Here's the thing: I have a two InterAct DexDrive's (one PlayStation, the other Nintendo 64). I have two PC's (one connected to the PlayStation DexDrive on COM1, the other connected to the Nintendo 64 DexDrive on COM1), both using Link Removed motherboards. They both hook up to my PC's via...

Three weeks ago, on October 27, 2014, I posted a question on this forum (Windows 7 Software), with title: "IE11 fails to go to links". It's still there. Surprisingly, no one has replied. If anyone has an idea I'd appreciate hearing from you. Should it be in a different forum?

Hi, My trusty netbook needs to be retired after 5 years of hard graft, and I'm looking to replace it with a Windows-based tablet. My current preference is the Surface 2 (not the surface pro 2, for the avoidance of doubt). Battery life is key for me as I use it primarily in court, where I...

I have a Sony laptop with Windows 8.1.1 on it. When using something like IE 11 the taskbar refuses to go into hiding. I see now that it does when a program is put into full screen mode. I don't remember ever seeing this before, and that may take some getting used to, unless there's a way...

Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 IE10. Today I ran into a peculiar issue. Problem is fixed using system restore. I just wonder if anyone can shed some light as to why or how did that happen...... I clicked Start > All Programs. Instead of seeing what should be on screenshot #1, I saw screenshot...

Has anyone ever heard of a carrying case for a custom build PC? I'm not talking about the PC case itself but like a bag with wheels or something for a PC, for means of transportation. I Googled 'Mid-Tower PC Carrying Cases' but just found a lot of PC cases themselves. Does anyone know if...

Hello. Windows 7 (Pro 64-bit) keeps offering me updates for this. I don't use it as I have a paid-for 3rd party security app. Where is it hidden (I can't find it on the machine) and how can I stop Windows offering updates for it? Regards, Cheemag

Hi All, My PC was running great but when I started it from overnight sleep, which woke at the normal speed, I as always did a manual update to Avast definitions. It did the download as quick as always, but then during the "saving package" it hung. I left it like that for some minutes, and then...

1) I posted an inquiry to this forum about 2 hours ago and note that my thread is the only one that nobody has responded to, so my first question as a new user is, "How long should I wait before exploring other options to try to solve a problem?" I expected that a forum moderator would have at...

Hi. I recently purchased a WD Live TV Hub. To my chagrin, I am discovering that in order to use the Media Library option on the hub, I am needing to go into the library in Windows Media Player on my PC and do some serious housecleaning. Currently I use iTunes as a music player on my PC. Any...

I saw a MS video in which the Windows chief said that "what we have done, we took all good things from Windows 7 and put them in Windows 8". So there should be Windows Xp mode too in Windows 8. Is that there in Windows 8? Or does Windows 8 run all software which Windows 7+XP Mode runs? Also...

I am running virtual XP mode in WIn 7. In XP I am able to map a drive G: that is from Win 7 mapped drive (Microsoft Terminal Services). Great, in Explorer you can see the mapped drive. I need to set up an ODBC connection to a database on that drive. No problem I thought. When I need to select a...
