Nice to be here. I have tended to not sign up to computer forums as I find the tech speak hard to deal with; I'm not that PC savvy TBH.
But.................... I recently moved to Windows 7 from XP which I had used happily for years and problems seem to have been non stop.
So tonight my laptop won't load Virgin webmail where it will load on my PC and another laptop. This has been going on for days and I just don't get it.
Also I had hundreds of pictures on an external HDD but when I plugged into my recently installed W7 it said the drive was corrupted. I have no idea how to recover them. I followed some suggestions I found online but it looks like the control on the drive is a goner.
Also I have a so called gaming PC (but it is not very high powered) which I upgraded to W10 and the picture would not fit the screen; either too big or there was a border. I couldn't get it to just fill on the screen so I went back to W7. All was fine so I tried fitting a better graphics card hoping it would be OK when I go to W10 again but then W7 wouldn't fit properly on the screen.
So I began to feel out of my depth cos nowt seems to go right since W7. And here I am.
