Hello, so I came back from studying 5 months in another state, and since I came to turn my PC on for the first time since October I found out that the Windows explorer was brainfarting a lot, affecting other functions like the Windows Update, Desintallation/Installation, and other Windows...

After reformatting and reinstalling W7 Pro and getting it all set-up and updated i am going to do an image ( with one of the tools on UBCD). But it occurred to me that in the near future i am going to be upgrading my system entirely and am curious, what happens if i take the image of my current...

In "Windows Explorer" it used to be that if you right clicked a folder you would get a drop down menu that would include many options including "NEW". That would let you make a subfolder for the folder that you clicked. Recently, when you right click a folder the menu does not include "NEW"...

Some time ago I saved a .jpg file I found on the Internet to my desktop, giving it a name that ended with a period. Having done that, I found that the file on my desktop was now an unusable blank, I assume because of confusion caused by that period, so I deleted it and saved the .jpg again...

Just happens about 2 days ago. Before I go and do a system restore, I would like to know if there is a quicker way to fix this annoying popup at the bottom of the screen. It appears as soon as I open IE10. I don't have to logon to any website. I have tried Tools > Internet Options > Security...

My Asus laptop has an intermittent problem where the mouse curser will appear to be fine however when I click on things such as the task bar, exit or minimise buttons it will not do anything, the only way I can use the computer to get into things is by using the keyboard. This happens with both...

I have an HP laptop that came with Windows 8 installed. One of the automatic updates ran and changed pathways to my files. If I click on Libraries, my documents, music, and pics that were there before the upgrade are not there now. I have to click c:/users/myusername/ then whichever folder...

Hello everyone, Recently when playing games, I would get BSOD. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I have screenshots of the problem. Thank you for your time.

My girlfriend was trying to delete multiple folders and somehow the folder icon got changed to 3 blue rectangles. Not only that but now you can't see the properties, delete, or even move the folders. Anytime you try to move them it just creates a shortcut. I've never seen this before. Anyone...

That's right: It keeps setting all these Microsoft programs to the "allowed" list. I don't use them, I don't need them, and I have half a mind to destroy their respective directories, because windows seems to want to hang on to them for some ungodly reason. Every time I update windows, a...

Been having some problems with blue screens for a while now. I recently managed (I think) to deal with ones related to fwpkclnt.sys, thanks to some help on the web. But today I started having problems again. DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS THAN EQUAL and tcpip.sys were the two names I managed to catch...

Thought I'd try to get some insight here -before- I drive myself nuts and spend hours troubleshooting why I can't get the device manager to start. I even went to the system32 folder and tried to run it from there. Also from the start menu, services, performance monitor, computer management...
