I just had someone build my computer with a new SSD and I'm getting random BSODs during use. Any help would be appreciated. I'm an IT guy but I've never taken the time to learn how to read dmp files :( The only other problem I"ve noticed with this new build is that sometimes, when I hit the...

Hello everyone, I am having a trouble on my work computer that they allow me to take home. Every time I go home or to another network, I need to reconnect to the WiFi network. I asked my department IT person about it and she had no clue what to do but it would take too long to find a solution...

Hi, My trusty netbook needs to be retired after 5 years of hard graft, and I'm looking to replace it with a Windows-based tablet. My current preference is the Surface 2 (not the surface pro 2, for the avoidance of doubt). Battery life is key for me as I use it primarily in court, where I...

We have a single domain environment with Windows 7 64bit clients. Some of our users have to "CLICK INTO THE PASSWORD FIELD" after they hit ctrl-alt-delete when they login. Is there a way to save users the step of having to click into the Password Field before they enter their password? (The...

I'm in the IT department at my school and we have a room with about 12 computers that need CodeWarrior installed on them. I logged in as the administrator and installed this program which will make it available to all student accounts when a student logs in. However, later when I had a student...

Sorry to bother everyone here, but it seems like MS is requiring users to enter, and/or reset, their password every week now. I remember, a couple years ago, when MS DIDN'T require a person to change their password ever week. Now, I need to login 10-12 times per day, I need to change my...

Anyone here who is a poster in the TechNet forums? (Microsoft TechNet Forums) I have been a frequent poster there for some years. I had not posted for about three or four days and then, when I logged in a couple of days ago, I found the layout had changed dramatically. I battled my way...
