Error message and search problems
I'm new to this site - hopefully someone can help.
As background - bought a new i5, gtx260, windows 7 x64 computer seven days ago.
Almost everthing I've tried to load has been a major headache - I am still not at a stage to do serious engineering work - main ones are Office, Autocad, etc - they seem to crash due to run-of-the-mill tasks.
But that's an aside.
1. I seem to get error messages in the background (randomly) - I've gone to shutdown numerous times due to no response, and then I find an error message after I close applications down - ie hidden in the background behind other open windows.
How can this be ?
Is there a setting for something as crucial as this ?
2. I have found that "search" sometimes goes for 20 minutes - and sometimes finds nothing. Whereas XP went for 2 minutes and found everything ???
I am not a novice - and find this (and many other things) incomprehensible.
