    packaging computer parts

    Sorry in advance if I posted on the wrong forum, but I asked in the feedback forum & gotten no response. Anyhoo, I'm packing up computers for moving. I'm also scavenging parts from older computers like HDDs, newer sticks, dvd drives, etc so I can use on another system. Problem is, I didn't...

    google play app question

    Apps nowadays are pretty darn nosy. I was about to download an app when a pop-up gave me this warning about what the app may monitor. -Photos/Media/Files -Device & app history- Allows the app to view one or more of: information about activity on the device, which apps are running, browsing...

    Your computer is low on memory. Also....

    It happened again just now. Or rather, I noticed a few minutes ago. I did as Zepher suggested and even though the pop up message says to close Firefox, when I clicked on memory, it showed Google Chrome using over 700MB of memory. I closed Chrome and canceled on the pop up. However, with 8GB of...

    Your computer is low on memory. Also....

    When I ignore, it shuts down FF. Friday or Thursday there was a Firefox update. Maybe it's that. IDK. Another thing of note: On occasion, something will appear on my browser. It's happened on both Chrome and Firefox. It looks like lines or something. Like a program or screen is trying to...

    Moderate gaming laptop search

    I'm interested in the specs as I'm after a used pc for moderate gaming. I'm seeing cheap prices, but w/o general specs to go by, I can't make a proper decision. Going by what's posted here I guess: Quad core to i7 650m 8gb ram basically anything that will run what I listed a few posts...

    New Laptop

    Im also after a similar laptop and am wondering what specs I should be looking for. I don't mind if it's a refurb either. If it can play a game like Rome Total War (the 1st one, not the 2nd) then it will definitely do all the other stuff I want. Like watching movies, streaming vids, Youtube...

    Moderate gaming laptop search

    I'm also looking for a so-so laptop. When it comes to desktops I have a decent idea of what to look for, but this would be my first laptop and I'm clueless. I was told by a nice (and non-rip off) neighborhood store that I could get a refurb for 150-250, but I doubt it would be gaming worthy...

    Mozilla Firefox issues

    I have 30.0. I don't know about flash. Edit: I just remembered that I updated flash player around the same time. When there's an update my pc will let me know and ask if I want to update. Which I did. Of course, I didn't consider that being the issue because flash is for videos....

    Mozilla Firefox issues

    Ok after fiddling and fiddling, I figured out the problem. As I said earlier, when I do a search and click on "images" on the left hand side, FF won't let me go to the image webpage when I click on the hyperlink. However, when I used the arrow keys (< and >) to view the images, I could go to...

    Mozilla Firefox issues

    it does not work. That is assuming you meant this fix: Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" Another tidbit: A few days ago when this started happening, Id go to images on the left and click on an image. It...
