Yes it always handy for future refs as you say.
Have just bought a new laptop myself and soon this old girl will have it's SSD cloned and 10 put on the clone like I did with one of my desktops but it is going to be an interesting exercise seeing it is a fairly different setup eh because I am...
Gator no expert but what you are saying id it is asking for an operating system to boot from so forgive my curiosity but is this a dual boot machine??
Never a fan of either Vista or 8 but is this an upgrade too? as I am also not a fan of that option.
If the install was a clean install why not...
Mike to save me scratching around is this program by Oracle have to or need Java? I ask because where I work they use Oracle and it seems Java is needed?
Hum have tried both and much of a muchness except one costs the other not. Classic Shell does ok for me when I am using 8 which isn't very often the changing of the start button icon is the only fiddley bit I don't like having to do as I still prefer the 7 flag one and getting one to fit.

Thanks Shawn I will have to do some reading to see how the manual scan is done etc.
Oh and have a merry Christmas mate and lets hope the new year is as good as the last one - well that is but for the loss of some of our members eh?
Am tidying up a friends computer and she wanted the Norton taken off and something free put on. Now I downloaded MSE and when I went to install it gave me a message that it wasn't needed because the Windows Defender was covering the machine.
I have not come across this before and am wondering if...
Whenever I open the net I get a gap at the bottom and borders at the sides - see pic hitting the maximize button puts it right and dragging and dropping the bottom gap works but the side borders are not adjustable manually.
I have Googled several fixes but none work the only one that works is...
