    1.2 GB Android video file, on transfer to Windows laptop is 1/4th size and time of original. Why?

    It sounds to me like the transfer was interrupted somehow. This kind of thing has happened to me before. Especially if wifi is involved. The speeding up at the end of the transfer sounds like what it looks like when a transfer is interrupted. If you can use an app like recuva on the phone you...

    PC Freezing completely and randomly when playing games

    I had this happen to me once. After eliminating a number of possible causes I discovered my RAM was under volted by the automatic settings of my motherboard. By changing that setting to manual and specifying the voltage the system hang went away in the game that caused it. Also depending on the...

    seeking advice on buying usb hub for surface pro 7

    I previously owned an acer w700p. It had this cradle thing that gave it 3 usb ports. One was dedicated to wireless mouse. The other two were flexible. I do know there are times where I'll need more than one usb port and 3 on rare occasion. I understand the usb c port would be used for hdmi...

    RAM not detected

    It sounds to me like the slot on the motherboard is the culprit. Since the system boots fine regardless of which chip is in slot 2 this indicates to me the chips are fine.

    When I copy and paste this into a command prompt (ran as administrator) it strangely returns OA3xOriginalProductKey instead of what is typically recognized as a product key.

    Do i need to do a clean install of 10/11 pro?

    I believe I have arrived at a course of action and am seeking additional advice. I understand that windows 7 keys can still be used to do clean installs of windows 10. I am pretty sure I have one unused windows 7 pro key but I don't know which of the two keys I have is not used. I could use that...

    Do i need to do a clean install of 10/11 pro?

    I own windows 10 pro. It is currently installed on my old tablet. Using info from searches I have identified the product key and that the key is a retail key. I just got a surface pro 7. It came with 10 home. Do I do a clean install in order to have 10/11 pro? And would there be any concern in...

    acer iconia w700p scroll using touch?

    I sure did. I can interact and scroll elsewhere in windows and in other apps I've tested. Which is why I find it odd I'm having problems with these two.

    acer iconia w700p scroll using touch?

    I just got my w700p and I'm having trouble getting it to scroll using touch. I expected like with other touch devices I've used that dragging with my index finger down would scroll up and dragging up would scroll down. However in firefox and cdisplayex it doesn't scroll when i do this. is there...

    I'm still shopping for my netbook replacement and looking for others thoughts

    In three years I've had two netbooks (eeePCs) both the DC jacks failed. This time around outside of the warranty. Best price I've gotten for the repair is about $100. I'm just not sure I can justify spending that much on a repair when the part can be bought from like 100 different places online...

    shopping for netbook replacement with tablet or tablet hybrid

    the w700 looks like a nice one as well. All three of those will need me to save for them so in the near future they may go down in price. Definitely tough to decide between them at the moment. I'll have to give it a lot of thought and whatnot and see if anyone else replies to the thread as well.

    shopping for netbook replacement with tablet or tablet hybrid

    I'm thinking if I were to have to replace my netbook in the next 2-3 months $300-400. If longer than that Up to $500 or so. I don't think I can justify spending too much more than that. When I saw a few for $1,000+ I was like what are they crazy? I'm a bit flexible on price depending on what I'm...

    shopping for netbook replacement with tablet or tablet hybrid

    So the DV port on my asus eee pc 1005peb is failing, and got the idea from android central to look into tablet and tablet hybrids. I kind of like the idea of having a hybrid for both the netbook kind of experience combined with a tablet experience. I'm having trouble discovering what my brands...
