Lately I've been having a problem with downloaded programs and shortcuts disappearing. 3 times now I've downloaded slots of vegas casino and everything goes fine until I shut down and then restart the computer, the desktop icon is gone and trying to load from the programs menu doesn't work anymore either. Aslo a couple of times now when the system goes into sleep mode and I try to click and move the mouse to get it to start up again it won't restart and I'm I have to resort to forcing a shutdown and then rebooting after which it runs alright.
My system is a windows 7 64 bit Acer Aspire x1301

You are kidding. Right?
If it wasn't for your established post count of 81 posts here at WhatTheTech, I'd initially think that your "slots of vagas" post was intentional spamming.
Let's start at the basics…
Depending upon your country of origin and geographic location, online gambling may be illegal.
Even if you are situated in a location that allows online gambling as legal, there are choices to be made for safety.
— for starters, "slots of vegas" is
notorious well known for using every scam in the book to prevent you from cashing out any winnings.
— secondly, online gambling sites are attractive major targets for third-party scammers and download exploits.
— further, even if you are using only "free chips and coupons" you have opened yourself up to identity exploit and possibly worse.
You do have the right to use your computer and internet access within the parameters of law in your location in any manner you see fit.
And just as certainly, I am free to point out that the choice that you are presently having difficulty with is rife with hazard and should be avoided.
Don't be expecting any apology for my apparently rude criticism of this type of online activity.
You will not be receiving any assistance to make your participation in this type of online activity easier.
Topic Closed.
