I bought a laptop, a really powerful one which I am fond of. I'm not pleased with Windows 8, Windows XP was great, Windows Vista was more elegant but more resource consuming, Windows 7 is perfect but miss my familiarity with XP, Windows 8 has rewired the entire Operating System and there's conspiracies that Microsoft have installed backdoors in it's source code to cooperate with the NSA but they deny it despite tests indicating otherwise. I'm also not pleased with permanently being logged in with my email and can't conceal my privacy. Come to think of it, Windows XP would probably no longer support the drastic hardware improvements over the last 5 years... am I correct and Is XP no longer supported?@areyouthatstupid: hmmm?@stelian: StartMenu8 huh? If that's what I think it is, problem could be solved.

moreResolved Question: pc wont load windows 7, keeps restarting?
hey again guys, i am facing a problem and im not really sure what to do.
i am in an internet cafe with 25 computers which previously had windows xp. i took one computer and did a fresh install of windows 7 and installed drivers and games e.t.c. Then i took that disk and mirrored it with norton ghost. i used the mirrored disk to 2 of 25 computers and it worked perfectly. but then when i did ghost to 3 other computers succesfully, when windows trying to load it restarts immidiately when windows logo appears. i figured is something to do in the bios and changed drive to both legacy and native but still nothing. i inserted windows 7 disk to repair but it says startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically. i opened cmd and tried:
bootrec /fixMBR
bootrec /fixBoot
bootrec /rebuildBCD
bootrec /scanOS
still nothing. what am i missing here? any help would be appreciated. thanks. (note that not all computers here are the same. also the mirrored hdd i used was from a core2duo computer and installed on two i7 computers and worked great)oh, the motherboard to the computers not loading windows 7 is Intel DG31PRLaurence thanks for the response. so my only solution now is a fresh install instead of mirroring?

Just a general question about Windows 7.
I've been using windows for years and years starting from 3.11, 95,98, xp, vista, win7
When I had vistas I always had my updates on and every bloody time it was installing and downloading some updates, my windows seemed to be getting heavier and slower, I had a few clean intallations of vista but every 10 months or so it started getting heavy, I'm i always keep my laptop clean, registery and unintalling apps i don't need and chec for malware too.
When I upgraded on win 7 I decided to turn off all the updates completely and never needed single one, downloaded framework separate and adobeflash, java. I have it over 2 years and all is fine.
I am just wondering what;s all the fuzz about, how come I don;t need it and all is running fine, please tell me someone what am I missing. By the way i dont use windows essentials or what it's called the antivirus. I have avast+spybot+malwarebytes combo

moreResolved Question: Someone please answer this question, need help!?
I AM SO ANNOYED!
I have spent at least 2-3 hours on working on a video, it came into my head so I thought I'd make one. Now I took these videos with my iPhone but since it does not have a fucking pause button so you can't cut from one video to another, I had to do that on Windows Movie Maker. I put them all together and then I play them, and they freeze or come out as pictures or have no sound. I am really pissed, I was going to put it on youtube because I found it rather funny. Why the hell are they freezing and have no sound? Is there anything I can download on my iPhone (WITHOUT PAYING) that will let me put my videos together? Because CLEARLY Windows Movie Maker can't even do that. Never mind editing them!

moreResolved Question: Can a ad hoc network be bridged to a separate Wifi network?
Hi all,
I was wondering if there is any way to bridge 2 wireless networks in windows 7. Here's the problem, I just installed a D-Link wireless adapter (DWA 547 N650) in my desktop pc and it is refusing to connect to my wifi, however it does connect to ad hoc networks to my laptop and my laptop connects perfectly to the wifi.
Is there anyway I can bridge these two connections? Or does anyone know how to make the wireless adapter work? I have already uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled the vista/xp versions as recommended on some other sites and that didn't work. I am getting very frustrated.
Thank you for any help.

moreResolved Question: Install Windows 7 on a Laptop with Windows 8?
I am going to purchase a new laptop, but *hate* the idea of switching to Windows 8. I'm happy with Windows 7, and it's been my experience with new Windows products that just about every 3rd version they come out with is buggy as heck. That appears to be the case with Windows 8 - not too many people are happy with it, because it's such a drastic change from 7. Since I'd rather stay with Windows 7, but all new laptops are equipped with 8, I'd like to know how difficult it would be to uninstall 8 and reinstall 7. I'm assuming I can still purchase Win7 and just wipe the operating system and install 7. Correct?

When I reconnect to my home network or turn on my computer, it takes 1-5 minutes loading until it finally can connect to something like Google.com. After those 1-5 minutes of waiting, the speeds are incredibly slow for about a minute. I have the same problem when connecting to a VPN. I used Windows troubleshooter awhile back, "Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings" was the response. I have applied the commands "netsh winsock reset" and then "netsh int ipv4 reset" with no success.My ISP isn't the problem, the modem (provided by my ISP) and router work fine. Other devices can connect through them fine. It is solely my laptop computers fault.I completed a full scan of my computer with "Comodo Antivirus" and still have the problem persisting.

moreResolved Question: Microsoft Security Essentials not recognized as on?
In Windows XP 32 bit, I have Microsoft Security Essentials as my virus protection program. If you open the program, and look in the task manager, both will show that the program is in fact running and real-time protection is enabled. It is also set to run at start up. However, in the Windows Security Alerts, it does recognize that I have the program installed, but it claims that it is not running. This is annoying because every time I start the computer, the window comes up by the notifications on the task bar telling me its off. How can I fix this? I'm using a Dell Inspiron 5100 if that makes any difference, with Windows XP service pack 3.I have tried Avast! before, and I didn't like it because it seemed to be a very heavy program, it was annoying as well, constantly putting messages on my screen while I'm trying to work and literally talking to me all the time. Are there are other free programs that you would recommend that are quieter?

everywhere i see the max the laptop can take is 2gb,
as this came with vista, it runs/walks at a snails pace and freezes when you do anything,
what would happen if i added a 2gb stick instead of the 1gb stick so i would have 3gb installed,
it currently has 2x 1gb 667 sticks at present.
im looking at this for a friend and he cant afforsd to buy windows 7 neither does he want xp installed,
its currently using 1.4gb just to run the damn thing, hate vista !

I want to make my Toshiba Satellite laptop Bluetooth compatible with my Samsung mobile phone (which already has Bluetooth), solely for picture and video with audio file transfers.
I don't know much about the technology- headsets, drivers and such. It all seems complicated to me. I just want to move stuff from my phone to my laptop. What adapter can I buy to do this in the SIMPLEST most effective way?
Thank you
