A comment from Robert
I am forever sold for these "Computer Angels" of ours. When I signed up
for the service, I knew I already had problems with my PC and had been
driving me crazy for quite a few days. In short, TC resolved my "Ashampoo
Failure(s)". and also that horrible BSOD (Blue Screen of Death -
Wdf010000.sys. Although I saw all this "magic" being woven on front of
these old eyes, once thought that MSDOS 3.11 was quite a humdinger compare
to prior systems. And this was just Day 1 of my SeniorPass purchase for
this old coot, now there are about 360 more days to the contract! Robert
A comment from Bonnie
Thank you for your reply! I tried everything and finally went out and
bought a new computer. Your newsletter is a delight and I can't wait to
read it every week. Thanks so much for doing such a great job. Bonnie
A comment from Gwynne
Just wanted to say that you are one outfit that I am happy to support as
best I can. I'll be 88 next month, and friends like you have kept me happy
and safe on my computer. Best Regards always, Gwynne
A comment from Jean
Just imagine what the world would be like if we had more people like TC

race, and always here quickly to help us when we need their help and
advice. I cannot find adequate words to express my thanks and gratitude.
We all love you, TC and Darcy!

Susan's Windows 10 was working great, then everything changed
Hi Darcy & TC. I've been using Windows 10 for 2 years and all was working
well. All of a sudden everything went haywire. I must have done something
and now my desktop is covered with big tiles, my taskbar and desktop icons
are gone! I have searched everywhere for an answer, but nothing works. I
want the huge tiles gone and my taskbar desktop icons back. Can you help
me please? Susan.
Our answer
Hi Susan. It looks like you somehow turned on Tablet mode on your Windows
10 computer. Luckily, you can turn Tablet mode off (or on) in Action
Center. To open Action Center, press and hold down the Windows Key and tap
the A key. In Action Center, click on Tablet mode to turn Tablet mode off.
This will restore your desktop, desktop icons, and taskbar - as well as
your normal Windows 10 start menu.

For others reading this, if Tablet mode is turned off, clicking Tablet
mode in Action Center will turn Tablet mode on; clicking it when
Tablet mode is turned on, will turn it off.

Jill needs help with an HP computer drive partition
Hi Darcy & TC. Please read below and let me know if this is something you
can sort out for me if I buy a repair key. My second computer (HP Pavilion
Sleekbook 14-116AU14" laptop with 500 GB Hard drive and 8 GB RAM running
Windows 10) looks as if it needs its hard drive partitions amended as one
is shown to be full and we are getting an error message when trying to
update WINDOWS 10. There is a lot of room on the main partition. I have
attached screen prints showing the situation.
Many thanks as always for your help. Jill
Our answer
Hi Jill. Thanks! There is nothing to fix. That full partition is the
recovery partition HP puts on all computers. It is very small, it is ONLY
for the files HP put there, and you should not add files to it. It appears
you tried to save files to that partition/drive, so just open it and
remove the files you added. That partition is only to be used to restore
your computer to its factory state and for HP repair tools to function.

Marvil wants to know how to install Emsisoft browser protection
extension
I currently own and use Emsisoft Anti-Malware. With the new feature of
protecting my browser --- it does not have directions for my use in
CHROME, only for Microsoft Edge. Can you tell me how to do it?
Our answer
Hi Marvil. You can download and install
the Emsisoft extension for Chrome from this page. There are no
instructions for use; once you install it, it will automatically protect
your browser, If you want more information about what it does,
see this page.
Hope this helps you, Marvil.

Jerry has successfully installed Windows 10 version 1809
(October 2018 Update) on all of his computers but one
Question, my computer inventory consists of 3 lap tops, and 2
desktops. I have been able to install version 1809 in all of them
except my main desktop. It has plenty of ram with 12 GB and a huge 2
terabyte HD. When I go to Windows update it will not give me the
option to install it like all the others? All the other computers
installed with no problems. It took a while though. LOL. It's an HP
desk top. Thanx.. Jerry.
Our answer
Hi Jerry. First, thanks so much for your very generous support of our
endeavors. We both appreciate it.
What happens when you go to
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10? Do
you see this?

