    download ccleaner and run it on your machine. If it still remains download spybot search and destroy.
    If that fails let me know what site it is directing you to

    Google Malwarebytes, download the free version and run it. It will take a while, when its finished, select to delete everything it see as malware - reboot.

    You might need to run it twice.

    If you are using ccleaner are you okay to use spybot download at same time, obviously one before the other

    I need to sort a slide show of photos out this afternoon, can anyone advise me how to hell to get the slide show off windows media centre onto a flash drive? It seems to me you can only burn them onto a cd/dvd. Failing that can you animate the pictures on power point? You know the way they do the fancy zoom in and panning and that jazz? Thanks!!

    realtek are a company that make computer components. Sound cards / wifi devices as well asvideo and audio codecs. Chances are if it is installed you probably need it

    Elvis, et all, help needed please.

    Google forms, anyone familiar with this? I have created a survey on this and want to e-mail the URL to participants. However, i was hoping to put a time restriction on the survey, so that it is only open from X time until Y time... does that make sense, and is it possible to do? thanks

    As long as you are managing the form, you can manually turn off the responses on the date you choose, just login to your form, click responses and then click accepting responses,this will disable any more replies.

    Hi all,

    Looking for a little help, Basically I want to play football manager 2016 but my laptop isn't powerful enough or whatever to play it. A few years back I went off and bought one of the football manager games and brought it home and basically wouldn't work on my laptop. Did a small bit of googling and found a website which tells you if your PC/laptop can run certain games.
    http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

    Anyway tried this site there again and got the following results- Basically my dedicated video ram is the problem whatever that is, I have 64.0 mb and i need 256mb to run the game
    Sorry, your computer does not meet the minimum specifications required to run this product. Please review the details below for more information.

    Basically my dedicated video ram seems to be the problem whatever that is, I have 64.0 mb and i need 256mb to run the game.
    My question is, is there anything I can do to make my laptop run this game without costing a fortune?
    or-

    Does anyone know where i could pick up a laptop that could run this game on the cheap.
    I am thinking of upgrading the laptop anyway, the screen part and the keyboard part is being held together with duct tape.


    Any help or advice would be appreciated, I'd love to play this game again, always played it years ago and I'd like to have something which would totally take over my life for a while.

    Upgraded the RAM in my laptop and now it won't boot, even when I put the old RAM stick back in.
    I used anti-static gloves the whole time so pretty sure I didn't fry anything.
    When I switch it on I get the 'power on' light and I can hear the fan but screen is blank. No BIOS.
    Even reset the CMOS but still no joy.
    Can't find a solution online. Next port of call is the laptop repair shop unless someone here has any ideas.

    Solved.
    I was inserting the RAM at the wrong angle. I knew this could be an issue and tried loads of times yesterday without succes.
    Decided to give it another go today before giving up altogether and got it first time.
    Happy I sorted it myself but disappointed at how much of a tit I was until then.
