Outside of the $250+ dollar Logitech G, is there anything new in the world of wireless mice that offer wireless charging? I'd even be open go another cradle charger like the old MX700, but obviously a wireless charging pad would be my preference.

I have a few 24" monitors, where one of them is in portrait mode. What I'm looking for is some wallpaper manager software that will allow me to cycle the portrait monitor with images from a specific folder, different than the other monitors. I've looked into the big name software out there like...

So I have 6 servers (Dell, Server 2012 R2) here in a test bed, where each has 6 network ports. Each server has a team consisting of two ports, where the 1st port goes to one Hirschmann Mach104 Gigabit switch, and the 2nd port goes to another. The switches can be thought of as an A/B setup for...

So, today, for the second time in the last few months, the android system has updated automatically, without my consent or knowledge. What happens is that I get a notification there is a new update, and it will constantly keep bugging me about it. As soon as I connect to WIFI it will begin...

So I know the creator's update is supposed to add some dynamic locking feature where the computer will automatically lock based on a various amount of things. That ain't this. I am running Version 1511 of Windows 10 (pre-anniversary update). Yesterday, I noticed my computer automatically start...

So, I use the network connections folder all of the time at work and today, just noticed something. I don't know if it's always been there in Windows 10 or just spontaneously appeared, but does anyone know what the blue bar between the file menu and the network connections is? It has the text...

They forced Windows 10 on all of our work laptops so I've been ironing out issues I have with it. I'm down to my last real problem and it is network related. The head of our IT department took a look and wasn't able to come up with a fix and suggested a different network adapter. So to make...

Does anyone know a way to make the jump list in Windows 10 behave like Windows 7? In 7, I could hover over excel in the start menu and the list would automatically appear. In 10 I have to click the stupid little arrow. I'm sick and tired of things I use making me click more to accomplish the...

Is there anyway to do this? I frequently travel out of the country and would like my browsers to always load the us websites by default. I'm currently in Brazil and I swear that no possible combination of words or related phrases in a google search has turned up anything even remotely useful on...

I'd like to get rid of my Logitech Z5500 system. They worked great for about 4 years and then I boxed them up. I tried to use them recently and the control pod fell victim to some kind of firmware issue. The control pod powers on, then automatically powers off afterwards. This issue is not...

Like the title says, I'm looking for some education on my options for storing machine images. My office currently uses a 2TB external USB drive to hold machine images but is nearly full. I'm open to all solutions to achieve the following goals: 1. Easy to access and use. I imagine that most...

So I'm working with two pairs of computers at work. They are new dell computers (one pair being some R320 servers and the other Optiplex XE desktops), freshly installed and configured. On the servers, I go to click on the control panel and see that it is set to open as a menu, and on the...

I bought my wife a Wii U for Christmas and she has really been enjoying Nintendoland. I also picked up Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort since we enjoy playing those. I heard that the Wii U upscales games but I've not really heard a mention of specific games outside of Zelda Skyward Sword. My...

I have a like new condition Coolermaster Stacker 830 in black that I'm no longer using since I've downsized. It is one of the original Stacker 830 models so it does not fit the extra long power supplies. There is one scratch on the side of the case that was there when I bought it new. I believe...

It was pretty fluid, fast, and internet explorer worked well. I don't own a tablet but I've demoed many at various stores. I still don't plan on buying one yet as I do not believe they would be useful for me. My quick thoughts follow. The keyboard would take a bit of getting used to as you...

In the Houston Fry's ad I saw the Polk Audio RTI12 floor standing speakers on sale. The pair for $599.98. They are good home theater speakers and that is a really great price.

I did some internet searching but could not come up with anything definite. Using a widescreen laptop (1920 x 1080) with Win 7, I startup XP mode (integration features disabled) and it starts windowed in the last resolution I was using (1280 x 1024). If I maximize the window or click on...

A few months back I researched how to get my existing 2.1 setup (bookshelves, a separate power amp, and a dedicated powered subwoofer) to work on my laptop at the office. My goal was to use all components, have the bass properly redirected, and not spend more than about $100. Well, I achieved...

I just want to bounce some ideas off the members here to see if I'm missing any options. Current Setup: I have the creative home theater cable that takes the three analog jacks and breaks them out into the 7.1 analog channels, so I use the Left/Right and Subwoofer analog outputs of an X-Fi...

Just wondering if anyone has seen anything about there being a replacement for the X-Fi Elite Pro with a PCIe form factor. I actually use the breakout box (line inputs, Hi Z, and the phono input jack) so I'd rather not give that up. I've not found anything on the market in a PCIe card that...

So I finally ran the 40ft HDMI cable between my rig and my TV this past weekend. I setup the video card to clone the output (Samsung XL2370 via DVI & Samsung D6900 via HDMI). I'll preface this by saying neither of the displays are professionally calibrated; I tweak them myself using an HD DVD...

