I'm rather annoyed that I am being forced to upgrade to Windows 10. In my updates it says install Windows 10 which I don't want to do. I'm happy with Windows 8.1.

I have set up my new Computer and am trying to play Audio CD's. However it keeps coming up with "There is an unsupported CD in Drive D" It's a Dell Inspiron 23. Can anyone help?

Well unfortunately spoke too soon. Sometimes I can play videos and other times it just sits there. Tried Internet Explorer and videos play fine.

Thanks that worked.

Is anyone having trouble with Youtube videos? All I get is the spinning wheel and then the message a error occured try again later.

Another question. Say I either install Libre Office or Open Office. I want to send an email with an attachment say a letter. I have done it in one of the two above. The person I am sending it to has Microsoft Office on their computer. Will they still be able to open the letter, edit it...

On another topic I have been watching Youtube videos on Windows 8.1 and have decided to install the classic shell so I get my Start menu back. I always want the computer to boot to desktop so will configure it to do that as well. Will probably be setting it up tomorrow instead. Going out to...

I think I might go for Libre Office. All I want to be able to do is access my documents without having to spend money. So there's another problem sorted. Thanks everybody.

Is there anywhere I can buy Microsoft Office on a disc?

When I was testing the computer to make sure it worked ok I saw it and wondered if it was the same. When I got my very first computer I remember Microsoft Office disk came with the computer and you just installed it.

Hi everyone, Merry Christmas. Hope you all have a good day. Tomorrow I am wanting to set up my new computer with Windows 8.1. I have Microsoft Offce 2003 documents on this computer. Is Microsoft Office 365 (I think that's right) compatible with Microsoft Office 2003? Thank you once again.

Right I have tried to Firefox Sync on another account on this computer. I've got my History and bookmarks. The only thing I cannot figure out is how to get my Tabs from this session. How do I get my tabs back?

Great Now all I need to do is back some more stuff up and soon be ready to go.

Does Firefox Sync update with every session or just the one that was synced?

I wouldn't be without Adblocker. It annoys me however when I have to disable it to watch catch up programmes.
