    Lol don't tell me that.. It seems to have disappeared after a restore, Mcafee or ESET didn't pick anything up again.. And everything is working as it should be, for the moment!
    Cheers for the responses!

    I use this website for getting hold of live concerts of my favourite band.

    They have the option to download them by pressing the button with the red square around it -

    Unfortunately, if the title of the file is particularly long the download button gets pushed off the side as shown here -

    When this happens does anyone have any idea how I can get access to that button?

    It doesn't seem to matter if I use my 17 inch monitor at home or my 19 inch one at work - I was just hoping there was some way I could get access to that central frame on its own.

    I find I have the same issue using a larger browser font size instead of default. Maybe try setting it to a smaller maximum size and see if that helps?

    Nevermind, I've just found I can do it by clicking to the left of the button and then pressing tab to move the cursor over.

    You could also try changing the font sizes on your browser. Hold down the CTRL key and roll the mouse wheel.

    the SATA cables periodically come loose from my hard drives when I'm using my computer, causing a blue screen. Will applying an adhesive to them like rubber cement solve the problem?

    You may be better off using cable ties.

    what i meant was that the cables periodically become unplugged, causing a BSOD. How would cable ties remedy this?

    Well you could use the cable ties to:

    1: Secure the ties to the chassis of your computer, prevent some movement of them; and
    2: Bind the end of the SATA cable to your hard drive, also preventing the cable from slipping.

    Glue is a terrible idea for keeping connectors in place if you want any hope of unplugging things without destroying something. Cable ties are cheap.

    Last night I put some folders containing music files from my home laptop onto a USB stick to transfer onto my work PC which is something I've done dozens of times before. At work this morning I checked the USB stick only to find nothing on it. I'm now home and have checked the stick on my PC and the folders are there. Am I missing something obvious that would make them only visible on my home PC?
