Hi, a few days ago I was playing a game online with friends (Minecraft if needed) and my keyboard stopped working. It is a logitech wireless keyboard, so at first I assumed it was out of batteries. I got completely new batteries, but it didn't work even then. I then unplugged it and my PC...

Problem solved, please disregard.

Hi everyone, I've been using Windows 7 Professional on a precarious condition lately. I can't pinpoint why or what's causing it, but I know Explorer.exe is malfunctioning: I don't get a BSOD (fortunately, perhaps) but the system hangs. As whenever that happens, Windows 7 itself suggests...
