disappointment

London Olympic organisers were left red-faced on Tuesday when a huge clock in Trafalgar Square marking the countdown to the 2012 Games stopped just hours after being unveiled at a glitzy ceremony. The steel digital clock measuring 6.5 metres tall and five metres long froze with 500 days, 7...

When I pulled up Battlestar Galactic Online, I was expecting an RPG or adventure game which would explore and deepen the mythology of the Battlestar Galactica universe. I was understandably disappointed to find a dogfighting game which is not really worth the cost of admission. 

The game is...

Billy Ray Cyrus today admitted he has been left bitterly disappointed over a video which shows his daughter Miley smoking a bong. The country singer, who is in the throes of a divorce from wife Tish, took to Twitter today to address the tape, which captures the 18-year-old giggling...

In an unprescedented move, Captain James Kirk has fired his respected Chief Engineer 'Scotty' for making, what he called, “a backwards and technologically inferior device.” The device in question that Kirk was referring to was the flip open communicator that he and away team members use to...

Like countless others I've have the dreaded "nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding and has recovered" error. Whilst I dont consider myself a hardcore gamer I got this computer/graphics card so I could game with high quality details. So far I've use it to play solitaire and use the internet - the...

Just did a comparison with my Acer 1,7 mhz dual processor 3 gb; OS Ubuntu 9 and my brand new HP dv6 2,3 mhz AMD turion dual processor and 6 gb; OS 64 bit Win7; From boot to 'on the web' (64 bit IE with the HP and Firefox with the Acer) is my windows 7 system no less than 30 seconds SLOWER than...

Has anyone else received this Email today, from Microsoft support. I was urged into emailing a complaint to them. What a terrible waste of space !!! One of the biggest linked articles refers mainly to Vista, and is a blatant advert for the "Official" windows magazine. Another, teribly out of...

I am really hating Win7 right about now... Here's a regular daily duty for me. I put a camera CF card into a USB reader and put it into the USB slot. I then create folders on a hard drive for each day of photos that was on the CF card, and I drag all the Monday stuff from the CF into a Monday...

Hi there, I purchased Windows 7 home upgrade version on advice from a sales rep. I had been using windows Vista Home premium so I was advised the Home upgrade copy of W7 would be all I needed. Upon purchasing and installing the upgrade, I later realized I could no longer perform backups to a...

I have given windows 7 the true benefit of the doubt but as of now I will be going back to XP. I have been running RC build 7100 for about a 6 weeks now and tough I like the look of it the feel is just not there. I want to be able to configure my OS to act the way I want it to. I don't see why...

Hi all I'm REALLY disappointed with the W7 Realtek HD audio driver (V 2.33) as you can't control the equalisation any more. There's a load of "Canned presets" which I don't really like but no way to use a custom equalisation scheme like there was in XP. Seems to me a retrograde step -- the...

Don't know if anyone posted this already BUT it deserves multiple posts. If u go to the now SLIGHTLY useful new feature of libraries and search for a file with Windoz Explorer u won't find anything. WE search can't search the libraries. U MUST go the the folder location/drive/whatever and...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've done a torture test on my Windows 7 32-bit machine. it consists of a Nvidia Geforce 6100 nForce video, Nvidia nForce Networking Controller, Hitachi 200GB drive TSST Corp CD\DVDRW drive, , AMD Athalon 64 Processor 3800+. I have installed 106...

Superfetch does not seem to be loading commonly used programs & system files into memory at startup the same way Vista does. Isn't Windows 7 supposed to be faster? I have a high end PC and after running the release candidate on here for the past week I have noticed that Vista actually ran...

tell me frankly, if you disagree… for my part, I am still disappointed with Windows 7 almost like I was with Vista. It’s those virtual folders… why not just keeping a simple “My Documentsâ€Â￾ folder whose position (and partition) I can determine by myself like in...

I am having so many problems with my Vista computer, even though it comes on a clean install. Aside from the regular crashes, my CPU usage and fan run high on even limited applications. (watching a 1 minute spot commercial on WMP, for example, sets off my fan like a plane propeller). I notice...

Angry I-Tunes is rubbish I have the 30Gb video I-Pod, it has about 250 albums and about 8 movies on it, there's around 9Gb of hard disk space left. As most of you know, your I-Pod will mirror what's saved on your hard drive on your computer in your I-Tunes saved data folder. Also as most of...

:?: for so many years we get used to all kind of windows and "addons" ...eh. We all know the issues about the Microsoft products...and we all know that a monopoly political does not come with a great scientific development. So what is gonna be this Windows Vista? Hmm...my opinion is that is...
