I am a PC repair tech. Scrap Windozzz and install Linux. Mint is good for ex-windoz users. Will run on 512 ram, no need to defrag, no anti-virus/anti-malware apps, no updates that break your system, virtually NO maintenance or bluescreens... and it's FREE!!! Open source OS, maintained and written by thousands of programmers worldwide, compared to the few hundred Micro$uck employs.

Only drawback is video games, very few run on Linux, unless you install WINE, which works fairly well, but not perfectly.

Might be some wireless network card driver issues, if the card is Broadcom. (Not Linux fault. Broadcom refuses to release it's drivers for open source modification.) Fixable if you can find the correct driver tho.

What in the h**l is wrong with the photo display in members pages? Some are fine, on the same profile, while others look like they were stretched wider side to side. Alternately, you could say reduced height.

They look awful! You can't see the pix well enough to tell if you want to message them.
