I've owned an HP pavillion laptop for coming up on 4 and a half years now running windows vista. Just recently, due to a virus, I purchased a new hard drive and the installers uploaded windows 7. I have had a hard time playing videos on any platform. I've also been getting a "display driver has stopped responding and recovered" message. Not sure if these issues are linked, but they both have begun to happen after the new hard drive has been put into my laptop. Any suggestions? I currently have three web browsers installed(IE, Firefox, and Chrome) none of which seem to perform better than the other with playing video. Web pages load just fine. It seems to only be a…

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2640103 This describes my issue exactly. The procedure for obtaining it involves dealing with support. I will not give you guys my credit card info as I really don't want to even have a remote chance of paying for this fix - I just want to know where to get the fix. Sorry if I am being a bit blunt, but I've been ran around several loops trying to find a way to contact support that doesn't involve being asked for financial info. Thanks for any help~!

Hi, I tried to download a free AI reviewer, big mistake, with it came something called, secure.conduit.com. I uninstalled both the AI reviewer and secure, etc., but it won't go away! Their search engine keeps coming up. I try inputting my own into the browser, which works temporarily, then all kinds of advertisements come up and a msg. from Windows Defender warning me against the site that appears. I'm also getting a constant, "Internet Explorer has stopped working, will check to see problem and close program", which doesn't happen. I have to click off the dialogue box. Needless to say, I don't know what to do since I thought by uninstalling that would solve the pro…

I picked up Trojan:Win32/Orsam!rts and found it almost immediately with Microsoft Security Essentials. Now it is in MSE's history, and it IS quarantined... But although it is quarantined, the program can't remove it OR restore it. (BTW, I might want to restore it because I know Malwarebytes as well as HitmanPro can remove it-- but with it in MSE's quarantine, Malwarebytes nor HitmanPro don't find it???) Any suggestions, aside from leaving it in MSE's quarantine forever? Continue reading...

So anyways I think my computer is a goner already and that there is no way to fix this, but if anyone can I help I would appreciate it. The problem that me computer has is that when I try to start it normally a black screen will appear. There is also a Windows Explorer has stopped working message and a 000000 error message which prevents me from doing anything with anti virus software. I have tried to start the computer in safe mode but the same thing happens to it. I have also tried to recover my computer but it automatically restarts the computer when I try to. I have no backup restore discs or anything. I have a dell desktop. Any help would be appreciated! Contin…

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with all patches I right click on an executable and select Scan with Microsoft Security Essentials. There is a brief flash of a window (too fast to see what it says) and then: Scan completed on 0 items. No threats were detected on your PC during this scan. The same thing happens if I select more than one executable. It also reports that it scanned 0 items. Is this a bug in the information shown or is it really not scanning anything?

Okay now I have an issue with windows, namely secureboot and UEFI. This is not for my computer but for my fathers machine. As an early birthday present I got my father a HP Pavilion laptop that came preinstalled with windows 8.1 but he didnt like it and wanted a dual boot. So I gave him Ubuntu 13.10 as it has UEFI support and everything was fine until we updated to Ubuntu 14.04. Sadly it did not load windows via grub and windows would fail to boot. However after repairing the windows boot manager I knew I had to reinstall linux which would normally be fine but now windows and windows alone now boots, no grub, no nothing. I heard recently of this story: http://new…

Hi there, I'm fairly new to linux so please bear with me! I'm currently trying to set up an ad-hoc network to print from an ipad to a canon pixma mg7150 via my little eeepc running xfce. I've modified the CUPS configuration file and printing works fine when everything is connected to my home network, whether the printer is connected via usb to the eeepc or directly to the network via wireless, everything works fine. However on initialising the ad-hoc network, the printer fails to find the network, and if I connect it to the eeepc via usb and search for airprint printers on the ipad it does not show up. I'm sure it must be a setting I am missing on the ad-hoc network bu…

The very best iPhone and iPad apps to store, organize, edit, and share your photos and videos! Looking for the best iPhone apps and best iPad apps to store all your photos and videos and keep them safe? Well, you should be!

But which iPhone and iPad photo and video storage apps are the absolute best? Continue…

Disney has just announced the cast for Star Wars Episode VII. It includes the original stars, some transplants from other beloved geek franchises, and some fresh faces. It also has a great name on the script, but thankfully not that name. It couldn't help but make me wish the new Star Wars movie was out and available on iTunes already. Then I realized none of the Star Wars movies are available on iTunes. It's 2014, why can't I watch Star Wars on my iPhone or iPad yet? Continue reading...

Hello, We recently purchased a new Sitecom router, because our old one (also Sitecom) was having troubles due to old age. I was able to connect after a bit of fiddling on my laptop (HP Pavillion with Windows Vista), but my dad couldn't get it right on his PC (LG with XP professional). The thing it does there is find the network, attempt to connect to it, fail, and then try it all over again for ever. I booted the PC in safe mode with networking options and it connected just fine there, not a single issue. Does anyone know how I can connect normally? Continue reading...
