By typing "cam", I run the Windows 10 system software for the camera . I have used it many times and so I know it works. But now for some reason when it comes up, there is no apparent record button. Is this something others have experienced? How do I troubleshoot and fix this?
My computer had been running sluggishly and I managed to get it back up and running at, so far, good speed.
The fixes I have done include successfully killing malitious Chrome browser extensions and tracking down four trojan viruses.
One of the things that concerned me was the idea that maybe I...

We have success. I have it working. The memory I got works.
It is actually a shock.
There were so many difficulties that I expected more difficulties,
But the BIOS recognized the memory.

This shot is a wierd angle. It is looking down at the memory cards. I had a shop do the installation. The thing is, they are spaced with an empty slot between them. I thought that one had to have then stacked side-by-side but I guess I was wrong. Now I have more questions. If I don't want...

The good news is that, now that I know I have two slots open on my motherboard, I can double my memory.

I have decided that the first thing I am going to try is back up everything on an external drive and then completely reinstall Windows 10. I have the ("OEM"?) sticker but the actual product CD has been lost in the move and I can not find it. Does anyone know how I can reinstall the OS with just...
My laptop computer has slowed down suddenly a whole heck of a lot.
So, let's fix this together.
What is the process? Shall I post some specs? Which specs shall I post?
Every once in a while, my custom desktop computer insists that it must make updates. It is very demanding. It asks if it can do it right away, wait an hour or it sometimes offers me to schedule a time. I have managed to make some screen shots and the next time it goes through this process, I...
I have a new graphics card. It is a 2GB DDR3 GEFORCE GT710. I bought it because, according to the box, it has two DVI ports for two monitors. So I figured it would make a good replacement for my last video card since the main feature I most like is having dual screens for my desktop.
But one...
I have given up and decided to go buy a new graphics card. Even if there is a software solution or update conflict, the bad voodoo this has brought has lead me to throw in the towel and start over. I will be making a new discussion thread for I have run into problems with the new graphics...
It is a VGA with an adapter to something else. Does it matter? It once worked and it suddenly stopped.
I doubt a windows 7 display adapter would work. Is that what you did to get your system working?
I am trying to extend my desktop to a second monitor.
It was working and suddenly it stopped.
Yes, I know how it is supposed to work with the display settings, but I can not get the operating system to recognize the existence of two monitors. Let me first explain some details because my...

New Hard Drive Setup Issues
===========================
My hard drive crashed and so I got a replacement.
I set the BIOS settings to [AUTO] but I wonder if that was the smartest thing to do.
The size that it displayed seemed to be a little low. I am wondering if maybe I should have...
It seems one of the recovery CD's are missing. Sony does not sell them anymore. The nearest Sony store said that they would charge 100 dollars just to look at the computer. (Yep, I know, but the truth is stranger than fiction). What is a good way to buy a new XP?

Do New Keyboards Work With Older Computers?
