 I get the message " Program cannot start because VCOMP100.Dll is missing" every time I start my computer. If I click on th OK button the panel, the message  disappears and the browser etc will start and function normally. A trawl through Google finds a number of sites offering a download to fix the problem for a fee.

I feel that there must be a simpler solution, would an expert please advise me

The lever should be on a splined shaft. Loosen the pinch bolt underneath, pull the leaver off and replace one spline further round. Retighten the pinch bolt

I have not recieved my daily newsletter since Wednesday. I tried to re- register and was informed that my Email address "is already registered".  Checks on Junk mail and Blocked sites have proved negative. Please check and if necessary re-instate me.

I got to this workshop just after 9am and was attended to immediately, 25mins and 400ThB later my system was recharged to its great improvement. I am very satisfied.

It was slightly difficult to find being on the oposite side of the road from that which I expexted. It is on the left side (East side) about 7 trees after the traffic lights at the Pollce Station when heading south on Hwy 106

Many thanks to all who replied.

I am posting this in the Chiangmai forum rather than motoring because I need local knowledge rather than technical advice.

My 8 year old car's Aircon is failing to cool adequately. Given its age it may just be low on gas. I want to try that first. My sister-in-law was ripped off by the main dealer who completely renewed the entire system for the same problem.

I need a reliable Aircon specialist in the Nong Hoy area or near Pakhoi Tai on the outer ring road.

Advice please

Chinese New Year

I cannot see what Boeing has to complain of. They do not make any airliner of a competing size.

Nobody has said who authorized this checkpoint. Why was it there, and was it legal?

On the desk in the office in Promenada Chiangmai where applications are recieved is a promenent notice stating

FREE SERVICE

But you need a Residence Certificate to get a Tabien Ban.

Many years ago I produced my Bahraini DL at a check point in Chiangmai. It was written in Arabic on one side and English on the other. The constable turned it every way round until I showed him the reverse. He could not read that either and I pointed out the Motorcycle and Car symbols on it. He almost threw it back and ordered me away.

New Requirements:  I have just been to Immigration in Promenada to get a Certificate of Residence in order to buy a car.

A new clerkess at the desk (she actually sat it the desk instead od disappearing for a long time) now required me to obtain the original TM30 form and a copy. It of course is in the bowels of the Immigration system Even the reciept in stapled into my passport was insufficient. She now needs to get my wife's ID, House Book and our Thai Marriage Certificate, All with copies. I have not on two previous ocassions needed these.

In addition, the hours for aceptance of application is now 9.00am to 11.00am

I am buying a secondhand car from a family member. I know that to transfer ownership, I wll need a proof of address for the Provinial Land Transport Office in Hang Dong. I recall a post some time ago, (about two years) informing that the PLTO acepted a Driving Licence as such proof. I cannot find this post now. bearing in mind that it may be out of date information, has any body recently used a DL in this way ? If so How recently ? I am reluctant to go to the Immigration, the last Certificate of Address I got took five weeks to process.

Thank you, and lang may your lum reek

CM airport can handle 24 flight per hour, rather than 24 flights per week 

I worked at an airport where we regularly handled 24 flights per hour. In spite of a curfew between midnight and 6am when we were reduced to 12 per hour, we regularly exceeded 300 per day

How is your mains water pressure ? In Nonghoy it can be difficult to take a shower when a large number of people are home at the weekend or at some times during the week and all using a lot of water at the same time. An expensive solution would be to put a 500l water tank above the ceiling, keep it full by pump and thus have a permanent head of water.

My neice has an HP Pavillion g series laptop. It has been upgraded successfully from W7 to W10 and has been operating well for more than one year. It stopped working and I found that the battery was absolutely flat. An overnight charge has cured that, but the WiFi will not come on. Toggling F12 has no effect although the light stays on. Going via Network and Sharing Centre I found that the WiFi was switched OFF and turned it back ON. However I must have missed a save button somewhere because, after a shut down and later start, the WiFi is  "not found" and I cannot find this ON/OFF button again. Request directions.

I have noticed that none of my Thai relatives will use any gear higher than 3rd when driving. I wince when travelling along the outer ring road at 80kph in 3rd gear. To be fair, most of them  rarely drive above 50kph.  I have often suggested that a higher ratio would be kinder to the car or pickup only to be ignored. One sister-in-law said that her car goes too fast in 4th. Is this a common practice or just confined to my family?

Many Thanks

I have never seen this one before . Where is it made, and where is it sold?

It may not be quite relevent to this topic, but I will report anyway.

My 90 day report toook 2 hours, mainly because, just ahead of me was an agent from a school who did approx 20 at one go.

However upstairs, applying for a certificate of address, the desk ( only open 9am to 11am) was unmanned from 1005 to 1045. I was processed just in time to go back downstairs just as the number two before me was called. Forbye, I have been given a collection date for the address certificate of 27 Nov, a wait of six weeks. when I protested the girl informed me that for Thb 600 I could get an agent to process it in one day. I consider this an attempt at extortion. Also the girl showed me a calendar with almost all of the final two weeks of Oct crossed off as holidays

A few years ago my renewed passport arrived at my house in Scotland by registered post at approx 1130 am. I noticed almost immediately an error in my birth date. I telephoned the help line and was refered to the Glasgow Passport Office. I was invited to visit the Glasgow office the next day, which I did, arriving at just after 10am, with, as requested, proof of birth date and new photographs. The staff were very helpful and asked me to call back atfter 3pm.

I came back at approx 3.30 and a new Passport was ready. I was so satisfied with this service that I wrote a unpublished letter to The Herald.

I think that the actual printing only takes a few minutes, although the preparation for printing will take as long as the staff want it to.

In UK, Netherlands and Norway I have always been charged as each round was served, except in central London where a bar waiter wanted me to pay in advance.

In Germany the common method is to put a beer mat down and mark it acording to your order using different symbols for different drinks.

However it is considered prudent to turn the mat over first and check that it has not already been marked on the underside.

How can you grow daffodils in Thailand. I always thouht that they need a COOL wet climate
