General Computer Support / Windows Update isn't downloading updates? why?

« on: June 26, 2019, 04:46:43 pm »

So I had a hard drive failure so the geeks at Best Buy tell me, but when I pug my drive into a slave drive,hmmmmmm I will be damn it works. Windows wouldn't load up, so that is why I took it to the best.
So I asked them to download windows 8.1 x64-bit. and install Chrome and update windows completely. I will take it from there which you think you wouldn't have to ask them to do. ( do you ask your mechanic to put the wheel on when he finishes your brakes) anyway so I am looking at my windows update today. it says it was never updated, and won't update now. it actually says that I have all updates. that was like 2 weeks ago that I took my system to Best Buy can someone help. I am getting tired of buying programs that don't work. I have been looking at Tweaking.com software another program that promises to fix this and fix that I do a lot when I need to fix situations. I try but I am getting tired of spending more time keeping my computer to run and I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to computers I do good. So can someone help me with this.

General Computer Support / UAC- User Account Control, what is going on. Hopefully someone here can help.

« on: June 26, 2019, 04:11:42 pm »

what I thought would be a little problem. Evidently it is a major problem. Okay what happens is when I want to open a program. I click on run as admin. and then a User Account Control box comes up, that I have to either answer yes or no too. here is my problem, my mouse doesn't recognize the box at all. I can see the box and all but the mouse won't respond to it, like its not there. I have to click on the touch screen to make it work. So what is this problem. How do I fix this.

please if you don't understand what I am asking and you never used win 8.1 64-bit then please don't answer. please ask me any info you might need that I forgot, thank you. but my problem is up above.

I am using this program and I want to print #6 3/4 envelopes. But at the bottom next to the * it states that I need a certain driver. Is this driver for the program or do I need to find the driver for my printer ( HP Deskjet 3512 ) I am using Windows 64bit. If anything else is needed for information, please ask first. Thank you.

General Computer Support / Internet Connection

Well my internet comes through cable from Comcast.Now here is the kicker.The city i live in owns the franchise from Comcast.They use the power of the city not to allow other ISP in the town except satellite which you need a two year agreement,which i do not agree with anyone on,or having a two year agreement.Then what they do is mon-fri when i am at home during the day and not at work.They throttle my internet connection for the businesses in the area,we live in a high economic strived area,and i pay the same per month.They say there is a way to change your peak hrs the ISP puts you on,any ideas how to boost my internet.Change anything that can get me closer to the download speeds i pay for.It irritates me they do this,now i want to irritate them.And if they don't like what i do,we can take legal means in court.But i don't think its fair to me.Thank you.I am not asking anyone for anything legal,Just how do i get into my modem (provided by the ISP and change a few configurations around to get the downloads i pay for.

Feedback & Suggestions / Thank you for this site

Well i have been here a few days and i am liking the Tweaks that you have..I found my way here from a website called Raymond.cc and from there to BlackViper.com.Well its great to find sites like this,they are hard to find,the good ones like these.I am always looking for sites like this to help myself and others out if i can.If i use sites like this to help others and charge them its for my time and not at all for using the programs or I pass it on.I will say this and hope you understand.I have in the past paid for full versions of programs; had to pay for them only to find out that in the end they didn't work.So i will never ever again pay for a full version of a program.What i do is look for those like Tweak.com the little guy(no bad point intended) and if the program works and i can try it for a few months,i love to donate and have been to those that help out people like me.The antivirus i use I donate to and a few others.Its not any of the big fancy guys whos programs in the end don't work,take over your system.I would like to see more programmers who take the time to make programs that work,ask for donations.You know they are serious and take the work they do to heart.The thing that i don't get and lets take one of the biggest antivirus groups at hand,is they build a free and paid version,usually the paid version is for automatic updating,so if you use the free program and it doesn't work,why would i want to pay for the paid version.And with the economy as bad as it is you look over their paid version and see that they have lets say 2.5 million users and you look at their free version and they have 8.4 million.To me its greed if they wouldn't charge people so much and make a working program just at 1.00 donation if they took it,they would have an extra 8.4 mil in their pockets.Well i voiced my opinion about this site.And in the future it would be a great tool to know where to go for Tweaks,default lists and other categories of Windows OS.Thanks for this great site.I am learning how to use it as we speak
