Running Windows 7 and IE9. Today I suddenly can't log in to my Youtube account. I've done everything you can imagine - cleared cookies and cache, rebooted, reconfigured start-up, enabled compatibility view, etc. I've also made sure my Google account was connected to YT. I keep getting an error page …

A few weeks ago, I noticed that when I went to Yahoo Maps to look for directions, the site had me listed as a resident of Herndon, VA. I live in Sherman Oaks, CA. When I attempted to changed this default (that I did not apply), Yahoo told me that …

I have a Lacie Electron 22BlueIV monitor (CRT). Last night while I was watching a TV show on it, the screen went to black but the audio continued. I jiggled the mouse and pushed a few keys but the picture wouldn't come back. I shut the computer down and rebooted. …

For several months, my mouse and scroll wheel have taken on a life of its own. At random times when I'm scrolling up or down, my screen will jump to a previous page (or pages). Other times, the size of the text will change. When I left-click the mouse to …

This has been happening more and more often. Once I get to my Yahoo email inbox, I'll click on an email heading to read the message. The page will then search for several minutes while the word "Loading..." appears at the top. (This is not Windows XP's 'loading' message; it's …

I recently moved into a new house where the owner has a high-speed internet connection through Comcast. I installed a wireless-B adapter (made by Linksys) so I could tune in to his signal. After a few days, my computer reverted back to its old dial-up habits. It still takes a …

For quite some time, I have been unable to get streaming videos to play properly. This occurs with Youtube, Hulu, and related sites. I hear the audio fine, but what I see is basically a slide show of images. I've done speed tests on my computer (using speedtest.net) as well …

I have a Lexmark X5470. It works great, and I'm very happy with it. However, something very strange happens every now and then when the power is off. At any given time, the printer will start up on its own for about 30 seconds, making the sounds of the cartridge …

I have not been able to connect to Bearshare 4.6.0 for several days. I know this is not the latest version, but up until a few days ago, I've never had any trouble. When the page comes up, the blinking red light in the upper right corner never switches to …

I just finished putting together a video using Windows Movie Maker. It was saved to my hard drive as a WMV file and is 11.5 MB. It's basically a slide show with music underneath. When I play it back on my computer, it looks great. The transitions are smooth, and …

My old HP mx703 CRT monitor bit the dust yesterday, so I went out an bought a 19-inch Westinghouse LCD. I was all excited about upgrading to the flatscreen world. However, my excitement was premature. The picture and graphics on this monitor aren't nearly as claer as my old CRT. …

I have an HP mx703 monitor, approximately 5 years old. Recently, I've been having an on again/off again problem when turning on my computer (also 5 years old) whether from sleep mode or shut-down mode. Everything starts up, but the monitor will sometimes have no picture. It is getting power …

I have a Lexmark X5470. Whenever I try to print the address on an envelope, the printer always does so portrait-style, despite the fact that I have my printer set to landscape-style. The envelopes are being loaded correctly. I've even tried switching to portrait, and it still does the same …

I have the latest version of WMP, but a few weeks ago, it started failing to get pass the "writing to CD" step of burning. Once all the song titles are analyzed and pending, it will try to burn the first track only to freeze midway and then finalize the …

I have a Lexmark X5270 printer. For the past several weeks, whenever I try to print something, the paper either won't feed, or it will only feed about halfway. I've removed the paper and tried different thicknesses (amounts) of paper, but nothing seems to affect it. I've also tried getting …

Recently upped my memory from 256 to 760 MB. Surfing from page to page still takes longer than the old dial-up days. For example, from the time I signed onto my home page until I got to this thread was nearly ten minutes. I've checked my task manager, and it …

Latest version of WMP is very slow on my computer. Whenever I play an audio file, the audio is fine, but all the visuals and graphics freeze (audio continues to play). My mouse is useless until the page unfreezes. So it could freeze at 10 seconds and then jump to …
