This is a fantastic operating system... If you have NVidia. My laptop is bottom of the barrel i3 with an NVidia graphics chipset and windows ten is amazing on it. 10 takes the best parts of 7 and 8 and puts them together into something completely workable. The addition of Cortana for the...

Ok, for a bit now when I go online, like I try to check email or something for instance, then suddenly a new window will pop up with like 5 tabs open and usually none of them have actual sites in them...for no reason. I use my avira for virus protection and I use spy bot, adaware and...

So, I want to reformat my old Pentium machine before loaning it to my sister, but, that means freeing up my copy of XP Professional 32 bit from this machine. I have a copy of XP Professional 64 bit and a copy of Vista Home Basic 32 bit. I figure that XP Professional has the advantages of 64...

Home version for me.

Not sure how many responses this will get, but I was curious. I have a Lenovo SL500 with Vista Basic installed. Battery life is OK, around 4 hours. I recently installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my ASUS EEEPC 1000HE and I really like using Linux. So I was wondering if installing Ubuntu or even a...

I'm sort of in IT, but I am biased towards Windows. What confuses me is with 2.6.29 kernel which is pretty fancy with EXT4 and Global File System v2 support; why won't Linux take over the servers. In 2014, will Windows 8.0 still have a large superiority over Fedora Linux (all the Linux...

Hi Members! I have "Windows Vista Home Edition". I checked to see if there was any updates or upgrades for my "Windows Media Player".I checked the "Properties" to see what version of "Windows Media Player" I'm currently using,but I can't find where it says which one.It just says "Windows Media...

So I got a fairly decent eMachines PC this Christmas and it has Windows Vista 32-bit. This PC does have an AMD Athlon 64 processor, so I was wondering if I would see any benefits upgrading to the 64-bit version besides being able to install more RAM. Basically, what I'm doing is turning this...

So, for some reason when I turn my computer on. I connect to AIM and Windows Live Messenger it works fine but my web browsers wouldn't work. I turned off my windows firewall which I know is bad and my browsers now work perfect. Why is it doing this? Is there a way I can make my browser and...
