Can you make a copy of the database (in case) then load the database into a text editor such as BBedit Lite, search for a phrase in the corrupted message and delete the message text?

I've never seen anything like this in Safari or Firefox. Where are you seeing it?

Uh, OK, things must be different in the USA. Here in the UK my ADSL has been offline a total of 3 times in the last 3 years. On each occasion it was down to some catastrophe like a guy driving an excavator through the main pipeline optical fibres (or "fibers") or an underground fire. Others have...

Unfortunately yes. But only the earlier version. However, it's possible to set both "Safari" and "Firefox" to present itself as I.E. Drag or download the files to a folder on your Hard Drive. Right-click and select "Open With" then navigate to PowerPoint (or whatever you should be using) and...

I think it's cmd and spacebar. I keep touching that by mistake and end up typing in Greek!

Ok, it's obvious but I'll ask. Did you "repair permissions"? Then go System preferences -> Print & Fax. Highlight your printer in the window then click - (minus) to remove it. Then click + (plus) to add a printer. Take it from there. . .

Try a new USB cable.

In other words, change your ISP.

In Apple Mail click on Format -> Make Plain Text. That should fix it.

Do you mean "Hide Address Bar"?

Ah, yes, that looks ideal. I found more info: http://www.allmacshop.co.uk/?page=proddetail&prod=19953 For best quality, use a Scart to Phono adapter and run (thin) phono cables to it.

1. The files will fill a massive amount of space. You'll end up with a truck load of discs. I use an external Firewire 500GB drive for holding my current movie files. These drives are becoming cheaper by the week.

I recommend you limit your surfing to MacOSX, otherwise you'll end up with the usual Windows problems with viruses, worms, spyware etc. Use Windows for the (few) things that MacOSX won't do (better). I also recommend that you turn "Check Spelling as You Type" on in "Safari". You'll find it in...

Perhaps zapping the PRAM will fix it?

I'm out of ideas. If you want good quality the EyeTV200 is my only suggestion. Keep a look on eBay. You might find one going cheap. ElGato USA are offering them (refurbished) for $200 (£105) which is a bargain.

No, I'm wrong, the Elgato EyeTV EZ USB 2.0 Analog TV Receiver appears to do the job at just over £100. However this is just an analogue tuner. It does NOT have S-Video or AV inputs. So it will give somewhat indifferent picture quality and the audio will be mono (because that's what comes from...

The Miglia TV mini is a USB Freeview (digital terrestrial) receiver. He needs an analogue tuner or, preferably, a video input box as I suggested. The EyeTV200 has RCA (phono) inputs that can be connected to the Sky Digibox Scart socket with a suitable lead or adapter. It also has an S-Video...

You'll need a video input box such as the EyeTV200 (Firewire). This box is obsolescent but some stores might still have one left. Try Computers Unlimited in London. Warning! It's not cheap.

I saw a note that says for fans "taking off" you should boot the G5 in "single user mode" type the word exit then reboot. No idea what it means!

Click on the apple (menu bar top left). Select "About This Mac" (or something similar - I forget). Tell us what it says on that pop-up.
