    How do I ensure I properly get text alerts on my Android phone?

    I had given up on Facebook. Someone managed to use its system against me be making multiple request to reset my password. So I eventually decided to live without it. But I begrudgingly found that Facebook can be a useful tool to make contact with people to discuss a variety of technologies...

    I went ahead and took the leap and bought memory. Will this work or should I return it? What do you think? There are lots of reasons why the memory might not work. One reason repeated is that it is the wrong type of memory. I wanted to ask the fourm before I even try. I appreciate any...

    Why would my desktop suddenly stop recognizing my second monitor and how do I fix it?

    well, faulty cable or not, for now it is working the way I told in my last post. As the saying goes, if it is not broke, don't fix it. I will revisit this thread if things go back to a single monitor again.

    Why would my desktop suddenly stop recognizing my second monitor and how do I fix it?

    Nenu, this post got me thinking that this might be an OS update glitch. So, I gave something a try and it has worked (so far). But I want to keep this thread of discussion open here just in case this is only temporary. Now, let me explain what I did and why. I started to suspect this was a...

    Why would my desktop suddenly stop recognizing my second monitor and how do I fix it?
