Zune80 battery replacement in the UK? [Zune80 battery replacement in the UK?]

Michael John Kearney — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:47:25 GMT

Does anybody know any UK sites that may stock Zune80 batteries. After some heavy usage (car, work, gym) my device is failing to hold a good charge. I imagine Ebay to be my only option here.

Thanks.

RE: Registry | COM | Port Settings? [RE: Registry | COM | Port Settings?]

When you go into "Device Manager \ PORTS (COMM & LPT) \ 'hardware'(COM#)" and access the 'Port Setting' - B/S, Parity, Bit Rate etc.

Where about in the registry are the keys for the 'Port Settings' made?

Am I looking in the wrong place, the setting are written to system files?

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\'hardwarefolder'" gives me four folders with relevent information but no such place for 'Port Settings'. I cannot gain access to the 'Properties' folder.

Thanks

Mike

Ive seen the trendy Dell adverts showing 'you' choice of coloured laptops "to suit you" on UK tv. I just came across these Mike Ming designs (very nice) along with Studio Hybrid collection, very trendy (almost life changing).

Aesthetically pleasing indeed!

So is this an attempt to target potential Apple customers looking for style (ignoring substance) and contributing to Microsoft's latest campaign?

EDIT: there = their

...what happens behind the scenes when using your average Windows OS. A piece of software crashes/sticks/pauses. You opt for the Task Manager to 'End Task', then said software remerges from hibernation?

Out of interest.

Intrusive Roll-over Flash Ads [Intrusive Roll-over Flash Ads]

Michael John Kearney — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:05:08 GMT

I notice this a lot with my hotmail account where at the top is Flash advert that I accidentally roll-over and maximize to full screen, thus getting in the way of what im doing.

It’s come to my attention once more as I log into Live Messenger, browse my emails in the 'Windows Live Today' window. There is a Volkswagen advert at full pelt covering the screen by default then minimizing to its designated spot.

Surely this kind of advertising could be deemed intrusive and of bad taste. Could we see legislation catch up with modern day advertising standards and ban these methods?

Thanks

Windows Sidebar query [Windows Sidebar query]

I wanted to position my gadets anywhere on my desktop so I got rid of the dock itself. Now on every reboot my 'free' gadgets seem to straft left (a little)...annoying.

Anybody else experiencing this slight problem?

Thanks

Whats the use in IE7 crashing with all my tabs open (usually due to Flash Player error), closing. Then reopening for my convenience; a blank browser with zero saved tabs.

Have I missed something, is there a setting for some kind of auto-recovery?
