Will I regret...?
Hi all, Looking forward to hearing your views. I moved out of the family home two years ago taking an ancient 15" Dell laptop with me and leaving behind the family iMac and I'm a bit of a Mac convert if I'm honest. Fast forward two years, the laptop is finally dead and as I'm looking for a new job I really really need a…

Grainy playback on HD camcorder
Hi. I have a Samsung R10 HD camcorder. Using a Transcend Class 10 8GB SD card with it. Problem I have is that the playback on PC looks very 'digitalised' around the edges of the subject when moving i.e. very blocky. Grateful for any ideas?

It's been checked for viruses/malware etc. It currently has only 2 x 512 mb of Ram and I know that I could put in 2 x 1gb sticks for about £50, but I'm reluctant to spend on it if its on its way out anyway.

Please help - computer at a virtual standstill!
Since yesterday my computer has gone from being quite slow to barely moving at all - it takes 1-2 mins for a page to open. It appears to be continually trying to do a Kaspersky update, but only gets to about 23% of the download and then goes back to 0% - could this be the cause? I have looked on the Kaspersky site but just…

Slightly OT - Double Glazing
I know this is a bit OT but I value the opinion of those who post here. I'm planning to have my front door, patio door, and two upstairs windows replaced in UPVC. I'm going to get a quote from two local independent companies and I was thinking of getting a quote from one of the nationals as well. Should I bother? If not…

iPad best deal
It seems that the prices of iPads are fixed in the UK, eg. 16 GB Wi-Fi + 3G £499, so that pretty much everywhere sells for the same price.