If you see that and you click on "Update now", it should
download the Windows 10 Update assistant. Once that is downloaded, you
can run it to update the computer you downloaded it to. If you click
on "Download tool now" you'll have option of creating an installation
USB flash drive (or DVD) as well as the option to upgrade now.
Please let me know what you see when you go to
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
. If you don't see the Update now or the Download tool now button, you
can always download the tool on a different PC and then create an
installation USB flash drive (you must have an 8 GB or larger flash
drive ready) and use the flash drive to upgrade the reluctant PC. All
you have to do is insert the installation USB into the computer that
won't update, use Windows Explorer to browse to Setup.exe on the USB
flash drive and run it. Choose the option to upgrade from the
installation choices.
We're here to help. Let us know if you need more help.

Sandy wants to make a contact list in the "new" Gmail
I so hate the new Gmail. How the heck do I make a contact list. I can't
upload a screen shot for you. There is no where on the left had side with
all of the options there that there is a contacts option. No drop down
boxes to find one. I've been through everything and there is just not a
place I can click on contacts and make a contact. Ugh!
Our answer
Hi Sandy. The "contacts" icon is on the right. Just click the "9" dots
(cube icon) and you will see a drop down menu. You should be able to see
the Contacts icon right away, or you may have to click "more" to see it.
Here is a screenshot for you Sandy:

Hope this helps you!

Nora has three questions
I have three questions for you.
1. I sometimes see this pop up. "Catalyst Control Center: Host
Application has stopped working" What does that mean?
2. Another pop up "this page wants to install a service handler. Allow
mail.google.com to open all email links? " Three choices - allow, deny,
ignore. I have it on ignore. What is that and what is the best thing to
do?
3. Is it good or bad to have "Hardware Acceleration" enabled in Chrome?
Sorry for the long and probably stupid questions but I am curious and I
know you have the answers! Thanks for all your help TC. Regards. Nora
Our answer
Hi Nora. There are no such things as stupid questions except the ones you
don't ask. I'll try to answer your questions for you:
1. I sometimes see this pop up. "Catalyst Control Center: Host
Application has stopped working" What does that mean?
Catalyst Control Center allows and provides a means for you to change your
graphics settings. It's usually associated with AMD processors and AMD
Radeon graphics cards. I personally never adjust my graphic settings and
I'm not sure how many people actually do.
My computer has Intel graphics and I've only opened the graphics control
program on this PC once in 3 years and that was just out of curiosity. If
you never change your graphic settings, you should just let it be unless
the pop up appears all the time and becomes annoying. You can re-install
Catalyst Control Center, or you can try to update your graphics (display)
drivers, or if you are not having any problems with your computer's
display, you don't have to do anything at all..
2. "this page wants to install a service handler. Allow
mail.google.com to open all email links? "
Simply put, this is Gmail's way of asking you if you want to make Gmail to
be your default mail program for opening "Mailto" links in emails and web
pages. Your choice.
3. Is it good or bad to have "Hardware Acceleration" enabled in
Chrome?
Hardware acceleration allows for more efficient processing of specialized
graphics - usually 3D graphics. Hardware acceleration uses specialized
hardware on the graphics card (the GPU) rather than using the main CPU to
process the specialized graphics. It's more efficient and faster to use
hardware acceleration. Most "experts" say you hardware acceleration should
always be enabled where possible because it results in better performance
of whatever application is using it.
I hope this helps you, Nora.

Jack's spell checking stopped working in Chrome
Good Morning &Happy Monday. If my memory serves me correctly...some time
ago you said Google Chrome has a built in spell checker. It was working
fine for me, but a week or so ago it disappeared. Is there a way to get it
back where ever it may be. "Thank You" for all your help thru the years
with Premium Issues and daily up dates. I especially appreciate the way
you explain things so even a non-geek like me can understand. Again
"Thank You"...keep up the good work & take good care of each other...Jack
Our answer
Hi Jack. Thanks so much. Since turning on Spell Checker in settings didn't
work for you, then it seems to me you have something installed on your
computer that is superseding the built-in spell check in Chrome- for
instance a browser extension. Or it could be that your Chrome browser is
corrupted and needs to be repaired.
You can try repairing Chrome;
just follow the simple instructions on this page.
If that does not work then you'll need to figure out what you installed on
your system that is blocking the spell check in chrome - I would guess
some kind of spell checking application or extension, but just a guess.
Let me know if you need more help.
Jack wrote back: "Thank you for your help! Repaired Chrome as per your
instructions. Back in business. When talking computers with friends I
always mention the two of you. They ask if you are really good. My answer
is always the same...I simply say "You are the best...bar none." Some you
have helped are of the same opinion. Stay healthy & happy & warm. Jack."

