it is. But I've had the Win10 preview on my laptop for a minute now, and I'm def gonna upgrade once it drops. it's free for Win7 users, and as a PC gamer, DirectX 12 is huge for me anyway. But it's basically the best things of 7 and 8 combined.

But yeah my gaming PC has 7, and it's still my fav. Unfortunately it will stop getting security updates in the near future. And trust, I hate 8. But I'm feeling fine about the jump to 10 having used it now.

Bytor that's more because both of those - especially Adobe, open doors to major malware. But in this case, he's swept for malware, plus that article I found makes it sound this issue is totally not malware. Good thought though.

The problem has been fixed! I owe you one noisereductions :) Also thanks !@#$%! and Bytor Peltor for yr advice.

you called for computer geek. More than glad to help, bud. :D

I think I'll switch to win 10 when it's available!

put an ssd on yr macheen and it will fly! (i have a 2009 macbook that still works thanks to that)

anyway good to know it's fixed, though nothing i said was of help lolol. but kudos to NR.

TRUTH!

woah...they're on win10 now?

SSD's are so worth it. I have a 120SSD and a 1TB HDD on my pc right now....the SSD is just for the programs n stuff...and man...no waiting....whatsoever.

yeah mangs get a ssd at all costs.

almost.

Basically MS took all the feedback from 8 and was like "ok we'll fix it" so instead of making 9 they're jumping to 10. So consider 8.1 to be 9.

Currently there's a tech preview which I've been doing on my lappy. They have announced that for the first year anyone w/ 7 or 8 can upgrade to 10 for free. The tech preview runs to April 15, so I'm guessing we'll get a release date around then.

New problem.

If I try to open my recycle bin my laptop crashes...

I found this: http://www.eightforums.com/general-s...es-system.html

Looks like I need to reset the recycle bin but I will lose everything in it unless I use another program to try to recover the items.... :/

FUCKING COMPUTERS!

fucking windows you mean...

my 5.5 year old macshit still runs well-- it needed an HD + memory upgrade on its 5th barfday (it was too slow) and it's a bit banged up but it still holds. has lasted longer than my thinkpad x30 from back in the stone ages.

it's utter shit for games though.

^you nailed it. I'm sure Macs are great and all for just general computer stuff. But I've always been a tinker-er so I prefer the freedom of PC's. PLUS, my main use is gaming so it's a no-brainer. I'm one of those guys that's just doing the constant upgrade thing cuz I enjoy the hobbyist side. I'm pretty sure that my PC today is completely different build from a year ago other than the case and drives.

im a tinkerer too--- but i prefer the freedom from headaches haaa haaa haaa.

but seriously, since work is all about a smooth performance this macshit works like a charm.

just as an example this morning i had to scan a document on a windoz laptop. the scanner utility was shit, the printer control didn't scan anymore as it had before bla bla etc etc. hooked my old macshit glued with gorilla tape and i had a scan in seconds.

i used to build & fuck around with numputers but in the end the savings and/or performance upgrades didn't replace the lost productivity when time was critical.

but games-- games is another story. i might just build me a game box one of these days. i haven't played a new game in something like 3 years.

The recycle bin problem is fixed and I got back the things I had deleted by accident.

New problem: I can't upload anything from my laptop anymore using wetransfer but it works fine if I use my desktop pc...

Any ideas/help appreciated.

dropbox?
