i don't know if you've seen this article about the spyware in windows 10

http://bgr.com/2015/07/31/windows-10-upgrade-spying-how-to-opt-out/

it's an old NP300E.

they must have sorted out the touchpad. whenever my hand went near it the computer would generate spurious characters.

i don't know if you've already got your full complement of ram but it's reasonably cheap to upgrade it nowadays. the first computer i built cost me £400 for 16Mb.

i had that problem on win7 but don't remember uninstalling samsung easy settings - maybe microsoft keyboard update put the kibosh on it?

if your touchpad is like mine you might want to download touchfreeze. it stops the keyboard typing by itself.

i also put another 4gb of ram (£25 approx) and that sped the machine up quite a bit.

"Windows 10 stopped the Fn keys working on my laptop"

do you mean the function keys or the manufacturers use of the function keys?

i had to download something from samsung to get the extras on the function keys working.

i vote for number 2 as well.

unfortunately, when any of mine had that look it usually had something to do with wind.

hello and welcome.

i haven't been here long myself. 

thank you.

sorry i took the easy option.

thank you.

if you bring out a song with the title 'start me up', maybe you should consider if your best years have gone.

fuzzyedges and KateW: thanks for the welcomes.

chris: i suppose its better they broke up when they did. i've seen quite a few bands that hung on and shouldn't have.

thanks for the welcomes.

judy: why i (missing?)

thanks for the welcome.

more music related than photographic - john, paul etc

thanks for the kind welcomes.

phil: thanks for the help with my little problem.  

hello

i used to take snaps on and off since the 80's but now would like to take photographs.

this seems a nice place to learn how to improve my photography.

best regards
