I have tried every method of turning off the damned magnifier, but none of them are correct in Win 7. The above method has no "Turn on Magnifier" box to uncheck anywhere. This is REALLY aggravating! Going to Mac if I can't get this off my computer soon. View the thread

I've lost the navigation pane in WLPhoto Gallery and I can't "go up a folder" or reverse my steps in the folder hierarchy at all. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd time this happened I ultimately returned to normal by doing a system restore. The fourth time... no such luck. I'm stuck in a particular folder until I download more photos and then I'm stuck there. It's making me absolutely crazy. I've got these recovery disks one of which is the Windows Experience but I have no idea if this will be a help. Any suggestions? View the thread

About a week ago whenever I go to different emails in my box, my mail will close and then reopen again. It just says an error has occurred and it starts back up. If I don't skip around in my email box it doesn't seem to happen as much but if I want to keep something in email and then go to another one it shuts down. View this thread

After cold booting my Toshiba Satellite laptop with Vista, Task Manager's Processes pane will show no instances of iexplore.exe. However, after using the computer for a while (using Outlook, Crome, Excel etc.) my system slowly grinds almost to a halt as multiple instances of iexplore.exe appear in the Processes pane, each consuming 15 to 25% of the total CPU cycles. This gets worse and worse until the system become unusable.I am one of many thousands of Windows users who is plagued by the iexplore.exe virus. I've used 5 different malware/virus removers (including MS Security Essentials and MSERT.exe) but they don't solve this problem. Why hasn't Microsoft acknowledged thi…

Hey, So okay, today i tried to download a trial verison of Office 2010. I didn't know what bit to click so i choose the 64-bit. So after about two hours it told me my laptop couldn't download the 64-bit. So i was like ok no big deal. I went back online, to my account, click advanced settings, then 32-bit, redownloaded it and yet again waited. It told me again it couldn't download a 64-bit. So i retried this like 12 times. It didn't allow me to download it in the first place so there is nothing to uninstall. I have spent the last 30 mins searching for the answer but my specfic question hasn't been asked, therefore answered. I have a big project due monday and i need …

At the D: All Things Digital conference in June 2011, we demonstrated for the first time the new user interface that we developed for Windows 8. This new UI is fast and fluid to use, and optimized for mobile form factors such as laptops, tablets, and convertibles, where people spend the vast majority of their time today. Windows 8 works equally well with mouse, keyboard, or your fingers, and has the best pen support of any OS. It supports multiple displays and the widest array of configurations and form factors of any OS. On top of all that, Windows 8 introduces a new kind of app, which we codenamed “Metro style” following the design language that has evolved going back t…
