    External Hard Drives

    I was leaning more towards the WD My Passport actually because I have the WD My Book 3TB and I've never had an issue with it. WD seems to build things that last long-ish which is a big plus for me. I don't use the software for the drives ever, I just plug it in and copy/paste files to and from...

    That one song that makes you cry.

    This. Pretty much every single time too. Also my favourite song of hers.

    External Hard Drives

    Hello everyone, I was wondering what your opinions on the current best portable and non portable hard drives are? I have a Western Digital My Book 3TB desktop external but right now and I like it, but I was wondering if there might be something better that's maybe faster or has more capacity...

    Windows 8

    I didn't know that, and I don't know i my rollback completely fixed it or not. Some of the updates "vanished" from the Win Update menu after they failed, and none of the ones that worked are listed as an update I can uninstall. :(

    Windows 8

    I'm new to Windows 8 and was hoping someone here could help me out? I was having a ton of issues with the updates failing several times before actually installing, and Windows Update tried to update my ATI Radeon graphics drivers which messed them up. I went into the device manager to find the...

    That's exactly why I download some stuff instead of buying everything. I would just stream but I don't know any good streaming sites for movies and tv in Canada.

    Thanks for all the tips. I'm going to do a bit of hunting around to see what can protect me the best. I'm mostly going for protection from pop up ads (the ones Chrome can't block), and download viruses from software/movies/music.

    Windows Defender is the Win 8 version of that. :)

    Hi there, as some of you know I got a new laptop a few days ago and I was wondering what a good anti virus program is, free or paid (preferably free). I'm running Windows 8 so it has to work on that. I had a business level Symantec anti virus but I think it's finally dead (it won't update...

    Laptop Nuked Itself - Need Help Picking New One :)

    I need a laptop for portability right now, and once I have the money I'm going to build a gaming desktop. This one wasn't really meant for hard core games, it's a replacement for my old laptop that died which also wasn't a gaming laptop. Once I have $2000 I'll probably make another thread...

    Laptop Nuked Itself - Need Help Picking New One :)

    I ended up talking to some people in chat the morning I posted this and got an ASUS laptop for now. It was about $1, 075 with tax and warranty and it has a 1GB Radeon/AMD a10 and a 17" 1600x900 screen. I like it a lot and it's all I could really get for now until I end up getting money for a...

    Laptop Nuked Itself - Need Help Picking New One :)

    Hello ladies and gentlemen, I've been gone for a while now, not by choice either. About 3 months ago my laptop completely nuked its hard drive and I haven't really had a lot of computer access since. Now that I can actually afford a new one, I'm looking at Lenovo, ASUS, and HP. I don't think...

    Dead computer, but I'll be back.

    Sorry I've been done for so long. My laptop is a little broken right now, so it's hard for me to do anything involving graphic power. I even have trouble running multiple web browsers. :( I'm gonna format it, and hopefully that will fix my issue so I can get back on survival, classic and...

    If I ever start being like this, feel free to flat out tell me and call me out on it.

    Need some help with computers.

    Thanks. :) I've narrowed it down to two different laptops now and I think they both have the HM77 chipset and an intel 3rd gen i7. The main uses for it would be high graphic software (Photoshop mostly), and being able to play games on high settings while still having good FPS.
