    Get rid of Windows and get Linux. The Ubuntu version is great, it's faster than WIndows, and you don't really have to worry about viruses, spyware, or any of those security risks associated with Windows. Since it's open source, you don't have to worry about dodgy Windows hacks, or stealing a legitimate Windows key.

    Just as an extra i also have loaded on my pc (not that i use it often) Malwarebytes

    If by chance malware like a keylogger gets in the system, the adaware finds them but sometimes cant delete them, (when ppl say they chased a trojan around their pc for days they aint kiddin, the bloody things jump from file to file avoiding detection) Have found malwarebytes to nab em where others didn't !

    Ahhh the life ! Might do a back up and delete my virus protection just for the challenge lol

    Edit : Awww and i did notice you have a disc E there with massive amounts of space ? I take it that that would be an external drive where you keep business records etc ?

    If so, you have the amount of space on the pc that you don't need it othere than back up, i would keep that unplugged and have a file on your C drive that you can cut and paste into E, when your off line and know your pc is clean, once a month or something, so no gremlins get in there when you open a dodgy email and destroy business records ! Oh and back up your back up to disc now and then in case that fries also lol !

    Especially since your connection speed is a bit like pissing through a carbon nanotube

    If you want to get a little more techy, this site lists various components in Windows that you may be able to disable depending on your requirements. Not critical, but it can help boot times along and make things a little more responsive.

    Personally I would get measured for one. Avoid places like Rebel or Stirling sports and go to either a pro shop or a specialist club fitter.

    You do need to decide if you are after the older heel type or the latest half round versions that are becoming more common. Then you need to look at budget. If you are playing of scratch then you really need to invest a good deal of money to get the right length / head / weight ratio. A higher handicapper would not needs as much empahsis on this.

    But, whatever you do, try try try before you buy. It is an important club, games are won and lost if you dont have the right kind in yout bag. Anyone can drive a ball 300 metres but the game really starts when you are 100m from the hole, and it would be such a shame to drop vital shots because you didnt take enough time in making the right choice....

    eh.......?

    What........?

    Oh fuck, sorry.....thought it siad 'New Putter Help'......wrong thread, sorry.........
