Install CCleaner to clean up that stuff.

[Birds]

Another Alfa took me on, this time a Guilietta turbo thing...actually had some guts and I wasn't expecting him to so he got a head start but reeled in ftw

Then tried to beat me in the handling game and he lost that one too muhahaha

These 2 tools should help:

https://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER

Use the registry cleaner from CCleaner after running driver sweeper on the Intel drivers.

Depends how embedded it is, but it should do the trick.

[Count Grantleyish]

I reset and it seems to have installed a random driver version that I didn't download or install... 16.0.0.62... Running as badly as ever.

How does one clean this registry you speak of

I used to be semi computer literate, but not so these days

'Introduce' said laptop to the person sold it to you.

I'm sure they'd reconsider their refund policy.

[Kinkstaah]

I actually hadn't googled. Called out on it I'm afraid.

But seriously something with an unfixable known issue shouldn't be due to a restocking fee.

Esp if you buy something else at their shop/replace it etc depending on your diplomacy skills

Yep I agree, I've been trying for the last 3 days to fix it, so didn't just run straight back having a sook...If I can't find a fix by tomorrow I'll be calling them to discuss it. I'm more than happy to exchange it for a different laptop, so I'm not just trying to get my money back and run... I'll even kick in a few hundred more if it means getting a better model...and I'll have an external dvd-rom that I have no use for as the MSI doesn't come with one built in, but most other brands seem too...

What can it be used for ?

The current supported drivers are NVIDIA (Display and Chipset), ATI (Display), Creative (Sound) Realtek (Sound), Ageia (PhysX) and Microsoft (Mouse).

Doesn't seem to be for intel drivers?

Think it's time to throw in the towel.

Can't install the drivers Martin said he uses for whatever reason, installer just tells me I can't install them... Ran the reg cleaner, uninstalled the wifi card several times, safe mode all that shit...nothings working... f**k this shit

Yeah, time to yell abuse about a product that isn't working like it's supposed to and demand either someone showing you how it's done OR replace it with something that works from the first go.

Don't be afraid to throw some insults, it works quite well from experience.

[Kinkstaah]

I typically install drivers by doing it through device manager and installing the driver to the device directly.

May not have a different result, but install wizards for drivers annoy me - At times you can simply force device X to use Driver Y.

May not work (may actually not function at all) but it's how I would be installing drivers in this case.

Still not googled

I'd actually recommend not throwing insults around trying to fix PC issues. 99% of people who sell PC's will sympathise with a piece of hardware you tried to fix but couldn't because of a hardware limitation and will be happier to help you out if you go that angle. Especially if you take the "I don't mind spending money, I WANT a functional laptop, can you provide me what I actually want to buy" kind of thing.

They may even have a go trying to fix it for you if they have any ideas/seen it before etc

Pretty sure that's a mistake. running speed tests back to back to back to back... Got that one out of nowhere, then back to the usual sub 1mbit/sec

[dezz]

Just spoke to Centercom, guy I spoke to was very friendly about it, told him I've basically spent the last 5 days trying to get this thing to work properly to no avail.... He said to bring it in and the tech guys will have a look at it tomorrow when they're back at work.

He mentioned if it was faulty they'd do a straight swap for a new MSI GS60...

I mentioned that it's not the laptop itself, but the wifi card which is renowned for being shit house... so swapping for the same laptop would more than likely do nothing...He then said if that was the case and the tech guys find that is the issue they'll look at a full refund or another laptop etc...

So all sounds good initially, but I'm not holding my breath that the tech guys will agree it doesn't work as it's supposed to...

So... Start throwing some good laptops at me. And if there's an Intel AC 7260 in there, I'll throw it back at your head real hard.

Budget, already spent $2550, so another few hundred isn't gonna kill me if it means getting something much better....

Spoke to the tech guy that was there... He fired it up and connected to their wifi, said their router was in the other building... He was downloading at 1.6mb/sec consistently...and getting 18mbit/sec on speed test...

He's adamant that it's my router, and as soon as I mentioned it's a Thompson (Telstra supplied) he said that'd be it 100%... Said to call them and get a newer model that does AC or at the very least Wireless N

Will do that, then break his nose if it still doesn't work.

[Down_Shift]

Do that and break his nose.

Also wear a gopro on your head, POV please.

[Miguelone]

Do you have a mate who has a different router you can connect to and confirm for yourself?
