Help with IT Problems

Hi Evakool

To answer yhour last question first, I use the power for graphics using Corel Draw. I am using the basic Windows Internet Explorer latest version as a Web Browser, and never had a problem there.

The laptop and this system only have one difference, this one is 64 bit, and the laptop is 32 bit.

Hi Ian

Yes I have upgraded to 9, I believe.

G'Morning Marc,
It's just that since I updated a few weeks ago I seem to have problems with IT.
I asked in the forum but apparently it is regarded as an off topic rule and was moderated.

Hi Christopher

I already have the full version and latest version of AVG on board. I suffered from a serious case of identity theft a while ago, which was half the reason that I sent this computer away and had everything re-done.

I should have added, I use Forefox, as it just seems a lot less complicated

Hi Bucky

Thanks for the new nickname, made my wife have a good laugh.

I know of FireFox, but I have filters set up on my computer and that is apparently the problem. I need to keep the filters as my Grandchildren use the computer and I would hate anything inappropriate to come on screen for them.

That is not making any inference on this site, just the general Internet and some of the garbage that is on line which toddlers do not need to see.

Cheers

Mate if you love his you would kill for mine, it has a dual core processor, but it is acutaully a quad core!!! only because AMD didn't have a true dual core die. so i have what you call a really big bang for my buck!!!!

i have 4 gb gb ramm, amd 3.1 ghz processor, running at 3.2 ( more stable and temp stability) with all four cores, 3 tb drives, one internal, 2 external, two burners and a x4850 graphic's card!!!

Lets just say its good for what i paid for it and did start up in win7 in less then 15 seconds with an ide main drive, when fresh.

lots of research went into it!!!!

and i love it.

Each to there own.

Hi Christopher

Sounds like a great system. I cheated, had my daughter get my system together at University, she is doing some studies there and has a few friends in the IT field.

I know what I have is a good computer, quick enough, and normally does what I want. Next task is to find a printer that will not suffer nd die in a couple of months. Any clues, send me an MM.

Cheers

depends on what you are after. I have had some experience with inkjets and are finding out what PITA they are. i have since bought a laser printer and it just does the bulk of the printing. I have had hp all in ones, ok for every now and then, with decent scanners. My feelings of late is brother, not too many cartridges low to medium cost and good print quality. The inkjets are PITA with every 2 days it does a print head clean, so you go thru a cartridge pretty quick, but you do have interchangeability with them, ie, a 37 cartridge will fit in a 57 machine and vice \versa.

the laser printer we have bought recently has two cartridge types a low yeild and a high yeild. really happy with both besides the inkjet and cartridges, i bought for the inkjet a refillable set and have used nearly all of the ink i bought with it.

the brother laser multifunction i do like. expensive but you have refillable laser cartridges as well, but check with your local inkworld guy to see if they can be refilled with toner.

cart's for the laser is on average $75 - $120, dickies being the dearest, and searching online you can get decent prices. thats for 2500 pages max.

Do your research and don't buy the first thing that you see.
