MANEMAN Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 From "Pops" link:"Prevx apologised to Microsoft for "for any inconvenience" its earlier claims may have caused. The firm has issued a fix for the problem, which it says could affect "millions" of computers.

MANEMAN Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Tightrope Walker without a safety net eah ?You're a hard lot up there, not like us softy southerners. Acronis was the first install I done on 7 ! (I'm on XP at the moment, cant break old habits)7 has got inbuilt disk imaging. I haven't looked at it, just as I didn't with Vista. Dont think it offers any compression though.Not that interested really, Acronis or Macrium work fine.Here's a link andsome: http://www.shivaranjan.com/2009/05/20/wind...ws-7-partition/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANEMAN Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thanks all the same, but why would I need that when I have Acronis? Well...... To use up more Disk space, more DVD's, more, - everything of course !Microsoft dont just do half a job when they give something away free.("Let's give them disk imaging, - but 50 years out of date" ) Why do something smart, - like compress it like all of the other stuff on the market ?

AlanHo Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 My Windows 7 computer seems to be suffering from the black screen of death.Every time I close it down the screen goes black - and stays like it - until I reboot it.The only cure seems to be to leave it on all the time (but there is no mention of this solution on any sites I have Googled).
