I thought that the 17" monitor was the wides you could get
Looks like I will have to get a widescreen one

Anyway, hows things with you these days? not heard form you
Smudger,

i dont know how big my montior is.. i think its 15 inches.. havent got a clue

im ok thanks. having a few pc problems.. its getting old and the viruses seems to attack me more than anone else...
it was secondhand when i bought it and ive certainly had my wear out of it..
i need a new one. have to save up some pennies


how are you and MK2?

Just thought I'd fly thru.......

you were too quick...
didnt even have time to get the lid off the bottle

WoW! that was fast!!
Have you noticed how much the prices are dropping on these lap-top computers? reckon Im having one of them soon, so Mk2 cant nip my head for being in another room on my PC

BTW, Have a look in the papers, you can get a brand new monitor Flat screen thin type, for less that £150 and they are also coming down in price They used to a lot more than that, so shop around
Smudger,

hi smudger

there is a local shop near to me, that is doing super duper go faster towers for £345..
im seriously considering having one of those...

can you get those cobwebs while you are up there???

Wow! I had to duck there!

Serenity, I always thought it was the speed of your internet connection that controlled the speed of you PC on line?
Or am I missing something here

As you already know Im getting a free upgrade up to 512Kps in May!so that should speed this one up a bit

Theres a cold wind blowing up here in Scotalnd today I tried sitting out in the summer house for a while, just to contiplate on things, but it was too cold
So I came back in to contiplate
Trying to think up my next Snippet? but I think Ive covered all my past life now
Smudger,

smudger.

i havent got a clue.. i just turn it on and chat
i dont use my pc for its full capabilities and im not technical enough to know about such things.
all i know is mine is old and hasnt got the power or memory or anything like that..
everything is developing faster than i have the money to upgrade it all

ok Helen... I'll get the s webs hun.... hate those bloody s... greedy, so many legs...
.
.
.Hi to you both... Helen n Smudger.... s n

Yep! there are acouple of wee s out in the summer house, but they dont bother me, so I wont bother them

If your computer does what you need it for, then its .

Its when you start using it for many other things that you have to worry about upgrading it! Its a catch 22, the more programs you use & need, then the more "updates" you have to D/Load in order for them to work properly
Smudger,

mornin all.

smudger.
some days i put the pc on and its quite fast at doing what is asked of it.. some days, its as if its too much trouble and it takes ages to go from one thing to another.

i couldnt get into my yahoo mails for a week and im having trouble with the graphics on msn mails. but i dont know if its the programmes or my pc.

its a catch 22 situation.. and other than getting the lastest top of the range, go faster pc.... and that only lasts until they make something even bigger.. you cant keep up..



sheryl.
i dont mind spiders in my house. i just let them run free, which is a pain when they race across the carpet

Have you tried clearing your drive Serenity, by using Window Washer or Ccleaner? You can D?load them free from the net!
Coz if your drive gets full of TIF (tempory internet files)it will run slow

Try using your maintenance tools,= Defrag ect
also get rid of any files you dont need or use, that will help as well

Apart from that, look for a better one! There are always folk selling them in the paper Adverts, for sale section!
Smudger,

hi smudger.

im forever deleting stuff and defragging. you dont realise how easily it all builds up..
but i will have a look for a cleaner that you mentioned...

the way i feel right now... an acid bath sounds good

15 inchs are you bragging man lol

Ah! Shifty
Looks like youve been reading the small print in the posts


Sereniity, Just type Ccleaner into Google and it will take it right to it

Also have a look in PC shops where you can buy extra memory (RAM)I bought mine on Ebay for £17, it costs £28 in the shops. That really helped to speed up my PC
It all depends on what you need your PC for really, if you need to upgrade it can be cheaper that buying a new PC
Smudger,

thanks smudger

im googling as i type this

Hope you find and install it As its just amazing how much junk can slow down your PC
If you get stuck, just give me a shout
Smudger,

mornin all

smudger. ive given it a cclean and a defrag....
but by the time i did all of that, it was time to turn it off, so i havent seen the benfits yet.
i wont be turning it on again till sunday night, so will let you know then
