Problems connecting and external monitor

I picked up a Dell 2209WA on my recent trip back home which I'm now trying to connect to my laptop, but it (or rather the computer) is refusing to collaborate. The monitor can detect no signal coming from the computer even though I have it connected with a VGA cable and a USB. When I connect the ...

Problems connecting and external monitor

Once again, thanks everyone for their suggestions. The latest is I have the resolution sorted out on both screens but only if I use one at a time not in Dualview (ie. two independently set monitors). If I attempt Dualview (either through my Nvidia control panel or Vista) it automatically resizes ...

Problems connecting and external monitor

Out of interest, can anyone who reads this: a. compare the Photofriday and PUF charts on their monitors and report back; b. tell me what they can see in the shot here: . On my Dell, the image is very dark outside the central area and blocking up in the BLC in particular where the smaller post ex...

Parcelforce - employing shot-putters to deliver!!??

Best one I heard: My Dad managed to drop a holdall containing his then-new K2 down one of the steep bits of the Brecon Beacons. He still has the slides taken immediately after looking back up the mountainside to where it fell from! It still works now, and has only a dent in the baseplate to show ...

Parcelforce - employing shot-putters to deliver!!??

Had a bad experience with ParcelForce sometime early last year (same thing, package being dropped at waist level), although they have since then managed to win me back. I think it depends on the delivery guy. They may have hired better drivers in my area since then. LoL @ smeggypants pic.

Good European Cities for Photo's!

I'll back up Vic with Vienna. One tip there if you are visiting out of season: book a limo from the airport (not much dearer than a taxi). The hotel doorman reports your arrival to reception and you often get an upgrade ! We had a small suite last February from a standard reservation :D:D And be sur...

Good European Cities for Photo's!

I've visited Vienna Once on a touring holiday and 4 times for work back in the day. On my first trip they were building the new underground railway. They had the main road through the centre of town dug up and they laid the track on a base and covered it up with concrete arches. They were digging an...

Finalla a FF your shooting buddies wished they had!

Back in 73. 74. 75. in communist Czechoslovakia the Trebant was known as either an ash tray for a Cadillac or as the Plastic Cadillac. The biggest car then available was the Tatra. (Not the Indian Tata) THE TATRA. It had a flat 4 air cooled engine at the back 2 litre and it couldn't pull the skin of...

Just watching the NEW's - I hope that all members are OK

Are you referring to Australia, or did I miss something? We have friends over in Queensland who were flooded a couple of weeks back. They are actually staying in Mexico at the moment and neighbours moved their stuff. Now for the same areas to be hit with this cyclone...what next?

Just watching the NEW's - I hope that all members are OK

A close friend of mine that used to be my neighbour before to oz now lives in Cairns. Not heard from him today or yesterday so I hope Cairns got off lightly :( He was probably evacuated to one of the evac centres, power was cut off to the city last night before the storm hit and I would doubt it ha...

Just watching the NEW's - I hope that all members are OK

Heard from both of my friends now. The one in Australia was away from the danger area anyway, they went on a 10 day tour of Sydney and the Blue Mountains. The one who was going on a Nile cruise has been moved to a hotel on the outskirts of Cairo but is still waiting for the tour operator to fly t...

Flickr mistake

Well Flikr must back up their systems! But do they back up the user content? or is it that its uneconomic to restore one user's images?

Flickr mistake

I have multiple copies and back-ups of all my images that are on Flickr but the amount of work that restoring 1,342 images would take along with the groups, key words, descriptions, titles.... ARRGGHHH... It seems utterly astonishing to me that there isn't a back-up that can be restored. K.

Hello from Norway!

Welcome to Norway, Gwyn. I am stuck in the Eastern part of Norway, just south of Oslo. We did have a daytrip with Hurtigruten a couple of years back, from Ålesund to Geiranger and back - lovely trip. Hope you'll have some nice weather on your trip, and not too cold.
