1367485 2014-02-16 23:52:00 so i should just get the composite version then wuppo? Mirddes (10)
1367486 2014-02-17 00:11:00 pc works great btw. sometimes i do wake up in the morning to find it's rebooted. it can't all be patch tuesday... Mirddes (10)
1367487 2014-02-17 00:16:00 I think you would be disappointed with composite - by all means try it - it's not an expensive cable.

Also worth trying the "VGA to component" cable; it's not a lot of investment, but be prepared for another line of attack if it doesn't work. If your tv doesn't have a VGA input, you might have to opt for a video card with an HDMI or DVI output. DVI does adapt directly to HDMI.

1367488 2014-02-17 00:19:00 tv has no hdmi/usb sadly.

usb port on freeview box is record only :(

might buy one of each and see what happens. my mother could use one. trying to teach her how to torrent.

1367489 2014-02-17 19:44:00 NAH ITS BEING A RIGHT SOD AGAIN

last night i woke to find it having rebooted.

eventually turned it off because i had a headache and its kinda noisy, wanted some real sleep.

woke this morning and turned it on. unresponsive keyboard on the recovery error boot option screen thing START WINDOWS NORMALLY

pressed reset hoping for keyboard to work. got a disk read error instead.

reset, same deal.

reset, start windows normally option presented again with an unresponsive keyboard. (unresponsive entirely, nothing does anything.


have a great day, all i can do is hope she becomes less temperamental as the day progresses.

1367491 2014-02-17 19:49:00 just typical, i leave the room to post the previous message from my mum's computer in the lounge, upon getting back to my room the welcome screen awaits me. Mirddes (10)
1367492 2014-02-17 19:49:00 Depending on what youre getting re torrents, have you scanned your system for malware. Replace the hdd Speedy Gonzales (78)
1367493 2014-02-17 19:54:00 ssd is brandnew, has been in my system for less than 2 weeks.

my system is clean. my mum's got pwned within hours.... turns out the latest version of izarc is bundled with malware. gotta stop recommending it.
theres an old version hosted somewhere that is less deceptive about the included software (which isnt malware, just not as useful as izarc)

contemplating either using the malware she has as a teaching exercise (how do i clean conduit and asktoolbar from her system) or just grabbing the drivers and reinstalling.

1367494 2014-02-17 20:01:00 Or if youre using that card remove and plug it into an onboard SATA port Speedy Gonzales (78)
