Competitions Discussion Thread Part 3

Hi peeps. Just wondering if it's OK to post a competition where a purchase is necessary to enter the comp?

This is different from being charged to enter a comp and I know those comps are banned, except for text ones.

This is where you are entered into a comp whenever you buy a product from the wesbsite involved.

URGENT HELP, - laptop is about to die a death, can I send my favourites list (one folder) via email to myself & how do I do it :eek: ???

IF you have IE7, click on the Star sign with the plus on it, just to the right of the star sign without a plus on it.

Select the Import and Export option.

Click Next>

Click Export Favourites and then Next>

Select which ones you want to export and then Next>

Then choose which file you want to save to.

Then e-mail the file to yourself.

It's too late, it's dead! Said it had half a battery left but lied

So, I need to know two things:
1) Where can I buy a cheap but reasonable laptop from tomorrow?
2) What do I remove from the old laptop so that no-one can ever retrieve my details from it

Any advice please, all in the name of comping

Hiya catz, not too crash hot on PC's but if you can get the old lappy on do a system restore on it with the discs it came with etc ( will go back to factory settings)


and how much do ya wanna spend on a lappy?

catz747

Can't get the old one on without hardware repairs, it's been going for ages and won't now charge at all. At the very most I'd want to pay £500.
The old one is 7 or so years old and cost £800 and so getting something more decent cheaply won't be difficult I imagine :rolleyes2

Go out in the garden and stamp on the lappy :rotfl:


This any good?

or for £50 more double the memory

Thanks Kipper, will have to look at those, I'm going to stamp on something :mad: will have to send my other half out to get one tomorrow - lucky I just sorted out my email setup on this PC - totally :mad:
