I tried the normal way to install it but it wont if theres a windows window open.Which has to be to use the control panel.Do i need to reset my whole laptop? I am running win10 on top of it lol James Dear James Unfortunately, once you have sold your soul, any remorse is too late. If your laptop originally was a W7, you can back up all the files, that you want to keep, like spreadsheets, documents, addresses, mail, paintings, pictures, etc., onto a removable USB hard drive or camera chip, double and triple check to make sure you got everything, then contact the maker of that machine and ask how to do a factory reset. That will nuke everything and put the machine back to the way it was, when it left the factory in China. Good Luck! Have FUN!

_____________________________________________ >From Ellen A woman in our diet club was lamenting that she had gained weight. She'd made her family's favorite cake over the weekend, she reported, and they'd eaten half of it at dinner. Her husband teased her and said she would never be able to stay away from the other half until dinner the next night. The next day, she said, she kept staring at the other half, until finally she cut a thin slice for herself. One slice led to another, and soon the whole cake was gone. The woman went on to tell us how upset she was with her lack of willpower, and how she knew her husband would rub it in. Everyone commiserated, until someone asked what her husband said when he found out. She smiled. "He never found out. I made another cake and ate half!" ______________________________________________ A hot shot East Coast newspaper reporter was on assignment in Arkansas, when he struck up a conversation with a young lady in a bar. After a half dozen drinks, he suggested they get their own bottle and retire to his motel room, and she readily agreed. "Say, how old are you anyway?" the reporter asked as the obviously young lass was disrobing. "Thirteen," she replied with a shy smile. "Thirteen ??? My God, girl !!! You get those clothes back on at once at get the hell outta here ! Are you crazy ?" he thundered. Pausing briefly at the door as she left, the perplexed nymphet smiled and said, "Superstitious, huh ?" ______________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
