Need Advice Regarding a Neew Graphics Card for my Windows 10 rig

I was reviewing my old posts to day and thought I would update this one. Since I first posted this thread I had nothing but problems with my PC but I could not 100% blame it on my old ATI based graphic card. I know there were times when I would play a very high motion video (like the on where...

Network Adapter has gone MIA

Unfortunately, ASUS doesn't have Windows 10 drivers for this older board so I decided to not waste time and had a new NIC installed for $20. I talked to two Tech's I know and both said that onboard NIC's are prone to sudden failure and they typically don't waste the customers money trying to...

Network Adapter has gone MIA

I uninstalled the Network adapter before I posted and the NIC is onboard my ASUS Mobo so I cannot re-seat the card. After I uninstalled the adapter from my devices list and rebooted Windows 10 did not re-discover the adapter as I had hoped.

Network Adapter has gone MIA

I have a Realtek PCIe GBE family NIC on my ASUS motherboard that was working fine today but has now gone MIA. Can anyone assist me in recovering this NIC? I was trying to install a new graphics card tonight but the new card will not fit so I put the old card back in. I booted my Windows 10 64...

Does anyone know anything about the 7-Zip beta?

Thanks for the reply. I've read the DevLog for the beta and alpha versions and from what I saw it seems like most of the stuff in these prior versions is stuff that most occasional users would rarely use. Is that a fair statement? Also can you tell me if there has been any changes to the...

Does anyone know anything about the 7-Zip beta?

I'm fed up with WinZip and was about to uninstall it and install 7-ZIP instead but I noticed that there's a beta version out there in addition to the stable GA version. Does anyone know anything about the beta version? For example I would like to know what's different between the beta and the...

Problems setting the default browser in Windows 10

The problem I have with forums is that people, even people that provide support, seem to have a preference for one forum vs another and you may not get any answer to your problem unless you do post on multiple sites. In addition, sometimes your answer comes from someone that is not a forum...

Problems setting the default browser in Windows 10

Digerati: Yes, I surf many forums and I think I posted this same question on several other forums. It appears to me that the option to open a new tab instead of opening a new instance of IE is the option that mirrors the behavior of having Edge as the default browner. Here's what the registry...

Problems setting the default browser in Windows 10

I'm not sure that this is a Windows 10 issue or and Outlook 2010 issue or a combination of the two. Since Edge doesn't have extensions for 3rd party apps, Norton Security recommended that I change my default browser in Windows 10 from Edge to Internet Explorer. I did that by clicking...

Thanks. Oh, and by the way..... I'm a retired computer support specialist and I know the frustration of leaving open thread out on Forums when your trying to find a solution. If I have to nuke my PC and start over Everyone will know it. :smile9:

Option to uninstall apps on Windows 10 is unavailable from the start menu

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question as I didn't even know that that functionality existed in Win 10 until I was trying to uninstall Solitaire that Microsoft put down on my PC when I ungraded. I posted a query on several forums trying to figure out how to do this...

Thanks for the reply. The problem appears to be on all apps found in the Start Menu. For example I have the same version of Quicken and CCleaner installed on my desktop PC and My laptop. On my laptop I can right click on these apps and they show multiple options in the drop down menu...

Apparently, I have yet another problem with Windows 10. I noticed today on my laptop that that when I right click on an application from the start menu there are options such as Pin to Start, Pin to Taskbar, Uninstall, Run as Administrator and Open File Location. However, when I right click on...

Receiving a 0x8024402f error after restoring Windows 10 from a backup.

Thanks for the reply and I appreciate the thumbs up on the fact that I posted something about my mystery fix~. Personally, I think it's a disservice to post a problem in the hope of getting an answer and then not replying with an outcome as some other needy individual maybe looking for a...
