My computer was acting really slow as of late so I ran a diagnostic on it and it told me that I needed higher memory and everything else was ok. So I had made up my mind to get someone to install more memory and mentioned it to someone I know who said would I not install it myself it was easy. I said I don't think so I might do more harm than good. They gave me a link to a website they had used and it scans your computer and tells you exactly what type and how much memory you can use and even had a video of how to do it. It looked so easy I took a chance and bought the memory from them and I have just installed it in less than 10 minutes and the PC is running a lot better. It cost me £26 from the UK but I reckon I saved myself a few quid. I put this up just to say that sometimes we get a bit scared of computers and their workings but some stuff is easier to do than we think.

if you use Outlook Express as your emailer (as I do), then just open up the email and click on print. That usually does the trick.Last edited by Diddler; 07-11-2011, 12:35 AM.
