  4. Windows 8 Folder view keeps resetting back.

    Hey guys! I really need your help. My PC decided to reset itself today and when it did that, it screwed something up.

    I had a long-running post on Windows Forums pertaining to my inability to edit any comments made on Facebook with Internet Explorer 11. I can edit those comments with Chrome with no problem.

    Windows 8 Alt-E brings up 1" square magnifier -- how can I reset it?

    Suddenly I can't use Alt-E combinations in any program (e.g. excel where I use it constantly in many common combinations like Alt-e-f, alt-e-s). Even as I post this, if I hit alt-e I get full-screen crosshairs that can be moved with my mouse, and just below and to the right of the crosshair...

    Windows 8 Windows Start Screen

    I have just bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 and I am confused and underwhelmed by 8.1. My main gripe is the totally uncontrollable start Screen. OK I can sort apps into groups and name the groups so that's a start. After getting apps into different groups I now set about sorting them...
  10. The Future Of Voice-Activated AI Sounds Awesome

    For decades science fiction movies have been imagining the future as one where humans talk to machines just as naturally as they speak to family and friends.
