Hello all, this is my first post, hence apologies for whatever rules I may have violated because of my lack of familiarity. Now, to get to the point:
I have been using W7 quite nicely until I realised my Windows Explorer hangs occasionally when I am running Chrome, IE or Safari (I first...

I first installed windows 7 home premium a few weeks ago, and up until a few days ago it worked fine.
Now whenever I try to shut down or reboot the system, it seems to freeze on the "logging off" screen, although the blue circular doughnut still goes round, giving the impression that it's still...

It’s too early to say Microsoft has checkmated Google in online documents – the latest version of Office hasn’t shipped yet. But the sleeping giant in Redmond has clearly woken up to the Internet threat.

In my search for a decent browser, I thought I'd try Safari. Apples assertion that i opens web pages faster is a bit deceiving. They're probably talking about the 12 pages that they have open at once! Collectively they take up around 250mb of RAM on this x86 Compaq C700 laptop. This is a...
I've been using multiple browsers throughout my testing of Win 7, and and come to the conclusion that so many of you have; and that is IE 8 is a real piece of crap. It has gotten to the point where it just doesn't work. Unfortunately, I need Explorer to log onto my MS account to properly utilize...
I put Google Chrome on shortly after first installing the 7000 build. Sometime after, I put on Safari as well, and liked it better, so pretty much stopped using the Chrome. Sometime later, I wanted to compare page load times or something, and tried to use Chrome; it couldn't access any sites...

Since I installed 64-bit 7057 yesterday, the internet access on my computer will just go out 5-10 minutes after I first use FireFox or Pidgin, or anything else that connects to the internet. The Safari browser on my iPod touch, though. What's the deal?
