    Battlefield or COD?

    Right I finally got around to getting BF3 and playing through the single player campaign, I won't comment too much on the campaign itself as it's clearly an 'add on' to get your ready for online play - as I expected - but it was fun and very varied but not really a true 'campaign'. But for game...

    Password Management

    You can get pretty decent password 'safes' tbh cant actually think of one off the top of my head :rolleyes: as long as they use decent encryption and you stick to the usual rules you should be fine, hackers will go after the easy to break ones rather than the better protected. A separate...

    NAS drives

    You haven't specified budget but have a look at QNAP products clicky they have a full range of products ranging from £120 right up to enterprise prices and they support everything you need (depending on the model of course). You can even get them with a wireless option available in case you...

    Battlefield or COD?

    They are both different animals IMO, COD is more of a point, kill, shoot often the players are often in it for their own stats. BF is more squad based and rewards the team play much better. There are those who play the same way as COD but if you get a decent server it's very rewarding working...

    Resetting broken user permission

    Could be something very dodgy I'm afraid iirc Remote Desktop viewer may be disabled in SP3 by default, it was a security vulnerability, something executing it sounds very wrong. Messing with profiles does also sound dodgy. If this is a work machine, better to be safer than sorry - NUKE IT :p

    keyboard buggy after a virus

    First post in an Access based forum :confused: oh well no spam spotted so... You haven't mentioned which version of Windows (if indeed it is Windows - and yes Mac's can get viruses before we get any fanbois) but I've heard of the keyboard.ini file can be corrupted by viruses (for XP). Quickest...

    Browse CD link

    In HTML? it might be very tricky, HTML is really only designed to link to other pages or documents stored on the webserver (or in your case the CD/ DVD). Someone with more HTML experience may be able to hack something together but your biggest obstacle will be that each person may have...

    How can I safely erase a hard drive?

    Looks good considering it's free though a quick glance in the forums and I would suggest you read up on how to do it properly. I agree with Vassago I don't believe anything is immune there's always a better tool - military grade eraser = military grade recovery programme, I've even heard of...

    American English

    As much as I dislike the fact we have American English I wouldn't agree it's lazy or slovenly it simply evolved from English. As we know lot of American English words are different to English in spelling and pronunciation but if you look into the origins of the word aluminium it was original...

    American English

    Erm oops :p but it makes a perfect example of what I hate about the use of American English, MS Office still insists that the American English spelling is correct despite all settings being British English. IMO America makes sense considering the differences in spelling and pronunciation, I...

    Website request

    Agree, defiantly needs a face lift and a few alterations, my observations (please take this as constructive observations rather than a criticism :p): Logo - get it done properly so it's not stretched (as dan-cat mentioned in a dedicated graphics program and correct layout would sort it)...

    Cant beleive they shut down Lime wire....

    LimeWire used to be all right but as you have noticed their torrents are now often fakes. The most consistent one I've found is uTorrent as a client, torrents from reliable sources (ISO Hunt is one of the better sites as they have lots of comments on good files). But... streaming is probably...

    Guild Wars or WOW?

    Nothing it's SWTOR :p seriously hit the link dude (Star Wars - The Old Republic if you can't be bothered), it's a MMO with a defined storyline, kind of like a massive co-op game with LIGHTSABERS :D.

    Guild Wars or WOW?

    Anyone going to get SWTOR (when it finally comes out :p) got some gamer buddies who are big LOTR players whilst waiting for SWTOR to come out and want me to join now and as I don't play MMO's (I'm a FPS, strategy and driving gamer mainly) do you think this could be the next leap forward? and...

    Well what were the odds of that?

    Well today was an interesting/ surprising one for sure, I was filming a guy for a client who was doing some golf club/ golf ball tricks, you know the thing (he wasn't that bad actually) but as I was setting up I noticed the club the client had brought in for him to use (he didn't have his own in...

    Can't log off or shutdown XP

    Tut tut a user with no password :p Did you try the obvious first - reinstate a password log in as the user. You can also reset it under an admin login. You could also try the following: clicky. but...is this a work machine? if so be careful because depending on how the network and...
