bob

how are you getting on?

maybe start a thread in the currys subforum?

re soga, i would've thought that a pc sold 'ready' should be able to undertake basic general pc use including internet etc without seizing up? so long as its not due to a particular adverse third party software or a virus for eg. and, in any event they should at least take it in to have a look at without charge? if it is faulty, then isn't their '21 days' irrelevant?

see what others think

If you were close to where i live, i would fix it for you. But since it is quite obviously the retailers problem now, please dont let them walk all over you. The system is clearly not functioning as described, and they seem to be simply palming the responsibility off onto you and the manufacturer.

renegadeimp, I've already uninstalled it from there, and I'm going to reboot the PC as I've removed a load of other programmes I don't use.

 

I have a minor keyboard drag which needs sorting out next, then I have another PC which needs unlocking, it is quite an old one but still works well.

 

I'm off sick with a hacking cough today, already had two lots of inhaler to help clear my throat, think I got the bug off my great nephews and great nieces....

Use that money and hunt around. You can get a much better one for the same money. Try and stay away from pcworld. They overcharge on EVERYTHING.

 

Congratulations on getting your money back in full. Dont hesitate to come back for advice if you need it :)

Should easily get a barebones i3 system for 250. Wont be super powerful, but its enough to use MS office, the internet and play facebook or miniclip games.

Is it anything to be concerned about?

Hi Bobcat2,

 

The issue relates to storing of event data, so I dont think I would have been worried about this one, unless you are developing a .NET application?.

 

And if your system is running alright, I think you can safely ignore it
