Hey, KayBay, Happy New Year to you.kaybayray wrote:Thank You PV,
Actually I have recently turned on the damage models, wounds and all that since I was getting the hang of flying within the flight model. However I have been flying with those settings for almost a year now with no issue until this started recently. There may also be something to what you are speaking of with respect to programs running in the background. I haven't really payed much attention to that as I have not had issues before. Perhaps you could give me some advice on settings to minimize system drain. Also I would greatly appreciate anything you can do to explain how I might check the background stuff and shut off what I don't really want running. I am not the most fluent computer user I just like playing games on them.
I will take a look at my system and see if I can figure out what all hardware I have and post it. I would still like to know if the buglog I posted shows any issues. Also anything you can explain or lead me to info on known system drain issues that can cause the problems I am having would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps I can check and see if I can find the fix to some of this there.
I am running Windows7 but I don't like it. It takes too much control of my computer away from me and it is hard to take it back. I have used XP since it came out and I like it because it is simple and I never had any problems. However I succumbed to the advice of one of the IT Techs at work and IMHO foolishly went with W7. Most of the problems I have had with my computer all started then. Not to mention that every software program seems hell bent on taking complete control of my computer to run their petty little programs.
Guess I am the only one in the Western Hemisphere that has no Cell Phone, Ipod, Ipad, Deskpod, Blackberry, Blueberry, Pillowpod, etc.... and I dont do Facebook or Myspace neither, and this cat don't Tweet... that's for the Birds IMHO.
Regards,
KayBay
Just thought I'd let you know that you are not alone about not having a Cell Phone, Ipod, etc, etc, etc. I haven't had any of those, and proudly let people know it, too! I agree about Win 7 as well. I had XP and was very happy, but foolishly "Upgraded" and do nothing but cuss at 7 all the time! But then I'm 81 yrs old, so what can you expect!
But the upside is the article I read last week that said that if you're over 75 that using Computers is one of the best ways of keeping your brain active and you're less likely to suffer degenerative brain loss, too! Who'd have thunk it?
Anyway, back to figuring out the Win 7 problems. See ya'!
