    Question Issues with Microsoft LifeCam Cinema ?

    I have a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema like this one and a couple of days ago the image was suddenly horizontally flipped (i.e. upside down). I also use the tool CamooZ, and at the same time, some of the webcam settings like brightness, exposure and contrast in CamooZ stopped having any effect...

    [SOLVED] How to get my headset recognized?

    That looks like a reasonable suggestion, thanks! But are you sure this is the type of splitter I need? What you suggested: (2x headset in, 1x headset out) What I think I need: (headphones in, microphone in, headset out) Would you agree?

    [SOLVED] How to get my headset recognized?

    I have a HP ProDesk G5 Mini Desktop computer which has a headphone jack and a separate headset jack (i.e. combined headphone and microphone). Picture: When I plug a set of cheap standard earphones (the ones that come with your phone) into the headset jack, both microphone and earphones are...

    [SOLVED] Laptop RAM upgrade – which frequency and latency to choose?

    Thank you, I'll make sure to do that. Once installed, how do I properly test the new RAM for compatibility? Just use it for a week or so and see if any unusual crashes etc. happen?

    [SOLVED] Laptop RAM upgrade – which frequency and latency to choose?

    So as mentioned, I suspect that half of my current 8GB of RAM are built into the motherboard and are non-removable, because I only see one 4GB module when opening up my laptop. You can see the insides of my laptop in this video. So dual channel with same capacity won't work since the 4GB half is...

    [SOLVED] Laptop RAM upgrade – which frequency and latency to choose?

    I would like to upgrade the RAM on my Acer Aspire A515-51G and I'm not quite sure what to pick. First of all, here is a screenshot from HWiNFO: Note that even though I have 8GB of RAM, HWiNFO is only showing one module with a capacity of 4GB. And when I open the back of my laptop, indeed I...

    How to install/boot Windows in UEFI mode

    Hi Karen, I checked in diskpart and my only partition does not have an asterisk in the GPT column, so I assume it is formatted in MBR. Is this a problem?

    How to install/boot Windows in UEFI mode

    I just got an Acer Aspire A515-51G which came with a Linux distribution preinstalled. The first thing I did was install Windows 10 instead. I used the Media Creation Tool to create an .iso file and then burned this file onto a DVD. When I tried booting the laptop from the DVD in UEFI mode by...
