Computers & Internet - 14 October 2007

Whilst changing hardware i have stupidly broke two twist clips for a P4 socket 775 heatsink. These are the plastic type and are pritty popular. If anyone doesnt know what i mean have a look at this product:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/105994/show_product_gallery

If you click the 3rd picture in you can see the clips that attatch the heatsink to the motherboard.

Anyway instead of investing in a new heatsink i want to replace the clips (which are standard sizes) so does anyone know where i can purchase these online.... I cant find them anywhere and surely i cant be the only person in the world to do this.

BORING PART ---- Please no idiots telling me to contact the manufacturer iv explored this avenue and the manufacturer cant get back to me for another 3 weeks. I want to buy these clips so no ideas on any other methods of attatching the heatsink to the board. If your going to answer then i simply want a website that is based in the UK that sells these, no other advice. Thanks!

my boyfriend was looking at some things on the pc yesterday...something pops up tellling him he needs to install something to watch what he was watching... anyways, all it did was install a homepage hijacker, and along with it came a few things in the add/remove programs list. I was able to successfully remove a couple of them but there are still two left (IE Custom Tools, IE Safety Features), when i click to remove either of those it says a system reboot is required before removing, so I reboot, and go back to it...does the same thing again. This is driving me nuts, can anyone suggest what i do (for free).

thanks in advance

AUSTRALIA - Copyright Questions!!
Question Details: I have taped many "home movies" inside my church over the past four years... and I'd like to make mini-movies out of them to sell in the church as a fundraiser... what issues am I dealing with??

Do I need to have absolutely every single persons approval to use their image on my movies?? Am I allowed to show our band playing songs that we sing that aren't written by us? (I know we can use our own homegrown songs)

What other things might I need to consider? I don't want to break any laws!

Reminder - I'm in Australia...

HELP PLEASE!!

okay, I got a HP Officejet 5610 All-In-One. I got 3 laptops. The 1 laptop is already out of the game park. Were not going to use this laptop for the printer.
We got 2 more laptops.
#1 and #2. #1 is mine, and #2 is like a sharing laptop for the whole family.
We both wanna go wireless, but #2, cant go wireless as much, so it might stay where it is, on the desk.I have the printer hooked up on #1. I want to share this printer with the 2 other computers. The owner of #1(me) wants to scan pictures and put it on my laptop. I really want this all-in-one on #2, but How would I scan pictures and documents and still get them to my computer without #1?? I heard of this software, but I never downloaded it. I don't think it is possible, but some way may be possible.
Anyone got any advice?
Thanks

On www.accesstogo.com there are two differnt versions of the same database, educational and full. The educational version is half the price of the full version.

What is the difference?
Is it still open source code?
What are the pros and cons of getting the educational version as opposed to the full version? - why would someone want to pay twice for the same thing?

I've been using wireless on my BT Home Hub all of this year until a few days ago it stopped working. I have already asked a question on this but I was blaming my Wii for some reason which wasn't the case.

It was working fine a few times using the standard Windows Connection Manager but now it can't find the Hub. Its all plugged in, I'm typing this from an ethernet-connected computer, the wireless light is solid green, I've power cycled, done the "hold down button at back until it clicks", unplugged it everything, and it won't find my wireless.

Help plz :D
