    There is the story got my laptop three month back its the first one I buy new and only my second ever My first one was second hand from a friend. With everything already in place. A case of turn it on and away we go.
    I am not very tech minded. My new one is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1705 with Vista anyway my problem is everything I try to download or install with the exception of my poker sites and mozilla firefox is given me major headaches and coming up executive file error , unzipping problems or unable to excute
    My lastest problem is my printer installation its a lexmark X1270 ,used the installation disc that came the printer with but no joy first attempt little window box appeared saying was not install properly and offer a fix and re-install button, did this . and finish box which usually means you have been successful appeared . But cannot find it any where ,no shortcut box , not in all programs , recent changes or any drives.
    As I said I am not the most tech person, should I just give up and use the factory reset disc that came with laptop and then bring it to some whizz kid to just set it all up for me? will this cost much ?
    OR
    AM I just doing something simple and stupid wrong?
    Please help ..the dog cannot be kick anymore.......
    also if you are given advice or solutions please kept them basic or step to step
    Yes I AM THAT STUPID.........
    Thank you in advance to anybody who takes their to help this muppet

    This is not necessarily a laptop problem, sounds more like a Windows problem.

    Before I move it over to the Windows forum, you will need to give much more specific information, including EXACTLY what you are doing, EXACTLY what error you are seeing.

    Also, can you confirm that you are 100% certain you have no virus or spyware? If not, update your virus software and do a scan.
