I’m off to give that a look.
Talking of pcs problems….. I still can’t get my media player to play sound. My pc has sound but not through any media player, so I can’t play my music aarrrgghhh!
I’ve tried to download an updated driver for my motherboard but it keeps timing out and not finishing the download 👿 it got 24.3mb from the 25.1mb programme and stopped!!!!! 👿
Not a happy bunny! 🙁 -

windows media player 11 is out altough its a beta version but ive had no problems with it yet. And Windows Vista is not far away now anyway 🙄
Other option, remove WMP from your windows components list and use Itunes..

The usb speakers worked fine for a couple of weeks before it stopped.
Andrew, I’ll have a go at that and see if it makes any difference.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR HEARING AID??????????

Hey …… my music is playing now….. media player is working fine and so is winamp!!!!!
Must have been something that wee program picked up that’s fixed it 😀 😀 😀 😀 -
I’ve just run it too and it cleaned a whole pile of stuff from my PC. Hopefully this will solve my problem with being chucked out of the internet all the time.

I trust your judgement Nik so I ran this program on my home PC.
It picked up on a lot of "spyware" and the PC seems to run much quicker now.
However, I won’t try it on my PCs at work until I am satisfied it really does have a benefit without any downside.
Thanks for the tip off. 😀

no worries phil..im the same wont run it on works pcs…but it made a huge difference to my house pc always thought i had mines totally clean, anyway glad it worked…. 😉

Hey just my tuppence, but I find winamp excellent for playing music, wmp isn’t half as crisp, and with the sound cranked up it crackles (for me anyway, could be settings somewhere!) but i find winamp is a lot better IMO. Haven’t used itunes mind… for videos use vlc player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) it plays almost anything and it’s free!!

Hi Nik
Cheers for the link, I’ve just run it (I did back everything up first though!)
Found loads a rubbish which has now been cleaned-seems to be running well. I’m now going to run it on my laptop, which is as slow as hell! -
Just a quick "heads up"
Don’t install this on a windows 98 PC. It will cause it to lock up and even after re-booting will lock you out. Only way around this is to Ctrl Alt Del during boot up and shutdown the program running called AWC. Then un-install.
Works well on XP though 😀
