Thanks to some very sneaky reformatting by Rhys, ise back again to create more nightmares for old Niggles.....
We had fun and games getting the old poot going again but we finally managed to work miracles....and with help from the techie boys at NTL I is now fully working on 1mb direct to the ethernet thingy and all my animated bits are animated too...
So beware Niggles..don't even think about locking off another thread sunshine cos I'll send Rhys down to bite you hehehehe ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |

Actually..ise terrified of switching the poot off now incase it dies again. Why can't pooters behave themselves properly? The person (probably a bloke) who stated that pooters will make life easier and faster and more efficient needs his spherical objects cut off without anaesthetic in my everso humble opinion ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |

Oh ha ha ha ha....
When I go to my duvet in a while I is going to close explorer and leave poot switched on for fear it will die overnight......and before you ask, yes I have checked that no more overnight Microsoft stuff updating will go ahead, seeing as we fink it was that which caused the darn thing to freefall last Sunday night. ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |

I'd switch it off, it will be ok, either that or it will make funny smells and maybe smoke for a while..  ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped.. No BMW as yet... |

Did you have a quick peek on the notebook's undercarraige? They usually hide the XP Product ID sticker there these days to inflict maximum grief on legit users attempting to type it in. ------------- OwenW - E36 318is |

yep, thats where I got it from, unfortunatly when put in the tower unit, it didn't work. Had a copy of XP Pro on that first, but it got that full of junk it crashed over and over again, so I loaded my dell xp home disc on it instead from scratch. Home should work as its legit, but may have been registered on my lappy first, I don't know..
only downside was I had a lot of programmes on the tower.. and a few gigs of pics from college degree 
Oh well, its a clean start and easier to stop it junking up.. ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped.. No BMW as yet... |

Killian, you should know by now that banks treat YOUR money like its THEIRS and there is no way in hell that they are going to let go of it unless you point a banana or cucumber wrapped in a carrier bag at them and tell them that you will shoot them if they don't hand over the money that they have so kindly lost in the system on your behalf.

Killain, the reason cheques take 5 days to clear is that in those five days they sit in an account making cash for someone else. As for the whole 'man has never made it to the moon' stuff, i don't subscribe to that particular theory.

Mining cheese on the moon....well....ummm....erm....it does have dents in it, like Leerdammer does, that could be holes (but seen from earth they look like dents), so I spose cheese mining might be a booming business proposition...providing you can stop that really annoying cow from jumping over it all the time, of course. ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |

You know your nursery rhymes then Rhys.... Its typical though, isn't it? Flaming neighbourhood mutt nicks the spoon so no-one can mine the cheese but can you find a copper when you really need one? Nope, they are all doing 159mph down a motorway for the fun of it. Oh well, looks like cheese is off the menu for the time being...or at least til that pesky mutt has come back with the spoon. ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |
