Try right clicking on the speaker icon. This should open a window that is titled "Sound". There will be 4 tabs. When the playback tab is selected it will show icons of the audio devices you have connected to your computer. You will need to select your stereo speaker device and then click the...

I appreciate everyone's help. I did have my sound turned on, but didn't have the correct device set as the default one. When I go to my sound area, under "playback" my computer shows 12 Digital Display audio devices. It was simply a matter of seeing which of those devices produced a visual...

Does anyone know how to get the Windows 8.1 alarm actually "ring" when the set time arrives? It will open up a window in the top right corner of your screen, but it will not make any sound. Not much of an "Alarm" if it makes no noise. I'd also like to know if there is a way to make the...

You are absolutely correct. I made an unfortunate assumption in thinking that the whole Internet wasn't producing sound. I appreciate the help. Thank you

Yesterday I plugged in a headphone/microphone to use Dragon, a voice recognition software. It may be just a coincidence, but since then I haven't been able to hear any sound off the internet. I have a High definition audio device 5.1 surround speaker system that still plays mp3's, and movie...

In Windows 7, you know, The "Olden days", when I asked the computer to delete a file, a window would open up and say something to the effect of "do you really want to delete this file?" I liked that. If I am working really fast, and I usually am, I like having my machine slow me down just a tad...

Kemical -- the one that works the best for me is called Snap Calculator. You can snap it to the side and it only cost $1.49. It's worth it.

Hi Medicted60 Thank you for taking the time that you did to provide all this information. I removed a lot from my hard drive with your suggestions. There were a lot of things that it didn't remove however, and that's because of the computer my son and I built. I am very fortunate to have a son...

I appreciate the suggestion Kemical. There are lots of calculators in the app store. I'll find one that works. Thank you

I have a 127gb solid state hard drive. I only use it to run my programs. All saved files are sent to other internal hard drives. I just happened to notice today that I only had 7gb of space left on my C drive. I did a quick check and found that I only have 44gb of programs and files that appear...

When I read emails in Windows 8 Internet Explorer, the photos that the senders include in the email never show up. If I read that same email using the Internet Explorer from the desktop, they are all there. Is that supposed to be a good thing in Microsofts' thinking? Not really a good selling...

MY guess then is that the people who are sending me email are not using the Mail app. I just went through 3 months of emails and only one of them had the senders actual email address listed. But that was because it was in the body of the email. The one I got that alerted me to your response was...

When you receive an email in Windows 8, you do not see the email address of the sender. How can you determine what that address is?

In Windows 7, I had my computer set so that before it would delete something it would verify that I really wanted to delete this file. How do I set it to do that in Windows 8?

In Windows 7 you were able to open up a Website or some other window and hit the calculator key on your keyboard, or open the calculator some other way, and it would hover above the window you were viewing. With Windows 8, when you open the calculator, it takes you to the desktop. If you are...
