As an update .. I am now running Firefox 32 bit again, exactly for the reason above. I think just better support there. I really never noticed ANY difference between the 32 bit and 64 bit browsers. So .. 32 bit Firefox it will be until they release the 64 bit version.

Just run Waterfox .. 64 bit and identical to Firefox. You can do it right now. I did and I was pleasantly surprised.

Guess it is not Windows 9 at all. Microsoft's next OS is Windows 10

My worst drives have always been Western Digital. I try to stay away from them now.

I got 53 seconds. Windows 8.1 on an SSD drive.

Well yes .. I do other things too. But that is a major part of what I do on my pc. I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. I have played with my sisters iPad .. didn't really like it that much. :shock:

Cause I use a pc .. and could never do what I do on a tablet. I do software development .. and good luck on a tablet. I would throw it through the window and go back to my pc. There are just some things that they suck at .. and honestly if someone wanted to give me a tablet for free .. I would...

I had the same problem but I cannot remember how I fixed it. It definitely was kinda annoying to me too. It was something about making the shortcut from the actual exe and pinning that, rather than pinning a shortcut from the desktop.

I did all of that .. the changing of the bios and no difference. My bios is much much newer than that displayed. But the concept was the same. But did not make a difference.

The machine came with Windows 8 .. upgraded to 8.1. There are no updated drivers and the bios is up to date. I tried the write caching .. no difference. I will just live with it, as honestly it really is a minor but still a bit annoying issue.

Here is the deal .. Windows 8.1 and I have an Asus computer that is less than 2 months old. But the USB performance is pretty poor .. I thought it was my USB stick, so bought a new one USB 3.0. But it was worse in my test below. I did a test. Copied a 190 MB file to each USB Stick from my pc...

It is installed on my system .. and no problems at all.

Hate the charms bar .. it never works well on my computer at all and I never use it now. I hope they just make it an option. I hope Windows 9 does not suck.

I hate Toshiba's .. for this exact issue. They can be a real handsome frog to get into the bios. Why do they not display the key sequence when you start it .. like Lenovo for example. Like .. idiots, and why I will never buy a Toshiba.

But why does my internet slow down by itself .. causing me to have to reinstall that device ? I understand that it re-installs it .. that is fine, but why do I need to do it in the first place. :confused:
