I always thought it was the CIA who funded terrorism!!!!!:confused:

Took it home and tried to restore it and it will not work. Error comes up saying something about the SIM pin, SIM was never locked. Tried SIM in another phone and it works fine, phone is going back tomorrow and if no new phone is given contract will be cancelled.:D

Got it on Sunday and installed 2.2 straight away. As I said its ran well from then and just stopped working today at about lunchtime. Tried doing a hard reset and still showing same message on-screen about a restore being needed.

Had my Iphone a couple of days and it has been going fine. Was doing something on it today at lunchtime and it lost service and then error came up saying to connect to Itunes Restore needed. Phone has not been jailbroken and is currently in its original state. Has anybody else had this...

Bought the Hannsg 28 inch a couple of weeks ago in the UK. All I can say is its the best money I've ever spent on my PC. Too many people on forums with money to burn and bionic eyes all having a moan about it being a TN panel. Yeah its TN but if you have to go looking for the problems...

I'm running Vista X64 Ultimate. I know some of the cards have poor driver support for Vista but forgot to put it in my sig.:rolleyes:

Audigy 2 finally packed in on me a couple of days ago so time for a new sound card. I dont want a Creative card as the drivers proved to be a bit troublesome when using shoutcast. The soundcard will need to be suitable for gaming, music production and shoutcast streaming using Ableton and...

I do understand the meaning of alpha in regards to software. Only reason I decided to have a go was that someone suggested it might fix the problems I was having. I did eventually get Ubuntu 7.10 up and running with full hardware acceleration using my 8800 GTX, as I said I am persistent...

Think it was IRQ 19, will need to have a look and see what it is.

I did add the IRQPOLL command because of the IRQ xx: nobody cared! type messages. Will try the NOPAIC option as I did feel that Ubuntu was a bit sluggish compared to the hog that is Vista. Will also give some of the programs a try. Cheers eeyrjmr...:)

Right thats me got Ubuntu 7.10 up and running finally, after having a few problems with the live disc. Have it set up and everything seems to be running well. I am running the kernel at bootup with the following options IRQPOLL and ACPI=OFF, only way I could get it to boot. Can somebody...

Was thinking about disconnecting all the other drives so there is no risk of writing something to the wrong drive Cheers eeyrjmr, sounds like a plan. Have a nasty habit of killing installations when setting up dual boots.:(

As the title says is it possible to install on an external USB hard drive. Would like to keep my Vista install intact on main drive and install Ubuntu onto the external. I would then set the boot priority to USB hard drive and then have the main hard drive next in priority. As I dont...

I do agree with what you are saying about the P35 systems it may just be down to the different bios in the ABIT implementation. There are definitely peeps with P35 systems on other forums having issues not just me. Its possible that I may have been fine with the text based installer but I...

Managed to boot into the Ubuntu 64 bit live cd environment and am typing from there now. This is on a P35 based board as per my sig, may be of some interest to other P35 based mobo owners. What I did: 1 Press F6 at boot menu then down arrow to select safe graphics option 2 Remove the...
