Downloading windows 10 and installing tonight

[KeithD]

Hmm I'm suprised at that.If it's running slow ded try seeing what programs are starting up when you boot it up.type in msconfig select start up and see how many things are checked to start up.Should only need 3 or 4.

It's slow because it has no graphics card to use (no driver), so is using the CPU for graphics.

Try the correct one of these:
32 Bit http://www.driverscape.com/files/dis...p_XP_32bit.zip
64 Bit http://www.driverscape.com/files/dis...p_XP_64bit.zip

Oh, your back Stewart, nice to see you as I was worried where you'd got to. This info that you've provided, I don't understand any of it, I find it very frightening because there's lots of words and things I've never come across before, pleased your back though.

Don't worry Michael-any questions just ask.I have been running it for a couple of weeks now and it is smoother and faster than windows 7.
Have a look at this

Thank you so much Les, the only things I can do on a computer is use the Forum, send and receive E-mails and do my internet banking also PNB remittance. Our computer is super fast with BT's Infinity 2, as for games and apps wouldn't know what to do with such things, our TV and Blue ray Player have apps but wouldn't have any idea what to do with them, but thanks for offering to help Les, I appreciate the thought

Well I use winamp to play my music files and power dvd for movies.You can get winamp for free and another program called VLC for everything else

Wouldn't bother with 100 islands personally, but there again it isn't that much of a detour if you're on your way to Baguio.

Thanks Les, I already use VLC, I will try winamp

When you install it,from memory it will ask you if you want toolbar or free music plays-just uncheck them as you don't need them.

Had a go at installing windows 10 this morning. It said make sure you have saved whatever, that was the first thing I had no Idea what it meant, the next thing it told me I would lose Windows Media, didn't really know what that meant apart from something to do with music. Anyway I just let it get on with it and when it came to the part where it tells you to sit and relax I decided to clean the car and when I checked the computer later there was just a blank screen so I switched it off by pressing the button because nothing else responded then turned it on again and it told me it was loading my previous Windows. As this was happening I realised that Windows Media is Freeview so I'm pleased that what happened did happen otherwise we would have lost it. So I'll have to stick with Windows 7!

You get Freeview online here http://tvplayer.com/watch/

Thanks Keith but our computer has Freeview built in with a large screen so we can watch news without going on internet at breakfast time
