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.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
