  1. PC Hard drive always running

    LOL I would more likely say it is Microsoft accessing our computers to check that we have registered software! Big Brother is Watching and his name is Bill!!...LOL SC
  2. PC Hard drive always running

    It has nothing to do with the power monitors! It does not come up on the task manager. I have no viruses or spies on this computer it is well covered. Can you believe it, it isn't doing it today!!!!!!! I hate computers! SC
  3. PC Hard drive always running

    I'm running XP pro with service pack 3 and have loads of free disk space and 2G of RAM. SC
  4. PC Hard drive always running

    My home PC hard drive is always running and the light is on always flickering away as if it is doing something. I have knocked everything off so the basics are just running but it still is doing something!!! I need help as I have searched all over the internet and all the suggestions don't work...
  5. Who is responsible for pulling a sign permit

    I don't agree. The customer has no idea how much time is spent just with the planning department unless they do it themselves! The last job I sorted planning out with (over 8 years ago) the council added an extra 14 hours on the job and the customer couldn't understand why it was taking so long...
  6. Who is responsible for pulling a sign permit

    I will fit signs anywhere!!! I know it sounds iresponsible but you cannot blame the monkey for the organ grinders ignorrance. You have to have planning permission for everything here. Sadly it make take months to confirm permission by the local councils!!! I live near the lake district in the UK...
  7. Who is responsible for pulling a sign permit

    I don't know how the planning permissions for signs work in the US work but here in the UK but it is the biggest time wasting PITA. I state to customers that any planning permission for their signs etc. has to be applied for by the customer. If there are any problems later it is theirs as I will...
  8. Mutoh SC1400D registration mark problem

    We have come up with a problem on a sunny day when the light shines through the window. Even though the machine is not in direct sunlight and the other end of the room from the windows. It doesn't read the registration marks properly and won't cut! Has anyone come across this problem? I need a...
  9. New computers/upgrade

    I don't want to spend hours, days, months even years going through specs. only to find what I have decided on is rubbish. Believe me I have done that before and ended up making a real bad choice. What I want is someone to say this pile of hardware put together properly will out perform and maybe...
  10. New computers/upgrade

    I am going to have to replace our 3 PCs. As everyone is moaning about how slow and how often the programme crashes. Our RIP PC is the only one not to be upgraded as all it runs is the RIP and is more than up to the job. I am able to build my own computers so this will make it cheaper. They are...
  11. VJ1304 Ink Cartridges / Smart Cards

    You will hate this! The bigger machines have a sub tank with a 100ml in them and I run all my cartridges empty. I guess there just wasn't enough space to fit the sub tanks in the smaller machine. That makes the smaller machine more expensive to run!! SC
  12. Problems working with illustrator!!!!

    I work mainly with corel and signlab and have done for years now. I have a job sent to me by a customer but am having a nightmare dismantling the logos from other parts of the artwork. When you group round objects if you touch a nearby object it groups that object also. This is so time consuming...
  13. Big Banner Suggestions...

    Banners are a temporary sign so I think for 4 years this has way outlasted its design life. The poles are not adequate for this job as it looks like the tension of the banner and the wind is pulling them over. I like the idea of msenjur with his strengthening of the wind slits and tension it...
  14. You couldn't pay me enough!

    I don't worry about heights anymore as I found out it was the ground that would kill you not the height!!!! LOL SC
  15. Dirtbike/Motocross Templates

    You can't make templates that fit good from scratch! We find when creating a set that tracing it and digitising on a digitising tablet is the best way to go. You will probably cut 2 or 3 sets in vinyl to adjust them up to make them fit properly. SC
  16. Favorite Quote from a Customer Today

    Today a local Clothes Shop wanted some new internal signs Customer:- Can you make me some signs with various wording with this letter style? Hands me a flyer... Me:- No problem. What is the letterstyle called? Customer:- Oh it's not a letterstyle my friend created it for us. Me:-...
