More cpu cores did not help an iPhone because it could not multitask. Period. Multiple cores help browsers in android because it can multitask.

It might be a hardware issue. Have you opened the case and cleaned out any dust that might be causing a cooling fan to stall out occasionally?

IE, especially IE6, has had problems with standards compatibility. Especially HTML 4 and CSS3 (cascading style sheets). That was mostly because those standards did no exist when IE6 came out. Since many big corporations kept using IE6 because it worked and because it was expensive to update...

I agree. Especially in Manhattan. Tall buildings. Often only get 3G.

A few years ago there were a lot of capacitor failures in Samsung and other monitors and TVs. The problem was capacitors that they bought from Chinese suppliers that would fail after 1 - 3 years. This is a well known problem. You can get a repair kit for your montior here...

I agree. Teamviewer.

I have that release of Chrome? How do I check if Flash is working? I recently started having problems with www.ancestry.com. They say that they recommend IE but Chrome had always worked for me. Ancestry says that they need the latest version of Flash. Ancestry started having problems for me...

The PC is an older system board and I don't think it supports drives larger than 2 TB. Does WD have a tool that will let an older bios recognize the bigger driive? More specifically, it is an Asus K8v Deluxe motherboard that only supports SATA drives. Not SATA 2 or SATA 3. Also, it is now...

The "server" is really an older desktop that is being used as a web server and a backup drive. I want more disk space. My other PCs back up to this drive every night. Performance is not really that important. Reliability and noise level is important. I will not be using RAID. All I...

I will be 70 in October.

What, exactly is screwed up on those websites? Also, which ccCleaner tools did you run? Did you do a registry clean? Did you remove plugins like Acrobat? Did you do anything else beside ccCleaner runs?

Do you stop driving your hummer after you have hit your quota of 1000 gal / year? The right way to look at it is to ask how much gasoline tax you pay when you drive your hummer your usual 12,000 miles per year. Probably a lot more in tax than the Prius owner who drives 12,000 miles per year.

never mind my reply - I misread your post and thought you had a problem with IE. Not explorer. If it is an explorer problem, are you running out of space on your hard drive? Have you ever defragmented the hard drive?

Why Bumpity? The Adobe TV Link shows you exactly how to do it in Photoshop CS5. Which version of Photoshop are you using? If you are using Elements 9 or 10 you need a different recipe. Elements does not have the Masking Panel shown in the video.

I am using an i5-2500K running at 4.4 GHz with 16 GB ram on Win7 x64. The Win8 setup program tells me that my system does not meet minimum requirements. I am downloading the iso directly now and planning to install it in a virtual machine. This message does not inspire confidence in the...
