I have a situation where I need to run Windows Live Mail in the OFFLINE mode (I'm connected to the internet, but away from my ISP), and the Internet Explorer on ONLINE mode. However, when I change one of them, the other one changes as well. Is there any way to separate them?

People, like myself, that have multilang systems, sometimes are typing something other than English, then go to the Internet and start typing a URL and only when they click Enter, realize that they didn't type in English. URL's are never anything but English so wouldn't it be great if no matter...

Around the new year, I installed new RAM. Ever since, I have been getting BSOD at various times. I ran memtest86 and it came back clean. Unfortunately I left the old RAM a few thousand miles away so I can't test it with that. I also started playing a couple of more graphics intensive games...

Ok, I've had a real problem with I.E. overpowering Firefox. If I click on any link, it opens in I.E. I've tried every suggestion as to how to make FF my default browser, from at least a dozen sources and nothing works. So I tried this. I have a desktop shortcut to this forum on my desktop...

Mozilla and Google say they are building Windows 8-enabled browsers, and Opera Software is looking into the possibility, too. Still, it may not be as easy as with previous Windows operating systems thanks to Microsoft's new "Metro" user interface. Link Removed

First off, I'd like to say that up until now, Windows 8 has been running perfectly for me. If I had seen this on a friend's computer a few days ago, I'd have thought this was a release version. This post is meant more to advise people than as a plea for help. I realize this is a beta version...

While my years of using Windows products overall has been very positive for the 12 years that I've been a MS customer, sometimes they try to break one off in me. Whenever I install XP, I always hide IE8 as an update, due to a bad experience I had when IE8 was released. I didn't even want IE8...

Hello everybody, During the past few weeks my computer has been freezing multiple times a day usually when browsing the web and sometimes not always is followed by BSOD. I'm not really sure what's causing it I've ran the Memtest86+,virus scan, windows update, and have check for the most recent...

I am using W7, home premium on 1 year old HP desktop computer. Recently, I was having trouble accessing videos from you tube, email and other sites. I had been using adobe flash player 9 and I was told to upgrade adobe flash and to get version 11. I installed version 11 but it would not play...

I'm at my wits end. Any help is appreciated. Using the SF diagnostic tool, the only button that didn't pull any info was the minidump. I've changed the setting so it doesn't restart, and to a small size as well. Even after a restart, no info is pulled from the minidump button. Screenshots of...

Don't know where to ask this but I - and many, many others, it seems - have a problem with IE not opening in full screen. I have been up on other site and tried every suggestion I have found but still about half my pages open full page and half don't. I can't believe MS hasn't put out a fix to...

I require assistance with a recurring, yet strangely sporadic and random BSOD problem. Seems to only happen when just browsing the web, as there have been instances where I have played online games such as World of Tanks with it for hours at a time with teamspeak running as well and had 0...

minutes ago #1 I was not sure if this was an appropriate entry in this section. I know it is not directly related to Windows 8 but, like it or not, IE10 is the default. There is a surprising lack of interest on the web, regarding this feature. I have installed Firefox, as a standby, but am...
