I keep getting messages from MSoft saying upgrade to WIN 11. How can I know if my current software progs will still function? eg I am still using MSOffice 13/MSMoney/ACT2000 among many others.

Using a search engine I have tried to find how to backup and restore Outlook Calendar data, but failed so far. I see "export" but it is not apparent to me yet. I have done a search on the letters "pst" on my hard drives, but did not get a hit on a file with that suffix. It must be simple, but...

Greetings and happy belated Christmas. I need experts on Hyper-V technology. Here is the problem I am having. I have a customer that works connecting his laptops to cars so they can be enhanced in the way the owner wants. Someone tried to install a software in his laptop and for some reason...

On my windows 11 machine, after it is running for a couple of minutes I briefly see 2 cmd windows popup briefl. They're gone way too fast to see what command is executed or to have any clue where they originate from. How would I go about finding out what program is executing them ?

Any way to do that? For example, some programs like to hijack your browser and switch your current tab to their homepage when you install/uninstall/update them. Would like to completely stop that (for all apps ever at once, not individually).

I tried to install a couple of new programs on my Windows 11 laptop. They go through the install procedure well but there's no installed program. They don't show up in task manager processes. One of them shows up in installed apps.

I would like to get the default win10 behaviour, where the taskbar buttons are all to the left, and open windows show up separately to the right. Right now, when a window associated with a button is open, the button changes to a large window button, and other program icons move to the right. I...

Hi! my friend talked to me about a problem with his laptop, the problem is when he opens chrome (for example) then he googles anything... then he presses on any link, it forces him to return to the main page, this problem happens on every single program, even the file explorer when he tries to...

Hi what different between creating restore point and creating system img? I see both go back and bring back files - programs - settings any explain?

Simple question. If I install Windows 11 will I need to reinstall all my current programs such as Office, Photoshop, ftp program, html editor etc etc

I've heard that organising the Start menu in 11 is not possible. (It became pretty convoluted in 10). Is this true? I like ( or even need) to organise programme links, grouped according to purpose ( graphics, Office, internet, etc,) because I have lots of useful little programmes, many of which...

Hi everyone. While Windows 11 has solved several problems that I've had, like not being able to sign in to Widows Terminal as Admin, there is one thing that I think is kind of weird. One is that it will sometimes open multiple copied of programs that it wouldn't do before. I discover that if I...

Hi All, Since remote assistance/control programs are not malware, but are used by scammers at times to set up unattended access to victims' computers, does anyone know of a scanner that will look for remote assistance programs? (They don't always show up in Programs and Features). Many...

When opening a file not already associated with a program, or using the "Open with..." menu in the context menu, I cannot select my own programs to open the file, as clicking "More apps" or "Try an app on this pc" does nothing. This extremely annoying as I cannot open even an image or a text...

Firstly windows media player was crashing when ripping cd's, now office and other programs are crashing. I updates up to date and plenty of free disk space. I have tried the fixes for WMP and also done 3 system restores and still having same problems.

:cool:

I have an old Acer computer that I would like to run for 5 different things in Windows XP. My biggest interest is shown in the image. It's a telescope mirror analysis program which is called FigureXP. I have an XP install disk on the way. Most of the time the computer will not be on and I can...

When I move my curser past the bottom right corner of my monitor screen all programs go transparent. When this happens (transparent) I can see my desktop and transparent shadow boxes where open programs were. When I move the curser back onto the screen everything goes back to normal. I've...
