OK, I just came up with the most epic idea for a thread. Basically, everytime someone on here needs help with something, and I mean, anything, Post in here, and a geek will come and "rescue" you from your "geeky crisis", this being geek world and all. Hehe.

So, whether it be from Computers to social encounters, ask a geek, and they may save you. :P

Anyway I'm in need of a geek: I want to upgrade windows from inside windows if you get my drift. As in, I want to use the "Install now" thing on the Windows 7 disc to upgrade my current version of Vista to 7, but I need to know if it'll take out all my programs before I do it, so I can make arrangements. Ta =]

I take it you'll wait 4 days until the Release Candidate (i.e. final beta) of 7 is released on May 5th before bothering? It's free for a year if you decide to hang onto it...

I haven't done what you're intending, but you may be lucky. Just plan on not being and make sure you have good backups first. Oh, and if you're still dual booting to Ubuntu 9.04 don't expect that to boot again after the upgrade without some serious fiddling.

I need to install the final version of 9.04 anyway so thats no bother, cheers anyhow =]

It won't remove your programs but good luck upgrading it to the full version once it's out because Microsoft are being incredibly stingy with BETA to RC to Full Release upgrading.

If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend both backing up your files (with an external hard drive) and partition your main hard drive. I assume you have done this since you've mentioned Ubuntu. Then just fresh install Win7 to its own section and move everything over. I really wouldn't recommend completely overwriting Vista at all. If anything goes wrong, and bare in mind it's still a limited-time unfinished OS, you'd be up shit creek.

I've just started using Firefox, i've been told it is much more reliable. Is there a way of uninstalling my old internet explorer for the sake of space?

You can, but then other programs will not work correctly (unless there is away of sorting that out I don't know of any yet), windows live is one.

as i have sorted my open office issue, maybe there could be a hidden help area for people to post for help, that cannot be viewed when not logged in to save people asking the same thing over & over again.

one thread for firefox, one for itunes, one for open office & one for virus issues etc to keep it organized.

Thing is though, this is a Scott Mills forum, there are other forums specifically for technology-related problems where there are likely to be more people who can help. Google is usually a good place to start with a computer problem as it's likely someone else will have had it too.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.

      I remember hearing Amy first on Scotts show and she was great on that, the daft quiz questions always made me smile. It's really nice to see the hard work has paid off for them all.

      Actually the worst tends to be those who comment on Radio Today news stories. People who haven’t listened to younger oriented radio stations in years who say things like “who?” about any job going to any presenter aged younger than 50.

      Ahhh very happy for Amy - that’s very well deserved! I didn’t hear their final show but are Matt and Mollie keeping Helena? Hopefully she might be the main producer of their new show!
