I installed Server 2003 R2 64bit yesterday, all went well until I needed to go online. No driver! With Vista and Seven, the OS uses a generic driver in order to make the LAN work instantly. Not poor old 2003. So today, I have downloaded the latest drivers from Gigabyte and burnt them to a CD as, with no floppy drive these days and USB needing drivers................
I also changed the RF channel on the relay for the sat to the bedroom, channel two works well so that may well be where I leave it. Woke up to BBC1 London this morning and no bangs or whistles.
Pete and I had a bit of luck yesterday, we each went looking for a cable adaptor to convert a nine pin mini din to a standard s video input and struck gold. A Hong Kong firm is selling a 9 pin to S video/composite/component lead for less than a pound and doing cheap postage as well. To give you an idea, we bought four and the total price, goods and carriage, was less than a fiver. I just hope they don't get lost in the postal strike.
