I have registered to another Windows forum a week or so ago. That forum is so lack of new questions that I seldom visit it. Today I decided to see what was cooking there. I came upon a thread which I wanted to reply. It was about running out of disk space in Windows8. I wanted to tell the OP...

Is it just me or the Home tab of this forum was removed? That's where I look for the fresh posts. .

Hi For the last few days I've noticed that I can't paste into this forum. If I need to copy something here, I have to copy and paste it into Microsoft Word, then drag it from Word to the message window. I've tried using both Ctrl, C, V and the right click Copy, Paste options. I don't think...

I will say, missing or writing the rest of an OS because of a certain Start screen is somewhere between sad & silly. Making an big issue, fuss & blockage over a Start screen, that not only doesn't need to be used (There IS choice) but, gets in the way of nothing, hardly makes grounded sense...

Hi all, I just got a brand new computer. It was a gift from my parents. Since my parents know pretty much next to nothing about computers, they got my brother to order it for me. It seems that when the computer arrived he took it out of the box and named the computer and the user file after...

Here is a photo of my W8 Virtual Machine (@ the moment). It's been different & may change again from time to time. Just you'd enjoy sharing a glimpse @ it. There's no traditional Start Menu but, I hardly ever use the W7 Start Menue (now), so it's ok. Between Quick Launch, Pinning things &...
