    internet connection issues?

    My laptop will connect to my home wi-fi network without any problems, however it will detect my phone but not connect to it for me to use it as a mobile "Hot "Spot" to access the internet. other devices, my Kindle and my wife's laptop will connect through the phone.

    If I run a diagnostic on the connection the results tell me there is a problem with my wireless adapter or access point, but how can this be if other devices are able to connect through the phone?

    Any help would be good, thanks

  • wages and overtime payment?

    As a resident of the UK,could anyone tell me if it is legal for my employer to offer a guarantee of "X" amount of hours payment per day, then take a legally required break period off my wages, thus reducing the actual amount of hours they guarantee.

    Not only that but should I not work the hours guaranteed on any given day they will take the "missing" hours from any overtime worked on another day to pay back the hours I didn't work.

    Surely this does not constitute a "Guarantee"

    Thanks in advance

  • Utility providers, Who can explain?

    Without getting into a debate about who is responsible for overseeing price rises imposed by UK utility providers, can anyone explain why a well known water company can be told that they cannot raise their prices to a certain level but Gas and Electricity providers can increase their prices at will?

    Their excuse being that they need "to invest" in infrastructure, As a small business owner If I need to buy new equipment to improve my service I have to take the money from my profits or take out a loan, if I raise my prices to my customers they will go elsewhere. We don't have that choice as once one utility company raises their price the rest are not far behind. And our government cant see that this is classic "cartel" tactics?.... or don't they want to see?

    After 30 min I am unable to find anything titled Downloads.

    Any help would be great

  • Printing problems please help?

    Please help, whenever I try to print a document or picture I get as far as the print preview screen and as soon as I click the print button another window opens which is a folder that I have deleted from the computer, so no longer exists and I am prompted to "save as" I also have a notification window that tells me the location I am trying to save the document to is no longer available. Well I did delete it.

    I have reconfigured my printer (wireless) and at the end of the reconfiguration I was prompted to "print a test page"

    The test page printed without a problem so I am happy that the computer is connecting to the printer. Further attempts to print documents have failed as before

    It therefore appears that the "print" button is sending my documents to the wrong place.

    Any help with this problem would be thankfully received.

  • Why are prices for the same holiday vastly different?

    I am looking to book a holiday for two to the island of Zakinthos (if all go's well in the Greek elections)

    While looking through the Thomas Cook pages here on the inter web I could not help but notice that the same hotel package, down to the exact dates of arrival and departure, advertised from two relatively local airports Cardiff (1 hr) and Birmingham (2 hr) varied in price by £324.

    While I realise that different airports have different charges how can the holiday from CARDIFF Airport cost £162 more per person?

  • Do I need to reinstall windows XP and how do I do it?

    I bought my wife a refurbished laptop a while back, she only uses it for facebook and the Cafe World game within the facebook site. All worked well for about two months and then the Cafe World game started to slow things down, The game would freeze or run so slowly it was unplayable.

    I tried the usual delete cookies, temp Internet files etc, but this made no difference, I updated the flash player and still no joy, I used different browsers, FireFox worked for a while but then the problem started again. after trying several browsers with no luck I used my laptop to access her Cafe and all ran well, I then used her laptop to create my own Cafe, this not only loaded, it played well and quickly proving that everything needed for the game was installed and working on her laptop.

    I have looked in various forums and although there are lots of people with similar problems nothing seems to fix it.

    As I said at the beginning the laptop is a refurbished item and it did not come with a Windows XP Professional disk, however the XP product key is on a Windows XP Professional label/sticker on the bottom of the laptop, I have looked everywhere on her laptop to find an image of the original installed copy but I cant find it.

    Does anyone know

    A. How to fix the problem on Cafe World

    Or

    B. how to reinstall Windows XP Professional using only the product key

    Thanks in advance
