I just received a call from a "microsoft rep" I used quotes because I really don't think he was. he spoke with Indian/Pakistani accent. he kept saying that there was an error report that I sent. after I told him that my computer is perfectly fine, has been perfectly fine since I bought it and that i never sent an error report, he changed his story. he said that my computer automatically sent an error report. I then told him that I have been using Ubuntu (an operating system based on Linux. also note that this is not really true.) and he said that if the computer was on, then a report can be sent. he kept telling me to go to start-> right click computer/my computer -> device manager..... I never went past that point. I told him that I know plenty about computers and that I have actually built my own. At which point he said "....I do not believe you are a technical person, and I, a technical person, can help you". Those were his exact words. Another fishy thing was their number. My phone displayed 1-000-000-0000 which (according to yahoo answers http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060919180505AA4G8T5) is something telemarketers use to bypass new laws and the number (probably) can't be traced. after he wasted 15 minutes, I told him that I do not believe he is from microsoft, and that I would report him. And here I am now. I don't think he was a real rep, but if he was (which I really doubt) let me know and would you guys actually call your customers? Thanks, Quillan hong View the thread

I have MS Security Essentials running on two laptops and do full scans at least monthly. The History tab has NEVER listed a detected threat of any kind. The fields on that tab are always blank. How is that possible? View this thread

I cannot keep a connection when I am on the website. I've tried many ways, no luck. I don't know all the jargon, and I don't know enough about the workings of a computer, to be adventurous. If some one is willing to tell me in clear English, I will be eternally grateful to this wonderful person, who will save me many hours of frustration.D.M. View the thread

On my grand daughter’s new lap top computer she got a warning that the Norton antivirus that comes with the computer was soon to expire. I told her all we needed to do was down load Microsoft Security Essentials. Then I discovered that the Security Essentials was already loaded on her lap top. However, it had a warning on the Security Essentials that read “PC POTENTIALLY UNPROTECTED.” So I ran a scan using this service which I am not sure that it really worked. Then I read on the internet that there could be a problem due to having the Symantec still loaded on the computer, so I went to control panel and removed all Symantec from the computer. I then ran a scan. I am still getting the “PC POTENTIALLY UNPROTECTED” warning. And it won’t tell me what action I should take to cure the warning. View this thread

I'm thinking of purchasing Windows 7 now so I can get the Windows 8 Upgrade offer, but I read somewhere that this is limited to PC's that come preinstalled with it. IF I purchase a key from the Microsoft Store right now and install it on my own PC, will the upgrade offer still apply to me? View the thread

l've attempted numerous times to change my computer's monitor sleep mode from 2 hours to 5 hours, and it will not reset, approx. a year ago, l needed Dell to re-install a corrupted hard drive with Windows Vista on it... and l'm still having problems with Vista. They've check the newly purchased monitor and that's not the problem, so how do l go about fixing my sleep mode without Re-lnstalling Vista again ????.... This is pathetic. View this thread

I believe it disappeared after a windows automatic update? All I know is that I now have a desktop gadget gallery that I never had before and my calculator disappeared. Contacting Dell would not be helpful. I believe I should at least have some type of FREE calculator on this system and that Windows should provide it. View the thread

when changing from vista to windows 7, what is the best way to remove the stuff you want to keep ? do I have to go through every folder on the computer ? the soft ware I have disc for I can just un-install, but the soft ware I bought and downloaded is what I am concerned about. I know most od the time I downloaded to my download file, the when it was 'runned' it went to programs, do I have to get both parts ? or can I just get the original download ? how is the best way to keep music, videos, pictures and soft ware, so I don't loose it when I do the clean install ? also, I installed vista a couple times with out problems, is seven just as easy or is it harder ? thanks View the thread

My computer will not allow me to change anything on the file name because it says it cannot find the file. Not sure how the space got there. I may have mistyped it while changing the file name. Is there a fix out there for this problem? View this thread

Posted on File Explorer[/b]“. However none of the functionality of it has changed what so ever, it’s merely just a name change. The change was originally discovered by Win8China who were able to get their eyes on some of the latest builds of Windows 8. Microsoft must be getting pretty close to the final build of Windows 8 at this stage especially since some reckon that the RTM version of Windows 8 will be released towards the end of July.

In the early days of Windows, Microsoft used to use the “File Explorer” which allowed users to create and manage files and directories. However once Windows 95 came along Microsoft renamed this to “Windows Explorer”. What’s also worth noting is that Microsoft also introduced the start button in Windows 95. Now jump forward 17 years and we have Windows 8 which has seen the start button axed from it’s iconic position. Isn’t it a coincidence that Microsoft have now also renamed “Windows Explorer” back to “File Explorer”? I’m sure we can expect to see a few more little tweaks like this in the RTM version of Windows 8, but I would be very surprised if there was any major new features introduced at such a late stage.
