You are a saint and scholar. Thanks!

Loathe though I am to respond to a bot, the button is set in Roccat Swarm to Universal Scrolling. If I disable it, it disables it also in Windows. There are some functions in Swarm to have it open a folder or program or window but not specifically to open a link in a new tab in Firefox, sadly...

Bit of a strange one, here. When I'm browsing YouTube I'll usually hit the mouse wheel button to open a video in a new tab while I continue to browse. However sometimes Windows seems to change what it does, as it enables the scroll function. As you can see here - This scroll function is not...

Hey guys, I'm having a weird issue with switching between my onboard audio and my Sound Blaster Z. Whenever I set the latter to be the default device, I get what sounds like a sound repeated over and over, echoing endlessly. The reason I switch between the two is to use my headset when I'm...

I apologise for reviving such an old thread, but after upgrading to Windows 10 this issue has returned. The last time I apparently fixed it by going into power settings and stopping the hard drives from turning off - I am still puzzled as to how this affects the machine booting, but it did...

Hello all, I've had the idea to use an old laptop as a Netflix machine for my mother, and I'd like to be able to hook up a Microsoft MCE remote and let her navigate the software with that. She used to use this laptop, but switched over to a Windows 10 tablet when the thing began failing in...

Thanks for the comment, Michael (not sure why you deleted it?). Thankfully it was not rolling back to a previous version of Windows, but to the previous state Windows was in before the update. I've told it to defer such updates so hopefully it won't bother me again.

So, this morning Windows decided I wasn't having enough fun in my life, and decided to fuck with me. Yesterday, it had updated but I had not yet restarted. I hadn't scheduled it - in fact the schedule window was open so I could dictate when I wanted the thing to update. When I woke up, I saw...

I'm sorry I haven't replied before now, but I have good news. While looking for people who had posted about the same issue on the 'net (and there are many), I came across a post that suggested that the hard drives not powering up in time may have been to blame. I thought to myself that it...

Well, after I installed I let Windows Update do it's thing, then I ran through all of the drivers for the motherboard and graphics card. Checking the latter, the driver seems to be from AMD. What on the motherboard side of things should I look for? I'm not convinced this is the cause, but I'm...

Hey guys, I'm having a weird issue here that I have no idea how to fix. Every time I go to turn on my pc the next day, it won't boot unless I switch it off first - but that's not the whole story. I once tried switching off the psu before turning it on (again, a day later) and it still wouldn't...

Our media pc keeps bring up a window with the following message - "Windows Media Player Library Make media files show up in Windows Media Player Library" It offers three options - advanced, next, and cancel. Clicking next has it detect for errors, then just sit there and keep detecting, not...

My flat-mate purchased one of the new "slim" 360's the other day and though I had no interest in it, I found that it is a convenient way of using the Sky Player rather than having to physically go over to the media pc and use their software, or search endlessly and without result for a way...

Hehe, nice pictures. Reminds me of when I was up in a lan gaming convention and the only place we had to sleep was under our computers, in the relative safety of underneath the desks. Well, after uninstalling all ATi drivers and programs, downloading and installing 10.6 and reinstalling Flash...
