Lately, on boot up my PC starts up then shuts down. On second try, a DOS screen recommends I "Launch start-up Repair" sequence. Last time I toggled "OK" to the program's finding a Restore Point and Win 7 launched apparently normally. This morning the screen informed me it could not repair the...

For some reason, my Yahoo Mail notifier keeps appearing showing the number "9". Sometimes there are some new emails, sometimes there are none. But the main thing is, there doesn't seem to be any logical connection to how many new emails are in my mailbox. When I delete all new emails, the...

I would like to remove Skype from the start up programs, since I only use it occasionally. For some reason, when I uncheck the box that says "Have Skype start up with Windows," it has no effect. I know there is a command you can put into the Windows "Search program" line that brings up the...

I recently upgraded to Windows 7, Small Business Edition. In my daily Spam Report, I'm seeing several emails that the Outlook spam filter has identified as spam, but they're not. Their headers only are shown, and in text only with no content. When I go to my "Junk eMail" folder, there's...

I recently upgraded to Windows 7. When it boots up, I would like to find a way for it to skip the stage where Windows Boot Manager makes you manually select that it open in 7 or Vista. I'd like it to just automatically open in 7. I suppose I would like to be able to open in Vista in case a...

I recently bought a new PC running Vista. I installed MS/Office from a CD I used on my previous PC, which ran on XP/home. Now, whenever I launch Word (and I presume Excel, etc.), I get the nag screen that says "This is not a genuine version of Word". I've Googled for fixes, but they seem to...

Recently my PC has developed some problems. I'm running Windows XP and use Foxfire 3.0 as my browser. I also use Vipre as my anti-virus program. A few weeks ago, I began to notice my performance when loading programs, and even features like mail in Foxfire, was slowing down considerably. It...

Recently, I find myself getting an error message saying: "Can't find Flash Player". A techie I know took my browser to a site that uses Flash Player and it worked fine. But he didn't resolve the problem of this error message continuing to pop up. I've deleted the program and reinstalled the...

Today, when the Microsoft automatic update program informed me there were software updates I needed, I clicked on it to proceed and download them. Then, when they had already downloaded the "update", they informed me something to the effect that "it was a special program designed to see if all...

A friend has a curious problem. Whenever I send an email to his Yahoo.com address, I get back an apparently automatic response the content of which consists of the letter "i". Last night we discovered that it happens to everyone who sends email to that account. He is aware of it but has no...

For some reason lately, I find that Real Player no longer works on my PC. For instance, when I click on a sound track in the Music section of Amazon.com, I get an error message to the effect "cannot read this file." No problem, I'll just Google Real Player, download the latest version, and...

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I couldn't find an exact match. I'm trying to find the best video editing software for my needs. I'd like to be able to convert .avi and maybe other common formats into DVD format that can be played back on TV. I'm mainly going to use...

I'm trying to learn how to burn music onto CDs. Despite the fact that I've put in a new CD-R disk rated for music, my CD burning program keeps telling me there is no CD in the drive. I'm wondering if the CD drive in my PC lacks burn capability and is read-only. Is there some way I can check...
