Please ignore this post completely as all my technical issues were caused by faulty hardware and shoddy workmanship by the supplier who built my computer, Computer Planet Manchester. None of my techincal issues were in any way caused by the software.
Warning: Under no circumstances should anyone consider buying a computer from Computer Planet in Manchester. I spent nearly £3000 and have gone through over 10 pure months of hell and have experienced the worst customer service possible. I have also reported them to trading standards and the Pc Association too. Avoid at all costs, you have been warned.
