Thankyou! This procedure worked for me. My working device was 2.7 and reboot was not required. I had tried a similar procedure from other sites but nobody had suggested testing each sub-device for sound first. Thanks again.

Comment on RGB Direct – yet another customer service failure… by John

RGB DIRECT

Have read all the reviews and thought it was just me at first…
Bought an item over the net, said it was in stock, paid for item later they said they need to order item in, I needed it straight away and said I want to cancel, they outright refused! didnt even take delivery at all. Very rude and arrogant Customer service… actually no customer service at all! they are a bunch of fraudsters! They should be stopped!
Feel like Ive been robbed!

DO NOT BUY FROM THESE COWBOYS!

Comment on Dell – Please don’t waste my life by George

Glad to hear Dell haven’t changed over the years – I used to have the dubious honour of presiding over about 40 odd Dell 1450/1650/2950s and was always amazed when the answer to “I’ve got a failed disk” was “Put it back in the server to see if it fails again”.

Any guesses whether it did or not??

Comment on Thieving Ba*****ds, TomTom and Autoglass… by TonyElyod

Someone broke into my car and TIDIED UP..Thanx
Failed MOT due to small chip with 2 tiny “spider leg ” cracks .(Obviously just over the 10mm ruling) .Rang Insurance company who advised Autoglass to repair.
I,ve seen the advert on TV.They show the “cracks” to disappear, leaving an almost invisible repair….I thought…GREAT……
2 days later a young girl of 12 turned up and spent about 10mins on Screen.
I noticed it looked 100% the same as before.
“Oh.It will look the same, all we do is inject resin into the chip to stop it cracking further.
I stated if it looks the same how will it pass the MOT??
“Its not in the A zone for a fail she exlaimed!!! & told me…blah…blah..blah….
Tell the garage its NOT a fail.
She then left.
I took it back to the Garage who basically told me that it IS STILL AN MOT FAILURE…(If the wipers cross over the chip…ITS A FAIL…(They did…just !!The chip was very high up and about 2″ to the right of my Rear View Mirror..I thought the girl would be correct as its NOT in my line of vision…I thought..
I rang Autoglass to see there take on this..
“WE DONT GUARANTEE MOT REPAIRS” was the reply….????
They said it needed a new screen….OUCH……
2 days later a guy turned up to replace the screen & its all good…
But what a load of “BOLLOX”, this MOT failure rulings????
Fully understand if chip/crack obscures your vision, but mine was up by Mirror…WTF..Someones making a nice little earner from AUTOGLASS….me thinks…nudge nudge wink wink…say no more…

Hi Ben

I received an email from bit10 so I thought I’d pop onto the bit 10 site.. it always did look snazzy…… I see Alex and yourself are no longer at the helm !!

Good luck in whatever you are doing…. I remember the old days about 10 years ago… the red MG and the Ben BMW !!

All the best, Jeremy

Comment on VM Server 2 and Vista Ultimate 64 by levidos

there was the same error message for me, but the problem was caused by the “VMware Host Agent” couldn’t start at startup. I started that manually, and presto!
