Hello, I have 8GB of memory in my computer. When I power it up, the memory usage starts out at somewhere between 10%-20%, which I think is OK. After a while of using the computer and opening & closing programs, the amount of memory being used steadily increases, until it escalates to around...

Whenever I try to update, I get the "Code 8024402C" error. It's apparently a network error. I have tried every possible solution on Microsoft's website, but it still gives me the error. I also scanned my computer with TDSSKiller, my antivirus and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Svchost.exe is also...

I'm sorry for the tone of this e-mail, I cannot take this anymore. I have some sort of virus/intrusion on my machine that WILL NOT allow me to click on a Google search result without re-routing me to an irrelevant result. This is outrageous. I have used SIX different virus/malware programs for...

Hello I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7. Now when I connect my HP Officejet G85, it automatically installs the Windows7 driver that comes with Windows7. Printing and scanning is working properly, but I seem to be unable to use it as a FAX machine. The printer came with a CD...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me what is the correct/best program to open, view and to search TIFF files with, under XP one could open with windows fax viewer and seach for text in the opened file. The W7 programs MS Office picture viewer, Windows Photo Viewer etc will open view & print but no search...

After some searching I located where to create a custom Paper size in the printer setup. However, when I proceed to scan (via the document feeder, not the flatbed), I still cannot get the newly defined custom Paper Size to appear in the pre-defined list of page-sizes that are available - and...

Hey, I have two machines, both running Win 7 Ultimate. Today I discovered that neither will read a CD or DVD. Both will show the icon of the disc loaded, show the proper remaning space, but not let me open the drive contents in explorer. I can scan the CD with my AV and see the files being...

I installed Windows 7 and it was working fine. However, a few days ago two things happened: 1) Windows installed an update, and the icons at the bottom of the screen began to bring up small windows showing the folder/program, instead of simply just listing their names vertically, and 2)...

Hi I'm using the windows 7 RC build 7100 and just recently my antivirus started picking up what it said was a spyware running using the svchost.exe and at the same time I lost part of the system which allows you to select options for windows and the like. This is what it looks like: Link...

I had this problem with the RC and I had hoped it would stop when the final version came out, but no luck. I subscribe to several podcasts through Itunes and purchase music from Amazon, which all show up just fine in their respective folders in the Music folder and library. At first, WMP would...

Hi everyone, I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64 on a Dell XPS M1530, and I've been having issues with the system locking up intermittently. The lockups occur at random and seem to be independent of how many and what programs I am running. Lockups have occured both when the computer is idle and when...

Would somebody please tell me what in W7 is scanning my downloads for infections? I do not have any security software installed yet. This is driving me crazy. I did a fresh install as part of my XP Pro to W7 Pro upgrade. I then removed the XP old files. Thanks. J.
