todd has the same thing too. i dont see the point of buying a laptop when its going to sit on your desk... "ahem" desktop... might as well buy a desktop that is expandable and customisable...Quote:

It doesn't need expanding or customising because I have external hdd and I'm not into gaming lol. Just needs the occasional full windows reinstall hey lolQuote:

see my above comment, we posted at the same time lol
Sounds quite reasonable to me, we've got 3 laptops, 2 desktops (which are never used), 5 android tablets, 2 smart phones, 1 ipod and a partridge in a pear treeQuote:

Getting tired of using a htpc.
why cant you just build a micro PC with a BD Disc drive and a gigabit capable ethernet port? that would be the easiest solution? and probably the cheapestQuote:

Yes you did, my old man got it free from work and was going to give it to my daughter for Xmas a couple of years ago. Told him she can't have it because we'd got her a tablet. He gave to her the following year but she can't use it because we refuse to open up an account for her. It's sits in a drawer waiting to be thrown outQuote:

As it used to play really well, except for one movie that I downloaded. Avatar. But that was a 29Gb file and it jumps around. Now its jumping around a lot now and I can't put my finger on the cause. The network or the HTPC.Quote:

Wether it was just a coincedence? I don't know.
Anyhow, I got the shits with it and left it.
i would have to say you bottleneck probably is the northbridge of your motherboard and thats what cant handle the information being decrypted from the video, have you considered that?Quote:

Did you try turning it off and back on again?Quote:

iOS flame suit is on ;)
I have a new phone and my old IPhone 4S will not register with the computer and obviously iTunes so I can back everything up.
Tried on 3 different computers and different cables different USB sockets etc.
Is there any other way I can get my photos, contacts off etc?
Upload to say photo bucket, and contacts to a seperate account.Quote:

Ie the window does not pop up on pc registering an external device has been plugged in.
However, it does charge off pc USB.
Without taking it to someone can I somehow Bluetooth or wireless?
