I am trying to figure out if there is any solution to installing an old Microsoft mouse driver over the newer mouse driver that comes with Win10. Background: I've been using a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 since 2003. The mouse, in my opinion, is superior to all other mice simply due to...

I have been really happy with my Dell UP3017's. However, you can't buy them new from Amazon anymore. Are there any good alternatives that are 30", IPS, and 16:10 aspect ratio? These came color calibrated, which was also pretty nice, so that'd be ideal for the next monitor as well. I'm not...

I've been trying to avoid upgrading to Windows 10 for a long while now. It seems evident that I have to upgrade at this point. I'm trying to determine if I need to replace my current machine with a new one or whether I could upgrade specific components instead of the entire machine. Basically...

I've been using the HP 3600n now for 10+ years. The printer is extremely reliable and meets all of my demands. However, they no longer offer OEM toner for these printers. I've never tried aftermarket toner. I'll be giving that a shot before switching printers, but I am curious if there are any...

I have an ASUS P8B75-V. The manual states the motherboard supports up to 32GB of memory. It also states "You may install 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8 GB unbuffered and non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets." To take advantage of Dual Channel memory, I was hoping to install 2x 16GB memory sticks. Can I...

For 10+ years now, I've had my mom on a 3ware 8006-2LP raid controller that RAID1's her data. She's got an HDD failure and it looks like all of my HDD replacement options aren't compatible with that controller (controller has a maximum of 1TB drives and all hdds smaller than 1TB are old, used...

So I've got my new system built and don't know which setting to use for my RAID 1 array constructed of 2x SSD's. All of the info I can find says to use AHCI for SSD and RAID for RAID, but nothing mentions what setting when you mix the two of them together. Furthermore, I am running hardware raid...

I have an Asus P8B75-V motherboard. My GPU is using the PCIe x16 3.0 slot. I installed a 3ware 9650se in the PCIx x16 2.0 slot and it didn't work. Contacted Asus and they told me that only a graphics card would work in that 2.0 slot. Apparently I can only use the two slots for the same purpose...

I'm trying to determine if I need to replace my current machine with a new one or whether I could upgrade a component (most likely my RAM) and gain a lot of performance. I'm trying to avoid purchasing more RAM unless it's going to provide significant performance improvements. Current machine...

Hey guys, I'm interested in building a work computer. See below for details of what I'm looking to put together. 1) I'll be using this computer for work. I primarily work out of Excel, Photoshop, InDesign, Outlook, Firefox, Acrobat Professional and Word. I leave every program listed in that...

I brought a home computer into the office that was previously connected to a Homegroup. Now that the computer is in the office, when I go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\HomeGroup, I only receive a troubleshoot Homegroup option. Is there anyway I can leave/remove the Homegroup from this PC...

I'm running a machine that doesn't have a graphics card on Windows 7 OS. I RealVNC into the machine on occasions and I was wondering if there was any way I could increase the resolution without adding a graphics card to the machine. Currently, the most I can get out of it is 1920x1440. It'd be...

When I attempt to print documents to a PDF with Adobe Acrobat X Professional 10.1.7, the print to PDF window will randomly go to the background to where I have to select it from my taskbar before I can save the document or print it to a pdf. Does anybody have any idea on how I can fix this...

I keep accidentally double-clicking when I mean to single click. Is there anyway I can add a 5ms mandatory buffer into my mouse clicks so I don't continue to accidentally do this? Thanks.

I changed HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ExtendedUIHoverTime to 1000000 and it works for a random amount of time (usually 5-30 minutes) and then resets itself. I've created a bat file that'll change it back to 1000000, but I'm tired of clicking on...
