Thanks. :) I'll give it a week or so to settle my neurotic fear that it's all going to die, then get a cheap internal card. ...and a new router. :(
ps Had to reactivate Windows 8, so I guess it does think the hardware has changed. :(
I think this is a slightly odd story - certainly outside any experience I've ever had, and I've been around on the planet for quite some time. :)...
I used StartIsBack. Same principle, only £2. :) Since then I haven't looked back. I came to see that Win 8 is an evolutionary step up from Win 7,...
EA/Origin sour grapes. Announce to the world your prices will be higher and expect to storm the marketplace. Good luck with that. Steam's way...
What on earth is the point? I don't get this as an idea at all. An Amazon tablet makes sense as a consumption tablet - everyone associates Amazon...
Well, I have viewed the machine. I haven't messed with it - only went round and checked the stuff they asked her to check. Nothing seems loose and...
Thanks guys. Yeah, they have to honour the warranty - they're the people telling her to take things apart! Still, in general, the advice is good...
Just trying to pick some brains to help a friend not have to send back her brand new Scan PC. I specced it for her, but I've been flattened by...

Apart from anything else, this is an abject failure of game GMs and software houses. Maybe I've been lucky. I've only played one MMO (for 4...
Ring up Trading Standards/Consumer Direct. Products are supposed to last a "reasonable length of time", which has often been interpreted as 6...
@j-jay4 EU regulations states (something like) things have to last a "reasonable amount of time". There's nothing about 1 year, as I understand...
I love my Razer Carcharias! I've had them for 3 months and they're the nearest I've come to forgetting I'm wearing a headset. I had a Steelseries...
I ended up taking my credit card company to the Ombudsman (where they caved in instantly). This was in pursuit for a pro-rata refund for an...
I use it mostly for gaming (somehow my lofty aspiration that I'd spend as much time sensibly editing photos has never quite come true). I've...
I'll add my vote for Noctua fans too. Can't hear them at all. Shifts plenty enough air to keep my cool enough whilst being seriously quiet. (And...
