Win7-64 HP OEM on a new desktop at my home and used -only- by myself ... Win7 and I are new to each other. I've heard that it is a good idea to run a user account in my circumstance and avoid using the Admin account for the most part. That's what I've trying to do, and it is a sizable...

Ok, I've searched far and wide (mostly in forums relating to WAMP and APACHE), but I suspect this is related to Win7, so I thought I'd try here. I've used WAMP for several years, with several vhosts set up on development machines using WinXP, then Vista, and now Win7. This *same* setup worked...

Did anyone ever find it useful to change a process priority? I never did. When I encode full HD video in Encore, it takes a lot of CPU power and even if I watch an HD movie on KMplayer, it has a little stutter. I tried lowering the Encore process priority and I also tried raising the...

Does anyone happen to know how to get thunderbird to set itself as the default mail program. I keep checking the yes box, but everytime the program loads it comes back up. Really anoying.:cool:

Hi All, OK, so here's the problem. I've installed Office 2010 64-bit, but since I have one important add-in not compatible with Word 2010 64-bit, I've installed my old Word 2007--it was installed fine, but... Both Word 2010 and 2007 are installed in different folders, and I can run them. Both...

Greetings all. I am a Windows 7 Ultimate user, who ran into a problem in a game. I lost a key-item to continue the story, but to get it back means to reload a save so far back, and I truly do not look forward to this. So, I figured to simply get me one through the console of that game. This...

A website I use for work was giving me problems. I contacted the company's tech support and they said in order to use their service in Windows 7/ IE 8 I had to run IE as administrator. This does the trick but I don't want to have to go through the step of "running as administrator" every time I...

I'm running Win7 Pro x64, which is a fresh install upgrade from WinXP Pro x32, installed during the first weekend in November, just a few weeks ago. I've included more detailed specs in my user profile, though I don't think my questions are spec-dependent. I just had the strangest problem. I...

Windows Media Player is listed under possible default programs in control panel, and in the options dialogue that opens when I insert a DVD - but Windows Media Center is not. And there don't seem to be any file association settings within Media Center. In order to play the DVD in Media...

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct category for this, so feel free to move it if it's not. I am using an HP Pavillion tx13321 laptop which come with a program called 'Verisoft single sign on' and a fingerprint scanner so I can log in using my fingerprints. This is an awesome...

Okay this issue has been banded around the internet for a while, but since we managed to solve the Vista "Black Screen with Documents folder" issue I am keen to see what we can do to solve this one. Basically the issue is. 1. After a while of not using the web browser (or sometmes while...
