    Embarrassed to ask, but

    I've had an MSI laptop G73 for about a year. A few weeks ago, the hinge broke off, and I had to have the whole back part holding the screen replaced (not the screen itself). It was much more expensive than one would have thought. I then did some research on the issue, and found it was a...

    Prevent icons from moving on desktop

    There's a program called fences: https://www.stardock.com/products/fences/ It used to be free, and maybe there's still a free version somewhere, but when I used it, it was a great program.

    Portable Monitor

    Thanks for the response. However, I read that the AOC monitors tend to break early. I actually tried using my ipad as a second monitor with Duet Display, but it screwed up all the AMD drivers and borked the PC. I had to uninstall and the re-install.

    Portable Monitor

    I've been using two monitors at work, and now I'm hooked. I'm looking for a monitor that I could use at home as a second monitor to use with both my desktop at home and my laptop, depending which room I want to work in. I am in a small NY apartment, so I don't have a lot of space, so I figure...

    Consumer Reports Ranks iPhone X below iPhone 8

    Thought I'd weigh in on this because I agonized for awhile as to what phone to buy. Basically, I got used to the Apple way of doing things. I bought a cheap Samsung to figure out if I liked Android and I just didn't. Maybe I didn't give it enough time, but after years of being with Apple...

    Radeon Driver Update Options

    Hi. I currently have 17.1.1 installed. The AMD Software Radeon program says that there are new updates available. It then lists 16.12.2 as the new recommended choice, with 17.2.1 being the new optional choice. Why would the older driver be the recommended driver? My card is the AMD Radeon R9...

    Help adding new SSD with Win10 for dual boot

    Actually, I decided to just stick with Win 7; there was no reason for dual boot (except I was worried about erasing the old drive) and as I think about it, I really see no reason to move to Win 10 yet. So the new plan is to buy a larger SSD, clone the current one to the new one so I don't have...

    Help adding new SSD with Win10 for dual boot

    Hi. I have a Maingear system that's three years old. The SSD is running Win7 and has no room left. The Hard Drive is 70% full. I am not "tech savvy". My thought is to add a brand new SSD and then do a clean install of Win10 onto that SSD using a USB drive (via free upgrade) so that I can...

    Postponing installation after downloading Windows 10

    Thanks. I'm at work now, but suppose I go home and it's already been downloaded. Is there a way to stop it from installing?

    Postponing installation after downloading Windows 10

    I made a "reservation" for Windows 10, and I assume it will download in a few days. However, I don't want to install it until kinks get worked out, etc. Will it automatically install via Windows Update or just download? Or if it's automatic, do you suggest I cancel the reservation? Thanks...

    Windows 10 noob question...

    I have docs, music, games etc and my "D" hard drive, with the OS and programs on the SSD "C" drive. if I do a clean install, it shouldn't affect antying on the D drive, right? All I would need to do is re-install the programs that are on C? I know it's a basic question, but the title of the...
