Oh, goodness don't call Nick a God. His head is already big enough! :P So, what about HNR? Do you think it'll have a bit of a difficult time fitting into this Armada stuff? I'm in that fleet the most these days so was just curious!


I think it will fit in nicely.. we are not that far from having a top tier starbase.
Its good enough for a Beta in someones fleet..

we can always cut away from that main fleet at anytime and take our gammas with us.

but we need our stonewall family's help first bumpy bumps

My nominations are in!

Some of them were hard for me to choose personally, but sending in the nominations themselves was super easy. Hopefully everyone does it so we can have that Pizza Party we were promised :lol:

a few members were wondering about starting another Beta fleet that was based in temporal mechanics... just saying. Wondering if the Gods [Nick, et. al] would approve.


At the moment, we have all the fleets necessary, I think.
Legion is still a little baby and needs feeding more and more to get our starbase levelled.

And this is a bump,

Help us bump bump!!

finally managed to get it to install , so far its ok ( ish) only thing i'm unable to figure out is Cortana ...she no want to talk to me apparently its not available in my region, but when i check it should work in UK... *bangs head on desk*


i spent the last few hours trying to fix that (and also loss of sound...and of course lots of "old" site tech using activex no longer work in Edge or firefox) UGHD!

anyway, rant over - for cortana - change ALL your settings (location, region, language, keyboard) to English US...then run cortana...set her up, then once she's up n running, change your settings back to English UK, should be ok then


Oh it got so much better after i did that, so eventually when she was installed she still didn't wake up , but i kept getting the screen that said "learn more" or "not interested" so i kept clicking "learn more" but kept being sent back to the start almost like in a constant loop, in the end i gave up and pressed "not interested" and WOW she started to install but at every stage of the set up process where i was presented with the option to "continue" or "cancel" i pressed "Continue" and it canceled it...so i went back and pressed "cancel" and it continued it......so long story short she is now up and running and we have a fabulous relationship... i still cant find away to change the "Hey Cortanta" to just simply "computer" but thats just my inner star trek geek :silly: :silly:


Or you could of clicked in the search box located in the Taskbar.
> When the Search window comes up, click on the Notebook icon on the left side of the window.
> click on the Settings icon
> There you'll find a switch button to enable Hey Cortana. Click on it to slide it to the On position

(I put this here just incase anyone else is having a problem finding her... like you & I.


ALSO......

I starting to get to like it.. after updating my drivers.. and sound.

However..

I normally put my PC to "Sleep" when im away from it... but when I go back to it, after a few hours.. I activate it.. the tower pumps into action.. but no display.
Just a blank screen like its dead.
The first time I paniced, thought my graphics card burnt away,, Finaly i found help online.. but its annoying, I have to take out the mains plug from the back of the tower.. and press the start up button several times to get rid of the electro currents that are still hanging around.

Plug it back in, and it works.

Its annoying as i like to rest the comp.. but now it looks like i have to shut down all the time :(

So I hate windows 10

I'm not really techy, so I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well, so I'll try my best.

So, my computer has a really weird quirk in that I had to set up a secondary desktop, not the one that is associated with my Microsoft/Hotmail account. In order for me to get on my computer, I have to go to open the secondary desktop, connect to wifi there, then log out of the secondary account and into my regular one. I can't connect to my primary account any other way because it won't do so without being connected to the internet, and my computer can't connect to wifi automatically.

So my question is, will I still have a log-on screen when I turn on my computer so I can log onto the secondary account?


(This is really weird. It took the tech folks at the university awhile to figure out what the problem was, they don't know why it is the way it is, and they say they've only ever seen one other computer like this.)

So now that so many of us have upgraded and had a few days to figure it out, what do you all think of the Windows 10 experience?

Personally, I'm missing the ability to snap Metro apps to the desktop. It was really easy and convenient way to keep my to do list app, Wunderlist, always present, visible and keep me on task. The new windowed Metro apps just don't work as well.

This will probably be heresy for most, but I really liked the full window Start menu in 8.1. One of the first things I did was set the start menu back to full screen, but tiles don't behave the same as they did. I'd suggest to everyone to give the full screen Start menu a try. Pin all your most used or even commonly used apps on there, organize them in a logical way, and give it a try for a couple weeks. It's so much more convenient than hunting for it in the All Programs list now.


Yup I turned off my start menu as well. I like the full screen Start Window. Plus you can find anything from it just by starting to type and even that now has upgrades. I am loving Win 10. (also don't use those Metro Apps (or even know what they are) and I don't snap windows too and fro like some of you other beasts do) Keep it clean Keep it simple.
