Windows 7 Update caused sound glitch
by Guest JesseFerland- 0 replies

Hello I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1545. I recently encountered an issue with my computer where there was some sort of memory leak that was causing constant freeze ups. Also, the sound on on any sort of media (iTunes, Netflix, youtube, etc.) would glitch every 30 seconds or so. By that I mean it would sound as if the computer was lagging, but it was not always happening at the same times the computer freezing was. After some research I determined that a Dell wireless driver was causing the memory leak, so I uninstalled it and the computer was no longer freezing up. However, the sound issue was still occuring. After a few days of great frustrat…

Conent Advisor won't disable in IE9
by Guest w_washington- 0 replies
- 125 views
Hi, I enabled Content Advisor on some of our computers in our Law Office to block certain websites from being used. Now I'm trying to disable Content Advisor in IE9 and it won't do it. I'll click on the button to disable it and it will ask for the password and I'll put the password in and click on apply. At that time it shows that its disabled. Then when I close out of IE9 and then open it back up again its enabled again..... Another thing I tried was that I've went to the settings and allowed every website that I've previously blocked and then I clicked on apply and then closed out of it. When I opened up IE9 again every website that I allowed showed that it was bl…
