Saved passwords


Posted Monday July 23 2012, 7:48 pm

Hey! Whenever I type in a password to log into website accounts, my browser asks me if it should save the password. I forget certain passwords a lot so I wonder can I see the saved passwords? If yes, where? Also, what's the point of saving passwords, and can others see them and log into my accounts?

How can I completely wipe out my computer and restore the system?


Posted Saturday July 21 2012, 9:23 pm



I have windows vista. Can I get back everything the way it was like when I bought it?

I don't have a restore CD. The one we used to have you can only use it twice and its done, so we don't have a restore CD anymore. I already tried to download anti-virus stuff in safe mode. My computer won't download.



I think a virus has removed a lot of things on my computer and I can't access programs or download vitus protection. I have given up. I feel like backing up my HD and starting over would be best. How can I do this? What do I need?

Can anyone offer step by step instructions so that it is as if I have a new computer after wards?

Laptop sound issues


Posted Friday July 20 2012, 12:45 pm

Hello,

Recently I had my laptop repaired. When I got it back I had to install some new dell drivers, including audio ones.

Recently, I've had a few problems with sound:
1. When I listen to music with headphones, it not as loud as it used to be. I've checked the sound levels, and done all the tests. My headphones work fine on other devices

2. If I watch a youtube video, suddenly the sound will stop working. If I refresh the video (or even unplug the headphones and re-plug them in, if I'm using headphones) the sound will work again.


Is there any way to fix this?

I use Vista, and it's a dell inspiron if it helps.

Thanks in advance folks! :)

"Personalize" function not working on my computer, among other things.


Posted Sunday July 15 2012, 11:51 pm

I have noticed that some functions on my computer stopped working recently. For example, I click on Personalize to edit my desktop. Normally, the function would open the window but nothing happens. What is wrong? I do not have virus protection software, I handle viruses another way. However, I have never came across this problem. I have hid my desktop icons with the fences program and when I double clicked for my icons to reappear, I noticed there was an icon that wasn't there before. It was Norton Virus Protection icon. I have not installed Norton so I am guessing it could be that trojan that poses as Norton. I have restored my system right after I discovered that but it seems there are still some problems. Help please.

best laptop


Posted Monday July 9 2012, 12:31 pm

I'm going to be starting college this fall and have been comparing and pricing out laptops. I would love to get a macbook, but with everything that goes into it i can't afford it. Which laptops/laptop brand are most reliable?
I was looking at the HP intel core processor pavillion laptop, would this be a good choice?
I'm looking for something to of course have all the basics, i am undecided about my field of study and there is a possibility i may go into design. Something that would display photos clearly and be able to handle photo editing software. Also i would like to edit videos on here, as i edit both film ans photos. I am also checking into the ventilation of the system to make sure it won't overheat easily.

I can't download anything or acess programs on my computer?


Posted Saturday July 7 2012, 10:41 am



Every time I click on something on my computer a thing pops up saying:"Please choose the program you want to open with this file". It has adobe reader, internet explorer, quicktime & itunes, when I click on any of them, something pops up saying "view your downloads" , we can't download anything.

Commercial Product


Posted Thursday July 5 2012, 3:51 pm

There is a product that is supposed to help people that are starting a small business stay organized. In the commercial, there are like business owners and there are people huddled around them asking them things like, "You keep your receipts in a shoe box?" and then they talk about the machine. It will scan your receipts, help you keep track of inventory, losses, profits, etc. Does anyone know the name of it? I don't remember if it was a machine with software or just software but I'm pretty sure it was a small machine with software.
