Could I please give a positive mention to PC repair at the bottom of Avenue parade, I was having mega problems with spyware etc however for £40 they wiped my system and installed new anti virus.
I know they had loads of problems sorting it out for me and I have to return with my PC as it's lost its sound but they will sort it out when I can next take my pc in.

The owners were really helpful and my pc works like new (apart rom the sound)
 
probably the same problem i had with my sound. did you check out your sound drivers/software .:oi some how deleted my software but downloaded it off the web..
 
if you have a windows key(bottom left) on your keyboard just keep that pressed, then press pause break key(top right)
a box pops up open device manager and in the long list of devices you should see a sound card mentioned, usually a simple delete from here the scan for new hardware should have your sound back on, the majority of modern systems there are generic windows drivers
hope this helps
 
im only a novice but if you go into control panel,then sounds and audio devices and then press audio and look at default device .
 
cause they didn't bother testing it? :D

I guess its a case of how much do they test a PC before deeming it fit for end use, Sound I'd probably include but what about testing usb to make sure its supporting v2 and not falling back to 1.1? It probably comes down to cost, the more they test the more it will cost teh user.
 
Wondered if anyone could help, I recently changed from Firefox back to Internet Explorer now I find I cannot open the links in my email for example on freecycle reply to this post click nothing happens. anyone know what I can do without it costing a small fortune.
 
In IE click Tools, Internet Options, choose teh Programs tab and make sure teh "Internet explorer should check it is teh default browser" option is ticked. If not, tick it and restart IE, when it promts to make it default click yes

I 'd liek to understand why your going back though?
 
With Firefox I was forever getting a message encountered a problem etc etc. Anyway thanks for info.
 
Which last time I looked had a rather large security problem.

For a real solution on Windows try Opera Opera browser: Home page.

However, it sounds that you just had a dodgy install, try downloading the latest version and reinstalling.
I would recommend Opera however with these things it is about finding one that works hopw your brain is wired. Opera suits me and being cross platform I use it on Linux at home and Windows at work(no option on that)
 
PC repair? is this the company with the shop next to the lingerie shop? if so they are idiots in no uncertain terms. One of their guys turned up at the offices i used to work in as he wanted to get the company into a 12 month service contract and he was a total waste of time, all they wanted was a new pc hooking up and connecting to the network and he barely even managed that. He was in fact more interested in ordering his burger over the phone.
 
And if you take a look at the 'web site' they have (if you can indeed call it that because it looks like a blind monkey on crack coded it) you will notice they seem to do alot of web site design....(again if you can call it that)....for the sex industry.

website wasnt built by pc repair its a ****e company the prev owner ran and it now being updated

there only downfall was when someone was sacked and was the one with the most knowledge unfortunatly instead of closing it down they decided to keep it running to expand there knowledge of pcs while maintining what they already do

its not easy when you get left in the 5hit like they were


p.s. im lookin to get some work there in the next few months so things will be looking up guys :rolleyes:
