Not sure if it happened to anybody else, but my Nokia N8 bluetooth, which was working fine in Windows 8.1, has now stopped working. It keeps saying that it cannot connect. I have removed and added it on again. It can pair it up OK, but when I try to connect, it doesn't want to do it. It was...

Hi, I love Windows Media Center, I use it everyday. I have religiously tagged all my ALBUMS to be as I want them. When I play them, I get that lovely background of all my album arts slowly tracking downwards as the waterfall wallpaper. BACKGROUND: The other day, I decided to add all my...

I have a recurrent problem with Windows 7 on my Dell computer. For several times now, the homepage and the default search engine changes to MixiDJ; some pops-up appear, such as: Fix PC errors now! or 1 click PC fix; various ads appear all the time; various unwanted windows open why I am trying...

I keep getting popups telling me to update my windows media player library. Is this something I need? I don't watch movies, but do have pictures and will watch things on utube. Is this something I should just go ahead an update it? I don't want anything more than I need on my laptop. If I...

A search for "'How to view .thm files in Explorer" shows results that date back to Windows XP which makes me not consider what advice may be given. This search did teach me one thing though and that is that .thm files are not only images files, as i thought they would be. My THMs are all image...

Hi, so I've been having problems with my desktop dropping network connections with my home linux file server. Anytime I go to stream a file from it, it may play for 1-5 minutes then dies and the program playing it, wmp or vlc, locks up and I have to kill it from the task manager. It'll play...

I am using Win7, and until very recently, I have been able to burn downloaded music onto a CD in my optical drive, and also play the CD on the CD player attached to my audio system. Now, when I burn a recording, the burn goes to completion, and when I reinsert the burned CD in to the optical...
