Today, Hirai-san and Gates. Yes you two.

 

[bigboss]

Gates retired long time ago.

 

[SteveR750]

Yeah, but it's his legacy in my living room that's causing all the heartache.

If bits of the hardware have failed you can't really blame Microsoft though can you.

No true, but getting the software installed correctly after a hardware repair isn't much fun.

I've always found installing Windows (and the drivers and updates) to be pretty straight forward if a little time consuming.

Do you need Windows? You could try Linux

How about going retro... CD!

Seriously, hope you get sorted soon.

I know. Hindsight and all that.

I'll be without it for a couple of weeks, in the meantime I'll have to use the DVDP instead.....

I dunno. Suggesting Linux to someone struggling with Windows strikes me as asking them to replace a Kettle with a flint, some twigs and a roll of Tin-foil in order to make a cuppa.

I have used Linux myself many times over the years, and have dual boot on this laptop Mint 13 and Windows 8.

Windows 8 is way my favoured choice when I boot up.

Linux's problem is as soon as something doesn't work properly it's Google and command line fiddling. Not for the faint-hearted IMO.
