Early Birds Get the Discount

Posted by Mike

Microsoft officially announced Windows 7 prices. Most of the retail pricing is below what Windows Vista was when it came out. However the thing that’s really catching eyes is the upgrade pricing programs. From Friday June 26th until Friday July 11th users will be able to get a huge discount on Windows 7.

If you buy a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium you can get it for just $49! If you need Windows 7 Professional you can get that upgrade for just $99! This is good for anyone who uses Windows Vista or Windows XP. The amazing part is this discount. When Windows 7 goes on sale on October 22 it will be $119 for Home Premium, $199 for Professional, and $219 for Windows 7 Ultimate. This means that if you purchase it now you can save over half on the upgrade.

If you’re planning on buying a full version of Windows 7 you may want to consider just buying a new computer as the full versions are set to be expensive. For Home Premium you can expect to pay $199, for professional it will be $299, and for Windows 7 Ultimate it will be $319. These prices seem outrageous compared to the $49 that you can get it at right now. For anyone who’s considering buying a computer you can do it anytime after the 26th. After the 26th anyone who buys a computer is eligible for Microsoft’s upgrade program in which Vista PC buyers will get a free copy of Windows 7. This may be the better route if you need a new computer and you want Windows 7.

Linux is still free though. Many users are still moving towards Linux because of that. Microsoft may want to think of a new strategy if it plans to stay where it is within the next decade.

Windows Media Player Registry Problems are Easy to Fix

Posted by Kat

If you have been having error message after error message and your Windows Media Player is not working, then the problem might not be the program itself but the registry.  Though most of Microsoft’s products are great there is a problem with other products and how they affect the registry.

The registry can be changed every time your update or install a new program.  It can also be changed when you uninstall a program or get infected with malware.  All of these changes affect a computer’s performance and can cause problems that will slow down the computer’s ability to process information.

By installing a program that will clean up the registry you can stop many error messages and speed up your computer.  Unfortunately letting it go can ruin a computer processor and cause you to have to purchase a new computer sooner rather than later.

I have had several problems like this before and with just a click of the mouse Regcure fixed the problem and help my computer run faster.  No more waiting for programs to load, I just click the program I want to run and before I know it the program starts.  I also feel better knowing that I do not have to call someone every time my computer starts running slower.  I just run Regcure every so often to keep everything running smoothly.

If you have been experiencing error messages and your computer seems to be running a lot slower than when it first came out of the box, it might be time to look into cleaning the registry with Regcure.  The best thing about Regcure is that it is easy to use and everything it does is makes your computer run better. Download Regcure today to fix your Windows Media Player problems and fully optimize your PC.
