The helpline was asked for therefore the helpline was given
Actually they asked if there was a helpline and as far as the OP's circumstances go there isn't really. The number you gave only applies in specific circumstances such as buying windows separately or general MS UK queries but in the OP's case (to quote Microsoft themselves) with Windows already installed "your best option will be contact your computer manufacturer for support.""She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

It's hard to tell by text alone if you're being sarcastic or not.
Generally speaking, PC world have a terrible reputation for blindly solving PC problems by formatting and re-installing, with the owner having a limited say on what gets done.
Search these forums for PC World and see the reputation they have.Russia is HERE0 -
