Since I did not have much to do, I thought it would be fun to explore other operating systems. After all, with the recent developments in Windows, you never know where this will end up. I looked at a variety of Linux distros. They have an adorable price of $0 and are easily installed in VMware...

I've been playing around with Ubuntu 12.10 that has been installed on a usb and using it as a bootable OS. I must confess to the simplicity of Ubuntu and the ease it took me to get comfortable with it in such a short time. I was flying around in it in less than 10 minutes. Setting up my wireless...

Okay, did a clean swipe of HDD and installed Windows 7 PRO with no problem - everything working fine. Then "appear" to have installed Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows. When I start the computer, I have the choice of either selecting Windows or Ubuntu. When I select Windows, I have NO...

The problem I'm having is that, even though I have normal download speed, my upload speed is almost non-existent. I've been using this custom built PC for about 2 years now. I'm not sure exactly when the problem started either cause for the most part, websites and programs were working (except...

So, after 3 days of frustration to get the Tux for TF2, I very stupidly uninstalled Ubuntu incorrectly, the result was no longer being able to boot Windows 7. I receive a BSOD after the Starting Windows screen. After some googling, it appeared my Master Boot Record was corrupt. I followed all...

Ok so i had a dualboot setup with windows 7 and ubuntu. I decided to remove the ubuntu partition to install windows 8 instead. I used Easybcd to change the bootloader from grub to windows 7 bootloader, and i then deleted the ubuntu partition. I also deleted my windows 7 recovery partition to...

So I'm no parent or anything and I can't give details but we got a foster child in the house now who has to be closely monitored using the computer. As most of us know you don't want to sit there and monitor your child while they use the computer, you got better things to do, right? Well for me...

So in my disk management I'm trying to put my C:/ drive back together after a mishap with Ubuntu. I get here. I click "delete partition" upon right clicking the section labelled "Free space", and it tells me that "There is not enough memory on the disk(s) to perform this operation". What does...

This is all because I had to try to go putting Ubuntu on my PC. X( Here's the order of events: I installed Ubuntu 12.10 as a dual boot, and everything was going swimmingly until I tried to install my video drivers, and I couldn't get into Ubuntu, so I go back to my Windows x64. In my infinite...

Hey everyone, I was wondering is there any plugin for Windows 7 that allows you to expand a folder without actually clicking into the folder? Basically the functionality that is in the navigation pane but not for the main explorer window... OS X and Ubuntu both have this feature, anyone...

Help a brother out. I am unable to actually start windows, bsod's before it actually starts. Machine check exception appears as the bug, as well as 9c and x124 errors. I can't access mini dump files, and Ubuntu disk check informs me of "fatal machine check processor contact corrupt." I...
