I was outside just checking my new ggs screen protector on my K7 when the Blackbird decided to come and have a look. It was just a quick point and press really.

If you're on XP you can download the Microsoft PowerToy Image Resizer.

It integrates with the 'File' menu and the 'right click' on an image menu and has basic and advanced functions.

Scroll down to near the bottom of the page and look for ImageResizer.exe on the right hand side of the page.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if the K20D GGS screen protector will fit a Samsung GX10 or are the screens a different size / shape.

I'm struggling to find a dedicated GX10 one.

Regards, Chris.

The "your computer is running slow" scam has been around for nearly 2 years now.

It is well documented on the computer forums I am a member of.

They ask you to boot up your computer and search for certain files, which are in fact legitimate windows files and they try to tell you these are a virus/spyware/malware etc.

They then go on to say that if you pay them 'X' amount of £'s they'll clean your computer up.

I've heard that constantly pressing the hash ( # ) key on your telephone keypad messes them up but how true this is I don't know.

Regards, Chris.

Hi,

I've seen many links to websites and galleries in the forum and on signatures that just say 'Link', how do you do this please.

Regards, Chris.

How is it quick ???

:
Presumably as you don't have to download and install a program before you are able to check your shutter count.

You also don't have another hardly ever used program cluttering up your PC. I have only checked my shutter count once, when selling a camera.
Hi,

Sorry, I didn't explain very well did I, yes I meant instead of downloading PhotoMe.

I've got a fairly new W7 laptop and I only install things that I know I really want.

In what circumstances would uploading a (20Mb or so) RAW file to this website be quicker than opening the RAW file in PhotoMe?
I uploaded a jpeg.

There's also Andy Smith who is the current multi world champion, son of the late, great Stu Snr and brother of Stu Jnr.

Craig is Berts son, Bert still races but mainly in the F2's now.

Paul is Willies son.

I'm not sure how old Lundy is but I think he started racing around 1976.

Hi John,

I've always set my cameras to reset the file number every time I wipe the card.

When I'm taking on average 300 photos per stock car meeting I personally find it easier to work this way.

My Samsung GX10 shutter count according to myshuttercount.com is 17704.

My K7 is 4557 - but I didn't buy this until about 3 quarters of the way into the 2010 racing season.

Regards, Chris.
