Running Windows 10, Dell XPS 13

I first noticed the problem about two weeks ago. Every time I restart my laptop I receive a message that Windows Firewall is turned off. I'm given the option to...

That did it. Thanks again, Jim.

When opening a new tab in IE10, the page opens with 10 tiles of sites I have previously visited. I see the option on the page to hide this function. I'm wondering where is the option to turn it off...

Ran that program you linked to and whatever it did, it worked. Thank you.

After doing a fresh install of Windows 7 and installing IE10, I'm unable to download any files from the internet using the Run option. For example, trying to download a trial version of any app,...

Fixed. Under Tools>Internet Options>Browsing History>Delete, I had checked Cookies and Website data. Removed the check and login info is being remembered. Thank you.

Hi, Steven. Not using any apps like CCleaner, so I know that isn't the issue. As for settings that can be tweaked, any specific suggestions? I've played with the ones I'm familiar with, but to no...

Just did a fresh install of Windows 7, and this included IE10, also. I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious, but for the life of me I haven't been able to have my login and password info saved. ...

Checked the BIOS but I didn't see any option for setting drive to IDE mode.
The boot order was changed so the CD drive was first.
Been playing around with it all morning and this is what I am...

The laptop was running slow and I decided it was time to clean things up and get her running like new again. Backed up everything and wiped the drive using KillDisk.
Three and a half hours later...

Hi, Anne. I'm on the fence about which way to go, 7 or 8. The advantages of 7 are I know it and I like it. But 8 is new and shiny and, from what I've read, offers much better performance. The...

That's what I was looking for, Steve. Thank you!

OK, then. Are they available at all?

I'm trying to create a slipstreamed Windows 7 disc to do a clean install with. My update history shows 192 files. Does MS make previous updates available in one easily accessible location?
Thank...

Legitimate question, Jim, and one I am asking myself, as well. I suppose a part of me just likes new toys and gadgets. W8 being just that.
From a more practical standpoint, my laptop is running...

Running Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit on a Dell XPS15. I'm considering a move to 8 and I see that MS has that $40 offer available to upgrade.
My preference when installing a new OS is to do so on a...

Thank you.

One of my laptops is an HP, model dm1-4010us. It's an 11" model with no optical drive. Currently running Windows 7 Home Premium. If I make the upgrade to 8 Pro, I would first want to completely...

Train, I installed the driver for the printer on each laptop. Easy solution as all laptops can now print independently. Put this one in the done column.:)

Train, it's a wireless connection. I'll take a look at the manual later on when I have a few minutes. Probably should have done so in the first place. :o
I'll let you know how it goes.

The printer in question is an HP 3050A. The three laptops, (1 HP, 2 Dells), are all running Windows 7 64 bit.
When the primary laptop is off or sleeping the other two laptops are unable to print...

OK, Train. Point taken. :p Let me explain what I want to do and perhaps the bevy of beautiful minds that hangs out here can help.
First, as noted above, I'm using Windows Live Mail. Why? Because...

If you don't mind me asking, what's your issue with Windows Live Mail?

I need a reliable and easy to use app to backup Windows Live Mail: multiple accounts, including Gmail, Comcast, and domain based emails, as well as settings and my contacts. Any recommendations? ...

I've noticed my laptop has been running slow and crappy lately. Yesterday, and again just now, it crashed and I got the good 'ol BSOD. Can someone decipher this report and maybe tell me what the...
