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...

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...

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...

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...

I have a USB 3.0 Powered Hub (from ac adapter), it was working fine for about a year, now its doing the old disconnecting/reconnecting thing, quite often. I have checked all the cables, they are fully inserted, hub is being powered properly. Tried different USB 3.0 port on rear of desktop pc...

So i noticed a customized icon I have on my quick launch bar (yes i put a quick launch bar on win 8 lol) was displaying as something other than what i had initially set it as (it was displaying as a different customised icon, not back to its default or anything). So i went to My Pictures>Icons...

I have a new Asrock H77-Pro4-M motherboard and i'm running win 8 (fresh install). I haven't added any specific drivers that i can find to enhance usb 3 from the mb website, i thought Win 8 would come with its own. Im only getting 28-30mb/sec transfer speeds from both ports and on two seperate...

I really need some advice that is directly related to the Kari method here. But to fully understand my problems it is perhaps best to give u background of what i have done to get to the mess i have now. 1) was running win xp, had a straight backup (no acronis .tib file or anything) of my...

No stranger to using IDM, but on Friday i upgraded my system to Win 8 Pro and although to begin with I was getting regular download speeds from the three premium accounts listed above, now they have slowed down drastically. Other links for downloading stuff from other sites (such as a rar or...
