Wife got a new tablet for Christmas and is trying to watch films on Putlocker site, but keeps telling her to disable your add blocking software, how does she do that? She's aloud pop ups but doesn't know what to do now. Any advice would be gratefully received ta.

She's running Google Chrome but cannot find an add block. It's driving her mad cause she's normally quite good with this sort of stuff, unlike myself.

As far as I am aware Google Crome does not have its own Ad blocker, so there must be am Ad blocker preloaded, Look in the tablet settings and see if you can spot it,then open it go to options and allow putlocker, It should give you the option of allowing putlocker first time you open it.

Me again! I have let my 6yr old granddaughter watch Horrid Henry on you tube on my laptop but somehow she has reduced the size of the screen so I cannot see the minimise/ maximise or x to log out of the program. I have stretched it both to the left of the screen and up to its maximum but still it is not large enough to see the symbals. Tried google and no success so ask NSC.

Thanks for all the advice what would I do without NSC.

Perhapos somebody can help me again. Wife ir rather I forget to setrecorder for a program for wife so wanted to watch it on ITV Player but we had no sound although HDMI cabel was connected cos we had a good picture. She finished up watching it on my laptop with headphones. Then googled the problem and it gave a solution in settings but none of those as listed appearred. Could I buy a lead to run from the headphones socket of the pc to trhe headphone soclket of the TV would hat work. If so are they likely to be standard 3.5m sockets? Thanks in anticipation of some advice.

1. Plug HDMI into both laptop and TV.
2. Tune into the HDMI channel on your TV.
3. Make sure volume on TV is UP.
4. Restart Laptop.
5. Watch Laptop reboot via your TV.
6. Reboot sound SHOULD be heard via TV.

HDMI cable should return sound - The sound is controlled by the TV and NOT the laptop when connected via HDMI.
For fun, make sure the TV and Laptop sound is up and neither are on Mute, that included the ITV player as well.

3.5mm to 3.5mm will not work.


A simple test to check if everything is working as it should be:

1. Plug HDMI into both laptop and TV.
2. Tune into the HDMI channel on your TP.
3. Make sure volume on TV is UP.
4. Restart Laptop.
5. Watch Laptop reboot via your TV.
6. Reboot sound SHOULD be heard via TV.

If not joy on the above, it may be a HDMI issue but doubt it.

You're going to have to be clearer.
Trying to help but I don't have a clue what you mean here.

You shouldn't have to change any settings to connect a HDMI to Laptop.

Have you followed the steps I posted?
