    Windows 8 Problems with internet/proxy server/Windows 8 apps

    In Windows 7 and XP Internet Explorer has some sort of system-wide %HOST attribute assigned to it respective to proxy settings so many things inherit the proxy settings assigned in IE. Firefox does not, so assuming that hasn't changed in the jump to Win8*, I suspect using it will work around...

    Windows 8 Power8 - Start menu replacer for Windows8

    Drew, Thanks for patting us malcontents on the head with the encouraging words. But here's the thing. When I'm sitting at a desk doing work or intensive research, I want a start button. An (optinal) start button would give me the boost I need to step out of the "new gadget" and "learning...

    Windows 7 Want computer display to have a E-Book display

    Windows XP Windows XP restarting when I download something from the internet.

    Hah interesting. Is it on time every time, or usually, or sporadically? Can you think of anything that changed on the computer recently, or are you digging it out of a closet, or what? What browser are you using? Have you tried using a different browser version? What about the windows...

    Windows 8 Windows 8 on an older Netbook? (Dell Inspiron 910 "mini")

    I'm considering loading Windows 8 on an older Netbook - it has an Atom N270 1.6ghz cpu, 2GB of ddr2 and a solid state disk, so I'm thinking while far from a beast, it should be able to keep up? http://www.cnet.com/laptops/dell-inspiron-mini-9/4507-3121_7-33240837.html this has more info on it...
