  1. Hi again We have just recently installed sky player but I have this annoying stop start buffering every few seconds ,sky told us to try a few things but frankly I did'nt think it would help and it has'nt, things like deleteing history etc every thing they said to try I did, but it's no better however it can be ok with other downloaded items like utube most of the time So what is causing this buffering fault and can it be resolved my speed is 5.4 mbs which is as good as it gets where Iam Devlin
  2. Hi everybody hope you all had a good time over the festive My toshiba lapyop is ok but I cannot kick the onboard wireless thingy into life every thing is cushty in the device manager with no q marks or triangles despite my best efforts I cannot resolve this even with the excellent help on here so I have decided to go for a wireless plug in However I am a complete ejit when it comes to this stuff do I go for a card or dongle and how can I get wireless speakers into the mix I have promised her indoors I would sort this out after new year, its a satelite pro sp6000 with a little pair of swively doors is that where one would shove in a card hope you can help again Dev
  3. 10 years back i bought a pc and it came with a whole load of games most were pretty naff, but one in particular appealed to me immensly called recoil 'a technology game with a anti technology theme' was how it was once described does any one know if it ever had a sequeal like recoil 2 perhaps or if you know the game can you reccomend a similar game, I prefer the 1st person aspect type games any suggestions welcome Dev
  4. Hi All Thanks to Plastic nev and dirty polo between both of you and following the suggestions it now works just great, thanks again guys. After Christmas holidays I am intending a revamp of the entire pc as its getting a bit 'old' now as is most things around here, me included. Dev
  5. Hi I have been on the site you mention and downloaded the wireless LAN driver for stelite pro sp6100 1.6 14'' on xp it downloads ok and I can unzip it into I think 6 different icons, files or whatever but I can do nothing with them and there is no mention of them in device manager although the other drivers I downloaded are in the list. the lappy works fine with a cable into the wirless modem and the wireless switch is on.One other thing that I have just thought of is how can I tell if the machine is wireless capable or ready I am just taking it for granted cos the place I bought it from said it was but that was a while ago before broadband was widely available even let alone wireless. Dev ps maybe the best thing is to buy a dongle thingy

  10. Hi Again all I hope someone can help me with this I have just recently reinstalled xp on a laptop satelite pro, its working fine except that I would like to enable it's wireless facility, I have dowloaded the LAN, wireless modem,, bluetooth stack, utility's drivers from Toshiba's web site, some download then install automatically some just download and there is my problem when I open the file(s) I have no idea which icon does what. I have tried opening them but I am clueless as what to do with them, I have tried using the evaluation version of winzip also and as far as I am concerned thats about as clear as drinking chocolate. Thanks Dev
