The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

You have to install Windows from something. You have to buy it and get a registration key. What format is the Windows you will be installing?It says I need to use a CD to install Windows 10. One moreb reason I hate my computer is it doesn't have a CD drive.
Eh, when my daughter went to college she got on the network by herself without my help and without the helpdesk folks either. Meanwhile every other freshman was tearing his or her hair because they couldn't get on. They were using windows. My daughter a Mac. There are stories of all sorts. I spend a big chunk of my day supporting windows networking. And it does eventually work. I prefer the cleanness of Linux networking myself. I can diagnose and solve a networking problem while the Windows folks are asking what happened.When I was in college, it seemed like everyone used Apple. And just about every professor who had any issue with his computer during class immediately blamed it on Windows. I kind of got tired of it. I used Windows my whole time at college and never had to go to the IT department once. Meanwhile, people were always taking their Macs to get fixed...
I think it actually came down to a lack of knowledge of how computers work. If my computer had any little issue, I knew exactly what to do to remedy it. But those with Macs were helpless, basically.
It really was ridiculous how they made students who used Windows feel ashamed. And that was a Christian college! As a Linguistics major, there were programs I needed for class that only were available on Windows. Macs were for the arts, not for data analysis.
Microsoft seldom gives you something for nothing. Try it. But as a favor to the world, don't run an unregistered operating system.Should I just go ahead and ho pe it works if the regristration is free?
Good headphones solve that problem. That's ideal anyway, because you're "closer" to the sound that way. But there are certainly Windows computers out there with decent speakers. When it comes to actually analyzing the data, which is probably 70 % of what linguistics is about, Windows had way more compatibility with the programs we needed. The developers of the software mainly created them for Windows computers, even when it came to add-ons for things like Word which enabled us to insert IPA symbols not normally used in writing.Because Windows computers don't have remotely decent sound without external speakers, I would expect Apple laptops to work better for a linguistics class.
The problem with people getting their Macs repaired is only the company cna take them apart to do it.
Well, Windows 10 was a free upgrade when it came out... It was for a limited time, but since I had the Pro version of Windows 7 installed, I was able to upgrade straight to the Pro version of Windows 10. It's really not a bad version, either. There's just a few things I miss from Windows 7. (Windows 8 was junk, as we all know!).Microsoft seldom gives you something for nothing. Try it. But as a favor to the world, don't run an unregistered operating system.
I'm not sure I quite understand. What kind of interruptions? Like glitches, or... How would plugging them into external speakers be better than directly into the computer?Of course Windows 10 is not free anymore now that all Microsoft computers have it.
The headphones idea looks good on paper, but I would plug them into external speakers anyway just so I can listen to whatever without interrputions.
Sell your Mac and then buy a windows PC, easy solution.I hate Apple. I always did and always will. People can talk all they want about their computers, cell phones, and tablets being better quality at what they do, but they can't do what MIcrosoft computers can. It is also a total lie that Macs are more user-friendly. They are very unfriendly. Mac fans say users only gain, not lose, features when they switch from Windows to Mac. That's baloney. I lost features I need and only gained one that helps me do more on it: louder sounds through the speakers.
I am complaining about this here because people without depression do not understand having a computer I hate makes my life worse. I know I should be thankful just to have ab computer, but nothing prevents me from thinking, "I wish I still had Wndows," or something like that if all I want to do is something that is impossible on my iMac.

Oi.I was referring to Mom coming into my room if she hears videos playing on the computer.
I specifically put this thread here to prevent EVERYONE from saying stuff like that because it is all about HER, not the computer.
Oi, I understand what it's like to have a smother (I mean mother)So is there anyone who truly understands the crap about having no choice because of my living situation? I can't live like this, always thinking life will be better when Mom is dead.
Theres a word for that.A bossy mother who would refuse to let her 42-yeaer old daughter do what she wants?
