Hi all,

joined today in hope of saving my super cool Win7x64 install...

My #1 mistake: for some reason too long to explain, I don't have a system image ready to restore.

I'm a graphic designer and though I have a PC background, I also enjoy Unix-based OSes like OSX and Ubuntu. The PC world is more free and offers so much diversity, but the price is unstability, IMO. In 7 years of using my MacBook, I haven't ever had to reinstall... that says a lot, and I never achieved anything like that with any other system.

Now I still like my Windows a lot, but it infuriates me that my new "super-rig" fails me after less than a year. I also utterly fail to properly grasp the notions of EFI, UEFI, GPT vs MBR, etc (though I know these aren't Windows-specific)... I come to realize that, being (or trying to be) the hard-working human I am now (compared to my teens) leaves me with way less time to tinker under the hood of the computer. I need this stuff to just WORK, not to present super hard-/software challenges in new technology which workings I haven't been able to actually learn.

Anyway... I'm glad a community like this exists to (maybe) help out the aging dudes like me. :D

Hi everyone!

I joined a week or so ago when my computer locked me out of the Administrator account. The help I've been getting is wonderful. I still haven't resolved my problem as yet, but it will be a matter of time since I'm still receiving help from some wonderful people here. I'm so glad I found this forum. There is so much helpful information here. Now I know where to come when I encounter other problems. Thanks

Hi everyone. Not been on the forum for a while but need some help and figured this would be the best place to get it. Yesterday I experienced Ransom ware. I already had some removal instructions printed so followed those but I now have a black screen upon start-up.

What forum should I post onto please?

I'd post in the General forum, the Admins could always move it if necessary. Get your display working, then make sure the infection is gone when that's done. Also fill in your system specs as best you can will help. A Guy
