Thanks, Bruce. W32Tme was, in fact, stopped. I started the service but that doesn't seem to help. I don't find a Windows Time service listed though. Any other suggestions?

I'm trying to connect my Win7 laptop to a Windows XP laptop across my home router wirelessly. My Win7 machine doesn't see either of the other two laptops on the network, one XP and one Windows 7.

I've been experiencing a ½ second buzz about once a minute when running anything with audio (iTunes, flash, YouTube, etc.).

Update - I just got blocked from Google in Firefox. Restarting Firefox in Safe Mode didn't help, so it must not be Firefox plugins.

Opening Internet Explorer doesn't help - I'm blocked there. too....

I'm now using Firefox 15 and am seeing the same problem. At the moment, I'm getting blocekd from Pinterest, but can access Facebook and Twitter just fine. If I switch the rendering engine within...

I don't use Outlook, but the supposedly widely-used Vcard VCF format seems impenetrable to me. No program on my computer opens it in an easily readable form. (Notepad displays all sorts of code along...

Acronis seems to make a distinction between a system image backup and a drive image backup. What's the difference? How do I determine which I need? Or do I need both?

I'm getting repeated error dialogs from Thunderbird (release 14.0) during email downloads. One reads:

Well this is now even more absurd. Accessing Google on Firtefox 14 now reports "This Connection Is Untrusted". My date & time are fine. I'm malware-free. Little or nothing else running. Aarrgghh!

Thanks for all the feedback. What a wonderful resource this forum and all of you are. I've decided to try LastPass and am happy with it so far.

This folder may be the largest folder on my computer. What are all those MTS files andf do I need them? Or can I delete them?

Which of these applications can also fill in a password when required inside Quickbooks to download bank or credit card information? Or do they ojnly work inside a browser?

I need to replace my old Password Pro — a PC Magazine Utility from about 1995. I'm not looking for something free, but I would like to know what folks here think are the best ones. I've had LastPass...

In IE, I get a warning about Twitter that the name on the certificate doesn't match the name of the site. Why would that change? Or does this indicate Twitter's being hacked?

Every week or so I' suddenly find that Twitter won't load. Firefox says "This Connection is Untrusted". If I then go to Facebook, I get a page that says Invalid URL and cites "Reference...

The supposed solution to this problem is to delete a file called sessions.json. I have done that, and the problem continues. I have done it again, just to be sure, and again it didn't help.

Thanks! I'll BET that's exactly what was happening. It looked like nothing was happening so I closed the dialog. It looked for all the world as though the process had hung.

This is great to know...

Thanks, Paul. I found that when I copy a folder, only the folder copied, but not its contents. It seems I was able to open the folder and copy the individual files into the empty folder on the target...

Thanks, Clint., Yes, I always have Windows set that way.

Thanks, Paul,
