I have an Acer Aspire one, running Xp fully Updated OS, I have been and IExplore user version 8.0.6001.18702 with a chrome plug in. Added Chrome and Foxfire as back up browsers... Have done dfrag and clean up Virus/firewall used is Zone Alarm free version.Active realtime scanner running. Used DirectX Diagnostic tool through all the steps, testing every option...no problems. Used most recent version of Microsoft Safety Scanner. No Malware or viruses found. The machine is connected wirelessly to a Brother printer and internet gateway. Often connected via USB to canon scanner, canoscan (LIDE), an external WD hard drive, where most data is stored, ms rollerball, Gigaware key board, several flashdrives, Speakers plugged into earphonr jack. Hard drive went silent while writting this, it tends to get noisy the more I do, at times...it went about a month since the last event of long term noise issues. I use the machine heavy....Facebook games, some in iE8, some in Foxfire, some in Chrome...I find more ready function in iE8 then the others...I keep the plugin to a minimon in all, and the are fast when the drive is quiet...the noise slows all operations down. During noise I cut down on YouTube and other online video...prefered player is Windows Media Player with Realplayer and Quicktime as back ups. I have a 'Deskmate' Charactor that runs most of time, program no longer supported, but it runs good, I have shut it down during noise events. Noise came back As I opened a file folder to make a rtf of report...saved and closed....noise stops..... I think machine's hard drive will die.....in how much time? Given it does, I would like to replace the hard drive and reinstall the OS, not sure how well this machine would work with the current version of Windows, One can find general specs on the Acer Aspire One, can a person who knows "8" well, maybe an MS person comment on wheather * can handle the specs of my AA One....I will continue to use the machine as long as I can....I do want to get a new graphics machine with all the bells an whisles, but would like to keep a usable machine working. Any thing else I can check on this machine....with out adding scareware? View this thread

I use Media Player for all music. Recently I downloaded a number of tunes but they didn't appear in my music library. After searching around I found that they all went into the Media Player's "OTHER MEDIA" library rather than the music library. I can play the music in other media, but can't figure out how to get Media Player to recognize that all the items are music so I can have them all in my music library. View this thread

There is nothing wrong w/ going from Desktop to the Start screen w/ its Tiles for some or all things OR going to WinQ for things OR pinning a bunch of stuff OR having icons all over the Desktop BUT, You might like this approach... It means not having to do any of the 3 things mentioned above. The Applications window sits on the Taskbar. Please note the use, employment of Desktop Toolbar, greatly facilitates ease of navigation &amp allows screen to be 'clean' of icons. <a href= Cheers, Drew [url=' alt='> Drew MS Partner / MS Beta Tester / Pres.

Ever since upgrading to Windows 8 it takes a long time to establish a direct RDP connection to Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008. From Windows 7 it used to take about a second. With the Windows 8 RDP client it takes about a minute to connect to a server. Thanks in advance for any insights into this issue. View the full article

Hello, I have a problem with Speech Recognition. It's working fine listening to commands, and does as I say, however all it hears is commands. I've read somewhere that what it doesn't reconize as a command, is inserted as text. However, it takes every word I say as a command. If it doesn't reconize a command, all it says is: &quotWhat was that?&quot. Does anyone know how to fix this, or perhaps an alternative for Speech Recognition? Thank you in advance.

Windows Vista systems, Windows 8 server, roaming profiles, Outlook using POP3 Microsoft DPM. local copies of offline files are set to be encrypted. Because of past problems with multiple revisions of files group policy is set to synchronize on startup and shutdown. Users are complaining about long delays and slow performance during startup and shutdown times. I suspect that this is because of the synchronization. What is available to speed up the synchronization process or to monitor the total size and speed of the processes? View this thread
