www.fixingmycomputer.com is dedicated to helping you deal with hardware problems on your PC and uses flow charts (http://www.fixingmycomputer.com/) to guide you through the process.
It is handy for making sure you have not missed something obvious and provides a logical approach to solving the problem.
Looks like they could be useful, :karmic: :)
Very useful indeed. I'm even going to bookmark that myself! :karma:
Great link, Alan. :thumb: :karma:
:karma:
Note that it appears to be for XP only.
OK, so it doesn't support marginal OS like Linux, Mac and Vista... ;D :out:
:buttkick:
;D
Dont need flow chart in vista,far too intuitative. If it breaks just bin it. :)
:rofl: :karmic:

I almost got vista too boot up once! For fear of being flamed, I dont like win7 either! While doing some programming once, or even editing text files, id save it, then open it again and it wouldnt save the changes, be it i had to wait some random time to actually see the changes i just made. was annoying as once I was writing a document and had to close it to send it to someone on MSN, she got the old version, to which i opended it and it was indeed the old version, i went on to make more changes and eventually she got the version i wanted, which was still not the latest one...
Be it after some gooooooooooogle searches later.. found out that it was some feature in win7 to reduce disk writes on networks or something... be it that option was turned off aways.. thus gave up and stuck to XP :thumb:
That's the user access protection*. The changes had been made, quarantined, filed, virus scanned, logged, zipped and moved to the "my documents folder" under "/%%username%%/" then "text documents" and "things you fiddled with" all for your convenience.
Once you turn that auto feature off, I find Windows 7 is the best OS yet. I think windows 8 will be too, once you turn off all the "new" features too. :whistle:
*[edit]
Oh, read your post. So it was some strange caching of network drives? Silly Windows. :(
*shrugs* I wasn't even on a network, just a single pc, everything i could turn off was turned off, i ran into so many iffy things that i just couldn't use it :( it did seem to run quicker than XP though, would have liked to have moved on, but that ideas got filed and zipped away in the recycle bin for now :thumb:
That's one way to bump a three year old thread..
I use Windows 7 all day long every day and have no problems at all. Either I'm "lucky" or I know what I'm doing?!?!
didnt even notice it was a old topic, it said NEW on the forum so assumed it was :eyebrow:
Either you haven't been here for a while or we moved it. :)
