windows virtual memory file - when windows runs out of real memory it copies some to the hard drive and reloads it when its needed - the error you got could have been reloading from the swap file good luck

probably yes to the PATS - the key that starts the car, impossibly to tell if its coded to the GEM - for remote opening if the transmitter is borked.

yes forum update has lost the display of the vehicle details - see here ah sorted I see if you look at the top of the pillars between the doors you should see perforated sections, the ultrasonic sensors are in there, don't know offhand whch fuse it would be - if its been removed it should be obvious but if its blown it will be a case of looking at all of them - tedious but cheap :D as to the first error - does your aircon work - does the display flash on start up ?

cheers - would appreciate any info you can find -
at a wild guess, fault with ultrasonic sensors or wiring (top of B-pillars) kept setting off the alarm so someone has pulled the fuse to stop it sounding. :D PS - would be useful to know car make/model/year (put it in sig line)

Considering the possiblity of building a pc as a media player to fit in the car. Was thinking of basing it on a shuttle type case as small as possible. to include: dvd drive amd processor 512Mb memory firewire connection large hard drive 250Gb umm - some sort of anti shock mounting mouse wireless or wired fanless graphics card - svideo output + splitter os system - windows media/ linux ?? couple of wide screen lcd displays (already got these) How would I sort out a power supply (happy to build my own but it would be transformer/regulator based - not switched mode), would need to supply power to screen as well Basically just want to be able to copy current dvds onto hard drive, transfer videos froom laptop, and play them. Am I wasting my time - don't want to spend mega bucks and I can't find purpose built systems basic enough. Comments/thoughts/feasibility anyone

Each of us sees our own warn log, if its on 0% it means you haven't had any warning - not been a naughty boy/girl if your warn log is greater than 0 then ckick on it and you will get a window telling you who has warned you and for what (moderator/admin) try clicking on the 0 :huh: -
Should I Ask Them For My Money Back ?
NikpV replied to a topic in Dealer Service and Reliability (Galaxy)
hmm can't see why either - I would try and get details of new car spec in writing can't remember if youve given trading standards a ring if you haven't I reckon its time to if you can't get anything in writing, I assume you still have a Galaxy from them to drive around in? -
hmm implies maf problems, may be worth disconnecting it and seeing if it makes any difference - costs nothing, if it doesn't get worse then its suspect - I've never heard it causing stalling though - may be worth a try (see faq for location) ps Helpful to give full car details
