Newbie Qs
Hello! I've just finished setting up a new desktop PC with windows 7.:)
Please move me/this, if it's in the wrong place.
I love it! Everything has gone well, I installed 7 pro and added my existing XP profession-related programs (no need for XP mode).
My last desktop did 7 years sterling service on XP (with only 1 clean install, 3 years in).
I am really pleased my old hardware works so well and can only breathe a huge sigh of relief that I didn't need to install XP to save my old apps.
Only two issues have come up.
1) the Nvidia (Asus Geforce 210 HDMI) control panel often fails to respond (swapping from monitor to TV), surprising it's windows 7 cert?
2) I attempted to install ubuntu (on a partition) and it failed, but lost 30gb of drive space. Windows can't find it, nor can a third party partition manager?
3) Dos anyone wish to comment on my cheap (free) add-ons?
Avast!
ccleaner.
inSSider (to help with wifi).
auslogics disk defrag.
I have gone with these after using AVG/Iobit/inSSider/windows!! on my Vista laptop.
That's it.
I love it, congrats to Microsoft for making it far more pleasurable than Vista, and just as a final goodbye.....(to XP), thanks for the service!
