Native to desktop environment
by Guest maja_ldm- 0 replies
- 314 views
I often wondered on the implication of a program being native to a certain desktop environment. Is it just about GUI style or there are other implications on the performance side? Which means: if I use an old machine, should I try to stick to the DE to which the software I normally use is native or using a "lightweight" desktop environment may compensate a possible decrease in performance when using "non native" programs?

by Guest MadmanRB- 0 replies
- 322 views
I think audacity has just bit the dust for me, I use it occasionally to edit sound files but now it wont work at all anymore. In both Ubuntu 14.04 and Manjaro its latest build just plain doesnt like the newer kernels nor anything else. It plays my music at ludacrous speed and does nothing but crash. So I need a new sound editing program, one with a good gui and decent layout. I need something more then just a simple sound recorder. Continue reading...

iOS 7.1.2 expected to fix issues with email, lock screen, and iBeacons
by Guest Derek Kessler- 0 replies
- 405 views
The next update to iOS won't be the substantial iOS 8 — instead it'll be bug fixes in the form of iOS 7.1.2. Apple has been testing the incremental iOS update for at least a month, though until recently we couldn't tell you what might be inside it. Now we have a better idea: bug fixes, as one would expect from a 7.1.X update. According to MacRumors, the public release is near: Apple has apparently asked carriers to sign off on the update by Friday, June 27, indicating that a public release could occur the following week. According to sources, the build of iOS 7.1.2 does indeed address the email attachment encryption issue, as well as a bug in downloading emails…

by Guest Peter Cohen- 0 replies
- 378 views
Apple buyers guide: Which 802.11ac router should you get? You have an Mac, iPhone, or iPad, and now it's time to Apple-fy (applify?) your network. Apple offers three devices suitable for home network routing: The AirPort Extreme, the Time Capsule, and the AirPort Express. Which one is best suited to your needs, and why? Let's take a look. AirPort Express At under $100, Apple's least expensive option is the AirPort Express. The tiny AirPort Express is almost the same size as the Apple TV, only clad in white plastic instead of black. It measures less than 4 inches on a side and stands less than an inch tall, and weighs slightly more than half a pound. It's li…

How do I add a networked printer? The printer has a wired connection to a router. Its local IP address is 192.168.1.105. The printer name is NPI64867B. My laptop has a wireless connection to the same router. Obviously, network access works fine, since I can submit this posting. Also, I can ping the printer IP address from the laptop. In the Printers control panel, I click on Add Printer, select "A network printer", select "Browse for printer", then click on Next. The following appears: Note that NPI64867B does not appear in the "Shared printers" list. Should it? If I manually enter NPI64867B into the Printer field and click on Next (sh…

Programs And Features View Corrupted
by Guest EricKeil- 0 replies
- 357 views
I recently updated my Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver to the most recent one on my Windows 8 Toshiba p875-s7102 laptop. When I went to the Programs and Features view, this is what I saw: I rolled back to the previous driver, but the view is the same. I reinstalled the updated driver again, and the view didn't change. So basically it is not showing the date installed or the version numbers any programs. All other folder views in Windows Explorer have not changed. I am not updating to Windows 8.1, so don't ask. I have not made any other changes or installed any other programs. Is this something I should worry about? Continue reading...

Battery discharges very fast after formatting my laptop
by Guest RitendraMishra- 0 replies
- 327 views
Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 5755G laptop which I bought about 2 years ago. Along with Windows & my friend had also installed Linux Mint on my laptop. It worked very well when it was bew and for the first year or so I had no problem. But thereafter it started slowing down and until a fortnight ago it was agonizingly slow. So I resorted to formatting it and reinstalling Windows. I also installed all the drivers, updates, etc. But ever since I formatted it, the battery has been discharging very fast. Where earlier I had a very good backup of upto 4hours, now it discharges in under one and a half. I would like to know if someone could help me out and point out the pro…

How do I give a program permission to run automatically?
by Guest Rick9061- 0 replies
- 318 views
I have a program installed that seems to want to modify the system each time it starts. The Administrator needs to allow the program to make changes. I have to allow it to make changes to the computer every time I log in as an administrator, and if a Standard User logs in, an Administrator needs to be there to allow the program to modify the computer. I have tried setting UAC to Never Alert. This is bad for two reasons: any other bad program can do what it wants and I'll never know, and if you set it to Never Alert, Standard Users are denied by default. How can I tell Windows 7 to ALWAYS ALLOW program X to run without granting permissions? Is there a fla…
