RE: Installing Linux in free space
Thanks so much for your help. Just to ckeck before I do anything stupid: I extend the DATA partition (there's not much on it atm, so it's probably the best) to fill all space, then convert it to "Logical / Extended" and create the new logical par... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 07-21-2008 at 07:14 AM |
Installing Linux in free space
Firstly let me explain my hard drive. It has 4 partitions, all set up when I bought my laptop. One contains Windows, another (DATA) contains Documents, Videos etc., one has Acer InstantOn Arcade and the 4th is called PQSERVICE and I don't know what ... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 07-20-2008 at 10:18 AM |
RE: Best Photo Gallery Software
Windows Live Photo Gallery is the best I've tried. Note that it's not the same as Windows Photo Gallery, which is built in to Vista. WLPG is a separate download which has extended features and is compatible with more than just Vista (a bit like Win... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 07-18-2008 at 09:59 AM |
Acer InstantOn Arcade with Linux
I have an Acer 8920G laptop, which came preinstalled with "Acer InstantOn Arcade", whih is essentially a lightweight Windows XP installation which is always hibernating and loads Acer's alternative to Media Center. It is loaded by pressing a speci... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 07-18-2008 at 09:41 AM |
iPlayer Netgear router
Hi I have been having problems downloading from the BBC iPlayer on Vista. I can play videos OK, but get a "delivery failure" message when trying to download. I'm not sure exactly to configure my router to accept it (my router is a NetGear DG834) a... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 12-12-2007 at 08:46 PM |
RE: Aargh! Windows not loading!
OK, I went the whole way and reinstalled Windows XP from recovery CD. However, all is not quite well. Nothing seems to want to be installed, and the computer won't even recognize my graphics card type or allow me to install drivers. Any ideas? | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 12-04-2007 at 06:16 PM |
RE: Aargh! Windows not loading!
I'm sure that's all. I've videoed the whole thing. I can't attach it here, but that was all it said. I think a reinstall is the way it's looking... thanks for your help. | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 12-03-2007 at 08:03 PM |
RE: Aargh! Windows not loading!
OK, status update (sorry for double post) I have managed to film the loading sequence. No error code is given, just a fairly generic message: I have no XP instal disk, just a manufacturer reset disk. I downloaded a recovery console. CHKDSK /R simply... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 12-03-2007 at 07:39 PM |
RE: Aargh! Windows not loading!
I'm not sure, it appeared too quickly to read. I tried photographing it to read it, but it was too quick for me! I'll give it another go. It was a short message, certainly. | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 12-03-2007 at 07:02 PM |
Aargh! Windows not loading!
Hi I'm having serious problems with my computer. When I turn the computer on as normal, the Windows flag appears, but after the little blue loading bars have moved across the screen twice, the screen flashes for a fraction of a second onto what appe... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 12-03-2007 at 06:12 PM |
RE: [Release] Online Chat Logger
Sorry, I wasn't aware you were attempting to contact me. My inbox is always open :). Anyway, your script looks great; good luck with it. | rob_botch | Scripting | 11-02-2007 at 06:54 PM |
OS recognition
I am having a problem, whereby my operating system is not recognized by websites through Internet Explorer, and I am therefore unable to use Microsoft Update. Through Firefox, the OS is identified as Windows NT, which I would assume is correct, becau... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 09-26-2007 at 08:18 PM |
RE: Help! Restore Bootloader
Thank you everybody so much for your help. I have now sorted my problem, so I'll post how I did it just in case anyone else has similar problems. Using the ubuntu Live CD (something I strongly recommend to everyone for such circumstances), I downloa... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 09-04-2007 at 06:11 PM |
Help! Restore Bootloader
Hi I have a really bad problem with m computer. I attempted to install ubuntu as a dual boot with XP, however, the installer failed. Whenever I turn on the computer, I get a GRUB error 17 and neither OS will start. I can use the ubuntu Live CD (this ... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 09-03-2007 at 09:18 AM |
Dual - Single Boot
Hi A while ago I installed the Windows Vista Beta alongside my normal Windows XP as a dual boot on a separate partition. The beta has since expired, so I want to remove it. I think I have an idea of what to do, but does anybody know whether or not th... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 09-01-2007 at 11:19 AM |
RE: DVD-RW drive no longer writable
Well, I managed to find a Sony driver on the internet (Sony itself don't seem to know they ever made the drive) and installed that. This solved the problem partially. I can use Ashampoo and other programs now, just not Windows itself to burn discs. ... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 08-30-2007 at 01:34 PM |
RE: DVD-RW drive no longer writable
Thanks. I have just Googled and found that Sony drives are actualy rebadged Lite-On ones, so perhaps there is a connection. I'll try this. | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 08-30-2007 at 12:40 PM |
DVD-RW drive no longer writable
Hi This is the strangest problem I have ever experienced with a computer. My computer has a DVD-RW drive which came with the computer. This has always worked perfectly until recently. A few months ago, Windows wouldn't recognise it as a DVD writer, ... | rob_botch | Tech Talk | 08-30-2007 at 12:35 PM |
RE: Anyone want to work on a Messlabs plus script with me?
Perhaps not exactly what you want, but there is already a script (Status2FTP) which can upload such data to any FTP server. Perhaps MessLabs could decode that server-side? Failing that, I would be happy to help! Robert | rob_botch | Scripting | 08-25-2007 at 03:07 PM |
RE: [Release] Stikkit Live!
I think I understand your point. Is it that whatever you enter in the entry box only appears in the title of the stikkit, not the body? Stikkit itself works that whatever the first line of the stikkit is becomes the title. Therefore, if you enter a s... | rob_botch | Scripting | 08-25-2007 at 07:52 AM |
RE: [Release] Stikkit Live!
Thank you for your feedback. @ Sunshine: Thank you for pointing this out. As I had been using it from the start, I hadn't experienced this problem. This has now been sorted, and a new user should only see one error message when signing in / initiali... | rob_botch | Scripting | 08-24-2007 at 01:13 PM |

[HELP!] Control Visibility
Hi I was wondering whether anybody could tell me how to alter the visibility of a control (a checkbox if it makes any difference) in my script interface window.

RE: [help!] XML HTTP
Thanks everybody for the pointers. Actually, I've just discovered and solved the problem. It was my own stupidity which caused the problem: apikey is actually api_key. If only JScript had stikkit's levels of free text compatability... :P | rob_botch | Scripting | 08-22-2007 at 04:48 PM |