What Happens When You Reset a Windows 10 Computer?
Windows 10 (all versions)
If your Windows 10 computer is running poorly and the number of major
problems begins to mount - we sometimes recommend that you do a Windows 10
Reset. We have written tutorials on how to do a Windows 10 Reset; you can
read those here.
But some of you have asked for a more thorough explanation; you want to
know what happens when you do a Windows 10 Reset. In this article we're
going to explain what the two types of Windows 10 Reset do.
When you reset Windows 10, the reset operation will remove Windows 10 and
reinstall it. Many times reinstalling Windows solves a myriad of problems
especially problems that evolve from Windows file system corruption,
damage caused my malware, registry corruption and other serious Windows
problems.
There are two main ways to reset Windows 10. The first allows you to
reset your computer and keep all your personal files. The second removes
everything and reinstalls Windows. This option always has a secondary
option to wipe the hard drive and remove all traces of data and reinstall
Windows - which is a great option if you want to sell or give away your
computer.

1. Windows 10 Reset: Keep my files
When your computer is running poorly and the number of problems keep
increasing, this is the best and easiest option. Windows 10 Reset - Keep
my files does the following:
-- Saves your personal files (pictures, documents, music, etc.)
-- Removes programs and apps you've installed
-- Removes your personalized settings
-- Removes the current Windows installation
-- Reinstalls Windows 10 and puts your personal files and folders back
where they were.
-- Windows leaves a list of programs and apps that were removed on your
hard drive for reference after the Reset is complete.
After you do this type of Windows 10 Reset the only programs that will be
installed on your computer are the programs that come with Windows 10. If
your computer came with Windows 10 you may find that any applications your
computer manufacturer installed will also be installed. You will need to
reinstall any programs you had installed in the previous installation.
However we suggest you install only the programs you really need.
After you reset your Windows 10 method this way, you user account will be
the same as it was prior to the reset.
2. Windows 10 Reset: Remove everything
-- Removes Windows 10
-- Removes all your personal files and folders.
-- Removes all programs and apps you installed.
-- Removes all changes you made to settings
-- Removes all apps preinstalled by the manufacturer
-- Reinstalls Windows 10
Once this type of reset it done, you'll need to set up a new user account
and start over, so it's similar to setting up a new computer.
We hope this helps you understand how Windows 10 Reset works and what it
does.
Be a Text CTRL Freak!

This tip will work in any email program like Thunderbird, and
with most
web mail applications like Gmail and Outlook.com. It also works in word
processors such as Microsoft Word and many others. These text tips also
work in
WordPad which comes pre-installed with every version of Windows.
You want to make a sentence or word bolded, just highlight the word or
sentence and press CTRL + B. See?
If you want to underline a sentence or word just highlight the sentence
or word you want to underline and press CTRL + U.
See?
If you want to italicize a word or sentence, just highlight the word or
sentence and press CTRL+ i ... See?
If you want to make a word or sentence bold and italic and underline,
just highlight and press CTRL+B, CTRL+ i and CTRL+U.
SEE?
If you want to indent a sentence, just click CTRL+M

If you want to make a hyperlink (a link to a web site) highlight the
word or phrase and press CTRL+K. When you press CTRL+K a dialog will
appear, type or paste the web site address (URL) into the address field,
and viola! You have a link to a web site.

