    [SOLVED] Office 2013 installation error (pre-release or beta version detected)

    Nvm I fixed the problem. Thanks for the help everyone! For those of you who have the same problem, download the Microsoft Fix It Tool for getting rid of all Office suites. You have to save the EXE installer first and then double click it on your desktop. Clicking "Run" directly won't work. Even...

    [SOLVED] Office 2013 installation error (pre-release or beta version detected)

    I actually have a Macbook and did a clean install of Windows 8 on it through Boot Camp, so it shouldn't have any preinstalled programs or bloatware (at least not that I know of). The Fix It Tool was supposed to remove any version of Office. I seriously don't have a single trace of Office on my...

    6630M graphics issue (gaming related)

    Yea right now it's either sharp graphics with a low FPS (Intel) or blurry cars with a high FPS (AMD). Oddly enough, when I run the game on the 6630M, it's only the cars that are blurry. The track itself as well as the scenery and track objects are all fine. Ahh, I should note that the AMD...

    How do I get a more stable WiFi connection?

    I dowloaded inSSIDer and I don't know what the hell I'm looking at (I'm not very tech savvy). Here's a screenshot of the 2.4GHz channels: And here's a screenshot of the 2.4GHz graph (there's nothing shown on the 5GHz tab): So there's a lot of people using Channel 6. Can I change my...

    How do I get a more stable WiFi connection?

    I use a laptop at home connected to the internet through WiFi, and it's approximately 45 feet away from the router (on the same floor). My ISP is Rogers and I'm using the DOCSIS 3 modem & router supplied by them. Here's my Speedtest result: And here's the problem I'm facing: I play an...

    How much dedicated video memory do I have?

    Sorry for asking such a noob question but I'm not very teksavvy at all. I have a 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics card. Is my dedicated video memory simply 1024MB or is it something else?

    Game isn't detecting dedicated graphics card

    Game isn't detecting dedicated graphics card

    I don't think the game being too old is the issue (it might be, idk) because there are a select few games that run on the Intel graphics too (most notably Minecraft). Do I disable the Intel graphics through the Device Manager by right clicking on the Intel Graphics and clicking "Disable"? I'm...

    Hey guys! I play a game called NR2003 on my laptop that has a switchable graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6630M) and the game is running on the integrated graphics instead of the dedicated graphics. I really want to run on the dedicated graphics in order to increase the FPS. I have the game...
