I don't think the menu's changed in all the years either. Peggy is very quiet Hope all is OK with the laptop.

rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 20:58 on 18th December 2013 I lost count of how many days I wrote off in 2007 reinstalling everything after several factory resets of Vista on David's old laptop |
Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 21:11 on 18th December 2013 I dont do the resets, or repairs as they call them, I have an XP disc and install absolutely from scratch. The process takes about an hour and reformats the entire disc in the process so you theoretically end up with a brand new system. Put a newer bigger hard disc in a couple of months ago and being a few years newer than the disc that was in, the pc seemed to be running on rocket fuel but by the time all the programmes etc were reinstalled it slowed a bit, but still much quicker than the old disc. It is something well worth doing with older machines now and again |
