Okay i get the computer back turn it on start goin you know through files to see whats new and improved,anyways it had w media 6 installed so i now had windows update so i dl'ed the media seven player once installed it showed marylin manson files in the media library?
And not to seem overly concerened i replaced the battery for my system clock cause evrytime i booted the time was wrong so i changed the battery and told it what drivers to use and it still does it?Was i ripped off by technicall flunkies at compusave?or do file naturally linger(lol)after formatting?
Thanks for putting up with me
They upgraded rather than format, like previous posts have said. It's a common practice to pull things over on the end user. If you changed out BIOS battery and get these drivers issues, sounds like they forgot to update some drivers for a few things. It's probably still using old win95 drivers left over from the upgrade. I'm not a big fan of M$ upgrades, they always seem to leave some crap on the system you don't need. Either take it back and tell me them to "format the disc" and "install a clean version of win98" or find all the drivers on the internet and do this yourself. I'm not knocking comp places, but the local one in my area charges $160 to install any windows version on any computer. It's amazing how much these places charge. These are the same places that charge you $32 for 64MB of RAM when you can buy it online for only $1. Go figure....:rolleyes:
