When viewing a PM, I have zero problem, but when replying, the screen layout changes slightly and the "Sponsors List" overlaps the "message field" and the last 15-20% of your typed message is covered: -

Any advice on how to overcome this?

With one finger on the Ctrl button, move your mouse wheel to zoom out a bit.

Seriously, you need to change your screen resolution to the next setting then.

Uninstall the last thing you installed and try again or try a system restore.

Thanks Buksi

Was going to do that today but overnight it woke up! Perhaps machines do feel lonely when not used and simply hibernate :laugh:

Bluetooth

Post by richard »

Got Bluetooth on my mobiles but not on my PC. I've never really got into how to use it. Feel a right melon sometimes when a BG shows me how to BT from her mobile to mine

Got given a present from a mate in the UK who works for Plantronics. A voyager PRO HD Bluetooth headset which I would love to use for listening to music on my PC

Now many of you know I now know FA about modern technology so advice please, in layman dumbo words, how do I install Bluetooth on my Win7 PC?

You need to buy a USB Bluetooth adaptor for a desktop PC - Win7 has the software built in.

They have them in the IT market opposite Collanade mall. Couple of hundred baht if I remember correctly.

Once you plug it in you'll see a bluetooth icon appear (and yes, it's blue!) in your system tray. right click it and choose "search for devices" (or something similar), then follow the on screen instruction.
