Hi Jon
As a reply to the Question about Windows 98SE. It is not possible to remove
Windows Media Player as its functions control audio in Windows. The are some
programs availible on the internet that get rid of the actuall program files
and leave underlying controls but that would not really change anything.

Hi Jon,
I have 2 questions to ask you and your listeners.1. why do manufacturers make head cleaners for cassette players,when technicians say they are bad to use,because they scratch and wear the heads away,also why do manufactures make lens cleaners for cd and dvd players ,when the technicians say they scratch the lazer? How do I get smoke stains off painted walls?

Hi Jon,
Just thought I'd ask you to ask your many expert computer listeners out there if they could help me please.
I have just installed Win98SE on my computer.
As a part of the installation, Windows Media Player (version 6.01) is installed.
I now want to uninstall it, but I can't find it in the Add/Remove Program Properties Install/Uninstall list.
I can only think that WMP is a part of the Windows Components (Windows Setup tab). If so, EXACTLY which component do I uninstall?
Many thanks to you and and your listeners...
Regards Simon

H i Jon, this is the recipe for Colleen re Arthritis .
Mix equal parts of :
carb soda
epsom salts
ground ginger
tartaric acid.
Put together in a jar, getting rid of any lumps. Every morning, first thing,
ie before your morning cuppa or breakfast. - put a little bit of the
mixture - enough to cover a 5c piece in a glass, withv some warm water and
drink. Apparently it could be some weeks before you notice any difference.
Take care

HOUSEHOLD RECIPES
GLASS FILM REMOVER
1 cup household bleach
1 cup white vinegar
Fill dishwasher with all your dirty dishes. DO NOT put any silver, aluminum
or brass in the washer with this method. Put a bowl in the bottom of the
dishwasher. Pour household bleach into the bowl. Run through the washing
cycle, but do not dry. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Fill bowl again with white vinegar
and let the dishwasher go through the entire cycle. This will remove all
film not only from your glasses, but from your dishwasher, too.
WINDOW CLEANER (blue)
3 tablespoons ammonia
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3/4 cup water
2 drops blue food coloring
And for the fisherman
SWEET FISH BAIT
Mix 1 cup flour, 1 cup cornmeal and 10 tablespoons of thick molasses. Mix
into stiff dough and roll into bait balls. Drop into boiling water. Boil 10
minutes. Remove and drop into cold water.
SALTY FISH BAIT
Bring a pint of sweet milk to a boil. Add 3 tablespoons salt. Heat until
milk starts to foam, and add enough cornmeal until the mixture is thick and
tough enough to stay on the hook. You can add bits of cotton to hold it
together.
Pest control
COCKROACH CONTROL
4 parts borax
2 parts flour
1 part cocoa powder
Mix; sprinkle where pets and children cannot get to it.
ANT CONTROL
3 cups water
4 teaspoons boric acid
2 cups granulated sugar
Mix, then pour half a cup of the mixture into three or four empty jam jars
wrapped with masking tape and loosely packed half full with absorbent
cotton. Smear the bait along the outside of the jar and set along ant trail.
The ants will swarm into the jar. Some will carry the mixture back to the
colony, where it will kill other ants.
CAUTION: If you have small children or pets, screw the lids onto the jars,
poke several small holes through the lid and smear some of the bait on the
inside of the jar.
Kind regards Graham
Hello Jon.
There are people who are partly or fully housebound out there . Is there a site where one could contact another with simular interests and email each other ? Or is it to difficult or risky to make ones email no, public.? Janet.

"Elizabeth, when your computer 'freezes', if it is a Macintosh you hold down Command and Option and Escape together. You are then given the option to quit the program or link that's causing the problem. It will then suggest you start up the computer again (a good idea to do so).
Not so sure how it works on PC's . As last resort, turn off power and reboot.

Thanks for a great programme and good company after midnight! Warm regards, Noella
Breakfast for Ants
I would never have believed this one had I not seen it myself! We had a bunch of ants gathered at the edge of our sidewalk garage area, and a friend suggested getting rid of them by feeding them oatmeal. They'd eat it, the oatmeal would expand, and they'd die. This way there would be no smell or chemicals around for children or pets. So, my 4-year-old daughter and I poured oatmeal on the ground for them. Yep, next morning, nearly every ant was dead. Who'd have thought? Ellen
Kaye, try the photo shop on the corner of Albany Highway and King George street in Vic Park I'm sure he can help you but I have no idea of the cost

Hi Jon,
I hope you don't mind me emailing you with a question/problem but I just
had a thought, and seeing that I am listening to you while I am working on
our computer parts/peripherals catalogue to be put up on our web page, I
thought, I might put the following question to you and then if you don't
know the answer, I was wondering if you may be able to put the question to
your other listeners who may be able to point me in the right direction.
I have had and still got (hopefully the moths haven't got to them and/or
they haven't deteriorated just by sitting there in a box) some home movies
that were done years ago before my parents passed away and I lost contact
with the rest of my family due to greed on their part with regards to my
parents will (that's a long and very traumatic story).
What I was hoping to get advice on, is, I would like to get the home movies
which are on "Super 8" film and get them put onto a few video cassettes or
even better on cd.
I was wondering if you or your kind listeners would know of anyone in the
Perth metro area who could do this for me at a reasonable price. I can't
afford to pay too much as I am on the Disability Support Pension. I would
have to find out the price and then save the money up.
The only other way that I can think of to view some pictures of my late
parents is to try and buy a secondhand movie projector (if you can still
buy them) like the one that my so-called brothers stole from me. So as you
can tell, I have the movies but no way to view them.
I would dearly love to view the movies as I don't have any other pictures
of my parents, thanks to my so-called brothers stealing the suitcase of
photo's that I had.
Hope you can help me. :)
Regards,
Kaye.

Hi Annette, Marks on walls and cupboard doors etc should come off with just Spray 'N' Wipe, used on a sponge. You could also try a very small amount of washing up liquid on a sponge, if you don't want too much smell for pantry doors, and then rinse sponge and wipe over again. Don't use too much, as it takes ages to rinse out.

Hi Terry, If you are talking about deleting things from your 'Favourites' folder, than the easiest way I know, is this. RIGHT click on your mouse button, and select DELETE from the menu panel that comes up. When you click on that, another panel will come up asking if you're sure you want to delete it, and just click the 'OK.' It will then remove it to your recycle bin. If you find you have made a mistake, then you can put it back by clicking the RESTORE in your bin area. I don't know if Dave B was answering you on this, but I've never heard of that way. It seems quicker the other way. Hope this answers your question.
Jackie
Terry, Right click (right mouse button) on the bookmark or folder you don't want, and choose delete. Dave

Hi Barbara,
Your question about recoating your frypan with Teflon.
As far as I know, you could buy aerosols of Teflon to repair non-stick pans with. Local hardware shops should be able to help with this.
Hope you find some - let's know, on this site.
Jackie
Teflon Coating can be done at Slipcoat in Morley Ph No 93751765 I Haven`t tried it yet but believe it is good
Colleen
Please recommend where I can get the Teflon recoated on my frying pan.

Hi Don
How your computer turns itself on?
Have a look at your computer CMOS settings, there are some options about your computer power.
Changing the CMOS settings is not everyone's job. So please be careful.
