Below, I will Describe what it is, I'm attempting to accomplish. At my job, we have a networked Hard drive, and everyone has access to this Hard Drive.

I opened "Computer" Navigated to the Z: drive, and in the 'search bar' under 'add filter' only Date Modified, and Size are available. Simply typing in Tags: in the search bar, doesn't work.

So i recently purchased GTA IV on Steam wich requires Windows Visual C++ 2005, BUT today i randomly got this weird error saying, SECUROM ERROR 2000. I looked up on youtube on how to fix it and all they say you have to do is go into the install folder of GTA 4 and in there you have to install vcredist_x86. BUT when ever i click install it installs it for a little bit and then when it's almost at the end this error message comes up "Error 1935.

I read another post which said to run command prompt as administrator and type [sc config winDefend start= "enabled"] and then [sc start winDefend] but it says "windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. a recent hardwar…

Alright, so going through my PC and uninstalling unused software, I stumbled upon a program that was installed without my consent. While trying to uninstall it, it took my to a website. So, to uninstall this program, I have to install a program to uninstall it. It must have gotten past my antivirus application. Is there a way to uninstall it without installing the possible trojan/virus? Thank you in advance. Continue reading...

by Guest Joshua_947- 0 replies
- 329 views
I got on my desktop computer the other night and found that I had the ICE virus. It is the one where the computer is locked and it says you have to pay to unlock you computer. Well, I tried to boot the computer in all 3 safe modes the computer would just end up shutting down. I was able to get to system restore eventually by booting with the Windows 7 disk. I got an error though something like x08000ffff. I then was able to sign in and the ICE virus appeared to be gone and then a window popped up that said that the system restore was successful. I should mention here that I disconnected the computer from the internet and that I restored my computer to a month back to May …

How to get a mouse smoother in games
by Guest berserk- 0 replies
- 312 views
Hello I am using Ubutnu 12.04. I am also using a 1000 DPI mouse. In the system the precision of the mouse leaves a lot to be desired. My monitor is 16:10. In windows there is a TICk 'improve mouse precision' - after ticking it the cursor of the mouse seems improved. But the system is not the problem. What is worse, in games aiming at your opponents is far from satisfactory. No precision at all. Is there a way to improve the mouse cursor? Maybe by installing sth some packets? thanks Continue reading...

Handoff in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite: Explained
by Guest Rene Ritchie- 0 replies
- 321 views
Handoff is a major element of Apple's "integration" theme, and of the new Continuity feature set for iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, which also includes cross-compatible AirDrop, iPhone call and SMS handling on the iPad and Mac, and the new, much easier to connect, tethering service. Rather than trying to fit one interface across a range of different devices, or making the cloud the center of the universe, Apple is promising to transparently, seamlessly move whatever activity you're doing to whatever device you want to continue doing it with. It's a person-centric choice and a bold one, but if Apple delivers, it could forever change the way we use our iPhones, iPads, and Macs. S…

Everything you need to know about Fitbit
by Guest Robert J Nelson- 0 replies
- 347 views
Using technology to try and improve your fitness is becoming more and more common these days. There are a variety of devices available, however one of the lower cost and simpler to use options is a fitness tracker. These trackers are coming from a variety of well known companies such as Jawbone, Nike, Garmin and even Samsung. They are also coming from some newer companies such as Misfit Wearables. But while wearables, and fitness trackers in particular, may be somewhat of a new trend -- there is one company that seems to have a slight edge in terms of name recognition. That company is Fitbit, and despite this all being a new trend, they have already been around for mor…

by Guest Harish Jonnalagadda- 0 replies
- 358 views
Rovio's latest instalment in the Angry Birds franchise is an RPG, which is quite different from the physics-based gameplay that has made the series an international hit. Called Angry Birds Epic, the game was soft-launched in Canada, Australia and New Zealand earlier this year, but is available globally now. Angry Birds Epic follows a free-to-play model that is becoming increasingly popular with studios. The game follows a turn-based RPG format which sees players battling pigs with a team of birds. Along the way, players can acquire and upgrade weapons, potions and armor, level up and unlock new characters. Users also have access to a crafting engine that allows them …

Instead of individual tracks, the focus will be on playlists, with Amazon stating that there are currently hundreds of "expertly programmed" playlists to choose from. The service als…

I installed the latest drivers for my motherboard, but every time I turn on the system i have to go to " Device Manager" and have to scan for hardware changes to make my internet connection work. "82579LM Gigabit Network Driver" changes to "82579V Gigabit Network Driver" only after i scan for hardware changes.And another thing is that the internet would be connected and the torrents are downloading correctly whereas the browsers don't work. Does the driver has anything to do with it? and how to keep the network driver changed without having to scan every time? Continue reading...
