I'm working from a relatively clean Windows 8.1 installation. I have installed foobar2000, and activated the shell extension feature and made all music files default for foobar2000 to open. If I have a music album sitting on my desktop (C: is a SSD by the way), and I right click I am indeed...

Are you able to expand on this and help guide me as to how this is done? Cheers.

I had a look for a proper place to post each question but couldn't really see a better place than 'general' so I'll post both questions here if that's ok. Question 1: One Drive I have a main desktop pc that is signed into one drive with my gmail account. I have 2 other MS tablets that also use...

My onedrive seems to be stuck somehow with syncing. It all happened when I used Acronis to roll back to a backup that was about 1.5 months old. I found it curious that Acronis failed to actually put everything back the way it exactly was! For one thing my Onedrive was back on the C: (when infact...

So I have an annoying little issue. I'm running win 8 pro (not 8.1 yet) and sumtimes when I boot up the Win 8 environment volume slider isn't there (it's like it failed to load or the logitech controllers overtook it). I'm running a desktop non touch screen pc. My mouse is a logitech G500 and I...

MY wife's accessing emails through mediaportal webpage. There is a pull down menu, it simply allows you to show coverage at various time increments, such as last 5mins, last 2 days etc. Once you select the option (highlighted) and click it or hit enter it should refresh the entire webpage...

I'll try to answer that. At the time I was looking into the Surface 2 I was also looking into the Surface Pro. I was hearing a similar thing from various reviewers namely that with all this extra power of a full win 8, alot of it was going to waste in tablet form running full programs, it was...

You're welcome.

Yeh I have My Nexus 7 doing said task at the moment, but what I'm trying to do is get the Surface 2 to replace all the functionality of the Nexus 7 so I might be happy to flog it. Currently the S2 with it's lack of being a decent enough music remote control is what's stunting me. This is kinda...

Question: I'm looking for a Metro app that would allow me to remote control a music software program residing on the Win 8 desktop machine. I'm not looking for a music app that will stream music residing on the PC, just a remote control (via wifi home network), preferably for foobar2000 as...

I shall start by saying this purchase was not an impulse buy. Few of my gadgetry purchases are particularly impulsive, usually they are researched, reviewed and pondered upon. So it’s fair to say I jumped in with the Surface 2 with a fair idea knowing what to expect. But why the...

Thank you for that, I will try those steps, see how i go. My ISP has unlimited Upload (just extremely sucky speeds here in oz), and my downloads is 500gb/month, should be fine but as u say one at a time sounds best. Guys thank you for yer help :) Bruce

Ok, so is there any last words in how best to do this 'migration'? I'm worried copying my files that exist in D:\Users\Bruce to Skydrive folders will involve them FIRST going to the cloud (taking a LONG TIME, we are after all talking about over 200gb of data in total), and then 'making available...

I think this is where some of my confusion came in, because when I tested the Skydrive folders I'm pretty sure I saw my C: losing space (therefore leading me to think that it is indeed a location on the C: that gets filled up like any other, but also acts as a place where Skydrive will Sync). I...

Cheers, that helps a little (and I kinda knew some of that stuff) but I don't think its quite the permanent way forward for me. Perhaps if i explain in a little more detail. so.. C: is 128gb SSD with Win 8 OS and pretty much just programs (40gb free) D: is 1tb 'My Documents' (Music, Pics, Docs...

Can anyone help me confirm my thoughts on Skydrive and my proposal to use it effectively (as I have inherited 300gb Skydrive not currently being used). It appears to me to be somewhat different to dropbox etc (which I also have limited experience using). Basically my intention is to replace my...

No digital read out, but i will unplug the ups from mains and try ceiling fan, see what happens. I also think there is a clicking noise heard on the tv when i switch the same ceiling fan on/off so sumthings going on there. It is weird. I haven't had as much issue since no longer using the usb...

I do happen to have a UPS, power supply got tested recently when i had mb issues and came back fine..

It's winter here but this morning i put the ceiling fans on to try push sum heat from the ceiling down to the floor again. Guess what? The act of turning the ceiling fan on disconnected the usb device from pc, and i was able to replicate this again and again lol. Could it be that this 1950's...

That motherboard provides 2 usb 3.0, both situated on the rear. Yesterday I pulled out the USB cable that was in the Hub and that was continually 'on'. This was the usb cable running to the DAC, instead i plugged it directly into a front usb2.0 port that was free. Since doing that I have had no...
