As it turned out, I let it do it's thing, and there was nowt to remove.

Why the notification at all?

It's an emachines comp, but I took it as being a badge engineered effort...hence the warning.

oh well.

DC, I am an Apple fan, converted many years ago. I still use a PC for certain things, a Sony Viao laptop (Windows 7) which is so infuriating because of the number of viruses that try to trip it up, it is also very slow and generally pretty crap in comparison with an Apple computer. Apple is incredibly easy to use, my wife swore she would never use one, preferring a PC; it took just 3 days to convert her! I have an old desktop iMac G4 (2002) which I use for photography and printing and music, suits the purpose well but I cannot connect it to my newly installed fibre broadband, I expect it is too old to cope! My MacBook Pro is the most used computer along with an iPad. iPhones and iPods are also well used, so Apple have done very well out of this household! Apple products are not cheap but they are reliable and, as far as I am concerned, by far the best!

I found a couple of files from stinkingfish, but they deleted ok

Cheers Kim, A couple of questions - Will it be ok for moneyam ? Also will it link up to the Bt home hub ? Been talking direct to Apple . They will make one to order . So I can say ring in on the Monday and it be here next day. Like the chap said on the phone, dealing direct with us will give you the most up to date components, rather then purchasing from say the likes of pc world .

Yes to all that D/C, I have been banging on about Apple for years on here so it's good for someone else to have a go as well.

Cheers Stan. As I still have ''L'' plates on as to say for computer know how. :-))

I'll second Stan's post DC!

Sounds good kimoldfield. Just a bit concerned your Apple has not won the Ftse comp for you. :-))

It's just lurking, ready to pounce! :o)

lol

it's because kim's apple is covered in custard....dc.,.

2nd lol

hi guys

my XP is now too old and I am looking for a micro desktop of under £500 naturally with 64 bit, 4 or over GB and windows 8.1

any sugestion?

i bought recently an Acer Aspire laptop V3 571
small 13.3"with 6GB, window 8.1, very fast, though the mouse gets frozen once too often but recovers soon, otherwise very fast

Presumably you use CCleaner from Piriform and have used this program (and other housekeeping) to try to make sure, that what you do have, performs as fast and as well as it possibly can?

If so, go to their (Piriform's) Home page and look to download 'Speccy'. This little program will allow you to take a "specification" of your computer, which you should find quite useful.

Don't be too frightened of buying a used machine from somewhere like AVForums Classified. All PCs are a conglomeration of components from different manufacturers put together in a case. Obviously, do be careful, though.

Here's an example of what you could find. This one is £190. The Seller seems OK too and has 33 satisfactory deals under his belt:

Thanks - execLine

looking for a new desktop, not second hand or refurnished

This looks pretty good value towards the lower spec end - OPTIPLEX 3020 MICRO INTEL

Can anyone explain what an "unresponsive script" is and why I seem to get quite a few that bring the comp to a standstill till it's cleared and can I do anything about it. BB

Plenty here.

why didn't I go there....... lol thanks skinny

Are the " all in one " PC worth considering ?

Dell Inspiron One 2330 all-in-one PC
has good reviews with bundled - keyboard and mouse - it seems some people has problems with using the touch screen all the time in certain positions.
