Hi David.
I also have a K10D, just upgraded to a K5, but still using the K10, as it’s a very good camera.
Try SRS for your K to 42mm adaptor.
Take care.

You can run most 32 bit software on a 64 bit platform (hardware and O/S), but you can't run 64 bit stuff on a 32 bit machine.
Windows 7 Professional will enable the use of older PC software, which might not work correctly on Win7, usingthe free Windows XP vurtual machine that can be downloaded from Microsoft.
When you have your new PC running as you want it, replace the HDD in the old machine and re-install it from scratch. Put the old HDD back into the old PC and copy everything from it into an archive folder on the new HDD or the new PC.
Follow my recommendation and you'll save yourself a serious amount of frustration.
I would hope that any PC that can be bought today running Windows 7, will be able to run Windows 8 when it's eventually released (my guess is it'll be when mum's and dad's are buying new kit for their little darlings return to school around September 2013).

I am on “XP” Media Version , and was thinking of may be replacing my computer, in the near future, as it is running very slow and the media part no longer works ?. (Never really understood the “media part).
But if there is a new operating system due out, should I wait.

Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional should be your preferred upgrade path, and if your PC is 5 or more years old and has 32 bit architecture, don't bother upgrading it, get a new 64 bit PC instead. Intel iCore 3, 5, or 7 CPU preferred with plenty of RAM, probably 8Gb minimum.Does this mean that “Windows 7” has run its course already.

Many thanks for information/advice.
If and when I upgrade, it will be a new PC together with a new operating system installed, as I do not have the necessary knowledge to do it myself.
Also I have no idea if it is a 32 bit ?.
All I do know is, that I was short changed on my present PC, it was supposed to be a dual core Intel processor, but when I had to ring the “Dell” service centre for advice once, and gave the serial number, I was advised it did not have a duel core processor. I forget the type of processor they said it has.
Take care.

Hello everyone! Here's something that might interest a few of you.
Microsoft recently announced that the Windows 8 Developer Preview is now available as a free download. If you have at least 20GB of free HDD space to play around with, we can then use VirtualBox to try this baby out.
What I was hoping was for some of the members here (myself included) to try out this new version of Windows which looks to be very promising. I know this is a Developer Preview, but that didn't prevent users from having a go at it. I know I did with Win7RC!
The main programs to test this out with, will be of course, the usual suspects: Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements, etc.
If you decide to go for it, tell use how it goes! Cheers!

Great shot, well timed.
I bet you have cancelled this sale now.
"For Sale: Golden Retriever, had for 9 months, has yet to retrieve gold. Should have just bought metal detector".
