The next time that you have a proiblem with Windows 7 (Also works in Windows 8 Developers Copy)
Why not use a tool that's already built into the operating system to solve your problem ???

Win7's built-in Problem Steps Recorder





How do I use Problem Steps Recorder?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/How-do-I-use-Problem-Steps-Recorder

Video demo of how to use this function:

Here's the information you'll need to set up a shortcut on your desktop:





Next time you run into a re-occurring problem, give this a try and become a Computer Guru.

I don't allow BitTorrent on my computer and this wants access to Facebook and all my friends etc ???
No way. That's like letting the fox into the hen house because the fox said it's going to be a good boy.  :(

No way do I use BitTorrent on my computers nor do I use any Facebook apps as they leak private information:

I do use Bit Torrent. If you play World of Warcraft, as I have been doing since 2005, you have no choice as their updating and patching system uses the bit torrent protocols to download. You get part of the files from their servers and part from other players who have already downloaded it. I also use uTorrent on rare occasions when it's the best or only way to get something I want. I have encountered bad files but my AV of choice at the time has always detected the bad parts. Avast is particularly effective for bit torrent protection. I did register a long time ago for a Facebook account but I haven't used it in a few years.
