      Thats the plan
      I'm the forum administrator and I look after the theme & features, our volunteers & users and also look after any complaints or Data Protection queries that pass through the forum or main website. I am extremely busy so if you do contact me or need a reply to a forum post then use the email or PM features offered because I do miss things and get tied up for days at a time!

      If you spot any spammers, AE's, abusive or libellous posts or anything else that just doesn't feel right then please report them to me as soon as you spot them at: webmaster@all-about-debt.co.uk

        Reason I said was because I downloaded from same link to replace trial of Nitro Pro 9 that came with this laptop and all I got was reader despite it saying Adobe X1 and not Adobe Reader as has been the case before

Problem with latest build if you are using an old computer. Bios on new models will work. Mine won't. Tried hdparm to sort it out, but no. Currently running Ubuntu live cd to make use of laptop in dining room, will otherwise be sitting in cold office. Keep away fro 10 for time being!
              Finally got all my hard drives working again. To disable power up in standby, you need to boot into a Linux live cd, I used Ubuntu, go to terminal then sudo hdparm -iI /dev/sd? first command will show all the hard drive options with warnings. Then sudo hdparm -so /dev/sd? this will show that you have disabled PUIS. Hard drives back to life. Until Microsoft mess up again!
