My sister said that her computer classes this last time was really hard for her to grasp....and she said she just gave up on them, and told her instrutor she didn't understand what to do. they told her that she most likely would never use what they were trying to teach her in this lesson... and not to worry about it..it was more og an running your own business type lesson.. By the time she ever did that...they would probably change the format anyway...but needed to understand what it was all about. |

But 7 certainly succeeded in the end and proved itself to be as stable as XP. Now ware onto Windows 8 and that looks to be every bit as good as XP and 7. Whatever I get next will probably have 8 on as basic anyway although Windows 7 is still available as prefered OS by a lot of the internet sellers. |

Hopefully it worked, because Mac OS is so easy to use. |

Peggy Cannell Posts: 5300 Joined: 14th Aug 2009 Location: UK | Posted at 14:55 on 15th December 2013 Well I guess when I downloaded the wrong ccleaner other things downloaded as well I have uninstalled them but snapdo has taken over and will not let me do anything and although I have uninstalled it and it is no longer on the list it is still there, have you heard of it. |
Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 15:03 on 15th December 2013 That's not one I have heard of Peggy although think it something to do with virus search so probably not dangerous, just unwanted, but have found this which may help get rid. Haven't looked at it but it is link from one of the big computer magazines .. PC Advisor. But you have someone coming tomorrow may be better to wait for them how can i rid of snap-do from my computer - Beginners' Tech Help ...

So jnot as straightforward as I hoped Personally I think I would wait to see what tomorrow brings |
