I have a three monitor set up. Whenever I open up a browser, either internet explorer or google chrome on monitors 2 and 3, after a few seconds it automatically drags my browser into my main monitor(monitor 1, where my start button and status bar is located) Maybe I didn't search correctly on...

I've recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8 on my Dell XPS 15 laptop. I normally run a dual monitor setup with my 33" monitor and I am quite fond of watching netflix on the secondary monitor while gaming/doing school work/blogging/reading news/etc... however I'm noticing two things that I...

Recently, (and no, rolling back is NOT an option on this computer...) some apps as well as windows 7 itself, have starting doing odd things. One real pain is that my fonts like to vanish. Especially upon a crash or if I have to hold the power button to shut off the computer, when I start up...

Icons in my folders keep reverting to Details view (Change Your View > Details) instead of Large Icons choice, which is what I want as default. It's not a consistent thing, though; sometimes I re-open folder and it's still Large Icons, sometimes it has gone back to Details view. Any suggestions?

Not sure if I posted in the correct place, so please do move the thread if it's in the wrong area. When I'm using my computer I tend to get a black screen at random times. So far they usually occur while I'm browsing the web and while I'm playing games while on Skype. This happened before and...

Originally, I noticed my Word and Excel icons were not displaying properly (look at the "paper.docx" icon). So I "rebuilt" the icon cache database using the steps below: Rebuilding the Icon Cache Database 1. Close all folder windows that are currently open. 2. Launch Task Manager using the...

Hello, I started getting BSOD a couple months ago. It occurred as I was watching a youtube video. It only happened once during the month so I thought it wouldn't be a big deal. And then throughout the past month I started getting it once a week and then every other day. Now I don't even get...

Hi all, I have just upgraded to Windows 8 over Windows 7 and the installation went smoothly. It appeared that my monitor (Asus VH 222) was set on too low a resolution to get some of the applications to work so I was in the process of changing this when I got an out of range signal and the...

Hey everyone. Looks like I've finally gotten the "3B" BSOD that seems to be making its rounds. Unfortunately, in my case, nothing has changed on the system, except location (I moved, and transported my machine with me). I've opened up the system and physically reseated everything to ensure...

Link Removed So I'm having a funky Windows7 problem - on certain screens (usually windows based screens like within the Control Panel, but not always just there) - I'm getting blank ASCII boxes in place of the usual text characters. It's really random and doesn't happen on every Windows related...
