    REQUEST - Please advise on a business PC build

    So since leaving my original profession as a geriatric caregiver/security supervisor at a retirement resort several years ago, I have had the privileged of using my new position as a stay-at-home father to pursue several business ventures that suit my ever-expanding variety of interests. The...

    How do you know so much about computers?

    The old adage, "practice makes perfect." As it has already been mentioned, experience is the best teacher and nothing else can be considered a viable substitute for genuine "hands-on" work. Personally, my specialty is in program functionality and not necessarily computers as a whole. I've...

    Wally-Mart Onn Mouse Issue

    Hello everybody. I purchased a cheapo corded mouse from Wal-Mart a few weeks ago because I do quite a bit of photography and image manipulation for one of my side businesses. That coupled with work in Blender, Fruity Loops and CAD...precise cursor control is a relatively high priority. :( The...

    To be fair, he was responding to three people in one post. There's nothing wrong with being descriptive. :) Best advice yet.

    Windows 7 + Dell Tech Support

    No, that is quite alright. Thank you for offering though. I'm downloading the .iso to my HP desktop that has burn capabilities. Haven't had the chance to do any upgrades to the Dell yet. Thank you for your help, voyager. Dell had me convinced that I needed to purchase another copy of the...

    Windows 7 + Dell Tech Support

    So it doesn't matter that when I enter the product key on Microsoft's verification page that it tells me that it is OEM software and I can't directly download the iso file?

    Bachelor of software engineering (mathematics and physics)

    This still doesn't change the situation. algebra and trigonometry are not the same as pre-calculus, calculus or chaos math. The only advice I can offer is to attend adult education classes in your home country in order to play "catch up", or to attend an accredited 2-year post-secondary...

    What is best for oldies

    I don't see the purpose in installing additional products when Avast provides everything he needs - excluding real-time protection. I'm also fairly certain that AVG's definitions lists are more than capable of detecting those issues. Here is a link explaining how to run a boot-time scan in...

    Bachelor of software engineering (mathematics and physics)

    dano120, if your enrollment counselor has advised you that you do not meet the requisites for your chosen program of study then there is nobody on this forum or any other forum that can refute that argument. In the computer science arena, mathematics and physical sciences are the two main...

    PC desktop erratic problem

    I agree with johnb35 that this sounds like your HDD is about to take a dirt nap. Bad sectors and whatnot. If you are able to boot up into DOS you can run CHKDSK to test and fix your file system. cd \ to root (if necessary) and then type chkdsk.

    recording sound off a movie i made

    Audacity is what I use but unfortunately it isn't very user-friendly is it? Have you tried the default Windows Movie Maker program? Since videos are composed up of two or more tracks (visual and audio), Windows automatically splits the visual frames from the audio track. There might just...

    What is best for oldies

    Avast 2015 is by far your best option. The user interface is forgiving to the inexperienced, but as always, to make the most out of any anti-virus software requires adjusting the settings. https://www.avast.com/en-au/index I should have addressed your Avast complaint before redirecting you...

    Most User-Friendly Linux?

    Nobody is concerned over the fact that Ubuntu 14.04LTS is an open source operating system that utilizes targeted ads? It's spyware. Canonical should be ashamed of themselves. If you MUST use a Linux distro...then you should give openSUSE a go. It offers you the option at install to either...

    Help choosing laptop for music production

    I run FL11, Audacity and Verbose perfectly fine on my 9 year old Lat. You certainly don't "need" a $700 machine to produce music my friend. Save the money, lower your budget expectations, and use the excess to buy yourself a nice MIDI controller or condenser microphone to go along with your...
