YO ALL!! Been here in the past a year or so ago and havent been upto much meanwhile, except discovering the beauty of making music on computer with 'Reason'. If theres an overflow of stuff that needs tweaking/fixing in photoshop give me a call. Finhandley@email.com
By the way.. I LOVE the new look of the site..how smart can u get!!

I've got one. I get the problem where on some machines the sound effects occasionally sound scratchy and distorted. I seem to remember one of the prescribed cures is to turn off sound acceleration in Directx. This does fix alot for me but not 100%.

Watch out Joseph...

I bought the very model youre looking at and it soon became clear that its famous for having problems... about a week after using mine problem free it stoppped working on me completely and I had to take it back to PC World so I could get ALL my data off it..I had to sit in PC world all afternoon and do it myself cos they would otherwise have sent it off somewhere, and I may have lost everything for good!!

Before taking it back I checked it out at some forums and LOTS of people with this particular model have had problems, only for Maxtor to replace the hard disk, and then the problem happens again. It seems hard disks of this size (or at least external ones) have problems simply because of their size...apparently windows isnt quite ready for this. I would seriously avoid this model and find another. Or do what I did, buy 3 smaller external drives so that not everything is backed up on 1, so if one does fail you wont lose everything like I almost did.

Well, I've got a mate who lives in Weston and he says its a nice town....

Crooked arcades?? probably..Every arcade I've ever gone into has at least one "friend of the manager" who hovers about ,,emptying machines you've just filled up..I call that crooked

As for townies..if they are the only people who seem to be able to play these "crooked machines" then leave them to it and take up poker. Then beat all the townies at poker :wink: , and get out of town quick before they set their dogs on you.

Hope that helps

If you had an overdraft how could cash be burning a hole in your pocket?? Pay off the overdraft first, then losing more money wont feel as bad If you aint got it, dont gamble it :wink: what a nugget of advice!!
