Hi guys I'm having some trouble with my torrents. I suspect its to do with my internet connection timing out every so often. Is there a simple way to monitor my network for drop outs? Many thanks CF

Hey guys Just did a fresh Win 10 install. Please can you advise the best apps in the following categories?: 1) antivirus 2) firewall 3) system optimisation/maintenance 4) password tool that can sync with android (are these any good?) + any other recommended tools. Many thanks CF

Yeah, ok. So I use the media creation tool to make me a win 10 upgrade ISO? I can launch this as soon as I factory reset. Would it be just as good if I used system restore to make a backup after I'm happy with my new Win 10? Cheers

Yeah. I've had a play around with "reset" it will definately remove all my drivers etc and it will be too much work trying to source everything again. I think it would be faster to do a factory reset to Windows 8. What is the fastest/easiest way to upgrade to windows 10 after this point while...

Maybe. I need the battery management app however :S

The two options is to delete personal files or not to delete personal files.

Yeah. I've done this before and its taken me to windows 8. I just can't be bothered going through factory reset and upgrading to windows 10 again. Do you know if there's a foolproof method to reset windows 10 and still keep the drivers etc? It would make sense for "reset" to keep the apps...

No No app on the laptop and no separate disk I'm afraid. The only option I have is to launch factory reset at boot. There might have been some sort of command centre app when I first got the laptop ten years ago but I probably deleted it as bloatware. I was under the impression that a reset...

Thanks for the replys fellas. I like the idea of resetting windows 10. It does mention it will keep all the apps that came with the PC and that's exactly what I want. When it says it will keep personal files, is their a particular directory? For example I have a lot of stuff in "C:/Downloads"...

Hey guys I like to factory reset my laptop every couple of years because it somehow gets slow and laggy (side question: how do I prevent this? I run advanced system care 7 in the background and have aviva internet security) My only problem this time is that I don't want to revert back to...

Thanks pal I'm thinking the same thing. I'll just go into the station to save them wasting their time and mine. Cheers

Hey guys I reported a domestic incident to 999 which quickly defused while I was on the phone. Now the police are hounding me and the other party involved for a welfare check but we don't want anything to do with them. Where do we stand? Cheers

Thanks buddy. I already have that in stock from the sat days. Was wondering if there was a better option for cable. Missing a few channels you see, mainly discovery and animal planet etc. Is it worth replacing the thing in the attachment? Its connected to the wire entering the house. If yes...

Hey guys What's the best coax cable to run between the wall and my zgemma h2h? I've ripped out the old wire installed by virgin. Can you believe it was 2 wires connected via a female female coupler. Thats probably what was giving me the weak signal. Cheers

Thanks for all the great comments thus far guys. I've gone and sourced myself some active speakers. Now I just need to lay down the stereo cable around the room. Will any type of copper wire do? I'm thinking of taking apart an old Ethernet cable. Cheers

Thanks guys. I have rca outputs on both my DVD player and stb. Can I hook these straight up to my speakers and just control the audio from the stb or dvd? Will RCA still deliver audio to the speakers if there is a HDMI connection to the TV or will audio default to the HDMI port? Even if this...

Oh well. Back to the drawing board then lol. What are my options? I need to kill the TV speakers and need to have the audio controllable through a remote.

Thanks for that buddy. That makes more sense. So will this work?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073Y866J5/?tag=amazonmick223-21 Optical Digital Coax Coaxial Toslink to Analog Audio RCA L/R Adapter Converter | eBay I'd connect the converter to the TV and the speakers to the convertor. Would I...

I see. Thanks for the reply buddy. Would this work?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073Y866J5/?tag=amazonmick223-21 How would I control audio? Would it kill the TVs internal speakers? Thanks CF

Thanks boys. Yup. I've checked and double checked. no 3.5mm to be seen on the tv. I dont fancy the wireless route as I've already got copper wire routed all the way round the room under the carpet, just need the speakers and amplifier. Anywho, I had a quick look at my dvd player and found this...
