Shipbucket

It looks like a new p.c., as its beginning to crash again, and once it begins it becomes more and more fast at doing so; I've got a mate coming around tomorow to see if its worth saving, so I'm out of it for a while (though I can still use my lap top a bit - orrible things )

Sorry to read that I'll hope your friend can fix your pc

Sounds awful (and bit like some kind of epidemic - first ALVAMA, then You). Hope it will be fixed soon!

Lucky me; I have a mate who is a head of IT, and last night he more or less rebuilt my p.c. with a a new drive and loaded Windows 7. Now I have to learn how to use Windows 7 Watch this space for an old codger swearing

Congrats and welcome back
P.S. I don't know if you use Paint but if enjoy the new Paint (I'll reckon you got the new Paint!).

It took me a while (and much swearing) to get used to windoes 7 and the new paint, but eventually I got it. You'll get it too. I actually like the new paint better now. I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks sometimes.

Windows Vista -> Windows 7 is a nice change. Vista is actually very bad. XP was great but it has too many security issues nowadays to really be viable. You will get used to Win7... just like I am about to have to get used to Windows 8!

Thanks chaps, and I'm gradually working my way around it. My main gripe is that the items (in folders) cannot be viewed as images, so I click on them to reduce then sort of peer at the tiny image at the bottom of the screen. Also, I copied my saved Shipbucket working folder back onto the drive, and then it began deleting individual folders on the stick for no apparent reason, so now I'm re-saving back onto the stick, weird, or what?

You should be able to set the icons in each folder to thumbnails. It's easier than peering at the little image.

Back to square one; after new hard drive, and having Windows 7 installed the p.c. is now crashing again; I'll stay here until it goes again - should be soon