And if you want to create a new document press CTRL+N.
There are many more tricks like this. CTRL+C copies the selected text.
CNTL+V pastes the copied text. If you accidently make a change or delete
something you didn't mean to change or delete, if you press CTRL+Z right
away, it will undo or redo whatever you've done.
Microsoft is Offering Office App Free for All Windows 10 Users
Windows 10 (all versions)
On February 20, 2019, Microsoft introduced a new
Office app available to all Windows 10 users. It replaces the current “My
Office” app that comes pre-installed with Windows 10. You can read the
official Office App announcement
in this Microsoft blog post.
The new Office App is a lot more useful than the old "My Office" app for
those who are already using Microsoft Office. It is also great for to those who
don’t have either Microsoft Office installed or a Office 365 subscription. For
those who do have a 365 subscription or MS Office installed, the new
Office App functions as a hub for launching Office programs and opening recent Office documents. For those who don’t have Office installed
or a 365 subscription, the Office App makes it easy to access the free web
versions of Office programs.
The new Office App will come preinstalled with
newer versions of Windows 10. Those who don’t want to wait can
download the Office App here.
The new Office App is great for those looking for a free replacement
for Microsoft office; you don’t need a Office 365 subscription or have
Microsoft Office installed to use it.
The new Office app makes it easy for those who don’t have MS
Office or an Office 365 subscription to access the free online versions of Office
programs such as MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc. right from the desktop.
Most people don't even know that free online versions of these Office
programs exist as Microsoft hasn’t done a very good job of promoting
them. With the new Office app, all of the free online Office
applications will be available right from Windows desktop.
 Above: The new Office App for Windows 10.

Windows 7 “End-of-Life” Date is January 14, 2020
Windows 7 Microsoft has set January 14, 2020 as the end of extended support (the
end of extended support means the same thing as “End of Life”) for Windows
7.
According to “LifeWire” ….
“…Though Microsoft says it will support Windows 7 until January 14,
2020… it was already starting to block older machines, such as those using
Pentium III, in June 2018. It can block support for any machine it wants
at any time, so Windows 7 users should be prepared for that
eventuality...”
If You Are Using Windows 7: After its “end of life,” you can continue to use Windows 7, but
you do so at your own risk. After January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no
longer issue any further updates or security patches for Windows 7. That
means newly discovered exploits, threats and vulnerabilities in Windows 7
may be developed and compromise Windows 7 systems – even if good security
software is in place. In short, after Windows 7 “end of Life”, Windows 7
systems will become increasingly vulnerable as time passes.
Also, as we’ve seen in the past with Windows Vista and Windows XP,
software vendors stop updating software – or stop making software – for
unsupported operating systems. Over time those who continue to use Windows
7, will find it harder and harder to find new and/or updated software for
it.
As we saw with Windows Vista and Windows XP – antivirus software
vendors were among the first to stop making software for unsupported
operating systems.
Why? Because good security software partly relies on Microsoft
providing patches for major exploits, threats, and vulnerabilities as they
are discovered. After January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer be
releasing security patches or updates for Windows 7. This makes it
increasingly difficult for security software vendors to completely provide
effective protection.
If you are still using Windows 7, you still have plenty of time to
make a decision. And as of today, Windows 7 users can still
have the option to upgrade to
Windows 10 free of charge.
See this page.
In most cases, Windows 7 users should not have any problems upgrading
to Windows 10 should they choose to do so. However, upgrading an older
Windows 7 computer with older, and possibly outdated hardware, may not be
possible. If those using Windows 7 PCs with incompatible or outdated
software try to upgrade, the upgrade will fail, the update will be
reversed and the computer will revert back to Windows 7.
Late addition: Microsoft will be offering businesses
using Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Enterprise an option to extend
support for Windows 7 for an additional 2 to 4 years. This will be a
monthly subscription service - and it won't be free, however how much it
will cost has not yet been announce. There are no options for home users to
extend support - even if the home user is using Windows
7 Professional.

