I have tried several "fixes" all to no avail and uninstalled several times , still the same result. It appears I am not alone reading the various forums. I do still have a version 4 which is antiquated but appears to still function but I am still "well pissed off"

Anyone else use windows messenger ? I use it allthe time ....or did ! until yesterday. Tried to log in and was presented with a request to update to version 9. Option to say NO but it isnt allowed !!. After trying half a dozen times unsuccessfully to load the program I am now left with zilch. restoring always comes up with same request when loging in. I get the error message 8000404 every time.

This subject swiftly leads me to think that it would be really great if SRS started stocking other makes. They already stock Nikon, so why not Canon and Sony too?
We would have all under one roof the possibility to try and choose the systems we wanted. We already have great service from them and top notch staff who are very knowledgeable.
The shop next door to SRS has just become vacant and as far as I remember it has a basement too, I think Chris would really do well if he took over and expanded the premises taking over that shop, and turning the basement into a nice lovely studio too. We could have a photoshoot studio there, and makeshift premises to run some tests and even run some nice little presentations and setups. Who knows a few coloured smoke puffs and water droplets learning sessions too.
If he does that I would gladly offer a drinks cooler for the members there
Chris, what do you think? Would you at least give this idea a thought?
Sounds an excellent idea . I am not sure if a retailer has to guarantee to take a certain ammount of stock though before he can become an Agent , perhaps Chris will enlighten us. Don't forget it would have to be a comprehensive range of extra products for each brand if Chris was to give the same service and together with the added costs of the extra premises it is really a matter of "doing the sums"This subject swiftly leads me to think that it would be really great if SRS started stocking other makes.

Which reminds me ..I just missed out on saving £100 on my K7 set up through being too impatient.C'est la vie.

I am suprised with all these problems that Pentax have sold any K7s at all and that current owners haven't sent theirs back demanding a refund.
Me ? I just go out take some pics I like and dont worry about blowing them up to some ridiculous size in order to see all the flaws.
Bit like with my music and Hi Fi system..I would rather listen to the music than strain my ears trying hear any hiss and crackle and then spend a life time trying to get rid of it.
Rant over !

Ironically then, we always end up buying Sony TVs as they have the best picture quality.
Panasonic is another excellent choice.

I have to say, I am still with my 32" Sony CRT and neighbours often comment on the quality of the picture. Good aerial and on hill does of course help Ironically then, we always end up buying Sony TVs as they have the best picture quality.
