  1. All you need is an Ethernet (RJ45) cable of the appropriate length something like the one below came be found cheaply almost everywhere!! https://www.amazon.co.uk/metre-black-Cat5e-Ethernet-Network/dp/B00DZJSA96/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1472912494&sr=8-2&keywords=3m+ethernet+cables
  2. Hello *Bob* Have a look at this, Not cheap but maybe it's what you're looking for? http://www.serif.com/webplus/x8/in-depth/
  3. Either would, being part of a pair of "The Devils Bollox"
  4. Scan them and save as a PDF, attach to email. send !!!
  5. Again I thank all the kind souls that have contributed to this thread, I am totally amazed that there are people out there that do give a F*%k! I am even more amazed that this kindness has evolved into one man paying for 5 nights in a cheap hotel! a second offer has also been given, I am so humbled and relieved, a bit of breathing space and a chance to rest my poor back! I had thought of relocating down to the coast as when I do manage to secure a place I will always struggle with the high costs of London I like many others before and no doubt many others after have been priced out of my birthplace. Thanks again. Ian
  6. A big thanks goes out to all of those kind souls that have offered their advice and support, Alas this still leaves me without accommodation, I have had one forumite offer to pay for a few nights at the peckham lodge!! But this is just delaying the inevitable. I have been trawling the net looking for advice and leads but a lot of what is on offer is localised, I think all of the authorities and charities have been inundated with requests, not surprising they have to refer you back to where you hail from. Another hurdle is being referred a lot of the various agencies operate on this basis and it's not simply a matter of turning up. I really am at whits end. Family I have none, Friends are not able or willing. Shit street without a paddle.
  7. The situation you described above was how it used to be when they 1st rolled out the upgrade, Microsoft have simplified the matter, and a clean install will be possible using your genuine windows 7 8 or 81. key. below is a guide http://www.howtogeek.com/224342/how-to-clean-install-windows-10/ Good luck
  8. Foxy, Download the iso from M/S and do a clean install.
  9. Southwark council in their wisdom have decided to end my stay in a homeless unit in forest hill, as of Monday the 6th, I will be put out onto the streets, I do still have my car and at least I am not physically on the street. Nobody it seems will take in someone in receipt of benefits. even the scruffy cards in newsagents windows stipulate this discrimination. I am on Employment support allowance due to an on-going back condition, this will only worsen sleeping in a cramped car, I am pulling myself apart with worry. I am a 58 year old and in remission from cancer. Could anyone find a place in their heart and home and help a man down on his luck and knees? A big ask I know! Ian
  10. Sue, The fact that you are getting a protected status is due to MSE having already removed the virus, TrojanDropper Win32/Dunik!rts is M/S's name for known threat. Have a look at this link for more clarification http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-security/trojandropperwin32dunikrts-files-affected-not/5abe0302-504a-4317-b556-eb438bc386e9?auth=1
  11. Sigh!! what will I do with all that money? the Resolution Foundation, warned that the richest households would be the greatest beneficiaries from next year's tax changes. From April 2017, no one will start paying income tax until they earn ?11,500 - up from ?11,000 from April 2016. And the threshold for the higher rate of tax will be raised from ?43,000 to ?45,000. The Resolution Foundation said that would mean the poorest 20% of households gaining just ?10 a year on average, while the richest 20% would gain ?225.
  12. Jah Lush, I think you might be a little off the mark! By lowering the threshold will allow more people to be eligible!! The ?3,850 is the minimum you have to earn before tax credits kick in as apposed to the existing ?6,420.
  13. Drxster Windows 10 will not be issuing any service packs, all major updates are now handled as "builds" it's more like the way apple update their systems, these builds are incremental upgrades and have all the necessary security patches baked in, it is possible to revert to an earlier build and if you do decide to try win 10 you will have 30 days before windows automatically deletes it (same with the builds). Windows 7 was the last O/S to use service packs. Windows 10 is a mash-up of 7 and 8 and as such much of it you'll be entirely familar with and only the "apps" environment will be alien!
  14. Peckham_ryu, There are many things that can degrade your computers performance, and it might be worth your while investigating what is slowing yours down, 1st thing is to see what if anything is hogging your resources, press ctrl+Shift+Esc to fire up the task manager, see what programs are loaded and how much they are using, click the tab labelled start up and see what programs are listed deselect the ones you don't need as these will slow down your boot time and will run in the background. You can also disable animations, right click the start button and choose system then advanced system settings, choose adjust for best performance, under visual effects check the custom box and uncheck the visual effects. Its worth going through your installed programs and uninstalling anything you do not use. you could also try resetting your pc so that you have a fresh installation.... Check out your specifications and see if you can install more RAM Windows 10 is the fasted system and set up right should provide a stable and reliable rig
  15. The easiest route is to accept the in-place upgrade, I guess you have the notification on your task-bar? Follow the prompts and let the installer guide you through the installation. As you are running Windows 7 you should be OK as the system requirements are similar for Windows 10, when you run the app there is an option to "check my PC" when you have completed your old O/S will be in the route of the C-drive labelled as "Windows old" this is the folder that will be used if you want to revert to your old installation. I initially went though this path but have since preformed a clean install by re-installing from the ISO that is available from Microsoft. I found the whole process easy and without any issues, Make sure you back up your data onto another drive or DVD's ,USB sticks etc just in case it does fail. I have performed this on several machines successfully. I would not worry overly as Microsoft have a huge database of hardware drivers and are improving the delivery via Windows updates so unless you have really obscure hardware then this should not be an issue. I would go for the upgrade as its a great offer and a fantastic O/S !!
