This is the CPU/overclocking forum. Try asking your question in the proper forum (Windows 7 maybe?). And try using commas...your question reads like sh!t.

i couldn't find any operating system section on here, i have no idea where the right place is, if a moderator wants to move it to the right place they can, as for grammer im not very good at it so don't know where to use commas etc.

The moderators don't move posts...they delete them. Why is it so difficult to find the proper forum? They're listed in several places on every page. All you have to do is look. Here, I'll make it easy: CLICK HERE!

well apparently i cant post it anywhere else so youll just have to get used to it sorry mate i cant help the way this stupid place works

Computing.net is probably the #1 free tech support forum on the internet. If you can't figure out how to use it, it's not the "place" that's stupid. "apparently i cant post it anywhere else so youll just have to get used to it" Get used to it? I'm not gonna answer a Windows 7 question in the CPU forum & neither will anyone else. You need to post in the correct forum. That's why there's individual forums in the 1st place...to keep all common topics together. And how much easier can I make it for you? I gave you a link to the Windows 7 forum...all you need to do is click on it? Do I have to walk you thru what to do next?? Try clicking on "New Topic"...it's a blue button with the grey "New" balloon just above "Windows 7 Knowledge Base"...then fill out the form.

i did that but it will not let me post the question i cant delete this thread so until you talk me through the process of deleting this thread i cannot post it anywhere else, what i will now do is email all email address's on the contact us page regular with this query until i get an answer.
