    Windows 10 rebels.

    To get my 7.1 surround sound working with my newly installed Windows 10, I had to use Asus's Vista driver. Many thanks Bill.

    Windows 10 rebels.

    All Windows 7 Ultimate's got upgraded. I've upgraded my wife's laptop and one desktop without any problems. Mine? Just typical! Total nightmare with me managing to corrupt my Windows 10 to the extent I was forced into carrying out a clean install. I DJ online on an American server using...

    Windows 10 rebels.

    Thanks for the answers so far. I should've said for home use, as in a personal choice. I will leave my XP Pro as is. Just not sure about my 3 x W7 Ultimate's. Have possible costs of W10 software post-29th July been mentioned? Your kindnesses prompt me to announce I wish my grave to be filled...

    High level computer purchase advice for likely 60-65 machines

    A positive decision then. The period in my earlier post was 2012 - 2014. Your kindnesses prompt me to announce I wish my grave to be filled before yours.

    Is there anyone with W7 or W8 who won't be upgrading to W10 before the 29th July. If there is, why? Your kindnesses prompt me to announce I wish my grave to be filled before yours.

    High level computer purchase advice for likely 60-65 machines

    I have experience of looking after 2000+ Dell's, HP's & Lenovo laptops. The company originally were using Dell & HP until it came to contracts being renewed. I have no idea why it was decided to change to Lenovo, perhaps because they were trumpeting the fact that they had the market share, all...

    Dell Screw Size - E6540

    I believe the majority of Dell laptop HDD caddy screws are M3x3mm. I went to Link - If you hover over the 13th photo, you'll see the info. Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

    W7 Automatic update is creating folders

    AVG has been known to block some Windows Updates. If you've not already tried, try turning off your "Online Shield". You shouldn't need to turn the "Resident Shield" off completely. If that works for you, then once you have the updates, turn "Online Shield" back on and repeat should the...

    128GB exFAT card not being seen

    Problem solved by buying a new Transcend USB 3.0 card reader. Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

    128GB exFAT card not being seen

    Hi Phil, it's a Bytestor multi card reader, but since posting I've put the card directly into the reader of a Samsung NC10 netbook with XP Home Edition on it, and I get the same message asking me to format the card. However, and this is driving me crazy, I've put the card directly into the...

    128GB exFAT card not being seen

    I have a new good quality carcam which accepts SDXC cards up to 128GB but when it comes to reading or transferring to my computer the card via my Multi Card Reader in USB2 or USB3 ports, I see the multiple ports of the reader in "My Computer" but no card and a "You need to format the disk in...

    Perhaps it's time to Fry the pedants.....

    Thanks for the link, interesting reading. I did wonder if my post had rankled with the regulars, hence the lack of comments. Now I can see that it's more than likely due to the link having been shown and discussed previously. Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is...
