    low, quiet vibration from hard drive

    I hear a quiet, low vibration in the case, which comes and goes. I heard this before, and posted a thread before on here. The conclusion was a bad power supply, which is no shocker because it was a very low-quality unit. I replaced it with a new one (https://goo.gl/PFjTcq). This resolved it...

    How do I turn off full screen start menu?

    "I used to use Start Menu 8. It will bring back the classic start menu. Another called Classic Shell if you're interested." Thanks a million! I didn't think that there might be third-party software for just this scenario. Classic Shell is working beautifully.

    How do I turn off full screen start menu?

    The main idea is in the title. I have a practically ancient HP 2000 Notebook. I recently did a full factory reset on it and have upgraded to Windows 8.1. I spent a while on the phone with a Microsoft rep overseas somewhere to no avail. I know that I can switch back and forth in tablet mode in...

    Dell Optiplex 360 Form Factor

    I own an old Dell business computer, the Dell Optiplex 360. After reading the service manual and calling Dell Tech Support for hours, all I could find out about the form factor is that it is a "mini tower". I would like to know the normal form factor (Micro ATX, ATX, etc.) because I am...
