I have a couple of nagging questions for any & all of the great 'puter gurus here abouts. Please read whole post so as not to miss a word. :beg: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: I have just bought a new laptop. It is an Asus X75A with Windows 8 (upgraded to 8.1), DDR3 1600/1333 MHz SDRAM, On Board Memory 6 GB , 1 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion up to 8 GB SDRAM, Intel® Core™ i5 3210M Processor @2.5 GHz. has Bluetooth, wireless HDMI, 2x 3.0 usb + 1 2.0 usb, SD card reader & Blueray / CD reader/writer. I am very happy for the most part but not to happy with the APPs
First question:- Is it possible to set this up (if so how) so that there is no stare, & login page. I am used to turning my 'puter off @ night but hate having to sign in every time. ( I don't even do this on my phone) Also I have the latest editions of the programs IE, Adobe reader etc.
second, I have been trying find websites to download music but all of them want me to download some sort of toolbar & also say that I need to upgrade flash player but when I click on upgrade Flash player it comes back & says that I already have the latest edition. I want nothing to do with Apple & it is a must that I can find places that I have to pay for the music! I am a retired drummer & won't download freebies. My other problem is that I have no credit cards(& don't want any) but it is difficult to find anyplace (other than eBay)that uses PayPal. I have found a fabulous site in Britain (https://www.notnowmusic.com/label/one-day-music.html) but there again they do not use PP so I have to find an album then do a search on eBay & hope someone has it. Thanks for putting up with this old broads long winded query. It is the first ? that I am the most interested in. The rest will probably sort itself out. Cheers Ange :music2: :music2: :Egyptian: :Egyptian: :yahoo:
