When I click show desktop to return to my desktop, or if I open a folder from my desktop, all of my desktop icons quickly blink as if refreshing. It only happens for the first time opening a folder-then it stops when I open other folders, until I switch to a program like Chrome and then go back...

The scroll bar in Windows 8 is for some reason pathetically low contrast and very hard to see. If you google "windows 8 scroll bar", you can see "hard to see" comes up as one of the top searches. It's a very light grey on a white background, terrible design. Anyway, I tried changing registry...

I just got a "certified new" laptop after dealing with a dud from Acer, I've had it for about 3 weeks now. It's an Acer Aspire with a GeForce GTX 850m. The past week or so, I started to notice something wasn't right, the computer overall seemed a bit laggy. I had an issue with the right click...

I've had this issue in Windows 7 as well. No matter how many restore points I create manually, they completely disappear within a few days. It seems Windows 8/8.1 only saves 2 restore points, or even only one automatic one. Why does it not save the other restore points? I've done some googling...

I have an acer laptop that recently had some problems, half the time I pressed the power button the light would flash and it would not turn on. I sent the laptop for repairs under warrantee, just got it back after two weeks. It seemed to be fixed but as soon as I put the computer to sleep, then...

The last few days or so my Acer laptop has been making a strange clicking sound (even when I have all sounds off) when I jump around buffering bar on Youtube videos or click on a youtube video as it begins. I reinstalled flash, firefox, chrome, to no avail. I updated my graphics driver and it...

Hi, I'd had my Acer laptop for less than a year and I can't say I've been satisfied with it at all. Anyway it's been running fine lately, until a random BSOD occurred, the error it gave was "Memory_Management". Now that I recall I was rendering a video in Sony Vegas and it stalled at 50%, but I...

By going to "view what operating system you are running", my computer says my edition is Windows 8.1. Not only do I never recall updating from 8 to 8.1 but following this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6042-adaptive-brightness-turn-off-windows-8-a.html my pc settings are...

I just had windows on, a few programs like sony vegas and a pdf. Took a shower, returned to find everything was "not responding". After a few minutes of trying to bring up the task manager or get it to budge, I had to resort to holding the power button to turn the damn thing off. Is thee any...

I have a brand new acer laptop. It's an acer aspire v5-573PG, specs are Intel Core i7 4500U (1.80GHz) 8GB Memory 1TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M So it is quite a good powerful laptop-or at least it should be. The last few days I have had...

On the same computer. Thanks to microsoft's not very nice "online syncing" they managed to trick me into putting my actual name for the directory in C:/users etc. I want to change this, but apparently the only way is to create a completely new account on my computer. How can I create a duplicate with...

Hi. I have a new acer inspire that has windows 8 on it. It has been driving my insane and making me very stressed just trying to fit windows 8 to work on a PC platform, I've considered returning it but I am in need of a computer for my studies and I don't know if I will get a full refund. I have...
