UPDATE 2 I had things already in the Scheduler which fortunately remained after uninstalling then reinstalling WinTV. I wanted to update one and didn't have the problem that I had creating a new event. The situation was identical. I had created the event weeks ago, while watching live TV, and...

UPPDATE I recorded something with WinTV closed, and was able to watch live TV after the recording was complete [without restarting the laptop], which I wasn't able to do before. But I want to schedule something new, but I get "WinTV is unable to schedule the specified recording. No tuner is...

Hi. I've been using a laptop in place of a traditional TV and up until today it was working fine. I don't know what happened, but two days ago I noticed something on the laptop that I didn't install. I thought it was just some help file that I accidentally clicked to place a shortcut on the...

1. Startup doesn't actually remove programs, it just disables programs from being active upon starting the computer.. Either way, this doesn't affect the appearance of the Start Menu, which is what I'm interested in. 2. I do not want to pin anything. Not one thing. I want folders as they were...

1. I guess I chose wrong [conversation versus not.. Still newish to Tom's Guide]. I wanted to respond to techgeek, but.. 2. by width, I meant by default the Start Menu was as wide as the screen [depending on your screen I suppose]. There was so much clutter that turns out to have been pinned. I...

How. New to Windows 10. I figured out how to reduce the width of it by unpinning every single thing Microsoft thought users would be interested in. But now I'm at the stage where the Start Menu is ridiculous. It used to be you could create a folder in the Start Menu, then move programs into...

Does anyone know or understand why AutoRecovery doesn't work 100% of the time.. despite AutoSaving on a regular basis?

To your second response, Blackink, which version of Excel was Google working with? Not many people [I think] stick with old versions. I've seen some links similar to what you suggested, but when selecting "Open", it brings me to Libraries > Documents, and no Excel files. Thank you blackink...

BAH! that's what I'm thinking, USAFRet. Even when Excel is forced closed, that's similar to the computer crashing or something, and tries to recover [I've experienced that]. But, gah. this "restart" versus "restart".. STUPID MICROSOFT!!

Blackink, the files to the right of Open, Save, Print, etc, as far as I know have no relation to unsaved documents. Those are just documents you have opened recently. Chances are you worked on them, but clicking on any of them generally brings you to where it's saved, regardless of if it had...

*UPDATE* What also doesn't make sense, AutoRecover happened many times. Thus there were files [in theory]. I just checked the recycling bin [sometimes they go there too], nothing. I'm also doing a search on the C: drive for any file created or updated within the last [time frame], but I haven't...

Hi. One of the worst things that ever happens, Excel didn't recover!! I'm using Excel 2007 in Windows 7. I had a dozen or so files open. Some I had saved regularly, others were new documents [Books], that I had never saved, and some in between. I think another program I had open was using a...

Part of the problem was when going in to Programs and Features in the Control Panel, the older version allowed for repairs [after uninstalling 2016 [something I should have done before I started installing other programs], but the newer version didn't. I decided to click on Change, at which a...
