I'll try explain this as best as I can, but its a unique problem for as much as I have searched? Basicly every time I boot up, I end up having to re-install my network drivers as they report as "Limited" with the warning symbol over the connection icon. I've tried everything to get it back...

I installed Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit a month ago in place of XP (Home). I had previously checked that everything would be compatible with Win7 before installing it, and it installed with no problems. From the first day, however, I started getting random crashes, often when a picture changed...

Hi I am trying to make a network between two machines. One is set with Windows 7 and other with Linux. When I make a Ping from Windows to Linux it works ok, in other hand from Linux to Windows it doesn't work. I set the Windows Firewall Down and the Ping from Linux to Windows worked good, but...

For some reason I can't run any .exe-files I've downloaded (both drivers and most programs). When I download i.e. Foxit Reader it can't be run from the download list in Firefox and the destination I picked for the download doesn't contain the file. It's gone! I hav e the same problem when...

Hey, I've been using the beat for a few days now, and can't resolve this predicament. My programs (notable, the Zune Software) can't connect to the internet. I can't login to my Zune ID, access the marketplace, or get info from the album info DB when needed. Another program I use, a twitter...

I just bought a new PC with Windows Vista Home Premium in it. It had been alright during the first few weeks until this time when I can no longer access the User Accounts and Family Safety as well as the Security Menu in the Control Panel. There is a shield besides the Allow a Program through...

I want to set up an IP block from a bunch of blocklists for my Internet security. I can't do this, even with Windows Firewall with Advanced Security in Administrative Options. This is pissing me off. As far as I can tell, Windows Firewall requires you to put in an entry for each IP range and...
