I've been intrigued for a while now by the idea of an air mouse, so when I saw one being sold at a fairly low price, I ordered one, however sadly, it came DOA. At least I haven't been able to find any signs of life, other than that Windows popped alerts that it had installed the driver...

After installing Windows 8 over Windows 7 on a Dell computer all worked well except for the Logitech wireless keyboard. When the shifted number keys were struck they printed an ASCII letter rather than their normal character. I substituted a USB keyboard with the same result. I have found no way...

I have a laptop (Asus K55D) with two OS, Windows 8 and 7, operating through a KVM switch (trendnet tk-409). It is also connected to a Linux machine. Linux machine works fine. When booting the laptop, the Bios and the boot selection work fine too, and so does Windows 8 when booted. But when...

Never mind, I looked at it again, and it is a touchpad and not touchscreen. Maybe not such a big deal when it comes to Windows 8.

All of a sudden I am having trouble with my mouse. I click on something and it won't work until I do it several times. If I click on a box, it won't do it either until I do it a couple of times. Any ideas. It is a dell mouse that came with the computer. It has a red light on the bottom so I...

Since a few days the left touchpad button on my Samsung notebook does not work any more. Double tipping on the touchpad itself (as replacement action) or using the left mouse button works fine. So what error can it be? How can I find out the reason? No mechanical damage is...

With all the keyboard shortcuts available in Win 7, isn't there one to put the computer to sleep? The system came with a discontinued mouse/keyboard business set. The keyboard had a "sleep" key. Alas, this keyboard was not liquid-proof and a cup of tea ended its brief career as my favorite...

I had to send my Dell Inspiron 1420 off to get the Nvidia Chip replace. They pulled the mother board and fixed it and reinstalled it. When I got it back I had to reload the HD with W7-64 due to wiping it thinking that was the problem instead of the chip. It had XP before if that matters. Now my...

How do I turn off the ripple effect when using Windows 7 home premium with a Wacom pen tablet? It's incredibly annoying. Never had this problem with Vista. Thank you.

Hello ! About two weeks ago, my girlfriend's laptop (Dell Inspiron 1721) running 7 x64 had the mouse poorly responding. Right after the boot, swiping on the touchpad barely moved it on the screen...just inch by inch...:confused: The system loads fine, if I press the Windows key for example it...
