let me guess - you've got windows 8?
Hello Cowboy1
If you have Windows 8 it really is a brilliant system as long as your IQ is over 1 000 000, (only joking) NOT when you gain access to the desktop APP its a APP with desktop written on it, click on it and the installed server will pop up on the screen type in the search box who you want for your Home Page there are many to choose from my home page is with Talk Talk, they are good not shining bright good but the system is easy to use and they rectify faults quickly and efficently as they supply my telephone communication also I am pleased with the service provided. once you have a home page go back to the search box and choose your search engine provider, I use INTERNET EXPLORER, its also a very good easy to use package and does exactly what it says on the tin, It gives a brilliant very expansive and highly detailed access to the net, there are others but I happen to think IE is the best for me, GOOGLE provides a excellent route to the colossal amount of knowledge out there and if you download GOOGLE EARTH, you will be able to see what your house looks like from across the road???????????????/ never could understand why people do that? but you will need EARTH if you want to use FLIGHTRADAR24 ,this will give you endless joy or boredom in my wifes case , as you sit tracking all the flights anywhere in the world,Oh and dont be scared of the APPS once you crack the user friendly page after page of help and assistance you will wing it,, GOOD LUCK,,"my wife said tell you you will need it" Luck that is but take no notice mate, if a old thicko like me can master it anyone can.
If you need to contact me my profile is there under my profile????sorry its getting late type in the search box PARKINSONS UK FORUM and your in Fed
Hello Cowboy 101
I have just read my post to you and I feel I owe you an appology sir, I was trying to inject a element of lightheartedness and fun into what can be a very serious subject when I purchased my Lenovo laptop about a month ago it was my first encounter with APS , and I thought they were C..P , so please dont think I am attempting to sound superior as you could not get further from the truth in fact I can be rather thick when the mood takes me and sometimes get frustrated when I cant get the best out of any machine I use, when I was working I used to drive or Operate is the correct term , Excavators of many varied types and sizes 8ton to 48ton and if I was instructed to open a trench 2MTRS deep by5MTRS long then that is exactly the tolerances I gave to the men I was working with plus or minus 2mm or 4 on a bad day, you may wonder why I am prattling on about my career in muckshifting well its this, , each machine I operated I had to learn how to do so safely and efficently as you can kill very easily if you are not up to speed and show a very very high level of competence now I am not saying you are going to kill someone because your not fully competant with your computer, though you may feel like it when the b....y thing starts playing games and takes the huff as they do OFTEN all I am trying to say is relax and enjoy Windows8 its very well thought out as you will see its almost idiot proof I have that title cornered when it comes to computers , if I am having difficulty when my Grandkids are visiting one or more will say " dont do it like that grandad try this" they all do it my eldest is Joe 17 then Jane 15 , Christopher 11 , Mathew 10 and last but by no means least little Joshua,10 they are all light years ahead of me and know PCs inside out thats because I gave them a couple of my old computers which had minor faults mainly software orientated, and told them to find out and fix the problems and update them to run with VISTA I also mistakenly offered £20 to the first to find and fix the faults I am down £60 , that will learn me not to take on youngsters when assessing computer literacy. hope this sets the record straight Cowboy101, good screen name by the way.
Kindest Regards Fed
A computer's operating system or processor is one of the most important thing that you would need to consider when getting a computer.
