If I had been out the room at the time it would of quite happily rebooted itself and lost my game, Its now off, but I still get intrusive popups, bubbles and other nonsense, not to mention now bubbles that appear behind the task bar, (don't ask) which is about as useful as a can of empty paint, which kind of sums up windows really. good news is that I have now managed to fix my printer, case of deleting entries in the database for apt, so it ignores the fact it wants to be reinstalled, which I could not do as it would not let me, or let me remove it, I them manually deleted the program files, (I just need to test the scanner now) So I am back to using a proper operating system, rather than a pile of garbage from somewhere in NW US of A.
