lmagna Posted September 22, 2019 Share #1025 Posted September 22, 2019 I agree with W7 being a superior platform in MANY ways and it never seemed to fail to do what I wanted done. But this year I was forced to replace my personal computer and of course it was only available in W10. I could have formatted everything and retrofitted 7 but resigned myself to really learning 10 instead of having to relearn some of the functions every time the kids needed help with their laptops. (My wife, like me was/is running on 7. She is not the last in the house, at least on her downstairs computer) The thing I hate the most about 10 even after all this time, (Several months) is that from time to time their updates change the way I like to do things to the way THEY want it done! This can even sometimes include my lock screen and desktop! It is VERY irritating to say the least.

Linux is good but depending on the flavor, it can be a "hair-puller) to set up.

Also,I don't know if you guys know but by January 20, 2020 Windows 7 stops receiving support and updates. Win10 does have issues due to the way they feed out their un-tested updates to any other than paid-corporate accounts. And... the problems seem to be scattered for some reason in that they seldom hit everyone. As for Win7... it will continue to security updates much as XP did and occasionally still does. Which from where I sit looking at all the Win10 problems, they take my Win7 only from my cold, dead hands. As for continuing this, I suggest that OC open a topic in Shore Leave for more help. popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood, lmagna and 3 others 6 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter, you can still use it, just be careful to keep your antivirus up to date. I'm still running XP with no issues including no security issues. My wife's Win 7 system has not received any updates since MS tricked the world into installing the Win 10 upgrade. Backing the upgrade off screwed up the update installer and now you cannot even manually install updates. Nor can we restore it to the last backup point. So her laptop will remain Win 7 and mine will remain XP until the hardware becomes unrepairable.

lmagna Posted September 23, 2019 Share #1038 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Hi Jack I had the same thing happen to my Windows 7/Dell at about the same time and ended up having to go through all of the update history and delete them all the way back to the oldest failed update, I forgot which one it was, but it was a ways back. Then I let it update again and kept looking for updates manually until it was fully up to date. It was a LONG and drawn out boring process but it restored my computer's ability to perform automatic updates in W7.

Old Collingwood Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share #1043 Posted October 11, 2019 Hi all, I managed to get on the pearl at the table today, firstly I decided to strengthen the stays by pulling back on the mizzen, firstly I ran a stay from the mizzen tops and back down bulkhead - this was tied of and darkened to match the same shade as the other stays, I was then going to contiue making the rats for the upper mainmast. But I had to stop as I have developed pain well more like a tingling and hot and cold sensation in my right hand, I will have to learn to build using my teeth (LOL). So that was it no pics as my mobile cell phone camera is sick at the moment and doesn't want to take pics - poor thing it is over ten years old. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share #1046 Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I'm Back I recharged my batt's and found my mojo - I decided to get out on the table just what I needed to continue on the Pearl, this wasn't much just a few tools etc, I got the pearl out of the display case (still with a layer of dust - but guess that adds to her ghostly look). After checking were I add left off - I picked up with the rats going up the main tops, this I did both sides - same procedure of fine sowing thread wrapped round each then a dab of ca before trimming each end. I then moved on to the main top shroud rats starting both sides. It actually didn't feel that different and I picked up quite easily. Its good to be back. OC.
