New computer going back to the shop

TheCatWoman

Sorry if anyone finds my tech problems boring, you can just stop reading and do something else.

I tried my new computer again this afternoon and I still can't get on with it, even simple things like changing the font size seem to be non existant as well as turning the sound off, I dont' want horrible noises being played to me all the time, especially when it's bombarding me with things like store your stuff on cloud, sync up your other devices. I ended up telling to it eff off and I don't have any other effing devices.

It did let me on here though which is an improvement, I can't get rid of the automatic spell checker either, I'm sure it makes the keyboard not recognise random letters just so it can give me a red wiggly.

  • I understand your frustration. I bought this laptop off the guy I'd used for 7 years and it won't load Windows 11 updates - which is why I bought it. I am so annoyed it appears he's been overcharging and overselling me for years. It's so hard these days to find someone honest and reliable.

    Curry's are not so good now [despite all those annoying adverts] and they do repairs off site, so you don't know who is doing what. I dislike buying any new technology now - they are being far too clever rather than selling goods that customers like us want - ie to replace old with similar new. My heart sinks whenever I buy a new kitchen appliance, instead of looking forward to it as I used to do.
