 | I'm in my 50's and my IT credentials have lapsed. Pre-cancer I was a consultant in software licensing, but my background is more dominantly hardware and developing. I am self-taught in a couple of old irrelevant-to-today languages, and hold a certification for VB6. Hardware I'm certified A+ and some Toshiba …  |

 | How about ultra-seasoned, decades experienced Police Chiefs depending on the non-medical criminal investigative abilities of a doctor or Novel writer? You can tell when they are running out of storylines when one cop's girlfriend is mysteriously shot dead leading to an emotional traipse through the investigation to find the killer, …  |

| | In The Heat of The Night - Sidney Poitier is a brilliant actor, and it's a great story. I'm really big on Sci-Fi - just for the escapism. I-Robot, Men In Black, Logan's Run. . . I could makequite in list of favourites, but it must have a good story. … |

| | Just a small note about laptops. Using them an your lap is often quite bad for laptops, as well as most fabric or similar soft type surfaces that could obstruct ventilation. Also, many laptops are not best suited to 'heavy' gaming because of the simple cooling system they have. As …  |
| | Con you put a link in your next post that tells us more about your Tek 6633 All-In-One PC, please? Which operating system? Do you make regular back-ups, would it be a problem to lose the data on the hard disk if it was absolutely necessary?  |
 | For a number of years I lived in Australia. The nearest neighbour was twenty or thirty miles away. We tackled problems with Hornets, various poisonous spiders, and venomous snakes, etc. All of that came with the territory. A great many people share their environment with Lions, Tigers, or Bears. As … |
 | Is your computer definitely a HP 7600 or could it be a D7600, even a DC7600? This would matter significantly when it comes to drivers. Run a Windows Update, or check if Windows is waiting for you to give the go-ahead to install updates. Sometimes Windows fixes this issue "itself". … |
| | When you fitted the motherboard into the new case, did you use those little paper washers with the motherboard screws? When you use the computer, is the computer's case closed fully? All of the cables to your TV are seated properly? Either or both these scenarios (no paper washers, opened … |
| | They are great questions! I could give you a brief answer file system by file system here, but you would gain only as much as I want to write. Telling you how to find the answers to your questions would lead you to the richest answers, answers that would best … |
 | The arrangement of the partitions is okay. The 'Recovery' partition is for reinstalling Windows, restoring it back to Manufacturer defaults. Don't let anything happen to that partition, and don't use it to restore Windows until you are happy this problem is fixed and you have your files. It's sometimes best …  |

| | UK TV service is now entirely digital having now switched off all remaining analogue services. As a marked advancement, it sadly also closes a chapter on the BBC's Ceefax service, established C. 1974. This service provided Text News, Weather reports + map, sport results, recipes, quizzes, and more. On a … |
 | To the great majority of end-users, or home-users, there really is not a lot of differences between them, or at least justifiable differences. For a lot of people out there it was also free, as a result of piracy. The arrival of XP also caused, or coincided, with a PC … |
| | It may also be a software issue. Do you know how to find your way around Control Panel? It may be worth looking at your regional settings and keyboard settings. Which operating system are you using? |
| | We don't know what make or model your Computer is, but there may be something available from the manufacturer, or available for a like model laptop. Alternatively, you could purchase a standard backlit keyboard that is typically used with desktop computers. You would just plug it into a spare USB … |

| | Clean the screen now and again, don't spill coffee on it, use it to visit Daniweb and keep us guessing with your intriguing posts. :-) |
 | Popeye has his spinach & Olive Oil, Mike_2000 has his C++ & Daniweb Mrs BigPaw wants BigPaw to paint the pond's bridge at the weekend, and he's decided that it will need about five coats of paint. Which coat will he put on the first?  |
| | The security updates didn't make that much of a difference to the general user really. The great thing about XP was that after its teething problems, which was commonly due to badly written drivers on the part of Vendors, it became an operating system that people learned how to fix …  |
| | Do each of your children have their own accounts on the computer? (individual login and password, etc) Depending on the type of software you are using, you may find that you are just monitoring your own account. May I suggest, please, that you start a new thread (post) and summarise … |

| | What make and model Tablet is it, please?  |
 | Kinda difficult to answer that in the UK here. I asked a Polish friend who had recently moved here what the weather was typically like in Poland. He said, "We get four seasons..... a year..." It's very changeable.  |
| | What is the make & model of the Netbook? Have you made any changes to it recently, hardware or software? What happens if you start it with no devices attached to it? No optical drive, no mouse, no printer, etc, only the power cable. If that makes no difference can …  |
