This site doesn't seem to be wokRing eitheR! foR one thing it once again won't type any loweRcase Rs. The spell check shows it OK, but it doesn't in the 4 mm. But my poblem is that I can't get into my email. I know what my passwod is, but it won't accept it. What do I do? It wan't me to...

Can't log in to Comcast Email?

OK, I've figured out a few things. I can't move the folders to themes but I can move all the images into themes individually, once the are in "C:\ Windows\images", they can be selected for the Desktop images, and then made into a theme. So I emptied all the .jpgs into "images" and then selected...

I know the location of my themes, they are on my F drive in my "My Themes" folder. I have a bunch of them, Everything from all the Cars I've Owned to my cats and dogs. All in the correct size to fit my 34" UHD monitored I love how Windows never stops trying to make thing almost impossible to...

After the last update my custom theme changed to a default theme and I can't find a way to change it back to one of my own! I get into Personalize and can't find anyway to search for a folder on my hard drives. I can get themes from the net, but I can't find a search box that lets me search on...

All done, what an improvement, I finally an back up to over 40 Gigs of space available and I don't have to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop and Premiere. I also found that it I click on the words with the missing R it spell checks and fixes it.

There is a Windows.old file on my C:\ drive taking up 41 gigabytes of space. I assume that it's safe to remove this, as I remember it creates this when it reinstalls Windows and it's safe to remove it when everything is up and working. It's the reason that all my free space disappeared when it...

After hours of working I finally got over 20 gigs of space freed up on my C:\drive. After deleting or moving many small files that I knew I didn't need I found a folder in my Users Public folder that was 30 GB. It was placed there by one of my graphics programs. So I deleted it and now had...

I think the problem had to do with not having enough space on my C:\ dive. It took me ages but I finally go it to 24 gigs of f ee space, but all of a sudden the * key wont p int. It was viRtually full. I only have Windows installed on my C:\ dive and it was down to about 4 gigs of open...

Hi I'm not able to install the newest update. About a month ago the computer told me to update, and was going to do it on it's own. I told it to go ahead and it started doing the process. To make a long story short, it couldn't do it. I kept repeating the process, and I was thinking I was...

That's the problem, every time I log in it goes to my external hard drive and I want it to load to my Desktop? I want it to just load to my Desktop, it has been doing this for quite a while but I haven't found what is causing it! Mike

As I age, I"m a couple of weeks short of 86 now, I get inundated with scam emails. Now I'm not just getting ones that say they are from Amazon, my bank, UPS, other retailers, and payment services they are claiming to be from the Social Security! The first thing I do is look at the address...

Now I'm getting several messages saying my package can't be delivered, just got three of them all at the same time. A couple of days ago, I got a phone call ostensibly from Medicare, they asked if I had received my new card. I said I hadn't gotten a new car in a long time. They then asked me to...

I have a rule, if they ask you to click anything, delete it and go to the store page. The problem is with people, if anything can be exploited, someone will do it. A lot of the stuff I've been getting lately is from New Zealand. It used to be mostly from Russia.

Download an Ubuntu bootable disk on any computer and create a boot disk or flash drive. Then move all your critical material to an external hard drive. Then you will know that everything is safe.
