I hope you guys have watched this:

Not yet. I downgraded my PC to Windows 10, and am still trying to fix the "no sound" bug

It won't be CA:Civil War but it should do fine.

BvS dropped further, 6th with $5.5 million.

Was not paying attention, had no idea a sequel to the huntsman was coming.

I will not update my laptop because of these kind of issues, that and I like the control I have of certain programs which changes in how 10 runs admin privileges.

I have installed it in several laptops and desktops with minimal issues, but nagging stuff like win10 not allowing the best driver for a wifi card and the speeds are stuck low . The worst was Windows 7 desk top that was only updated because it had a malware problem, they didn't want to lose data so we tried to overwrite the system with a new os to invalidate and remove. Worked to a point malware was gone, a week later all the old programs now called apps were conflicting. The auto update win10 insists on screwed things up more. Ended up re-setting win10 up, kind of genius, it reinstalls win10 this time removing all apps and setting, but keep all the data. Well almost email and browser will be deleted because they are stored in a system area. But it is still working without issue since then.

You've probably done this already but here is the step to restore sound (these guide can be good, but usually I find they are not what my problem is)
Good luck !!

Step 1: Right-click the sound icon in the taskbar located at the bottom right of the screen and select Playback Devices from the ensuing context menu.

Step 2: Select the current playback device in use and by default it should be the speakers. Double-click on it to open its properties window.

Step 3: Got to Advanced section and change the bit rate to either of the following - 24bit/44100 Hz or 24bit/192000Hz - depending on the speaker configuration.

If the issue is still unresolved, you can try another method for restoring sound:

Step 1: Launch Start Menu, search for Device Manager and then launch it.

Step 2: Expand Sound and audio devices.

Step 3: Right-click on the current sound driver and choose uninstall.

Step 4: Finally, click on Scan for hardware changes and the updated driver will be automatically installed.

Do NOT upgrade any programs anywhere until your computer will not be able to utilize what it has. I was told by the genius bar at Apple NOT to upgrade to the FREE El Capitan program because it has issues so I am still with my original OSX for 5 years and it works fine. Windows is a hassle to upgrade too as well over the years for those with that program. 'Simplicity' is the key to owning a computer.......just ask Hannibal Lecter: [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... EZsXFCV5QA[/video]

We'll see. Even without Will Smith, those nasty aliens and their technology are something that audience cannot take their eyes off of.

[bjmdds]

Broccoli has a cameo in it FBF as an alien microbe.

S v B : in its fifth weekend,brought in an estimated $5.5 million in the USA. It is now behind Zootopia. Internationally the film added another $8.3 million as its global cume is now over $850 million. It's about done in 2 more weeks. $900 million globally might never be achieved. They were PRAYING to top the $1 billion mark but that wishful thinking was ended quickly. FBF, pre-buy your CA tickets.

I tried both those. The bit rate thing didn't have the option I was supposed to select, and the other one just said "Downloading driver" for hours, but it was obvious that nothing was actually happening.

Microsoft crap. I'm trying to help someone with a dell get right drivers nothing works so far.

I owned 2 Dell lap tops and both went within 5 years and Microsoft's programs with massive updates that clog up the computer are a nuisance. That is why I went to the Macbook Pro and NONE of these issues exist. It is so simple to own a Mac but more expensive to buy. I would NEVER own any computer now other than a Macbook.

How easy was it to migrate? The main thing that puts me off Apple products, apart from the price, is my familiarity with the Windows environment, and the worry that my old programs and documents won't work.

[Omega]

Made a hackintosh once, pc laptop with a modified install disk to load Apple OS.

Most Windows documents can be used in the apple environment. Since you're a writer you may need to buy the MS office for Mac .
Video play back is ok, stuff I used for editing or repackaging wasn't available for Apple.

In a weird way the apple OS I played with was a lot like Linux os. It was nice and clean interface without a lot of clutter but I dunno just felt I couldn't do as much with it. This was a few years ago before Apple supported bluray play back.
IMO it's a situation where you really need to try the is out, Linux and Apple have made great strides to import everything Windows users need to get them away from MS.

Personally I'd love to buy a real Apple laptop, they cost too d**n much for something I'm not sure will do everything I'm doing now.

Katie also uses Mac .

I like the idea of Linux better than the actual experience of using it. I once worked in an all-Linux, Microsoft-free office, and while I liked the speedy boot up and the ability to actually spend more time working than staring at pinwheels and hourglasses, the non-standard nature of, well, pretty much everything eventually got to be a pain.

I only use a computer for web surfing, not business. I got used to it in 30 minutes and it is so simple to copy and paste, email, no virus scans to waste your time, very few updates, etc. I will NEVER go back to Windows or Dell computers.

that's true. Unbuntu Linux has made it better and more uniform. I use a Linux based on them. Easier to install apps, finally got a few programs that work for me but once again editing video and word processing is not that great. Open office is a nice idea but once you're used to Word is hard to go back.
