It won't matter either way - if something stops working as a result, it'll stop working. Does the blue screen happen in Safe Mode with Networking by the way?

I have a Dell Dimension 3000 (boo) and the manual says I only have room for one internal hard drive, but I think it's because it only has one bracket. Would I still be able to add a second internal hard drive, if I were to purchase an extra bracket? If not, would either of the following external hard drives be recommended:

No it might be an actual limitation with regards connectors from the PSU. Just get a 1TB external drive. The Samsung one you posted should be fine, I've had a Western Digital MyBook Essential for a couple of years that's still working. Anything like that. I'm unsure of the quality when it comes to Toshiba. There is also the Seagate option Mick03 posted above.

I'd keep away from Maxtor :>

I'm trying to access the Skype website but my browser seems to always crash. I've tried FF, Chrome and IE. No luck. I've unistalled and reinstalled Adobe Flash 10 as chrome said that was the problem.

Any ideas will be much welcomed.

You scanned for shenanigans on your PC?

So, how do I get rid of this message?

Can I simply copy that file from another computer to mine?

Don Sweey do not hate me for this but....does anyone know where i can buy new Apple products of older models?

I'm in search of a new laptop, and apparently Apple are the way to go in terms of having a laptop with a long life and mainly problem free.

OK, two years ago I upgraded from Sky+ to Sky HD, I also still have my old standard Sky working on another television. So I have two different Sky boxes, Sky and Sky + working on two seperate TV's. However I have decided to try and replace my standard Sky box with the Sky + box which I still have lying around.

So I swapped all the cables from my Sky box to my Sky+ box (except the Phone Line cable which Im having difficulty to remove) and inserted the viewing card from my standard Sky box. Most of the channels work but channels such as sky movies, sky sports are not working. The following message appears:

"This is the wrong card for this set top box, inster the correct sky viewing card"

I assume this means that when I made the transfer from Sky+ to Sky HD, the same viewing card was used, leaving me with no card for my Sky+ box. Do you guys think this is the reason for not being able access to sky movies, sky sports, recording functions etc? Or could it be due to the phone line not being connected?

Cheers,

Update: I will put my viewing card which is in my Sky HD box in my Sky+ box to see if that does anything.

Trying to change my NAT type from "Type 3" to "Type 2", however Im having great difficulty. My web provider is BT and I have the home hub. I've done some searching online and it says to go to:

bthomehub.home

and then click on "advanced", and then "continue to advance", I am then prompted with a sign-in window. I enter "admin" as my username and then my serial number for password. However it doesn't work, I then tried admin for both, and still nothing.

My homehub firmware version is 6.2.6.E

Cheers
