Greg,

I have not yet loaded IE7 so I cannot be 100% sure myself - I will download it next week and see what happens. Thanks for the feedback and the CD's from the other day.

Hi Greg ,
I remember you gave me lots of help with my GPS and now I have loaded Ozexplorer etc on a laptop . Can you tell me the best way to power this in the car please . ie Can I leave an inverter on all day in the car , or is this a big drain on the battery .
Thanks a lot ,
Willie .

Hello Willie - probably should start a new thread as Dave may get annoyed (doesn't pay to get on the wrong side of the "boss" under any circumstance) - anyway will take a chance since I'm here. Probably been discussed before so do a forum search for more expert opinion....If you already have an inverter then I see no issue with running it while driving to power laptop as car power system will keep up no worries. While it can be argued that it is inefficient (power lost as heat through conversion process) it is of no significance in this case. May be a different story if you were parked up for a day or two but same applies to anything drawing off batteries (ie be prepared). There are DC auto adapters for laptops (converts ~ 12V to 15 to 24V which is what they require not 240V) more efficient energy wise but if you already have an inverter not worth cost. There is apparently an issue with type of inverter though - make sure the one you use outputs "pure sine wave" as opposed to "modified sine wave"...but I have read conflicting reports (ie dont matter) - if in doubt use pure.

Cheers
Greg

Thanks Greg . Why do they make computers 16 volt instead of 12 volt - bloody frustrating . I already have the correct kind of inverter , I had just hoped to somehow wire the puter straight into the system . But it is not to be .
Cheers ,
Willie .

Willie - It is possible to run laptops direct from car battery (ie~12V) despite them having rating of higher volts - some issue with battery on laptops not charging in some circumstances due to lower volts? Not sure if this is a universal issue. No idea what would be a safe way of setting up a safe direct connection - suspect having laptop plugged in and on then starting car would not be a good idea. Sure there are others on forum who know better - do a search/start a thread?
Cheers
Greg

I use Opera to Fred, perhaps yopu have disabled a cookie there........... I haven't upgraded yet though.

Browser remembering of a password is different to the remember me function of the logon screen. The browser remember will only remember the details for the specific logon page and auto add then them in the fields when you connect to the page - effectively then you only need to hit submit when you connect to the page - but you will be taken to the logon page.
