  8. The article also mentions that it may affect certain versions of winlogon.exe and as my neighbours OS is in French this may be the cause. Also be aware that when you update from microsoft they load a small verification script to determine whether your copy of XP is stolen/copied....I am not suggesting that anyone here would be in that position[Www] best regards Dave      [img]http://bestsmileys.com/computer1/7.gif[/img]

  10. An easy way to resize photos is to download the Windows Power Tool called 'image resizer'. Once installed you are able to double click a picture and once it opens in the preview window you can then right click and choose to 'resize image' into about 4 different sizes, small, medium etc. It will ten place a new version of the image back into the folder called 'imagexxxsmall.jpg' or 'imagexxxmedium.jpg' depending on what size you selected. hope this helps? best regards Dave[geek] http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx you will find the download on the RH side of the web page.

  12. It worked....I booted into 'safe mode' and uninstalled AVG then rebooted, came back as normal into windows, reinstalled AVG and downloaded latest updates and everything is OK now..[:D][img]http://bestsmileys.com/computer1/10.gif[/img]
  13. My neighbour asked me to take a look at her computer because it had a virus, AVG had detected a 'trojan' in winlogon.exe and so quarantined the file, when she rebooted the PC it does not reach the welcome screen  but reboots in an endless cycle. I came home and have been seraching for  a solution and thus is what I have found. I will go back tomorrow and see if I can follow the instructions form AVG to rectify the problem. http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/read.php?4,84794,84820#msg-84820 best regards Dave
  14. Hi Jonzjob,    no offence meant, I should read the post with more care...point taken.[:P][:D]

  16. I think it may only be on the internet tonight http://france24.wordpress.com/ with a launch tomorrow on cable & satellite, but can't find a channel number, maybe it will be apparent when it goes live? regards Dave
  17. [quote user="Jonzjob"]I'll tell you lot something. Since we moved to France we have found some wonderful FRENCH food in French resturants. Wonderfull food, cooked well and with lovely flavours. I also found some wonderful Chinese food when I was in Singapore for 2 1/2 years. Fantastic Malay food too and when I went to Thailand there were fantastic Thai resturants there? Why do people want food 'from another country' cooked to taste as the people from another country want it to taste at home? Indian food in the U.K. has no bearing on what Indian food tastes like when it is cooked for Indian people. Chineese food is the same, nothing like the Chineese eat! It has been tailored to fit another completely different taste. Balti dishes are as much Indian food as are popcorn. They were invented by enterprising people who knew that when they started a new fashion the guilable would latch on to it and '''enjoy it'''. If yu want GOOD food then go for what is cooked and eaten by the people who live in that country. But go to a recomended place. You can get c r a p  where ever you go! When in Rome, wear a toga!!! Oh, and eat spag boll? Here endeth the lesson? [/quote] Hi Jonzjob,      are you saying that it is no possible to get authentic curry in the UK? If you are I have to disagree, we lived in a large asian community in SE london and in our street most of our neighbours were Asian, having eaten in their homes I would say that what they eat compares well with what was on offer in some of the restaurants. That said I agree that some dishes have been 'manufactured to appeal to westerners, other than Balti there is the lovely pink Chicken Tikka Masala which I am told is not quite so pink now because of the food dye!       And you only need to go to Soho's China Town for Chinese restaurants full of Chinese/Asian people enjoying their food. What I think it all comes down to is that if you personally enjoy a 'regional' food be it Indian, Chinese, Italian, whatever, If you enjoy it then that is all it comes down to same thing with wine, we went to our neighbours (French) and were proudly served with sparkling Lambrusco....this from a family connected to one of the best Cahors vineyards! Very nice it was too. Personally I don't thinkk that you can get a good 'tater 'ash' outside of Manchester...[:D] best regards Dave
  18. Hi Lori,       I have not heard the 'song' in question but it reminded me of some friends who last year took their 10 year old son and a few of his friends to McDonalds in Cahors on his birthday, while there they had to complain to the staff because they were playing some rap songs with explicit language, she told me that everyone seemed to not understand or if they did were not concerned. They complained to McD in France and had no response, I did tell them that it would have been a good idea to complain to the American parent company but in the end they gave up so I don't know if McD in Cahors still play the music.      As an aside we were discussing 'French Populaire' words with our neighbour and their 10 year old piped up with F**k they were astonished and asked where he had learnt it and sad to say he replied that it was from the English boys at his school, in their defense I bet it was in exchange for a few bad words of 'French Populaire'...! I am amazed that stations like Skyrock have it on their playlist.....but then am I just turning into "that miserable old g*t" that I said I would never become when I was sweet 16.... best regards Dave[:)]
  19. This is so funny.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgrbI97e44Y&NR [I]wonder where I could buy some?
  20. Hi Chris,       found this on YouTube and was wondering, do you have specialised blades on the chainsaw that you use for carving? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OejWDAPZvg8 Maybe you could get someone to film you at work too? best regards Dave
