software limitations

On my Laptop I upgraded to Windows 8 - back in 2011. Prior to the upgrade when travelling overseas I was able to download onto CD discs my original music. Because I wanted to save space - I would only take with me a bunch of printed covers and then purchase blank CD'S and cases wherever I was...

Hi All: One of my Clients is claiming that an older version of Adobe Reader (v9 or v10) was able to Edit pdf documents. I was wondering if this was true? Last month she experienced problems with her Reader when she tried to upgrade to v11; and we had to make a paid support call to Adobe...

I don't understand this at all. Why did they take away this VERY important function? You can no longer drag and drop pictures to and from dropbox to a folder on your computer! This is so aggravating that I feel like throwing my computer in the trash. I cannot use skydrive. It won't link to it...

Hey people. I've been using windows speech recognition software since it was included in Windows Vista and now windows 7. To be completely honest I didn't really think that a free voice recognition system was gonna be that good because I've used many in the past and they weren't very accurate...

I was surprised that inspite of having an advanced version of the Windows Media Player, the playback speed increment feature of the previous versions has not been included in the same spirit. Sure you can depress Ctrl+Shift+G but that increases the play speed to a meagre 1.4X. The previous...
