I should make the point that it was my Norton Firewall and not the AV that was the cause of the problem.

Hi LL - yes, I have managed to resolve it by resetting all of the auto-configured settings as per this support thread which I have dug up...

Since yesterday afternoon, I have not been able to send and receive email on my PC, not just for one of my ISP's, but for all. I am using Outlook Express 6 with NIS 2005 on Windows XP Home (SP1). The common error message I get is: "A time-out occurred while communicating with the server...

First off let me say that I am not an Exchange Admin, but a user trying to get an answer to an admin issue. I subscribe to a couple of Yahoo Groups (business-related). Just recently, their groups (or at least those I subscribe to) have begun sending the email To: Administrator and I presume...

Thanks again garebo. I think two then will be enough for my needs. I intend to get a 200Gb HD at the end of the month (who knows 250Gb drives might be optimally priced by then), but don't plan another drive for the foreseeable, at least not for another 12 months. By then, 300Gb+ will be cheap...

Thanks garebo. I never realised these things were so versatile. Two questions please: 1) So really I need to buy more than one of the same make so as to be swappable in the future. I take it that the internal drawers are not universal? 2) The caddy available from Ebuyer via the link I gave...

I have just checked and my motherboard is an ASUS AV78X. The manual says the following about the IDE: 2x UltraDMA 133/100/66. So I presume that means I am OK to get up to an ATA-133 drive as with the 200Gb one shown at Dabs? My current hard drive is a Maxtor 6Y120L0 120Gb so it would need to...

cdogg & garebo Thanks again for your updates of information. I still haven't gone out and bought a drive and caddy as I have to wait until the end of the month before I will have the money. Of course that is not really a problem as prices are falling rather than rising. In respect of price and...

Sorry guys, but I'm getting a little confused again. From what has been said I think you are saying SATA drives are superior compared to IDE, although I'm not sure in exactly what way. If the advantages in terms of performance and relative cost are appreciable then maybe I could get a SATA...

No problem cdogg - thanks for the "detailed" explanation. :-) I should know better about the speed issue as I do remember that there are 8 bits in a byte etc, so I should have worked that one out BTW, is the drawer I need one like in the link above?

Sorry for another question, but is this what I need to get? http://www.savastore.com/productinfo/product.aspx?catalog_name=Savastore&product_id=10214024&pid=45&tid=2 Will any IDE drive I choose fit in this? TIA

Thanks tf1 - internal IDE HDD with drawer it is then! I really appreciate all the help you guys have given. Cheers! [2thumbsup]

Thanks cdogg. I hadn't realised that USB 2.0 was limited so much. I had assumed that it operated at the standard USB 2.0 speed which I think is 480MB/s, with firewire a little slower at 440MB/s. If both are so limited on speed, then internal is the only way to go, preferably with an internal...

Thanks again. When I saw the SATA compatibility described I thought it meant it also provider the controller capability, but obviously not. A portable external drive *may* be useful if I wanted to share digital video with a friend (occasionally possible) or on a laptop (not that I have one)...

Thanks tf1 again for your reply. Having a look around (I am UK-based) I have found this: http://www.savastore.com/productinfo/product.aspx?catalog_name=Savastore&product_id=10275763&pid=207&rstrat=3099 and this...

Thanks for your feedback tf1 and felicx. You both seem to favour going internal rather than external, although the drawer option sounds interesting. I didn't know about that - does that mean you can buy an internal and treat it as an external connecting via USB/firewire or does it still have...

Hi - I have a 120Gb internal HD on my PC which is creaking a bit under the weight of a lot of files (only 10Gb free currently), over half of which is digital video I have stored on the drive. When I got the PC two years ago, I never thought that I would get anywhere close to filling up the...

Bump!

I need to be able to set the background color of some crosstab cells from the colour values stored in a table. Yes, I can use the Color(r,g,b) function, but my color number is a single composite color value. For example, I have one value which = 5592490 This equates to hexadecimal 5555AA...

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for this and for your lateral thinking. I'm almost there but am stumbling over one last thing. This is really off topic compared to the title of this thread so I will start a new one. Thanks again!.
