I've got 8.1 on a Dell Inspirion 5738 laptop, I have a generic usb mouse attached. My problem is the mouse pointer slowly starts speeding up until it gets so fast I have no accuracy. I mean I move my pinky and the cursor moves from one side of the 17" screen to the other. I go in Control...

somehow I managed to accidently delete a folder of important pictures. So I go to trash can, and highlight and click restore. It goes to my OneDrive file. I click Home, and Move To, My Pictures. I go to My Pictures, and open the folder, and try to share the picture, then I try to edit the...

Actually I do, I just have to remember exactly when it started.

my brain just went on vacation Ok, guys, I don't know what happened to me, my brain just went on vacation while posting that. :think: All the phones were Android, it's a Dell 5730 Inspirion laptop, running 8.1. It's a Dell 1705 wireless adapter. When usb tethering it's a NDIS based adapter. Up...

I read a bunch of previous threads on this, but none really fit my problem. A long story here, but for the time being I am having to use my mobile data connection for internet access. When I try to connect to the USB tethering, I have to go in to the adapter settings, and enable, and disable...

For some reason, I have several HDD or partitions showing up in "This PC", that no longer exist. They were all usb devices of one kind or another, despite the fact that the usb is no longer connected the drive still shows up in This PC. Does anyone know how I might get these drives to...

I have been working on several different projects lately, as a result I have partitioned, and re-partitioned a USB external HDD (250G), I have a total of 5 active partitions, not including the system partitions. However I have a total of 18 partitions showing, although everything other than the...

Long story short, I recently started working from home, due to some health problems. My problem is that I live about 20 miles out of town in the middle of nowhere, we have to pipe in the sunlight. After 15 years of living here we finally got a landline type internet connection instead of either...

The system restore didn't help any, I went ahead and did a restore using the restore point I made before I did anything else the day I got the pc, even though I noticed the problem within a couple of hours of turning it on the first time. I kept telling myself that I was just overlooking the way...

Ztucker, yes I did do that, and it did help in that the folder maintains the sort & group settings instead of me having to redo the settings every time I reboot. But when I click on an upload button on a website the explorer window that opens still has no arrangement of items except random. I...

@Berton, I agree that's all they are is shortcuts, but they are handy @Majestic Jaguar, Yes, when I click on the library icon it says "(Documents/whatever) is empty, no folders have been added include a folder @Brink, I have tried the folders located at "C:\\users\username\(folder), and those...

All of my libraries are empty, and I have tried about 3 different ways to include a folder and every time I either get the error "The folder can't be included in library", or the include button is grayed out. Right-click on folder and then click include in______ Library, right-click library, and...

No, luckily I backup on a regular basis, actually what I usually do, is copy my files I need/want to keep to an external hdd, then once a week, I will plug it up, and sync one way pc to hdd, then we have an old desktop, hooked to the tv for watching netflix, or blu-ray and other media, it has...

I haven't either, that's the whole point of my question, it does not make sense, there is no way it should have happened. I can't figure it out. Like I said, one day it showed one thing, the next it showed the other, and I didn't do anything to cause it to change. The old pc was an Acer 5732...

Brink, thank you for the information, but before I could get back here to get your reply I started getting locked out of things because the registered owner, password and manufacturer information did not match what showed on the file. I couldn't get in to change information, without a password...

This may not be the correct section, if not feel free to move it. I was checking on some stuff in the PC Settings section, and noticed that somehow the computer name, and even the manufacturer is wrong. I have a two week old Dell named Robby, the information showing is for my old pc, an Acer...

OK, Rich, when you are in windows explorer, changing sort and filter is easy, however when I am online and I click upload to my photobucket site, the explorer window opens as it has the last four or five OS's, however in Windows 7, when that window opened my pictures were still sorted the same...

I am not always good at describing things so please bear with me and try to understand what I'm trying to ask, because I will probably make it sound different than what I mean. I know when just opening Windows Explorer how to sort & group files and folders, that part is easy. My question...
