But, if I don't need it I'll uninstall it and save the...

G'day,
Most mornings on booting the network adaptor does not seem to work.
I have to disable it the re-enable it to regain the network, sometimes more than once.
Same on two machines.
Any idea what may be the problem?

Hi
I recently upgraded Win 7 to Win 10; though it looked nice, several of my apps would not work, In particular, Kaspersky IS and NVIDIA Experience just would not work. I fiddled around for ages and, finally. downgraded back to Win 7. After several registry problems, I got KIS 16 and NVIDIA...
Hello again,
No matter which undelete programme I try, not one of them will ever find a deleted file.
I copy a file to a directory on C: or D:, delete it and then empty the Recycle Bin. Whatever application I care to use, the file, which is very unlikely to have been overwritten, can not...
