That's right: It keeps setting all these Microsoft programs to the "allowed" list. I don't use them, I don't need them, and I have half a mind to destroy their respective directories, because windows seems to want to hang on to them for some ungodly reason. Every time I update windows, a...

I have a problem with Windows 8. This morning when I went to check my ASUS Zenbook laptop, the PC wouldn't access the network, even tho I could see our home network was working. I did a hard reboot and returned several minutes later to find I had been logged in under a temp password and all the...

Since about a week ago, whenever I turn on my laptop and login to Windows 7 I can't click anything for about 5-10 minutes (changes every time). A loading icon pops up while I can't click anything (reminds me of Mac spinning wheel of death). Sometimes the wallpaper will go white and a box comes...