I'm becoming a little overwhelmed trying to figure out how I will replace my current OS drive (Windows 7 HP 64bit on a 150GB Raptor) with my 256GB 830 that just arrived. My original plan was to use Norton Ghost 15 (as a boot disk because I'd rather not install it) and do a disk to disk copy...

Just kind of curious about how to add a dedicated subwoofer on the X-Fi. I don't really believe it can be done. I've been using a 2.0 setup (standalone amplifier with two bookshelf speakers) for a while and I've recently received a separate subwoofer. I know if you select 5.1/6.1/7.1 for...

I have a computer I'm thinking about upgrading to an SSD. GA-EP45-UD3P Core 2 Duo (E6600) 2 GB RAM (DDR2 XMS) Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit From what I remember, the motherboard only has standard SATA interfaces (3Gb/s) available. I'm currently running a 150GB WD Raptor and it makes way...

It had a dual core atom, 2GB of RAM, 128 GB SSD (samsung I think) hard drive. There was an active stylus with a button or two, one for the right click functionality and a capacitive touchscreen. It had HDMI out, a USB port, SD card slot, a dock connector, some buttons at the top, front and rear...

Riddle me this. A basic excel sheet (xlsx), all cells formatted as "general". Below represents a single column. Sorting by A-Z on this column from "ET-xxx" to AWV-xxx" does not change the position of "ET-xxx". :IOD ET-xxx AMV-xxx AMV-xxy AVV-xxx AVV-xxy AWV-xxx The only way I've...

How the F!?K do you unstow or unhide the stone tablet (slate) once you hide it. I can't find any explanation of controls for this game.

I posted a while back about wanting to downsize but I couldn't find nothing that interested me. My main requirement was an aluminum case with minimal plastic including the insides (which kind of ruled out CM and Silverstone). I only run an OS drive and a storage drive, everything else is...

So I'm running a fairly decent laptop at work (Dell E6510, i7 Q740, 8GB RAM, Win 7 Pro 64 bit) and I don't understand why audio in Windows 7 seems to be so much more difficult than it was in Windows XP. For example, playing back my flac library in foobar (with no special setup) always worked...

Title says it all. I'm looking for a free, lightweight CAD dwg viewer that doesn't require an install. I don't want InfranView with a share or trial ware plugin or anything similar. Does it exist? Oh, for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit too.

I've always been a fan of big cases. I've been living happily for 4 or so years with my black CM Stacker 830. It has been a good case but I'm ready for something different. My main gripes with the stacker are related to the ease of working in the case. I didn't really realize how poor it was in...

I'm going to be building a new computer early next year and I am looking for a suitable replacement for the X-Fi Elite Pro I currently use. Some of the motherboards I'm looking at do not have any PCI ports. I would also like to keep all my computer needs in one box, meaning one box for both...

Title says it all. All USB ports have failed on my Biostar TForce 965PT board. The have been giving me trouble for several months now so it was only a matter of time. Anyone can recommend a commonly available board that I can pickup local (Fry's, Microcenter, Altex) that will work with the...

I'll try here since the mobile phone gurus are unresponsive. I have a factory 3GS on AT&T and barely any apps. When I go to rural South Louisiana, occasionally my phone will show no service. If not, the signal will be 1 or 2 bars at most. I don't believe it should ever go to no service in...

I have a factory 3GS on AT&T and barely any apps. When I go to rural South Louisiana, occasionally my phone will show no service. If not, the signal will be 1 or 2 bars at most. I don't believe it should ever go to no service in this location and the AT&T support guy agrees with me. There is...

So the PS in my mom's Antec Aria died. I will attempt to repair it but it is shrieking pretty bad when you plug it into the wall. Assuming it is dead I either have to get a replacement (~$50) or find a replacement case with a PS. Is there anything out there that is SFF, kind of stylish, that...

I seem to be having trouble finding something like this in a 16 or 32GB model. I found a 128GB Corsair drive that has around 28MB/s write speed but it is stupid expensive and bulky. The largest fast drive I can find is 8GB. Any recommendations are appreciated. I'll be running NTFS (have to...

Currently using an old 15" LCD (TN) 1024 x 768 display on a C2D machine with an 8800GTX. I would like to get something better obviously. I am looking for something 23" or larger. I know about the 1920 x 1200 vs 1920 x 1080, coming from 1024 x 768, I don't think it would make that much...

I picked up one of these at Best Buy when they were being discontinued. It's been sitting in its box all this time so I figured I should just get rid of it. I would prefer a local sale. $50 pickup. I'm willing to personally deliver anywhere in the greater Houston area for $5 more.

So around the office lately I've been listening to music while I work (large library via computer or pandora via computer/iPhone 3GS). I want to get a set of wireless earbuds that are light and comfortable. I have looked into the bluetooth options and am not really impressed with any of them as...
