Its annoying with a scroll-mouse, and just plain crap with any pointing device without a scroll wheel.
It still pushes the vista “start menu”, with the annoying system of “wipe out the current set of start menu choices with whatever sub-menu you happen to pause over”. If you don’t like the vista “look and feel” then you won’t like w7. Towards the end of its life, vista was much better than when it was first released. Now that sounds worse than you might think. Despite what MS says, w7 really is vista 2.0. So, here is what i have found, both good and bad, but without getting into details that many people don’t care about. The owner had another laptop… The keys in the middle of the keyboard (clustered in a circle… About the size of a fist) were about 2 mm lower than the rest of the keyboard!Īll this made me think: there is probably a market for rugged laptops that can take some abuse… Both hardware, and some kind of self-healing software.Īt this stage, W7 is still very new, and after vista, most people are cautious about jumping in, in case w7 turns into another lame duck.

I needed to re-installing vista, and the customer asked me to re-install office 2007… But i found the CD was scratched… I couldn’t install office.It recently had its hard drive replaced by another repairer.

The CD/DVD drive would sometimes “disappear” from windows vista. The power button had “lost” its LED backlight. Some keys on the keyboard would sometimes not work. The power socket felt loose when the power was plugged in. On one occasion, I saw a laptop that obviously had a hard life. Occasionally, accidents happen, or laptops are mishandled, and they quickly start to look and feel “aged”. Most laptops are treated well by their owners. To the unscrupulous operator, its like saying: “please rip me off”. Oddly, customers are also to blame… I’ve heard many of my own customers say (almost as soon as i walk in the door), that they know nothing about computers. Of course, i wonder why another computer company doesn’t have the tools to diagnose a problem that should be relatively easy to find… But then, in the last 4 years, I’ve seen many companies shut down after a year or two, and others just take any opportunity to milk customers who know little about computers. I replaced the RAM, and after a few more tests, i found no more problems. 
A few more tests showed that only 1 of the 2 RAM sticks was consistently faulty. I ran a simple RAM test, and everything seemed ok until the test did a block move… then the test gave an error. Once problems continued, the customer asked if they know what the problem is, and they admitted they didn’t know what was wrong, and could only suggest a new computer.īack to the PC, i decided to eliminate any hardware problems. The second time, they imaged the drive to a new drive. Initially, they scanned the drive for infections, fixed corrupted files, did various updates.
While the scans are running, i ask a few more questions, and find that have tried twice to fix the problem.
Applications suddenly shut down, displaying various error messages.Ī scan with malwarebytes, can’t complete without some kind of lock-up. PIXELSTICK SHUTS OFF EARLY PC
Once on site, i would see the XP PC errors like: I was called out to a small company, as they seemed to be having ongoing computer problems.
Sadly, stories like these seem to be all too common.
