Hi. I've suddenly had 3 of these BSODs in 2 days out of the blue. They each gave me advice (in Italian) on how to deal with it, and then quoted...
Hi, MrBill. Yes, both worked. The solution suggested by Microsoft email support worked. It involved eliminating every trace of all versions...
Hi, Doc, and thanks. I'll try that and report back. UPDATE: I got a reply from the support desk, but they evidently hadn't read my query...
OK, since there were no other suggestions immediately, while waiting I went ahead and followed Neil's suggestion in post #2. I disinstalled both...
Hi Neil - thanks for advice. Both are listed in the group ".NET Framework 4 Extended ", but only 2656351 is listed in the group ".NET Framework...
How about Display > Sort by > file type? that would put all the *.jpg together and all the *.jpeg together, probably one group right after the other.
I recently installed a program (iExpress, I think, or maybe iTunes - doesn't matter) which required .NET Framework 4, which I didn't have on board...
Hi Neil. Sure, I'm on Fb, Skype and Twitter. I've no doubt it's quite easy to find me - I've never tried particularly hard to hide my identity. I...
I guess that's right. In my little town (38K residents) there can only be about twenty people in the phone book with an obviously non-Italian...
Hi Mr Bill - thanks for that. Yes, I guess the phone book is pretty obvious. :o Maybe I didn't think about that enough earlier - like where do...
I've had several - maybe 6/7 - calls from these totally obvious scammers over the past few months, and have enjoyed leaving the phone off the hook...
OK - it was scary, as I often wasn't sure what I was being asked or what I should reply, and I had to call the ISP helpdesk for one or two...
Hi Tony. Thanks for that! I've downloaded everything you suggested and unzipped it and got all my ducks in a row ready to upgrade. I'll report...
I should also confess to some rare stupidity: I don't understand anything about networks or how they work, I just follow the setup wizards, which...
Many thanks for suggestions, masterroaming. But these were in fact among the various suggestions I came across while googling, and they don't...
Have a tiny home network - one PC, one laptop, one iPad - running on a Netgear DG834G v.3 modem/wireless router. Got a new smartphone for my...
Thanks, Wildfire. I've made a note of that option, too. Happy Hogmanay if we don't speak sooner.
Great. Thanks, Arie!
Hi. I read Arie's helpful article on how to "upgrade" from XP to Windows 8. I read at one point "Launch Windows Explorer by pressing the...
I have a question here. If we old-timers with XP just hang in there, what will happen on "update Tuesdays" after the clock has run down? Will...
