  1. I hope I'm describing the type of screws properly.

    I don't know what they're called in English,the Thais call them "screws to be used with metal" .They use them when working with box metal.They are brass colored with Y heads.They are not conical like wood screws.

     

    Are these better.Do even these come in good and bad quality.

     

     

     

     

  2.  was driving screws into wood the other day and the heads kept breaking off.

    I was using self drilling brass coloured screws which I think are for metal.

    I was using them with a Makita impact driver.I have been using this

    combination for years with no problems.

     

    The head would break off when the screw was "home" if I didn't stop immediately

    where as before they wouldn't.

     

    What could have happened.What screws are best to use in Thailand.I started

    using these screws when I found that  the ordinary stainless steel ones were stripping.

  3. I have Fibromyalgia and have been taking Gabapentin for

    about six months.

     

    I got really fat and went on a diet about 2 months ago.

    I haven't lost any weight,I think it's the Gabapentin.

     

    I have been reading forums about this problem.

    Some say change to Cymbalta as it doesn't cause

    weight gain.

     

    I am also taking Amitripiline and Tramadol.

     

    My main question is can is Cymbalta sold in Thailand

    and how much does it cost but I am open to any other advice

    on different medicines that I could replace it with..

  4. Is there a limit to how much physical RAM  on  that can be installed on my machine.

    What is the minimum extra I need on top of my existing 2GB.

    How much does it cost.

    And is there a big difference in speed when rapid mode is activated.

     

  5. My SSD software says "available RAM is less than the minimum memory required(2GB).Rapid mode can not be

    enabled.

     

    In my SYSTEM  it says "installed RAM 2GB-!.83 useable.

    I have changed the virtual to max 4000mb and 8000mb min.

     

    What do you think of this video.

     

    Also why can't I get Classic Shell to install without activating my new settings.

                                                                

  6.  I had a Samsung  SSD put into my Netbook.

    Than I downloaded the Samsung software to  optimize

    the SSD's performance,

    It told me that my computer didn't have enough RAM for

    what they called "rapid mode".

     

    I know of three ways to increase RAM.The first is have it installed

    by a professional.The second is increasing virtual RAM in SYSTEM,

    which I think I've all ready done.And the third way is in this video.

     

    My problem with this method is that when he says to open windows

    memory diagnostic I find that I have deleted it from my classic shell

    start menu.

    I have tried uninstalling classic shall but it still  has the same settings when

    I reinstall it.

     

    I know that I haven''t given all the information you need to tell me what to do

    so please ask but what is the easiest way out of this problem.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    and the third is

     

     

  7. I forgot to mention that I live high in the mountains and don't get over heating in the room I use it in.Also the base of the machine is on a stand,propped up at an angle so it isn't in full contact with the table.

     

    I think I am going to use either sleep or hibernate.I will use sleep

    if I can get away with it.

     

    So is there any advantage in using hibernation over sleep

    regarding the life of the netbook.

     

    I know hibernate uses less power and saves your work better than sleep but I'm not interested in that.

  8. My last netbook died prematurely because I left it on all

    day and turned it off every night,The guy in the shop said it

    was from running it hot and I blew the motherboard.

     

    So I bought a new netbook and got an SSD put into it and am

    now going to set either sleep or hibernate to stop it running all day.

    I couldn't do that in the last netbook because it had a dodgy copy of windows.

     

    I found some videos on YouTube about whether to use sleep or

    hibernate but none had an SSD in a fan-less netbook.

     

    So my question is,when I turn on my machine in the late morning

    and come and go from it all day,do I need to put it into hibernate

    or just to sleep when it senses I'm idle.

     

    I'm not so worried about loosing data,I just don't want to age my motherboard prematurely.

  9. I have been looking at YouTube videos on how to increase your internet speed.I have all ready changed my DNS to an open DNS.

     

    Then there are some videos which tell me to open the "local group policy editor" by typing "gpedit.msc" in to the run box and press O.k.

    But it doesn't work so I can't get past this stage.

     

    I have the latest Windows 10 genuine copy with all the updates.

     

    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or another way to open

    the "local group policy editor"

     

  10. I want to split an audio book into one minute sections.

    Then I delete the sections that I don't want to hear again.

     

    I see that Audacity lets you split mp3's into songs but can it do

    one minute sections.

  11. I have been using Lossless Mp3 Cutter for years now.

    I'm not that impressed with it even though I have the paid version.

     

    So I just got a new computer and have problems getting it up and running

    and have problems contacting their customer support.

     

    So I thought that maybe there is a better program for splitting Mp3's.

    I don't want to do anything except split audio books,no mixing no editing.

    Can anyone recommend one.

     

     

     

  12. I want one of those paint stirrers.

    I will look on ebay.

     

    What about the idea about putting it into a petrol container and shaking it.Would that cause lots of air bubbles.

  13. I've gone through 2 large 4 liter tins of deck stain and no matter how much I stir it or how much thinner I use it all ways gets dark and dull at the last one third of the tin.

    Too much to just through it away.

     

    I was thinking of what I might do before I ope another tin.

    Maybe get a bigger container,like a petrol container,funnel it into that and shake it every time before I use it.

     

    Will that work or is there a better way or an old trick of the trade that might save me some time and effort.

  14. Yes it is one of those which locks open after

    90 degrees.

     

    If they are supposes to make a click is there any way to reduce my sharp cracking sound to a gentle click.

     

    I've tried machine oil but it didn't do any good.

  15. A small but annoying problem.

     

    I fitted a door closer on my back door.

    It works fine if you just open it quarter ways and let it swing back.

     

    But if you open it to 90 degrees and close it it makes a cracking sound.

    Just one sharp crack but it's annoying.

     

    I've tried moving the little foot that  attaches to the door up and down

    but it doesn't work.

     

    Does anybody know how to stop it cracking.

  16. The nail varnish remover is working well.

     

    I must be careful with all the different with all the different

    types all surfaces.

    The paint is on Fiberglass,metal,chrome and the vinayl

    seat.

     

    If all else fails I will go to the Spray shop.

     

    Thanks for the help,guys.
