    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It was a cheap wired one anyway and my old bluetooth keyboard works fine on the new computer but I wanted to use youtube " how to " videos to jump back and forth between computers and not have to unplug and replug into the new one.

    Looks like Windows 11 is preinstalled and the account's name is " Dell " . I'm guessing it was set up without a Microsoft account which is what I want . I had been a bit worried because of the way I had found out it was delivered { hearing a loud thud outside my door } but everything appears...

    Yeah I'll admit I find the task a bit daunting . Everything is now out of the boxes and plugged into each other but no power is plugged in yet . First task will be to boot up and use the Shift-F10 keys to get a command prompt to type in START MS-CH:LOCALONLY which will bypass the Microsoft...

    Computer, monitor, a camera card reader, and a bunch of cables arrived today . My cleaning person dug a hole on my desk to put the new computer alongside my old one until the transfer is complete . Don't think I'll tackle the project for a couple of days. I hope the computer is alright as the...

    Thanks Syd . Both you and Sandy seem to approve of my choice for a computer so I pulled the trigger this morning .

    Aargh ! The damn thing just crashed twice with that " Power Surge " message . I'll admit I'm a little intimidated by going into the BIOS even if the instructions I printed out are pretty easy . A couple of more times and I'll have to do it ..... My version of Photoshop is 6 . And it's a cracked...

    Thanks Sandy. I'll go ahead and order it. I downloaded Belarc Advisor and ran it. Here is a scan of the first page. It appears my virus protection needs upgrading as well as a couple of security updates. If I click on those options will Belarc Advisor fix them ? ​

    Any Audiophile Steamers Out There ?

    I agree with the consensus here that speakers are the most important bit of kit . Though the audiophile mantra is source first ..... I bought my Gershman Avant Gardes directly from Ira Gershman when Vancouver was the last stop on the audio show circuit . It is quite common for audio...

    Any Audiophile Steamers Out There ?

    You're on to something there . I did a little research and found I could run an SPDIF optical cable from my computer to an input in my DAC . That bypasses the streamer and goes direct to the amp . So I did it and set up Qobuz to list albums alphabetically by artist . Works well but when I did a...

    Whenever I order a burger and fries I always ask for a side of Mayo and a side of Dijon to dip my fries in ..... Never had any trouble getting it, but I really never have ordered it in a Mexican restaurant so I wouldn't know .....
