    Have you got around to this yet? There's a forum on Boards that'll sort you out, follow the instructions there and they'll whip you up a great value rig from a German supplier. You can build it yourself then or get someone local-ish on Boards to help you...or get the Germans to put it together for 20 yoyo, depending on how comfortable you are with technology.

    Sure is! Bit intimidating the first time but as a friend of my brother said, it's like putting together (expensive) lego.

    Yup building it is straight forward sourcing the bits to build a bit more challenging.

    You may not have heard that I have recently availed of VER from the grammar police. Thus, NiallGK now wields my old baton. (Although I reserve the right to make a citizen's arrest, if something that I read here should really appall me.)

    First thing I'd ask is what OS are you running on the tablet i.e. if you go to settings, about tablet and check the Android Version.

    If you have just updated its probably been upgraded to ICS so version 4.1 or 4.1. There could be issues with that.
    A quick fix is to download a different browser i.e. Firefox and try the site through that to see if it works. I have found lots of funnies with the stock version of Android browsers.
    I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain

    cool, I have that effect on computers for some reason. They fix themselves out of fear

    was not truely gone but needed a break from Rugby after that NZ debacle so buried head in the Olympics and stuff. Good to be back in Rugby mode now especially as this place is starting to lighten up a bit with Munsters ability to play Rugby again!

    Turn the Phone Off. Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...


    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear. 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)


    Release the Buttons.Turn the Phone On.

    If battery is really low or completely spent then you need to leave it charging for ages and it may take up to10 minutes before the red line on the battery appears.

    Hopefully you won't have to restore your phone.

    I use twitter on 3 different devices, a home laptop, a work laptop and a smart phone, recently, whenever I want to tweet from either of the laptops I get a pop up window saying "this pc is running script and may slow down ......." it makes tweeting from my own laptop almost undoable and annoying on my work one. Is there a solution?

    I did a normal scan on my own one when it happened first but I haven't used anything like Ccleaner or malware or such like. I cant do it on the work one as the drive is protected. Also when it was happening on both I thought it might be a twitter problem.

    I'll give it a go later.

    I did a scan the other night using Malwarebytes, found a few trojans but it hasn't solved the problem. In fact after the scan I found it almost impossible to reply to tweets, I resorted to reading them on my laptop and replying from my phone.

    My son (13) wants to build a gaming PC. I get to buy the parts between now and Xmas
    My shopping list is
    PC Case
    Motherboard
    Power SU
    CPU
    RAM
    Hard disk drive
    Graphics Card
    DVD player

    I already have a bunch of hex and torx screwdrivers. Leaving aside KVM what else will I need to buy? Can I expect all the relevant cables and fans will come with the kit?

    If he wants to do a proper gaming build you'll need more fans, a fan controller and some cold cathode lightning. All cheap parts though. It'll be properly pimped then!
