    New Tom’s Forum Announcement & Feedback

    Finally got around to logging in. Maybe. 1.) Nothing tells me if I am logged in. Or a way to logout (if I am actually logged in). 2.) In the upper "ribbon", it looks like the last item is "AnandTech" but it looks like there may be more just to the right? 3.) Under "WATCH THIS NEXT", are...

    Best Password Managers (Archive)

    RoboForm has failed to keep up with Gmail's inane login process. I have more than one Gmail account, RoboForm has no way to get to a specific account and RoboForm/Gmail (not sure where most of the blame falls) insists on taking me to the last account I signed into. Do any of these "2017"...

    Color Printer Challenge

    I checked with my wife to answer your question, she prints the photos for scrap booking. While not confirmed, she will probably cut the subject out from the photo to put into her books. Quality is probably not in the equation. That said, I'll contact her and ask some more questions, bringing up...

    Color Printer Challenge

    I think she was planning on printing photos of any size in 8.5 x 11 paper. Cheap & simple. You are the first to respond and I will start my list with your suggestions. Thank you.

    Color Printer Challenge

    I have been assigned to find and install a printer for my wife’s sister. She is not entirely computer illiterate (she knows it is not “magic”). She can use a word processor, receive and answer mail, and a bit more. It will be a Challenge. Background: 1.) She has a desktop computer. 2.) She...

    Unexplained CD restarts

    I finally got around to checking the CD in my wife's car. Same year. My Highlander vs her RAV4. Different player models (at least externally). The results were a little different but close enough to validate your idea of a file setting some sort of code. I her car, when the CD got around the...

    Unexplained CD restarts

    Thanks. Sounds like a plan! Right after I try it in my wife's RAV4.

    Unexplained CD restarts

    That had crossed my mind. While the "in's and out's" are probably beyond me, I did run 2 tests. First, using the original disc, I jumped forward to #252 and let it play. It reset. Second, I used the disc with different #251 through #257 and did the same thing. It reset. Granted, the simple...

    Unexplained CD restarts

    This is really strange. I have burned BurnAware Free) 20 or 30 CDs (Sony CD-R, 700 MB discs) of 50s & 6os Rock and Roll in mp3 format for listening in my car (2011 Toyota Highlander). All have worked fine except one! I have a single CD that gets to a particular point and starts over. The...

    Skype opens itself

    Go to settings/privacy/background apps - Problem: There is no "background apps" in "settings/privacy". Is that the path in Windows 10? As I said, I am using Windows 8.1 (Tried Windows 10 and realized it wasn't ready for prime time.)

    Skype opens itself

    I don't have an answer but I have the same problem in Windows 8.1 and my computer is generally on 24/7 so no "on boot" is involved. It just started within the last 24-hours. The only way to stop Skyp from restarting immediately is the end the task in Task Manager, however after a while Skyp will...
