I'm not sure why but this thing won't even connect to the internet with the home version now. It's not detecting being directly wired into the router or modem. The partition isn't listing under the computer settings now either. Bleh.

I bought a computer that had Windows 7 Pro. It didn't come with a disc but does have the product key sticker. My wife installed Windows 7 HOME over it *gah* ...now I can't figure out how to undo that to get it back to professional. Seems to be a downgrade. The drive does have a partition...

Thanks tons!

OK, so I have had such a chaotic day. I just had a thread about getting my admin button not to highlight. Now I'm guilty of accidentally (re)installing Windows 7...but it was the freaking HOME edition, not PRO. I didn't pay attention. *sigh* Did I just totally screw myself over? Did Home...

Maybe I should rephrase it then :( Why isn't there an option for the -administrator- to login? It just says 'user' and can't be clicked. Only thing to click is change password, which gives the stupid media response. I'm reinstalling Windows 7 and hoping that works. Stupid microsoft

When I try using Safe Mode, the stupid thing still asks for an imaginary password. This is MY computer and I've never set a password. The password isn't the issue as much as the software erroneously demanding one despite never having had one entered.

Actually, maybe they do: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/unable-to-login-error-user-profile-service-service/8fc2a399-cecf-44d8-a48f-6a8197ab80c1 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/947215 And ESPECIALLY -----...

Hello yet again... We have Windows 7 and never had a password to get into Explorer or however you just 'use the computer'. It would boot up and go directly to the desktop. Now, seemingly out of nowhere, it has an icon and wants a password. Nobody ever entered a password. You can't click the...

Does anyone know if this version would fit in a SFF (as long as the power would be addressed?) Not sure where to get a real power supply for a SFF anyway :( HP 6200 Pro is the unit in question. Hard to get straight answers from the local place

I can't wait for new AMD processors. I can easily see the difference on the Intel processors, but when it comes to AMD, it isn't so straight forward. Having my i5 was a huge improvement over the i3 3220. Both are faster than the FX 4300, though

Cool, thanks for all the info! I have never done any overclocking or know how to do it either. It is harder for me to find out about AMD's processors rather than Intel's. Last I looked, AMD was going to come out with some big one, but that was what I read last year, and it still hasn't...

For POE, I initially had a GT730 card, which played it pretty well, I thought. He would have behaviors when it lagged, so the GTX950 fixed that! Never fails, the more I seem to learn about computers, the more the next obstacle has nothing to do with what I have learned :/

I have a 2013 Fx-4300 with a GTX950, 4Gb 1333, and it's not as fast as I'd like... I want to get it to 8Gb, and I was thinking "what if I got a Fx-8370E processor?" Is this the 'best' for the MoBo? I don't know much at all about AMD's processors, I try to compare them to my i5-2500, and...

Thanks tons! It was downspeedtest and something else that kept trying to re-install itself. When one deleted, another would regenerate. Fixed so thanks!

I'm not positive it's Au_.exe that's doing the hijacking, but I don't know what else it could be. It's what is displaying when you run Firefox and hit task manager
