When I was looking around for a new laptop I had considered going down the Apple route but decided that the hardware was just too expensive and that PC's offered much better value for money. It appears to me that Apple support is nothing short of amazing. The other lesson I learned is that I should have saved up a little more money and bought an Apple Mac. I can't risk going through all this again. From now on I won't be applying any updates from HP ever, ever, ever, and the only Microsoft updates I will apply will be security updates. Yes, you are completely right, it is a lesson painfully learned I am a silly Plonker). (I know what you are all thinking 'You should have made a backup of the working setup you silly Plonker'. Thankfully the AKAI LPK25 is once again working as it did when I first installed it and, once again, I have another 2 weeks of setting up software ahead of me.

Zero.Īfter a massive amount of frustration, and no answers, I decided to return the laptop to its factory image and start all over again.

So, as such, this is really a HP 'No Support Forum' Just like the Microsoft 'No Support Forum' where I posted the same question and also got the same number of replies from their company. I thought I was posting a question to HP support. That way my expectations from posting a question would have been more realistic, and my complete and utter dissapointment might have been a little more contained. Support from users is not a bad thing, (I still rely on it quite a lot), but this really should be made more clear. Well this is obviously not an official HP support forum, as it says at the top, but rather a support forum run by the users.
