Very helpfull

A couple of weeks ago we had our computer taken away to be reformatted, to get rid of a virus problem, after we got it back we found we had no sound.The motherboard we have on the computer is an Asus. Going through the Asus website we tried a few times to download a Sound Max program, but it would not install, it could not find the driver. Checking the forum pages it seems that this is a common problem with XP, and quite a lot of people where trying to find a solution to the same problem. One of the posts on the forum mentioned his trials of trying to get the program to work and asking for assistance, just two posts down the same person had sifted through Google and come up with a Sound Max download, he tried it and it worked. After reading this we tried the same thing and it does indeed work, we have sound. Our motherboard is a P4S800-MX. The download installs the driver with the program we found it, as he suggested on Google by typing in AD1888 zip.

Reassurance

A little reassurance goes a long way. Two weeks ago we awoke to find we had blocked toilets, this was just downstairs, upstairs was ok probably due to gravity. After deciding that the pipe outside was blocked we got a plumber in. One hour and $190 later the sewerage pipe was unblocked. The plumber informed us that it was indeed a tree root and that the amount of worm he used to unblock it meant the blockage was not only well away from our property, but well away from the neighbours as well. This could only mean that it was on council property.

Last week Hazel rang the council about another matter and while talking to the lady on the other end decided to find out where we stand if the blockage happens again (which it will do).The lady assured her that the council have a policy that they will attend to any request within 25 days. So be reassured that if you are sitting in xxxx you will only have to wait 25 days at the most.
