I tend to get impationed also but the cause is a different one mostly because a prog bugs out while doing something for example subtracting a simple dynamesh piece currently doesnt work for whatever reason and it was driving me nuts on the helmet i stopped and encountered the same thing today so i chopped the concept in half and trashed it I hope you had good news starkers since i just read your comment and didnt check back over study time. <img src="http://abload.de/img/conse

If it turns out that it isn't WB try deleting the software distribution folder in C:/Windows this will allow you to download the update once again This helped me... PS thanks LightStar i just hate it if stuff like that happens[quote who="Philly0381" reply="12" id="3472752"] So good to see the problem solved. I know it can be very frustrating when all we do is updates for Windows and things go wrong. In most cases the fix is an easy one. [/quote] hehe normaly t

No Norton was not the problem in this case Wizard since the Norton rep shows trusted In some cases Norton is carefull but hasn't been on MS updates Even though many do not think highly of it, times have changed and Norton is usable again and offers good protection. If it wouldn't i would run a free solution.

LightStar thanks im still trying to figure out the cause... i know that some do not face equal problems while updating But this smells like a faulty update... I rarely install new progs and if i do i restart my rig afterwards to see if there are any problems. The only thing that was done in this case is a windows update and that twisted my OS.

After getting home from Uni my PC booted, i saw the login screen and entered my password and then i had the great "Black screen". My mouse cursor wa

Reply to 6 reasons Windows 8 is still not a very good tablet OS in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote]#5 There’s no “launch” bar on the Metro screen[/quote] True but why would it ? I know why this is mentioned... but it doesnt take a 3rd party prog even if it is a good one to organize your stuff. From a lazy persons perspective - ( and im talking out of experience )it actually takes less time to organize your tiles than installing and adding your programs to the launch bar. The Result is pretty much the same if you make your main progs first

mhh interesting list... The best animated movie i have seen is The Adventures of Tintin No matter what title you bring up this movie rules them all. The amount of detail in it is insane even the intro s art by itself. The story is good bc steven Moffat Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish the whole move is typical spielberg grade. If you want to watch a animated move this one would be the one i recommend [video]https://www.

Its not that bad as you describe timmaigh but i do wake up during the nights sweaty and i do dream about the class that is next for the exam solving tasks in sleep.

Im not a huge fan of pharmacy, since i know that it is a mental thing that i have to
