It makes me sad that you think a legitimate point such as I made, is regarded as theatrics. "it was important for us not to discriminate towards active members " That' s almost comical. The result was an insult to many active members. In view of your latter comments, and previous engagements...

LOl. Particularly the first two winners. Sabrehagens first post (of only two) was a suggestion for help. It was given in the third post in the thread.As far as I can see, from his subsequent post after that, he acted on it with 100% success. I know this will incur the continued wrath of the...

My Laptop, an expensive model, started like that and finally hung up. The bug report (safe mode) indicated a graphics problem. I googled and got some frightening results. It seems that with some, not all, laptops, using Nvidea graphics, have had the same problem. I am not frightening you, but it...

Congrats, Iroken. The first two nominees, after there initial threads, have not been on the site for over a year, I can see they are busy in their other fields (not computer related), so are probably long gone. Hopefully, should they respond. Congrats to both.

Is there no "uninstall" in Itunes, in the start menu?

A wild shot in the dark! Do you have a fingerprint reader on your laptop? If so disable it. It appears to be a common reason for delays before the logon stage.

As Nibiru says. If you do not remove the previously activated OS then, when the next "genuine copy" update comes along, one of your two computers may become inoperative. If you wish to continue illegally using both, then you would have to switch off the updates. You can certainly cover this by...

I have heavily customised my start programs, but I think, by default, it is in "Accessories" It is included in windows and is free. If you install Micrpspft's own antivirus program, Microsoft Security essentials (MSE), which is an updated successor to Defender, it will disable it.

Re: Great! You're right, Glexn. I have installed it and Examined it (windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit). I have previously kept up to date and, frankly, I can see nothing to test! It did give me some stange fluctuations on a couple of sites, using IE, but not with Firefox. I bugged this, fwiw. Another...
