Today's Hardware Friday is of a kind I've not seen before. Sure, we've seen the Chat to Hardware, Hardware to Chat projects, but I don't think I've seen that uses Lync and the Unified Communications Web API. Plus I've missing blogging about .Net Gadgeteer projects... :) Exploring the Internet...

Hi Since my keyboard lights don't work, I discovered that you can set the caps lock key to play a tone when you push it. This at least lets me know when I turn it on by accident. This made me think that it might be useful for gaming if I could assign a tone to several other keys, so that I...

Whenever I try to attach a file to an email in any email client, Windows 7 gives me the message "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." and a box saying "Close Program". This has been a problem for...

About a week ago I started getting notification that my 1 tb hard drive was almost full. I found this hard to believe as I try to keep a fairly close eye on it. I deleted some unnecessary files and it then showed I had about 20 gb free. The problem continues to happen. This morning I got the...

How can I make a noise after coping or moving files are done on my pc TIA Frank

I suppose I'm one of the rare souls who finds 8 very intuitive and easy to use. I don't have a smartphone, so I have no app habits to break. The common complaints I've encountered haven't been relevant to me, and after 9 months I find myself much more comfortable with 8 than any other operating...

Does anyone know how to get the Windows 8.1 alarm actually "ring" when the set time arrives? It will open up a window in the top right corner of your screen, but it will not make any sound. Not much of an "Alarm" if it makes no noise. I'd also like to know if there is a way to make the...

I received alerts which told me that some has "quoted " my post. Why do I have to know that ? A simple alert will suffice. Why a special category under Alerts ? Thank you.

There's one application on my computer, Powerchute Personal Edition, that has not worked (rather, it "seems to be working") since it was installed on a new computer running Win7. Yes, its icon is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen (I forget the corner's name) and, I do receive...
