Control panel, Performance and maintenance, free up space on disk, follow instructions. Failing that, Polish and cloth. I'm sure there are other ways but thats all i do. |

Daniel, you should be doing lots more than that!! Take a look at the thread mentioned here - One Stop PC Maintenance by Judy in the States over on Tips board. She really is so helpful, everything is explained step by step. Mandy :) |

Daniel, I'm speaking to you in a mother's voice - sort your pc out while you're resting LOL. I have a son doing his GCSEs next year. Hope the results are what you're expecting and that you haven't been spending too much time on GR! Mandy :) |

Daniel, he didn't pick Food as an option, he picked The Great Unwashed ... and I reckon he'll get an A* if he carries on the way he's doing LOL. Goodnight! Mandy :) |

I meant for his design Technology. If he did, tell him to pull out now. Rediculously hard and pointless. |

Sorry Daniel, I was trying to be funny :))) Now I will be serious - no, he is doing Graphics for his tech subject. A tech subject is compulsory for him as his school has Technology status. You might like this one though .... before options, he had to make a spaghetti bolognese. Not being a star in that department, I took pity on him and weighed everything out for him, but couldn't find anything small enough to take 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. You've guessed it .... he thought I'd weighed the garlic and put the entire potful in (a jar's worth). It stunk the school bus out and of course we couldn't eat it, so it went straight in the bin which is kept in our garage - and all we could smell in the garage for weeks afterwards was garlic. Have a good day, Mandy :) |
