Note in W8, it is not even called a defragger. When you manually start "Optimize Drives" in Windows 8.x, you will see a list of your drives. They...
Why would they? I think you are seeing evil where there is none. I guess we WILL have to agree to disagree with that! No, it wasn't. IT...
Well, XP needs to go away so that is good enough reason alone. 2008 was before Windows 7, which came out in Oct 2009. So hardware bought at...
This could just be a symptom of a small power fluctuation you had in your home. If using NAT (where the router assigns new IP addresses to...
And I have read others (whom I trust) confirm that this is true. Part of the problem is "Optimize Drives" (or "Storage Optimizer" - the new...
It is absolutely true that re-enabled cores can be unstable. That is why they were disabled!!! And should be left disabled, if stability (and data...

Surprisingly, I have never had any problems updating drivers via Windows Update with W8.x. I say surprisingly because I really expected problems...
I never do automatically. I check to see what it is first - not so much to see if I want it, but to see if I don't want it (like Silverlight, for...
It was not already installed? Like lj50, mine installed with the last batch of updates a couple days ago. IIRC, however, it was an optional...
Thanks Pete.
Not even. Much closer to SpywareDr's 10-15 minutes than your 10 hours. And also, much less user intervention.
I also uninstalled it on my systems about a year ago and have not missed Java either. But my grandson plays Minecraft and that requires Java....
They use compression techniques so the resulting image is smaller than the disk. But you would still be talking a lot of DVDs. If I had to use...
