There is nothing added software wise and it still insists on crashing, so in view of the fact it is less than a month old do I have to accept a re... |

Offended? Nah!
I just see it as a bit of a hindrance every couple of years.
But this year I have managed to blag a few days off work as a result so there is always a silver lining.

| How much was it? Hiya Ernest I think it should have cost around £80 from Asda but my sister- in- law who works for Asda used her discount and got it cheaper. A few relatives pitched in for a birthday present for me and will do the same for a copy of Windows 7 for Christmas (£50 at the moment). Beat... |

| Morning all. I have recently bought myself a Lacie 750gb external hard drive but I'm struggling already! I run Vista (I know) on a Acer laptop and when I plugged it in all was well in that I saw in the drive properties that the hard drive has 750gig ready to go. So I attempted to clone my laptop har... |
