annoyance

My operating system has developed a strange problem. Every 10 minutes, it will randomly switch away to the desktop, and back again. This is incredibly annoying, and I would very much like it to stop. I have run both virus checkers and spyware scanners, and they haven't found anything. Any idea...

Once again, I got a BSOD after auto-install of (19) win 7 updates today (at restart after installation of the updates). I am always up-to-date so it must be the new Tuesday-update-day-Updates of yesterday. Had it a couple of months ago when it was announced that win 8.1 crashed after win...

Looks like I have another problem. Take a little time off and "surprise, surprise." It is annoying and as long as it does no damage, I guess I could live with it if I have to.

How can I remove or change the start-up page which says "welcome"? I don't care to be "welcomed" by an unconscious thing, a machine, my computer. This has annoyed me for years and I want to put an end to it.

Today my partner unplugged a number of network cables, not realising their importance. Now for about three hours my Windows 7 desktop will not find one of the computers on my home network (a networked file store). Two windows XP systems on the network successfully find this machine and can...

I find it an extreme annoyance. I would like to find a file manager that "virtually" strips out the entire roster of about 30+ redundant and unnecessary folders, and simply leaves a minimalist file tree. I can create three or four sub-directories for my particular tasks without the insane...

I double clicked on the system sounds in the mixer and suddenly I got a beep sound ( one a second ) and it wont stop. I have removed my USB keyboard and mouse and it still keeps beeping. I have tried a system restore and it keeps beeping. I tried an earliar restore point and it keeps beeping...

I have Windows 8.1 Pro and I have a problem with the taskbar. Sometimes, maybe about a quarter of the time, when I click on a taskbar button to switch to whatever program I get a system 'ding' and nothing happens. If I click the same spot right afterwards it works normally, and it does not...

Somewhat to my surprise, because of the reputation of FedEx, I've been having some delivery problems with them. Of course, the degree of the problem varies, depending on the person making the deliveries, and it not always obvious who that person is, when they don't knock on the door, and leave...

I received a zipped file from someone. I downloaded it and opened it. It contained sub folders which each contained a page of a booklet. I decided to trash the whole file. I deleted it from the recycle bin. Later when I closed other windows on my desktop, I found one of the open pages from the...

Internet connections falls down after I log in? I got a new computer with Windows 7 about a week ago. But every time I log in, I have my internet connection for few seconds and then it falls down. (I know I had for a short while it because the skype logs in for a moment or I...

I have a very unique problem. My computer will be in sleep mode, and any little change in electrical current on the circuit will cause it to wake up (lamps, lights turning on or off, plugging things in, etc.) My question is, is there anything I can do to prevent the power supply from waking my...

I'm having some problems with my network connection. Few time ago I was connected via cable connection,or wireless. Now, I moved out to another location where I have another cable connection.

This is just a tiny issue I have, but at the bottom right of my desktop, the text "Windows 7 Build 7601" is displayed. No "Windows is not activated" or anything like that, just that. I've done searches on it, but nothing has been able to help me. Does anyone know how to remove it?

I previously got windows 8, I accidentally installed the German version, it took me about a hour to figure out how to change the language. Once I changed it, mostly everything's in English, but some things like the lock screen is still in German! this is getting pretty annoying. I was just...
