    Weird. It was probably a DNS issue if rebooting fixed it.

    The number of megapixels on the camera don't necessarily correlate to picture quality. They all usually do OK under natural lighting, but indoors, or in dim places the difference always shows up. I use a few of those cheap studio lights with umbrellas on them when I'm taking pictures of stuff I'm listing online. They make a big difference. The price has came down on them a lot too. I think I paid around $50 for 3 of them with the stands and bulbs on Amazon.

    Ive only got one win 7 laptop left and pulled out today. Not been on for a while. Taken a couple of hrs to set it up with updates and get the headphone dac, jriver and spotify to work with it.. Going now though. Its a bit slower than win 10 but works. Might be better to update it too but think i might leave it a while. Nice to see its still working

    One of my W7 PC's is quicker than the W10 one. All down to spec no doubt.

    I might have a look around for something even quicker though.

    Been using Glary Utilities free for some years, pretty good. About 3 months ago I got the Pro version, has a few more features, but a big bonus is that one can set it to autorun at a pre-set day / time. I have it run at 9:00 am every morning. My PC seems much better for this, as with the free version, I often forgot to run the program.

    Been using this for years. It works well, has loads of facilities and is free. It doesn't keep pestering you to upgrade to a paid version either.




    If you want an effective spyware finder. There's this.



    It's an old piece of software, but still works extremely well on every Windows O/S I've used.

    I never use any type of anti-virus software. I just reformat it if it's acting weird. I really only use Windows for image/video editing and games. I use Linux most of the time.

    Not tried Toolwiz Care before, might give it a go.

    Think I tried Onecllick Spyware Expert some time ago and it seemed good, but had a problem updating it.

    Yeah, the Cary program is good. Not tried that one Geoff. Cary is on one of mine. Been shuffling pcs yesterday as i was having an interuption in my streaming from the one i was using every now and then using jriver. Thought id bring the faster one down and try it here and put a slower one upstairs for evening browsing. Was a faff butwill give it a whirl for a while.
