    I would try installing on the first before wasting any money


    So it's an OEM laptop with the pre-installed Vista on it (never bought a proper computer system before except this one) and that should be fine? It won't matter about recovery partitions or should I check with Acer before doing it?

    I dont know about that, if you keep the recovery partition you should be good though.


  3. Just what I was thinking. Thanks for the help - if I need any more I'll be sure to ask.
  4. I have another question.

    I recently opened a PayPal account. Is it safe to order something from the US - this on PayPal as it's the cheapest I've ever seen it anywhere? If it gets lost in transit or delivery, will PayPal reimburse me for the cost sans delivery?

    Looking at their record they've done 6000+ items at 99.3% positivity so they should be safe but just wondering about that above.

    Also, they don't get my bank details do they, like so some shop in the US has them on their record - only PayPal knows my details of bank and that stuff? Just my PayPal name and address to send it to is all they'll get?

    I'd advice creating a backup of your documents and do a clean install. Because upgrading isnt as good as a clean install. Also an upgrade is only possible from the same Vista edition. Upgrading from XP is not possible (It will remove all data then).


    Ok thanks for the tip! I'm on Vista Home Premium.
  6. anybody really good with routers?

    I'm sure I can see the problem but not sure whether a change is needed with the router or with the phone itself. My router is setup to run as a DHCP server as is normal and has an IP range of 192.168.1.xx to 192.168.1.yy but the phone keeps obtaining an IP of 84.164.244.xxx for some reason. That has to be the problem. I have added the phones MAC address to the routers device list etc but it keeps hooking up to that same random IP address. I'm stuck.

    Tried disabling encryption, wpa/wep etc etc but still it goes for the random IP address

    Yes, I do it all the time, never had any problems even when buying from China.
    All my guitar equipment is coming from the US and its worth about $1500 AUD all up.

    If you get insured shipping (which is usually offered) you should have no problems at all when your dealing with an eBay Power Seller.

    They don't get anything other than your mailing address (and the money of course).

    Can you set it to automatic and let it find it's own IP address? Either that or there's a conflict within the router.
  9. Record players...tips on picking one out, anyone?
  10. Hey Risto, is this the right topic?
  11. Can somebody please tell me how to make a dvd of the Rose Bowl show? I downloaded the links. Used DVD flick to make a dvd out of it but sound and vision is not running the same time. Can anyone please help. I get some U2 rehab problems.
  12. I'm having massive problems uploading files to a hosting service. They're not particularly large and the problem seems to be with the connection rather than the service, because I've tried a bunch and the upload always cuts out after a few minutes. I fileshare a fair bit, and I've never had this much of a problem before. Anyone have any wisdom to share?
