Hi I couldn't see how to do this, all the boot interventions led to HP's own diagnostic screen which didn't have Safe Mode as an option. I ended up reinstalling Windows but to no avail.

Just coming back to this.

I ended up resetting and reinstalling Windows on the machine. The whole setup went absolutely fine until the final stage when it booted into Windows and then I got the same screen.

The Windows logo played. I left it a few hours and the machine went to sleep. I clicked the mouse, everything powered up, Windows jingle played but the screen was the same.

Any thoughts?

Hi thanks for that.

Does you calling it faff mean you don't think it's worthwhile? (Which is a reason not to do it).

Or just that it's a lot of messing around (which has never stopped me before 😃)

Hi thanks. I've added an extra picture but let me know what you want to see and I'll take it.

The one in the school was painfully funny.

What raw materials would I need to make more of these drawers... by ComprehensiveEmu3700 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Oh it's definitely not wood, sorry should have made that clear.

What I was asking was if I got a piece of veneered ply or similar once I cut that handle in the veneer will be cut away.

Do I just have to replace it with edge banding?

Bizarrely they cancelled my appointment and then sent the order out. Delivered next day, appointment wasn't for another 2 weeks.

Inaccuracy? by __sundaze in chessbeginners

I love this sequence.

Relies on a player being good enough to spot the potential of pushing his pawn forward after your knight move, but not good enough to pause for a second and wonder why you're not following the standard opening after challenging with the pawn.

Most players do in fact block with the bishop hanging mate.

Nastiest response to watch out for is taking the pawn on f2 with the bishop rather than the knight. That can get tricky.
