Who cares who a computer is made by?

Did I miss something?

[NazNomad]

Anyhow, it seems nobody is reading this FAQ before posting questions ... no surprises there. ;-))

I think FAQ #1 could be ... "When asking a question about specific equipment, ALWAYS include make/model of the damn stuff, lol
With computers, the OS helps too.

I was referring to this post:

The trouble is that the ones who this info is aimed at don't read this. Perhaps a permanent sticky on top of the Question In Technology category with that ...

Top Tips For Posting A Question In Technology [in bold]
Hardware Problems: Include computer make and model information
Software Problems: Include operating system (WIndows, Linux etc. version) and software version information
Internet Problems: Include browser name (Internet Explorer, Firefox etc.) and version number.
Mail Problems: Email client (Outlook Express, Outlook etc.) or webmail name.

HI - Is there a programme that could blow power point out of the water -

I have made an interesting power point "advert" for my business window - but its limiting in as much as if I wanted to create an other ad to roll on after the first - it thinks its the same presentation and gives all the slide the same backgrounds - then only an empty slide (I have one with a star on) will separate the different ads

Any one have any ideas PLEASE

Can anyone please tell me if the Citronic MPCD/2 twin deck player has an option to play a single track or continuous play ? Someone has suggested that you have to re-start & press PLAY at the end of each track.

This obviously doesn't matter since it has remained uncorrected for nearly two years:
Software Problems: Include operating system and software wersion information
But would it be too much trouble to change that 'w' to a 'v'?

I have bought a wireless Rapoo Keyboard and mouse, the issue is when I connect the dongle to my laptop it only works for a couple of seconds. If I move it to another port it works again but again for only a few more seconds. I have tried downloading drivers from the site and repairing but still no luck. Any suggestions or is it just that it won't work......I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
