[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 6288202, member: 89838"] OK, I had to buy a new machine (which is why I've been quiet the last few days--wasn't that nice?) Came with Windows8. So I had to look up where to go to unhide the file menus to unhide the view menu to unhide the toolbars and sidebars that I use absolutely all the time. Who thought that was a good idea? (I know, they wanted tablet and "smart" phones to have maximum real-estate--let them choose to hide these things rather than make people struggle to find them!) Had to find an updated version of PCDeCrapifier to strip out most of the useless, well, crap that comes with the system. Naturally, just running basic installs and software updates also brought on some pop-up malware that I had to get rid of. After 10-30 minutes, I just have to walk away from the whole thing. So it has taken me several days to get this system up to snuff, and that's with having already backed up 99% of my files and settings. Next time, can we just update Windows XP? [/QUOTE]
