Not sure if this is a Windows problem, but I find that when I right click a Word attachment and get the options to open, save as, detach, delete, if I click 'open' it offers me to save it. I'm sure this habit is quite recent and I wonder whether I told it to do the same thing to all future...

I was working with Visual Studio, learning to work with .asp and .html, when I noticed that it was giving me weird font errors. I was reading a .txt file and out putting it to a text box.

What a mess. Took some time but I got a bunch of it cleaned up. The major problem is that the clock isn't showing in the taskbar. There's a blank space where it should be. If I mouse over the space, it will show time/date. If I click, the calendar will come up. I've done internet searches. Fun...

I have gotten this weird unorthodox BSOD for a couple of weeks now. As far as I can remember, the only times I've gotten this was when I was using Google Chrome. I'm running at stock voltage and clock on both GPU and CPU. I don't know how to interpret the dump file myself so I was hoping you...

I took some videos on my iPhone 4S which I wanted to transfer to my Windows 8.1 laptop. I did it in the usual way where I connect it to USB, go into the device on My PC and drag/copy the videos over to another folder. The videos won't play, however. Whenever I try to play them (default through...
