Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
I will buy an SSD and do a clean install on it in the coming weeks, i always have Windows 7 to fall back on though, but i couldn't pass up on the £14.99/£24.99 deal!

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Yup - it took ages for me to get mine.
I eventually sorted my issues - it was the printer driver that was causing the problem.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Just been out to Scan computers in Bolton and purchased a better sound card than my on board realtek. The drivers for windows 8 don't seem to like the on board card and i have fitted a new creative labs card instead. The difference is remarkable especially for me as i have to wear hearing aids.
