I have installed adobe flash player v 10 and when I go on one site it says I need to install it. :conf: It is puzzling me. I think it is working now but I am curious thats all.

Do this ^ but before you run it UPDATE it.
Let it remove anything it wants and copy and paste the report in here and i'll take a look at it for you.(or PM me the report if you don't want to show one and all.)

:rolleyes:

Start > Control Panel > Appearance and personalization > Adjust the screen resolution.

Tell me what is says, mine is 1600 x 900, for example.

1680 x 945

:D

Well you can easily find stuff for that resolution on google images.
For example if you want a picture of gaga that size then you would go on google images, and it says on the side, exact size, so you type your resolution in there and every result will be the exact size.

Like this for example.

Ahh I didn't know about the exact size thingy,

Thanks :D

Go back to the R4i site and make sure you have downloaded the latest correct version of the software for your R4, there are several available, install it onto the r4 then try your micros sd card again.

It is important you identify the correct card you have first, then the latest upgrade for that card. There was a problem with one of the larger uk based r4 sites just after christmas this year they had the wrong software under the various links.

Reformat your SD card.

Good luck.

Some sites use software that will misidentify the latest software, until they upgrade themselves. They can sometimes inform people that the software they have isnt the latest and needs updating because they dont recognise the upgrade.

In other cases you may find that the flashplayer software on a computer can be reset back to a previous earlier version.

Bumping again, just so it doesn't disappear into a Black Hole!:joker::wavey:

:love:

I'm pretty sure I have the most recent firmware on it but it I can't even get the the computer to read the micro sd card anymore so I can't reformat it or delete whats on it already :/

I'll try and be stupid and come up with some problems :)

Will that be something new??? :devil::joker:

I've heard that a magnet will wipe cards "clean" never tried it myself, and they might be totally unusable afterwards! :devil:

Stoopid Questions
 

At the risk of sounding stupid, 2 questions: does sending/receiving files via Yahoo Messenger (or any other messenger) and receiving/sending large files via email affect your bandwidth usage? :blush:

really? worth a shot anyway! and It's pretty much usless as is so it doesn't matter!

I doubt it does tbh.
I don't really worry about bandwith since I have 30MB broadband. :laugh:

I have 80GB, but I DO worry! lol:joker:

If it does work it'll defo need to be formatted again! :joker::joker:

Naw you shouldn't worry about it. :joker:

how do you know what your bandwidth is?

At least with TalkTalk you can open up your account and see exactly what you have used on a daily basis!:elephant:

Actually talking about Broadband USAGE, You should be able to find out from your ISP how much you are allowed per month, it can be as little as 20GB or up to unlimited. the more you get the more it costs!

maybe I should ask something a little simpler, what's bandwidth :blush:

I'm sure Jessica can do that more eloquently than I!

Mine is unlimited I should have said, it costs the same every month with TV and Phone in a package. :)

Yeah I could get unlimited from TalkTalk for another Fiver a month!:hugesmile:

It's actually really difficult to explain. D:

D:

I suppose there are two things which cause confusion, one is the Speed that you get from your ISP usually laughingly described as UP TO 20 mb (actually more like 8 mb) and the other is the amount that you are permitted to download/upload per month without incurring penalties. Jessica has unlimited DOWNLOAD capability, whereas I have an 80 GB limit.

Simply put (maybe too simplistic for purists) every time you watch or download a video, e.g from YouTube, you are using Bandwith, measured in Mbs or Gbs - if you watch or download a lot you are using a lot of bandwidth.

Ahh ok, well idk what mine is, it can't be that low though, because im downloading stuff nearly every day :laugh:

What ISP do you use?

Some of them have a "fair Usage" policy which can be quite forgiving!

:L

:shrug:

The answer is yes.

What exactly do you mean by bandwidth? Do you actually mean monthly limitations imposed by your ISP? Thats not really bandwidth but yes transferring files to and from your computer either through a messenger program or through a downloading program like torrents or a download manager will all count towards your monthly limitations

If you actually mean Bandwidth proper, that is the rate that data can transfer to and from your computer, again yes if you are using all your bandwidth (data transfer speed) to upload or download files via a file transfer protocol etc then using a messenger or any other program that acesses the internet may reduce the maximum speed you transfer information.

In other words the more programs you have accessing the internet at any one time the less bandwidth you will have available for file transfers.

I meant, of course, the amount of my Broadband ALLOWANCE, the question is, does sending'receiving files via Messenger impinge on my allowance?

Terms like "Bandwidth" are bandied about as if we all knew what they mean, but usually we only have the vaguest idea what we/they mean:hugesmile:

Anything uploaded and downloaded through your isp counts towards the allocated monthly allowance.

Even if you try using a hide ip etc, it still gets clocked and counted. Your router/modem has firmware on it, that counts how many bites of information goes either way, when you connect to the internet you go through a server where information packets are counted.

If the various counts are different your ISP will probably go with the highest. I know that is what TalkTalk do, from personal experience.

There is very little you can do to get round it. The best advice is to screw them just a little each month, go slightly over your 80gig limit and they wont bother. Go over by about 8-9 gig for a couple of months and generally speaking they will send out an nice email/letter about fair usage.

Hehehe! thanks, wasn't considering screwing them, and not trying proxies or whatever, but going over by roughly 10% can't be bad! :devil:

10% every once in a while is okay, make it 3 months in a row and TalkTalk send you a nice letter.

Using a proxy is a waste of time, you still have to connect through your router and ISP server. so data flow is monitored.

If you wanted to get round the monitoring and get caught it will invalidate your contract, plus your line details go onto a blacklist circulated between ISP's.
