    Is Windows 10 worth it?

    I have to agree with darkbreeze - Windows 10 does feel distinctly faster. It also boots significantly faster. DX12 and the other enhancements are just icing on the cake. The update process was completely painless and I strongly recommend Windows 10 for anyone out there that is considering it. I...

    Rolling Back From Windows 10 To Your Older OS Appears Problematic

    You and I can banter back and forth all day/night long... From the sounds of it, you have never actually worked in IT. I HAVE for many years and I am telling you that the average computer person (not developer, not power user) will need some retraining to handle Windows 10. Would you like to see...

    Rolling Back From Windows 10 To Your Older OS Appears Problematic

    KVM Switch Not Working!?

    Actually, I have a USB KVM switch and the USB ports where the mouse and keyboard plug in are labeled and must be connected to the correct devices. It looks like only the keyboard USB port watches for the SCROLL-LOCK, SCROLL-LOCK keystrokes. When the keyboard and mouse are reversed, the mouse and...

    Realtek High Definition Audio Causing Video/Audio Stuttering

    I have been following this thread because I was having the same problem with stuttering audio since moving to Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit... I have tried all of the suggested solutions and none worked. I did notice that I was getting some process stalling from swap activity (strange with 24GB of RAM...
