I guess i could put some weird answers in for a laugh but i've always been bought up to believe that it was important having said that what about the 1 in 7 illegal immigrants that just vanish when they get here (figures from sky tonight) maybe i should protest when all them lot not o mention the homeless fill it in then i will after all it sounds like discrimination to me.

Oh no i get what your on about "Virtual PC" yea it might work I used to use it in XP when i needed to run a few apps that only worked in 98SE, it's been a while since i used it but it is there as a last resort but to be honest i'd rather wait until the apps i need will work in 7 without the need for any form of emulation having said that i won't rule it out, but a good reminder thanks cobra All1

Jesus not that old chestnut... Guess i'll fill it in otherwise they will kick the door in but this time i feel like being more mischievous so apart from the jedi thing i'll have to wait and see...

Google translate was no good for this one m8 i'm lost.

I have about half a dozen apps that refuse yo work in 7 even when put into xp mode or even 98 mode come to that the only app that has refused to work in 7 but did work in xp mode was an old version of NewsLeecher 2.3Final, I found some alternative for the failed apps but right now there is 2 apps that i must have working b4 i can move to 7

Well IMO they are the best by a long way I have tried most of the other one click apps and they just don't compare, I have it working fine in xp just not 7 yet if you need any more info then just PM me and i'll be glad to help. All1

Yea i know what you mean but I do love XP and won't be moving all systems over to 7 just yet, as it stands i'm just playing with lappy to see what apps are going to give me hassle and so far there are a few Quick View Plus, CCE, DVD-RB, AcdSee are just a few of them, most seem ok but there are a few that are giving me grief and MS will stop support for XP sooner or later i'd rather know what problems are facing me now and be able to work round it before it's too late. One thing i like about XP is being able to make it have that classic look at i'm not a lover of 7's UI so been doing some digging on getting that classic look back and come across THIS and when you apply it, it looks so cool, early days but it seems most of the apps just a few i need to update or failing that find alternatives for but i CANNOT do without CCE and DVD-RB as i use these for all my DVD9's to DVD5 conversions so more reading ahead. :Study: All1

OK I am slowly dragging my fat ass in the world of Win7 (Jesus how i miss DOS) and i'm coming up with a fair few problems with old apps not working. Now maybe this is because my apps are so old (AcdSee 9) but i always worked on the basis of they worked for me it was OK, is there some trick i'm missing or do i just need to update them, I have tried running them as Admin (I mean what's all that about) and running in XP SP3 mode (as they all worked on my xp SP3 machine. It's not life or death right now as i'm just playing with it on the lappy but would welcome any feedback that people who moved from XP/vista to 7. http://www.howtogeek.com seems to offer some useful info but not found out why i'm having so many problems.

If there is something you/they MUST see then let us know and i'm sure i can grab it from newsgroups or one of the P2P boys can sort you and host it somewhere for you/kids. Anyway have a nice time with the family (poor sod) and hope it goes well for you m8, all the best. All1

Has anyone heard of a replacement for the iPod Classic coming soon? All1

We got our first lot in central London today, not a huge amount but enough to cause trouble on the roads, mind you throw and ice cube on the floor and the uk comes to a halt. All1

I may be able to help, best i can offer is capping in mpeg2 format using DVB-T stick or PCI card and then finding some software to convert to DVD format. i use to do this a while ago working with some people who posted Big Brother on newsgroups but not done it for a couple of years, i can try to set the machine up again to do it, what time and what channel do you need capped?

This is how i saw it

controversial painting at a Banksy gallery of the bus blown up during the London 7/7 attacks is set to raise eyebrows among victims' families and the public alike. The black and white picture by former Tube graffiti vandal Mark Sinckler shows the wreckage of the double-decker, with renaissance-style angels flying out of it. The bus was destroyed in the explosion in Tavistock Square, after it was targeted along with three Tube stations by suicide bombers. A total of 52 civilians were killed in the attacks on July 7, 2005. Sinckler's work will be placed in the window of a new gallery created by Banksy, who is no stranger to controversy himself. Speaking about the Marks & Stencils gallery in Soho, London, the renowned street artist said: "People enjoy shopping more than they enjoy art. "So it makes sense to try and disguise your gallery as a home furnishings store." Open for the next four weeks, he described it as "a chance for the public to see some less-refined culture after they’ve finished browsing Soho’s adult bookshops". The Bristol-based artist, who has never revealed his identity, is famous for painting political and satirical graffiti on walls during the night, apparently unnoticed. His artwork has been sold for up to £600,000 at auction. Collectors apparently include Angelina Jolie and Damien Hirst. I happen to think it's a beautiful bit of work. All1

As some of you may know i'm doing a little boys laptop for his christmas gift from his mum, updating windows/AV/malware apps, sorting drivers out for printer and getting it to run they he would want it (with his mum's suggestions). So one thing his mum wanted was some nice images of Manchester United players/training ground/main ground etc etc just some nice images for him, so i email Man U and explained he has ADHD and any images they could email me would be more then welcome, 20 mins later (nice and quick) I get a reply saying we don't have any images, but if you want to look at our other image site they might be able to help. Low and behold when i clicked on the link loads of photo's there the ground from the air and everything, superb images for the kid and they wanted money for every shot.... I know money makes the world go round but for f u c k s sake where do you draw the line, i was never a fan of Man U but now i hate them with a passion (almost as much as Diana) just seem like money grabbing pigs, disgusting, pure and simple.. Rant over with. :Furious: All1
