I have an old HP M8300f with Windows Vista 64 that kicked the bucket three times over the years. I have repaired bulging caps on the mobo twice. This last failure had to with the power supply. I could repair or replace the PS easily and cheap enough, but the machine is simply outdated and not...

Google's Threat Analysis Group has released details about a Windows 10 vulnerability leaving millions of users at risk. Microsoft has not yet published a security advisory or a patch ten days since it was privately disclosed by Google...

Yeah, me too....

I decided to download W-10 Preview on an old XP laptop that I didn't use much anymore because the thing was incredibly slooooow with it's tiny 1.6 Celeron processor. I am surprised how zippy this old thing has become after the install. I can now get familiar with this new OS and decide if I...

A few years ago Adobe abandoned it's Creative Suite and moved to a completely different subscription only model on their top tier software, MS also offered subscription based software on some of it's products. Clint Patterson had this to say about Adobe's move. (Like Adobe, we think...

I smell a rat in the wood pile! At some point Microsoft will probably go to a subscription (monthly fee) based OS.

No wonder they are giving it away! I would take the upgrade if it wasn't for loosing Windows Media Center or not knowing what to replace it with at little to no cost. Upgrading to the latest OS only to lose functionality doesn't make good sense to me. What else would we lose? Wondering if my...

I'm confused, If I install Windows 10 on my W7 machines I will no longer be able to play videos recorded on DVD? That stinks!

I updated two machines (Vista&W7) this morning and discovered that the Bing auto hiding search bar stopped working on both of them. I then applied Microsoft's so called fix and still had the same issue on both. I then uninstalled all August updates and things are back to normal. I am not an...

Fortunate that the power jack on your laptop is not soldered directly to the motherboard. On the ones that are, frequent damage occurs to the soldered connections, or even damage to the circuit board itself because of frequent pulling or sudden accidental strong jerking of the power cable. I do...

I would recommend fixing it as well. One thing that I use is a pill organizer to keep track of all those different screws. Also there are many how to articles on how to solder on youtube. Sometimes depending on your model laptop there are even videos on how to take it apart too. Good luck...

Now, if I just had an Apple store near me. :rolleyes:

If and when you go to Best Buy, make sure it is the D3200 and not the D3100. B&H Photo and Adorama, are both offering a similar deal, but with the D3100, not the D3200.

Most amateur photographers to include myself that own expensive heavy DSLR cameras still want a smaller camera for convenience. I can't recommend a certain type or model camera no more than I can recommend what type car you should buy. I will say if you are wanting to upgrade from a point and...

Best place I know is Microsoft. With that said, I have my own copy. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

I wouldn't mind upgrading my laptop to W7 or 8 if it would be less of a resource hog for the old one.......

Just curious, did you format the hard drive as the first step before the OS installed? I found a bad file from the HP driver install CD on mine that was causing the high CPU loads. My laptop has a small Celeron processor that can't handle any huge resource hog. I use it for imaging purposes when...

Recently I had the same thing happen to me with my HP laptop that has XP SP3 on it. I started out with high processor loads which slowed the thing to a crawl. I decided to do a clean install thinking I had some kind of bug or virus. After the install I couldn't get it to update as well. I tried...

Here is the link I meant to provide. There is a separate download for different browsers. I personally use IE10. A lot of folks do not like Internet Explorer 10 because of past versions of IE. For me IE10 is faster than FF or Chrome and runs just fine, but whatever browser you prefer this add-on...

If you are concerned about your internet privacy you might want to give this a try. I recently installed it from cnet and so far I like it! As a side benefit it is a quasi add blocker too. Obtw it does not slow down my browser either.

As jimdandyvi mentioned, inSSIDer is a very good diagnostic tool. At home I use 5 Ghz for all my wifi needs. I have zero 5 Ghz traffic in my area. Check the thumbnail.;)

Don, click start, type in "Event" without quotation marks in the search bar, click on view event files. Dbl. click Windows Logs, Clear the logs circled in red shown in the image below. Let me know if this helps. ;)

http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/#prettyPhoto I shared this in the Pub back in March. Hope it can help. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/306910-Spy-On-Your-Neighbors-WiFi-(sort-of)?p=3119496#post3119496

Any reason to buy it? Is it any good as compared to others like RealPlayer or Windows Media?

I have Office 2007 installed on 4 home machines, they work fine for me. No reason to upgrade. Sorry I couldn't help Neutron.
