    Strange CPU usage issue

    After trying many things, I ended up re-checking all the power cables and plugs. I unplugged them and re-plugged them all checking for firm fit and connection. Since I did that, my problem has not resurfaced. Maybe it was a loose connection.

    Strange CPU usage issue

    Thanks for your reply. I have run Ad-aware, Spybot S&D, Hijackthis, CCleaner and I don't have the lastest Win updates. I know it is a strange issue, but I was hoping someone might have experienced a similar issue and could identify with the symptom.

    Did you need an addon to do that? I couldn't do it either. I could move all the navigational buttons and the stop, refresh etc up there but not a bookmark.

    FF : tabs

    I understand what you are talking about. I think that change must have come with an update. And I'm looking forward to seeing the answer as I didn't notice that before and prefer smaller tabs and no scrolling. May I ask what version you are using please law9933. Why not just click the wheel...

    best way to get pictures off camera?

    I can't recommend Fastone Image Viewer highly enough. Does batch renaming, batch resizing plus loads of image editing and organisational functions. And it's all easy to do. All free software should be this good.

    I am suprised Fastone Image viewer isn't mentioned on this list. I like it more than Irfanview and have been using it for quite a while. It has an excellent interface, great pop-out menus (from top,leftand right sides and the bottom of screen) while view images full screen. Image processing...

    I was rubbed up and down by a strong oily man today

    They aren't doctors actually. They like to call themselves "doctors of chiropratics", just like you can have a doctorate of engineering. I think "witch-doctors" fits better. So maybe you're right.

    Keeps Going To "Windows did not start successfully" screen

    I'd disconnect everything but the HDD and try startup. If it boots properly, just start pluging things back in one at a time, ensuring it boots properly each time. A process of elimination usually works. Is this a new build or an older machine which worked fine previously?

    What kind of cooking range is better? Gas or electric?

    My guess is, whoever wrote what you read was smoking Ice at the time. Gas is instant heat control. There is a reason why restuarants use gas, because its simply better for cooking. We don't have town gas available in our street, so when I redid the kitchen I put an LPG cooktop in and have a...
