Update! It works!! I found an L shaped Logitech USB receiver that works. It has a USB wire and an old school green keyboard connector for the keyboard port in the back of the computer. It says "Logitech" and "connect" with a push button...not "SecureConnect" like the keyboard says, just...

I have at least 20 keyboards (I need to stay out of thrift shops!) but I found one I just love. It is a Logitech wave type wireless keyboard. I scoured the net looking for info on it using every number printed on it. It has "M/N: " and a number-but no, that was not a valid model number. The only...

What don't I hoard? I still have my Timex/Sinclair and Atari Computer stuff (tons of it!) I just bought an Ethernet that runs on the hose wires. I know I'll never use it-but it was 2 bucks... I need to stay out of thrift shops.

This is insane! I'd like to thumbs up, but every poster deserves it. Hehe! Love 'em!!

I sorry, this thread got away from me. I'd start with the basic stuff-and by that I mean diagnostic programs that have been around forever for a reason-they are very good at what they do. And free. Did I mention free? For temps I'd go with HWMonitor, then just the standard Windows free...

Is it just games? It sounds like a driver issue. I'd reinstall the drivers again (I know you already did). Make note of the version number of the drivers to make sure it you have the latest. And TaskManager can be a great friend. Make sure nothing is sucking up memory or cpu cycles. Also I...

Google and the New Google did not tell me this... "press F7 key on keyboard to make new folder in double commander" Apparently you are above and beyond our present day technologies! hehe. Thanks!

I searched high and low and cannot find a free File Explorer in between the lame (and seems to get worse with each iteration) Windows File Explorer and the more advanced Double Commander file explorer. I just spent a bizarre amount of time looking for the magic keystroke or mouseclick that will...

Why are they allowed to "sell" products they don't actually have? Anyway I spotted a great deal for my Dad-a LG 24MP60G-B 24" monitor for $125. Apparently they don't actually have it so I am looking to replace his old 19" square Viewsonic monitor with a more modern model (for the kids out...

In the US they are getting better,but my upload speed is 10 MPS and 300 down with a VPN (coming from 300 baud dialup,I'm impressed!). So lets do some math since most people have asynchronous internet (high download and slow upload). 5TB at 10 mps equals "not gonna happen!"

CPUs and GPU's are getting cheaper (finally!). Save up and play GTA 5 in the mean time.

No! So much NO. No! First,as a general rule,you don't want to go into debt (which is what you are doing when you pay per month) for anything other than a house and maybe a car. Second,what are you going to be using the computer for? As for the mobo,it will be a Dell mobo that will almost...

I'd like any very low power/cost PI or Adruino to load and run GTA 5 Online. Not play-I don't need any kind of even decent graphics,just something that will load and run it. It is for my 2nd account...In the game sometimes you need 2 people to do something and that can be a pain.( Epic Games...

Btw-what games does your nephew play?

Larry, whatever you decide the B&H deal is great if you can still get it. Worse comes to worse, sell it as new unopened and make a small profit.
