You'll probably have to have a look on the PB site to find out that. But you need to restart the computer and while windows it loading you will press F12 or some other numbers. I did it to a Dell Inspirion so I'm not sure what button you will need to press for your computer. Have a google about "Resetting (you computer model) to factory settings without cd." I can't actually remember what I did to the Dell it was a matter of pressing the right buttons to get the process started and wait.

Just re-install XP on it. You don't need the disc to reset it to factory settings. You will need to do all the automatic updates again and set up internet/wireless connections. I did it last month to my mothers laptop. It took about three or four hours to put back on programs, get the internet working and do the windows updates. It's a much better solution than to arse about with Vista.

Happy Birthday!

If only I lived in the UK.

Happy Birthday dude!

There is Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic. Everyone here has to learn Irish in school (for 11 years). Only certain areas (Gaeltachts), speak Irish the whole time. The rest of us just speak it badly or when abroad and don't want people to know what you're saying! Steve

If it's something like 3D modelling you're doing, then Google Sketchup is really easy to use and free. Steve

Here's mine. A 2008 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. I use a Marshall VS65R amp. Also have a Squire Strat (first electric) and a shitty acoustic. Steve

I'll keep it in mind lads. Not too sure whether i'd keep the Pure and go second hand for the Inspired. Postage from Ireland is 60- 70 quid for a full bike. Funds aren't great at the moment so it's going to be a while before I'll be selling/buying etc. Cheers, Steve

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the replies. Steve

Hi all, Just wondering much my bike would be worth. Thinking of getting an Inspired and wondering what my own bike would be worth. There are a couple of things changed on the bike since this picture was taken. The frame is a '04 Echo Pure and now has DDG 2.5" rise handlebars, Middleburn cranks with HSB Cloud9 bash and 18t cog, Hope pro 2 trials rear hub on 07 echo rear with sapim race spokes with 16t cog and a DaBomb tensioner. Everything else is pretty much the same. Unbranded front hub on Deep V rim, 24/7 stem, UN53 bb, Wellgo platform pedals If you need more info on parts, let me know. I would be keeping the front and rear maguras and middleburns/bash. If someone could let me know what it's worth, I'd be grateful. Cheers, Steve

Got a pair of headphones that I've wanted for a while, brothers got me a couple of sets of guitar strings and the usual clothes, socks and chocolate. Going to my aunts later where we'll have dinner and maybe open some more presents! Pretty happy to just do nothing but hang out with family and friends! Happy Christmas! Steve

I think It's an awesome idea. The disclaimer thing would be a great idea as well for the manufacturers point of view. It's a stock frame, says so at the beginning of the thread. Also, riders have to sign the dent and photographed and record it. If you're interested in testing it then I think reading the full thread would be a good idea Link to other thread Steve

Vectorworks. Steve

I reckon stock would be the best way to go. I had to make this decision myself last year and decided for stock. Takes a bit longer to learn stuff on the stock but has many advantages as others listed above, such as some parts being interchangeable with other mountain bikes etc. On he 24" scene, you can pick up a reasonable spec stock cheap enough but it's pretty hard to find a cheapish 24". Would love an Inspired or 24UK myself though! Hope I've helped a little! Steve

Who's up tonight? Been sleeping very oddly due to college work all week. Been going to bed at half 9 or ten every morning and having a can or two before bed

Anyone who's stuck, throw up the link and I'll try and help you out. I'm absolutely stumped on level 65 at the moment though. Steve

Wouldn't be inclined to leave that up for long. Personal details on a public forum

Giro Xen Not cheap, but it's strong, light and your head stays relatively cool. Steve

Level 42 hint: Hope this helps, Steve

Post up the link to level 51 and I'll try and help you. Stuck on level 65 at the moment. Steve
