From jimbo4's Post 13 Well yes Firefox can do what it darn well pleases because it is your choice if you want to use Firefox or not. And not to mention the tiny fact that it is free? Now IE...much different story, even though I have paid for it and do not use it, I can not get rid of it. So if...

One of the most basic reasons why people did not upgrade to 8.1? Um...it crashed their systems? I do know quite a few that that happened to and I could not figure out why. Remember, we are talking new computers with 8 installed om them. I was able to update with nary a problem and the only...

:roflmao: Um, that was naughty...but why oh why do I see Microsoft doing the same in Nine...

What don't I get here? A Media Player that I can get for free, online, Windows Store is charging for?

Well, the fuzzy fuss is, on our part, the wishful thinking that Microsoft will hear our complaints on what we don't like and hear our compliments on what we do like. Remember, I did say wishful...thinking...

HippsieGypsie No, you are more than likely about right on. What I was trying to figure out was how you were running 64 bit on 1 GB of RAM. But, your spec's do state 2, so I got my question answered. I know with this system that I have 42 processes right now running in the background plus the...

BlueMasterFX, Could you please explain what you are showing? Or are you as confused as I?

But we did forget one thing that might to some be important, SSD 's tend not to give a warning when they are going. They just fail. In that category, SSD's are not as polite as HDD's. HDD's tend to give warnings that yes I am failing. For me? I would rather have the space than speed. I even...

HippsieGypsie, What is using all of your RAM? Now I do know 8.1 eats resources like popcorn, but I switched to 8.1 to compare. I am only using 564 mb of RAM with the following...Firefox (with add on's), I have 6 tabs open and one tab is youtube listening to an album. Opened up the Task Manager...

Just a quick reminder on SSD's a. they are expensive, about 60 cents per GB b. once the SSD gets over half full, they begin to slow down and are on par with HDD for speed and c. you can only write over them so many times before you start experiencing read/write errors. Funny, I multitask all...

Actually, whs, I read your guilds and that was what got me going on my way with this 8.1 computer. Virtual is the best way right now because I can try out the distros without dealing with the secure boot etc. Thanks!

In seeing all these lovely desk tops, I guess that even in this forum, the fisher-price desk top is not appreciated.

Well...if one is concerned with security on their Windows computer the first step would be is not to use MSE and to use another anti-virus program. I would also consider using another firewall and another web browser. And don't forget to add the add ons to you browser such as WOT, NoScript and...

Thank-you MasterChief, I was going to state that XP can take a screen shot. I just could not find if ME could. And 98 did not have, from what I can tell the ability to take a screen shot. I always love the line of reasoning that it cost money to keep an OS going. (Don't tell Linux that shhh.)...

HG Sorry to disappoint your grandson, but my XP is wiped out...went to Linux. And this 8.1? Oops...I run Linux on, too. And if Windows Nine is another Microsoft bust? Bye bye Eight. However, if you want to show him XP, many businesses, hospitals, doctors and of course banks are still running...
