Just a simple question. How do I change my avatar? The whole site is different and I'm getting lost half the time.

Sorry about the really long url but I don't know how to shorten it. The article it links to points out six things you can do to improve your wifi connection up to and including security. It also (laughs a little) says people or rather the human body because it is made up of mostly water anyway can interfere if too many gather in one place at a time. I thought it worth the read.

What does it mean if I click on empty recycle bin and nothing happens. Won't empty if I do it through sysmetrix or right clicking on Nexus dock.

     Yesterday it was an issue with Windows update. I thought it was solved. It started out with two of my browsers not loading correctly. Today however its something more serious. IE, Chrome and FF are all being redirected to the Comcast billing site. No matter what link I click on or site in my speed dial they all go to Comcast. I believe it started when I opened yahoo. There was an ad on the page for comcast that didn't fully load. When I clicked on mail it started. I ...

Just a few minutes ago I opened FF and the top of the page where the shutdown, min and max buttons are was gone. The forward and back buttons were still there though. I closed FF and opened Chrome and got the same thing. Even going online they both experienced the same problem, opening an ew tab every time I press a key, it didn't matter which key either. Had the same problem with opening windows. They didn't open fully with part of the top missing and I also noticed that WindowBlinds re...

Just started a few minutes ago. Rotating info for the weather usually stays where I put it. Not this time however. I've tried every setting I can think of and I still can't get the weather to stay under the graphics. All the other info for the weather stays put except the rotating info. Screenshot shows Sakura being worked on. Notice the two doors on the bottom, one closed the other open. Help please. After a lot of messing around in smx I realized the rotating info for the weather is...

Yama Tough he calls himself. Took the source code off of Indian government servers. Those using Norton should think twice.

I got a friend who just bought a Macbook and he wants to know if WB will work on his machine. I told him I wasn't sure. Anyway ... he would like to try it out if at all possible.

So I got my brand new used laptop and I'm missing some apps whose install packs are on the other drive, the old one. Bins for one. I can't find the installer, I had the beta version and Winstep. I have the dock only but not the shelf. Also photoshop doesn't work so good nor does cfx.. On CFX the cursor is invisible when I apply one. I had to uninstall CFX because I had no cursor at all. Its there but I can't see it except when I mouse over something. As for photoshop, when I open...

Apple's QuickTime isn't being patched according to the article. I know its on Win7 but not on 8.1 or 10. The Department of Homeland Security urges those who have it to uninstall it due to security flaws.

The article said it does not install any software on its own and it has a just minted Digi-Cert SHA256 certificate MS hasn't seen before. Also it can be used easily by non experienced users to prevent the upgrade. YMMV
