Can someone please give me some suggestions as to how to eliminate 'Buzzdoc ads'?! This is driving me nuts. I don't know where it came from, but a few days ago it showed up in my Firefox browser, and now every single time I do a Google search i've got this damn Buzzdoc ads popping up at the...

A couple days ago, somehow, I turned on 'scanning your device' and now I get a black screen every time I plug my phone into the USB port to charge it. I'm trying to figure out how to disable this 'feature'. It's really annoying because the connection is a bit worn, and it keeps connecting and...

I keep getting this message. It's very annoying, and it REALLY slows down my machine. Sometime s it won't respond, iterally, for like 10 minutes. How can I solve this problem permanently? Thanks everyone!

So, I woke up this morning and realized the the wifi adapter on my ThinkPad 430 is disabled. It's been working perfectly fine for a couple years, but as of this AM it didn't work. My smart phone can connect to the wifi access point just fine. Does anyone have any idea what I can check to get...

Is there a setting or control that forces Excel to paste-special Bitmap by default? It seems like the default is Enhanced Metafile. If I can't control it in Excel, can I control this behavior in Windows? Thanks!!

Hello experts. Every time I reboot my Windows 8 machine, I get the following message. It's a little bit crazy, because I don't have a folder called 'Conduit' on that path. Any thoughts anyone??? Thanks!!!

What does this error message mean? I get this every time I reboot my machine. I have no file in that directory, so I'm not sure what Windows is looking for. I'm not even sure where this came from. How can I get rid of it permanently? Thanks everyone!!

Today I upgraded to Windows 8.1 (I think that's the version). I was pretty much forced to do the update. Now, my start button is completely gone and replaced with something that takes me to the Windows 8 screen, which I absolutely hate, because I can't control anything on it. I have installed...

This really isn't a Windows 8 thing, per se. However, I setup a hotspot using my laptop and Windows 8, and I don’t know where else to post, so I'm seeking help here. I'm trying to login my Samsung TV to the Internet, either straight to the WiFi connection, or through my laptop, which I used to...

I'd like to totally disable my Windows 8 password. I'm surprised there is even a password on the account because I thought it was already disabled. Somehow, though, there appears to be another password on the account. For instance, when I restart Windows 8 I am prompted for a password. This...

I'm not going to go off on a long tirade about how much I hate Windows 8. I just need to be able to use my regular/old account. So, anyway, this past weekend I setup a couple account to use SQL Server to run SSIS projects. I created a new User profile. Great. It works. Great. Now, I'm...

So, I followed the instructions here. Can I Remove User Accounts in Windows 8? - Windows 8 - Tutorials This is pretty insane because all I had to do was enter an email address; no name, no password, nothing. Now, all I have is an email address, and of course no name and no password. So...

When I put Windows 8 in sleep mode (yes sleep mode...I'm not shutting it off), and I turn it on, it sometimes takes up to 5 minutes to respond to any input. I'm wondering what I can check to make sure the minimal apps/programs are running, and there are no unnecessary memory hogs churning in...

Is there something called 'Use User Account Control (UAC)' on Windows 8? I am having a hell of a time installing Adobe Acrobat (it used to work perfectly fine until 3 days ago). Nothing works whatsoever. The only hope I have now is that I saw one tip describing how to change a seting on the...

How can I view a PDF file and an Excel file on the screen at the same same time? Every time I open a PDF file, everything shuts down, excel for the PDF. Whenever I click off the PFD, I see everything else, but the PDF is gone. I'm trying to get some info from the PDF to Excel, but it's really...

I am trying to figure out how to change my picture on my Windows 8 startup screen. I looked at a few tutorials on how to do it; so far nothing has worked out for me. Thanks everyone!!!

I'm not going to rant about how much I hate Windows 8. I've wasted countless hours already; no sense in wasting any more time on this nonsense. How does one go about disabling the COMPLETELY RETARDED Windows 8 Lock Screen?????????????? This simply does not work: How to Eliminate the...
