How good is windows 7 please?
Hi guys. Thanks very much. I had never heard of WINDOWS EASY TRANSFER, can you use a memory stick for that? Very soon, Microsoft will slowly wind down support for XP-based systems I know that's why I want to upgrade, heard there are too many glitches with 8 at the moment. I will back up my p...

Do you have an external hard-drive, Louise? This is best for backing up to. Best thing to do is: (1) click your START button; (2) click on MY COMPUTER; (3) either hover over your "C" drive (your main drive), or right-click then select PROPERTIES. (4) note the size of your hard-drive (p...

howdy folks ;) XP end of life is in April 2014. There's a bit of time time to make up your mind. Even then it will not stop working, it will simply become more vunerable to hacks, a decent firewall will help. A Windows 7 licence will be about £50 and I'd imagine a shop will charge you £50 to...

Windows 7, is a very good operating system, vastly superior to Vista. I echo comments on his thread that recommend finding a reputable independent retailer that can help, so in that respect not PC World or any of the "superstores" Windows 8 has been mentioned, I have recently changed to that, an...

[quote:3496ace15f="Blueforever"]Just be careful which w7 licence you get, as some will sell you one which will work for about 2/3 months before micros*ft shut it down because it was a development licence for development only...... Where is the best place to get a proper validated Windows 7 system?...

One thing I should also add is that you should get your installer to do a "custom install" as it is then quite possible NOT to wipe the C: partition on your hard disk and so to retain all your old info. If you don't, and he does not, then you will lose everything on your C parition unless you back i...

£200 for windows 7 unit, http://www.tier1online.com/bundle-hp-8000-elite Not a bad deal on a refurb - plus, they will bundle in a monitor (although it's "pot luck" on that front!)... Or, for an extra £50 (or thereabouts), there's this machine from Curry/PC World. I'm guessing from the specs ...

I've just bought a Zoostorm PC for my partner and loaded it with Ubuntu (my first foray into Linux) I can't stand Microsoft and hated constantly having to fix her machine (I have a Mac) The PC is incredible value - £99 with cash back. and Ubuntu is flippin' awesome! so clean and easy. Absolutely n...

Classified Happy!
I've had a mixed experience although not due to honesty. I don't think I have ever bought anything on here only sold (although I may be reminded! ) Most buyers were great however one negotiated me down on lens and went as far as taking my bank details and thats the last I heard of him! We had agr...

Lightroom demo/wildlife talk at club
And that is the fault of the weekly, fortnightly and monthly competitions on this site, they have to be taken within that timeframe. ( Actually I think that way is correct. If you look at the average age of the members in the club I went to and then add the fact they have been doing photography for...

Photographing through prison van windows
If you think of the tint as a ND filter there shouldn't be a problem. You just need to isolate the flash from the lens, dial up the flash to max, dial up the sensitivity. I think a rubber lens hood should do it and with the camera and flash on manual. So a vintage rubber hood, a manual focus fast...

Electrical Safety - Product Recall
As that recall was in 2007 - if anybody still has a dodgy one - they have probably discovered the fault first hand by now :shock: Yes, I realised it was an old advisory, but I thought it worth mentioning again as it was related to Pentax. Others might find the rest of the Electrical Safety Council'...

Film Photography SUCKS... but is Awesome anyway
Very interesting. I gave away my two film SLR's a couple of years back and now I'm starting to wonder why...... I might just buy a cheap old Pentax and give it a go. Cheers David

Film Photography SUCKS... but is Awesome anyway
I currently have a half-dozen 35mm cameras. About once every 4 months I get an itch to go out shooting without the instant gratification offered by shooting digital. Shooting film is a total change of pace for me. It requires more planning and a degree of patience; both of which I forget seem to fo...

I have trimmed mine back to just Circular Polarising and ND Graduated.

Filters
Filters have become less important with the advent of Photoshop and HDR photography so using them is becoming more about what you prefer...getting the shot as good as possible in-camera or trying to make a not so great shot into a good one in photoshop, that debate's already ongoing so lets not star...
