I’ve used Domaincheck, aka Zebra Electronics Limited (company number 03033478) for many years. They’ve hosted my various domains, e-mails and websites, along with those of my clients when I was in business. I continued to use them after I retired in 2013. Nick Collins set it all up over twenty years ago and I got […]

I’ve had a D-Link DAP-1522 Wireless Access Point configured in Bridge Mode for some years now. Today I needed to reconfigure it for my new broadband service…easy I thought. Erm…no…not so easy. It should have been, because I hadn’t kept notes on what to do…but I spent some time figuring it out, yet again. These […]

This recently became a problem with a friend’s computer; he runs Windows 10 with Office 2010.  When trying to print certain documents, this error would pop up; he has plenty of memory and disk space. There were three things done in […]

Some time ago now, Microsoft turned off the on-line activation service for Windows XP; after all, it is obsolete and well past ‘end of life’.  There are however, still some people running it on legacy machines to support older software…and of course for historical reasons.  If you ever have to reinstall it, you will still […]

My quandary… I’ve been saving various documents, magazines and other publications, mainly PDFs, to iBooks on both my iPad and iPhone over the years.  This is fine if you want to read them on the device or backup and restore to a new device. But what if you want to get rid of your iPad […]