The Internet Archive: Wayback Machine
Do you remember Rocky & Bullwinkle? If you do then you’ll remember the
“Wayback Machine”. That was one of my favorite parts of the Rocky &
Bullwinkle show – along with “Fractured Fairy Tales”.
If you’ve been on and around the Web for as long as we have, then you too
have seen tremendous changes to the way the Web looks and works. Back in
the mid-90’s when we first laid eyes on the Internet, it was a far
different place than it is today. Back then if someone asked what you did
last night and you said “I surfed the web” – you were labeled a geek, a
kook, or worse. The Internet was and oddity. And back then I don’t think
even Darcy & I, who both loved the Internet the minute we first as we laid
eyes on it, ever thought it would develop into what is has today. The
Internet grew from and oddity to a necessity in less than twenty-five
years.
For those of you, like us, who sometimes find themselves longing for the
good old days of the web, there’s a website that can transport you back in
time – back to the days when the web was a simpler place – a place where
almost everything was free and the term “web designer” was used to
describe spiders – the kind with eight legs.
Let’s go back 15 years and look at Cloudeight Stationery. Back in those
days, our site was ranked in the top 1000 most popular sites. Here is what
Cloudeight Stationery looked like on June 2, 2004.
 If you go back farther than that you’ll get the
“Netscape version” of our site no matter what browser you use. Back in
those days, only Internet Explorer rendered our site and stationery
correctly – but that was OK then, over 95% of everyone using Windows and
browsing the Internet used Internet Explorer – there was no Firefox or
Chrome.
How about Microsoft in 1998?
Or Amazon in 1999?
How about Yahoo in 1999?
And one of my favorite sites of all time –
unfortunately long gone from the Web: DaveCentral.com – The first thing
I’d do every morning is get up, go to DaveCentral and download all
the new freeware he recommended for the day. Darcy used to laugh at the
stuff I’d put on my computer. I ran into problems being so aggressive and
installing new programs so prolifically, but I also discovered some really
great programs by trying all of Dave’s recommendations. RIP DaveCentral!
Do have favorite sites that have faded away or sites that you once
loved that have changed for the worse? Are you just curious about what the
Web used to look like way back when?
Our site pick today
The Internet Archive: Wayback Machine has over 360 BILLION web pages
archived and ready for your perusal.

machine and go back to another place and time? If you are,

Thoughts on Printers
It’s Saturday. It’s a day I use to catch up on things. Today, I’m going to
set up a new printer.
The other day, I ordered a printer (free delivery) to replace a 2-year-old
printer that says it has ink, but prints illegible things. It’s my 6th or
7th printer. I’ve had so many, I have lost count. Oh, don’t worry, I don’t
have 6 or 7 printers sitting around my house waiting for me to issue the
print command – I only have one printer.
Let me back up. I had no working printers at all, until UPS delivered my
new printer yesterday – and hopefully when I get it set up today, I’ll
have one that works.
The printer I was using (an HP by-the-way) was two-years old. I replaced
the ink in it twice, but it was haunted. It was haunted right from the
start. My travails started on Wednesday, I needed to print out a bank
statement to see why the bank showed I had $61.26 less than what I showed
I had – I hate it when that happens. Much to my chagrin when I punched the
print button, my printer responded by printing 4 illegible pages that may
as well have been Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Yep, I did all the usual stuff you’d guess I’d do. I ran the print-head
alignment thing, I did all the “Troubleshooting” things, I ran the HP
Doctor. And, of course, I checked the ink levels. The ink levels were low
but not empty. I thought I’d try putting in new ink cartridges and see if
that would fix things. I hopped in the car and drove to Wally World
(Walmart).
Wally World just “modernized” our local store, which means they moved
things around -didn’t add anything new or exciting. It took me ten minutes
to figure out where they moved the printer ink section.
After sorting though hundreds of different brands and model numbers, I
found the correct ink cartridges for my printer. What to my bloodshot eyes
should appear..

If you use a PIN to log in to Windows, don't forget your password.
Many people (including both of us) choose to log in to Windows 10 with a
4-digit PIN rather than a password. It's quicker and easier to type a
4-digit PIN than to type in a strong password. But if you use a PIN, it's
important that you don't forget your password especially if you're using a
PIN with a local account on Windows 10.
If you want to change your PIN you're going to need your Windows 10
password. If you reinstall Windows you'll (sometimes) need your password.
Those using Microsoft accounts can easily reset your password online. If
you're using a local account you won't have that option.
Our advice: Even if you use a PIN to log into your computer, it's
important that you do not forget your password.
If you don't know the difference between a local account and a Microsoft
account
