I was recently given a used Western Digital (P/N WDBAAJ0010HS-01) external hard drive but unfortunately it did not have the power adapter included. I tried to find a replacement through WD, but it appears they don't have the model I need available. Amazon and Newegg yielded results that were...

I was recently given a new Netgear AC1750 Wireless router which I want to use instead of the 2Wire Combination DSL modem/wireless router that I was given by AT&T. I've already tested the new router with my wireless devices and I do see a definite increase in range but am I going to experience a...

I recently installed an app from Google Play called "Unlock at Home 2" released by Khroma. Something went wrong during the install process and now I can't uninstall it; specifically it appears in the list of applications but does nothing when I click the appropriate buttons to remove it, no...

Does anyone know of any good resources for learning how to insert custom Genre icons into iTunes 10? I find a myriad of sites and even applications to do this in OSX, but none for Windows. Also, on a side note, does anyone know of any good album art screensavers, like the one that comes standard...

I recently bought a Logitech MK320 Wireless Keyboard/Mouse which comes with some built in shortcut keys (Web Browser, E-Mail, Etc.) and whenever I press the "Media Player" key it brings up VLC. What I would like for it to do is launch Winamp instead. So my question is this: is there a way to set...

Earlier today I unplugged my system unit to check on why my keyboard wasn't working, and when I plugged everything back in my sound was working perfectly. I don't know why it fixed it, but everything seems fine now. Thanks for everybody's help though.

The PC is clean, fully updated and all the drivers are in order.

I normally would trudge through Google to figure this problem out, but it's difficult to word so I figured I'd bounce it off some reasoning human beings. When XP loads, everything loads fine except the sound. I don't mean it freezes or doesn't load at all either, Windows and all my programs...

A while back, due to some unsupervised web browsing, my machine was hit by several nasty bits of spyware and trojans. After seemingly having removed them I noticed that instead of the standard "page not found" and other various browser error pages I get pages for unscrupulous search engines and...

They probably have a router that is pre-WPA and forget trying to get someone to pick a secure password let alone use a WEP key.

What kind of router do you use? You may want to upgrade to a newer model that uses 802.11g which is better for the amount of network traffic that online games require. Or take staraightv6's advice and adjust the antenna and maybe move your machine closer.

Depends on the manufacturer, some companies make it more difficult than others. Usually all you would have to do to access the partition is disable the startup program designed to lock you out of it. To figure that out go into the msconfig menu (Start>Run>"msconfig") and look under the startup...

Its a problem with how the folder opening behaves under the file types "Open With" setting. I already made sure that the folders are set to open in one window under the "View" tab in the folder options menu.

A while back I was attempting to change the default icon for regular folders within windows and in the process I must have deleted the "open" file action, so I attempted to recreate it. In the box asking for the default program to open with I put "explorer" which made the most sense at the time...
