Volume or not to volume
Does anyone know if, a hifi system containing a number of volume controls within it's length should be adjusted as follows. All set to maximum and then the amp volume used to adjust the listening volume, or moderate volumes through the sequence? The latter resulting in a higher amp/pre-amp volume? I suppose my gut feeling…

BT Home hub 2 dropping
My mother has had BT Broadband with the original router for many years. Occasionally it drops out and has to be rebooted. The dropouts are now more frequent - 6 or 8 times a day. She lives in a block of flats with many other Wi-Fi networks around. I am wondering if it's just a case of changing her hub's channel or if it…

Stereo with Aux in question?
Afternoon all, My mates asked me to get him a new stereo for his office. It will mainly play CD's, but he also has about 25 records (which he can't get on CD). So I need something with Aux in. The turntable ends in 2 phono's and that's where I'm having a problem. Most of the units with Aux in have a 3.5 jack. Some for the…

Keeping Flashplayer turned on?
Whenever I go to All4, to watch a catchup programme, it gives the message that Flashplayer needs to be either downloaded or turned on, in order to watch the video, so I have to click the button to turn it on. Can I set it to automatically turn on Flashplayer. If it matters, I'm running Chrome on Windows 10.

Lost sound on two TV channels
Nos. 66 and 68 - intermittently on one TV, but not on the other TV. No other channels affected, and it is only intermittent. When 66 loses sound then 68 also does. They've both been silent all day today on the lounge TV, but the even older TV in the bedroom is fine. It can't be the mute button as all others are OK. I'd be…

Outlook
Is there any way to clear your calendar history quickly? Events in calendar history are taking up space. Only way found so far to delete them is going in on each day by day to delete them. If going back say 3 years this will take too long. Thanks

Increase performance W10 without hardware upgrade
I realise more RAM and SSD would have the biggest effect, but I haven't had time to sort that out (I realise the tech wizards here could upgrade quickly, but it would take me a weekend!) I wondered if there was anything that can help speed up a W10 machine in the meantime?

Dropbox ceased about a year ago and until recently OneDrive could be made to work by using the old SkyDrive app but that seems to have been stopped too. iCloud Drive was never properly supported on 10.7 and work around that you can find online no…
