I've had Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista (32 & later 64bit) and now just installed Windows 7 (64bit). I've also tried Macs, which are overpiced trash. So far, 7 seems to start up and load various items a bit faster than Vista and I also think the transparent or "glass" visual feature looks...

Hello, I recently purchased a computer dedicated to gaming/working. I just installed MS office 2007 and I have an issue with word 2007. When I'm running word 2007, it takes always 5-6 seconds to switch from Word to any other application running: Internet explorer, Google chrome, Paint...

Vista allowed the contents of a window to be sorted by name, date modified, etc in any view -- but it appears Windows 7 drops that menu bar for all views other than "details" view. I can right-click within the box to sort, but it's very inefficient. Any way to retain that detail bar in all...

I spend quite some time on the web, much of which is taken up by filling out forms with name, address etc. Is there any software that can automate this chore? Thank you!

Link Removed - Invalid URL Upgrading to the resource hog that was Windows Vista meant that home and business users alike also required a hardware upgrade. The fact that Vista required quite expensive new hardware in order to run at a level of performance equivalent to Windows XP’s...

In XP I could navigate around an explorer window full of files with the arrow keys or by typing the beginning of the file name and it was more or less instantaneous. In Win7 there's a several second lag that seriously slows down my productivity. Similar when dragging folders. I suspect Win7 is...

Ninite: Install multiple programs in seconds with one click Setting up a new computer is sometimes fun. But installing tons of applications takes a while, so sometimes you set that aside and forget to install them, just to find you've got to read a PDF but you don't have a PDF reader. Or maybe...

I know it's possible to navigate to parent folder by pressing Alt+ArrowUp in Win7. However, that's hard to press, I need two hands for that. AltGr+ArrowUp doesn't work. How to make another, easier keyboard shortcut for Alt+ArrowUp? Also, how to make a shortcut for Open parent folder in a new...

I HIGHLY recommend this CPU. They are rated in the top 10 fastest processors on the market. I'm running a I7 920 system from Tiger Direct for $699 and have never seen any system run as fast and as solid - with so much power left over. It is a refurbished system with 3 gigs ram, dvd writer...

What's the fastest way to close an application currently on the taskbar? In XP I used to do: right click an item (running application button on the taskbar) and then immediately press c. That would immediately close the application. In Windows 7, if I do the same, first I have to wait for the...
