I spoke to a techie today who laughed and told me my symptoms...smart ass! So it's going into his shop tomorrow as he says it's an easy fix...double smartass, and it'll cost between £25&£45 the other alternative is a new PC which will cost a lot more. I should have grabbed it quick when the wife suggested it, but I'm too honest, stupid but honest.

thanks for all the help.

Here's an update;

Last night the update popped up again so I thought I'd let it run. 15 hours later it was still I think? Running. It had been stuck on 91% for a good 4 hours when I lost it and switched off. When I switched back on my PC went into a cycle of start up screen going into the windows logo saying something like attempting to return to previous version, it flashes up and off so fast I don't get time to read it before it switches off then returns to the start of the cycle. Can I sue Microsoft?

Any help with how I can get out of this cycle would be a god send

Bill, as your long term friend and sometime collaborator, I agree with all you said, but I want to expand on a few things; firstly I've always looked at Chordie as a musicians site not just string twangers union. Secondly and probably most importantly, when I started out as a solo ( when Elvis clocked out ) all the clubs I played at had an organist and drummer, most were OK some were rubbish. As the 70s became the 80s clubs found they couldn't afford an artist and backing music, so we had to resort to the hated drum machine, then backing tapes which cost a fortune and inevitably stretched and sounded awful.

I have noticed on a more happy note that groups are having a resurgence locally, I've seen 2 bands in the last month and they seem to be getting a good turn out. Funny thing is they all seem to be crumblies my age 65 or older....rock on Tommy

thanks for listening

It's on my PC ready to upload. Just need 5 minutes to get around to it. Thanks glad you like it.

A little known fact, Guy Fawks committed suicide by jumping out of a window at the tower of London while on the way to his execution! That didn't spoil their fun though, they still hung him, disemboweled him then cut him into quarters and displayed the bits at the 4 corners of the country! What would they have done if he'd succeeded?
Is there such a thing as an honest politician? They're all millionaires that are robbing us to make more millions for themselves.

sounds like mac is a bit marmite; you either love it or hate it, me; i'm just a lawn mower, you can tell me by the way i walk, genesis

Yep looks like I'll have to the bullet for the present and switch to Mac when my 4 year old passes it's sell by date! It actually crashed last night which is why I uninstalled W10 update. The only question now is...is it worth the wait Rog?

Someone's definitely cooking kippers ( that's the smelliest fish could think of) put the post into your bin and forget it.

When saw the header Glen Campbell I thought oh no! I was hoping it wasn't bad news, so glad it wasn't. Glen was a session musician before he got famous and played on many of the big hits of the day including a stint with the Beach Boys. It's such a shame about his dementia. thanks for putting this up I also listened to Dueling Banjos while I was there. Splendid.

i'm not sure if i can do this, but....

my wife has found this website called "wish" (roger, please delete if not allowed), which sends daily emails selling all kinds of stuff at dirt cheap prices, they all come from china! i had a capo, one of those new ones that cost a fortune for £2+p&p, a set of 12 strings which were also very cheap and about 50 picks that cost just £1+p&p. sounds like a bargain, returns cost a fortune though, not that you'd return picks?
