Ahh Hello Neddy, very kind of you to try to help me, unfortunately I didn't have any luck, but thank you for trying. Before I forget.........Bloodnock sends his regards ;)

Hi Folks, I've been trying on and off for some time to do a windows update but all I get is :-Error encountered 0x80070422 Last checked 21/04/2019, please help.

RandyL you are a legend, downloaded the update this morning and deleted the stuck message with no trouble, my neighbor, who is 73 btw, said to thank you so much as it was driving her mad. So it's thanks from her and it's thanks from me, thanks.

Hi RandyL, Sorry, yes it is Windows mail.

Hi Folks, A neighbor of mine has a problem which I can't find a solution to, so I've come for help where the experts are. It's a Fujitsu/seimens Amilo laptop running Vista, AMD Turion 64 - 2.2 Gb, 960 mb RAM, 60Gb HDD. There is a message in the Outbox of Outlook Express which refuses to be deleted, I've tried - delete, forward & move and each time all you get is a box with "unknown error has occurred" I tried starting in 'safe mode' but that did no good, it's not so much the fact that it's there that's the problem but the fact that every time the computer is switched on, and several times during operation a message pops up saying "there is a message in the outbox do you want it to be sent yes/no" Well, there it is, I'm hoping one of you learned folks can help to sort out this annoyance so that I can go back to having a quiet life again :) . Thanks for reading.

Right, I have an update ! I took it to a guy with testing equipment and it turns out the hard drive has had it, if it was an IDE I wouldn't mind, got some of those, but it's a SATA so it will have to wait. Thanks for your help guys, Ralph

Hi Jelly Bean, tried that, unfortunately no joy, but thanks anyway.

Hi All, I'm looking at a comp for a friend and I'm stuck ! It's a Dell Dimension 3100C, P4 3gb processor, 512 mb RAM 80 gb HDD Win XP. I switch on and get the opening screen, but before the progress bar gets all the way across it gives two beeps and goes onto an error screen telling me floppy diskette seek failure, it doesn't have a floppy drive, apparently it's built in. It won't boot into safe mode, but will go into bios. If anyone has any ideas or advice I will be most grateful, thanks, Ralph.

Hello again..........well I bought and installed the 256 mb memory stick....and....nothing, I press the power button and I hear encouraging clicks and whirrs and then nowt it just sits there. Question is :- is it the memory ? is it me, is there something I should be doing or should have done. All input welcome, thanks, Ralph.

Judas Priest..........breaking the law gave it away

well I bit the bullet, and decided to give it a go, only because I managed to find someone selling the exact memory needed for £9.25 all in, and, made by Samsung no less! I'll keep you posted on this thread :-)

Thanks to both of you, I have now found the same as you Jelly Bean, 1 slot max 256, not sure if its worth it, have to think about it, after all we can both use my Presario.

Hi Everyone, I'm in need of some help from more experienced people than myself. My Wife has been given a Fujitsu/siemens S series lifebook Mod No 4510. I was asked to look at it a few years ago and at that time it had Win 98SE installed, now however it has XP Pro and is as slow as a stopped clock. It's got a P111 398 processor, 128 mb RAM (max for this is 192)and a 28 gig HDD with 19.3 gig free, it's got very little software installed and I have done the usual defrag etc I am under the impression that it just can't handle XP but am hoping someone can give me some ideas on how to turn this, lost for words to describe, into a usable bit of kit, the Missus only wants to use it for e-mails, facebook etc no heavy usage, so, what do ya say, up for a challenge............. Now that I've got that off my chest I'll say Hi, my name is Ralph from near Windsor, here's hoping someone can help, thanks.
