My laptop did an automatic upgrade to Windows 10 Home recently; formerly it was Windows 7 Home Premium. Since this change, the touch pad (HP G56) will not scroll on any document or web page. When I attempt to update the driver I am told it is up to date and also that the device is working...

In recent years it seems like nearly every browser under the sun has become a clone of google chrome in some form or fashion. From Opera,to Maxthon, to Edge to even Firefox looking more like chrome then it does its own browser. Its attack of the chrome clones and its gotten very stale and...

I have W10 and edge but edge won't support addons like Roboform which I use everytime I am on the computer. I have been trying to use the newest version of IE, but for some reason it won't stay installed. If I select it from the taskbar a blank page opens up with all my favourites in the bar...

I just recently built a computer for myself, but for some reason I am plagued with constant BSODs, most of which have different error codes but all pointing to ntoskrnl.exe driver. I've tried to do some troubleshooting on my own by reinstalling Windows, running Memtest86 overnight with no issues...

Probably a simple question . . . . when viewing web sites, emails, etc. and as the mouse rolls over a "linkable site" - the web address flashes up on the screen (and it's LONG, REALLY LONG!!) and I can't see anything around it that I am supposed to click on! Is there a way to hide that address...

Hi This is a weird one. I posted a while back about internet searches not working as well as they used to. Well today I was looking for the address of some one I haven't seen in a long time that we are going to have lunch with. I typed in, (the names have been changed to protect the innocent)...

I am very angry right now because I have tried to connect to proxies via proxy over and over again for YEARS possibly, I've looked for so many online tutorials, but it NEVER works for me on my end and I have NO idea why. I really need to use a proxy right now and for it to actually work. What...

This has just started happening in the last week. Never had it occur before. Can anyone help solve this? After doing a Google search and bringing up a page of website options - I then try to click on the website link I want to look at. BUT as I click on the website I want to go to - the page...

Okay scroll starts acting up when I am about half way down on a web site. I have noticed it ever since I downloaded Win 10. I have to close the site or it sometimes freezes up completely. Using win 7 at the time. I thought that is might have to due with how many windows I have opened and I...

RoboForm will not work with Edge, MS's new Internet Browser simply because Edge does not allow extensions. RoboForm programmers state that until the Edge programmers allow extensions, there is nothing that they can do to make RoboForm compatible with the Edge Browser. Come on, Microsoft! Quit...

Hi Has anyone else experienced Chrome blocking video if you run Ad Blocker? If I turn on Ad Blocker the ad is gone and I get the sound, but there is a black screen in the video window. If I turn Ad Blocker off the video returns but I have to watch the same ad, over and over every time I run a...

Hi Because I'm having issues with Chrome showing video from my Comcast Home Page, (worked fine until a few days ago) I decided to give Edge a real try, and see if I could make the switch. I found Edge to be such a pain to use that I decided to live with not being able to see the news videos...

One of the major issues I and others have had is using Microsoft Edge on the internet. Yes its fast but noise on the net really get the best out of Edge. If you have not managed your host file, you seriously do not know Microsoft Edge. (Note, there will be an ad block for Edge eventually but...

I got used to the Metro version of IE in Windows 8.1 and actually like it. Now, in Windows 10, I can't find any way to get that look and feel. Is there any way to get that Windows 8.1 Metro version of IE in Windows 10? Thanks for any help. Jim
