Win7 x64 Ultimate About 98% of the time, when I double click on a file (video, photo, mp3, etc) the app opens under the current window. Rarely it opens on top like I'm used to. Never had this issue with XP, it always opened the app on top of whatever else was open and maximized at the time...

With the announcement of Apples new iPad device and its features revealed, I was interested to find out how many people would actually look at buying one. Personally, I think its a big let down with lots of features missing to get me interested. Link Removed Firstly, 4:3? Big black bars around...

I am really hating Win7 right about now... Here's a regular daily duty for me. I put a camera CF card into a USB reader and put it into the USB slot. I then create folders on a hard drive for each day of photos that was on the CF card, and I drag all the Monday stuff from the CF into a Monday...

It seems to happen randomly, but I will be in a program (Media Player Classic, World of Warcraft and other games) and whether or not they are maximized I will randomly be "booted" from the program. For instance I will be playing World of Warcraft and I will be moving around or typing...

This may seem lame, but it's absolutely driving me crazy because I use Wordpad very often: it seems impossible to permanently change the formatting on Wordpad now (W7 professional just upgraded from Vista business), specifically font and spacing. Every time I open a new document, it's back to...

I'm not sure why it is doing this but when I try to start Windows Media Center I can't access the screen. I try switching between screens and can see that the program is running but I can't use it. Also when I am playing a game and try to switch between the game and desktop with alt + tab or win...

WordPad can now read and write both the Word 2007-compatible Office Open XML file format but also the OpenDocument specification that IBM and Sun have been advocating. Right click on an .ISO image (from Windows Explorer) and select "open with" and you'll see the "Windows disk image burning...

Hello, I hope you are doing well. By default, when I use ALT+TAB to go between windows, if I pause on another icon for about a second, the other window becomes the active one (so that I can preview what's on that window). Is there a way to disable this? Thanks, Vic

I have an Intel quad core desktop and i installed the RTM from MSDN on here and the multitasking is insanely slow. My pc basically locks up while doing a lot of activities but my memory usage never breaks about half of what i have (4gb) and the CPU is never stressed more than 35%, what could be...
