Windows 7 Instructions not Right

I got a new computer about a year ago and it has Windows 7. While there are some good things, there are also some bad things about Windows. The file structure is harder to use especially in uploading. But a recent thing that bugs is that the instructions that came with the computer say that Windows 7 was meant for the computer to be left on and that it worked better that way. Well that is just not true. If you leave it on and even if it goes into sleep mode when not in actual use, after a few days problems start to develop like you can't create a new file, you can't download files(you just get some very small part that doesn't work) and more. These things happen even though there is plenty of memory to spare, etc. Turning off the computer completely after closing everything and then turning it right back on solves the problems. So they really got it wrong when they said it was meant to be left on.

Good points, Win 7 does have a massive improvement from Win XP which struggled severly in stand by. I agree with you though that Sleep mode sucks, as for me, i cant even turn my laptop back out of sleep without having to reset the entire thing. And don't start about difficulty to learn, if you want a challenge go to linux. I cant even get flash installed
