Tip of the day!
This probably should be on JB, but it's both fun and a computer issue, so what the hell: <a href="http://www.datadocktorn.nu/us_frag1.php" target="_blank">All you wanted to know about disk defrag!</a> (There are a number of other "tips" on this site - the "graphic card update" is neat, for instance)

That's really useful and very timely 'cos I'm just about to do the defrag routine!

SanJose - sorry for the delay - I've only just got back online! I followed the instructions to the letter, but it didn't seem to work? I've had to borrow a friend's disk to make my machine work again. I think the problem was that I used an 80W speaker and I guess it was TOO strong, and I could not find that 'SVINTOŽ' stuff here in the UK, so I used my wife's BrilloŽ pads (but very gently). I guess you have tried the procedure, so if you have any comments I would be pleased to hear them. Is it possible to go back somehow to where I was before? I have seen something called 'RESTOREŽ' in the hardware shops. Will this help?

Followed the instructions to the letter and it seems to have worked a treat except that I've got some screws and a bit of springy metal left over.
Any suggestions about what I should do with them?
Oh,and there's half a dozen or so "1"s and "0"s if anyone should be short.

Not sure about the screws, but the bit of springy metal would probably make an ideal diving board for a doll's house swimming pool. You could store your leftover 1's and 0's in a cupboard. Never know when you might need to restore your data!
