Reply to Front headphone jack not working in Desktops WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="BigDogBigFeet" reply="2" id="3686347"] Chasbo first I would try locating the correct Drivers for your Laptop/Desktop directly on HP website. Since you have an original Windows 8 machine they will have HP's latest Win 10 drivers for your hardware there. Also check Win 10 settings to set it for Headphones as your sound device. (assuming that's on you intend to use sound) [/quote] HP lists the computer as a win 8 computer. I couldn't find anyt

Front headphone jack not working in Desktops WinCustomize Forums

Realtek drivers are updated. None of the solutions I found online work. The options I saw for tweaking in the Realtek control panel aren't available in the version I have. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers a bunch of times. The only way the front panel jacks show up is when I uninstall Realtek altogether. I uninstalled Realtek from device manager but then if I go away from the computer like this morning I went and cut the grass but then I came back and Realtek was back! I even stop

Now that I'm using it, making widgets, fixing up wallpapers (old HP monitor was a 20"), etc. I get the immersive thing as when you work on the PC all your attention is focused on what you are doing. Glad the old monitor died it was a work horse for 7 or 8 years.

Curved Monitor in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Just wondering what you all think of curved monitors? I just got a 27" Samsung with the curve. So far I like it. At first I noticed the curve but It's getting to the point I don't notice it. They say you get a more immersive experience. I don't know about that but it's sure nice on the eyes and the extra real estate on the desktop is great! I'd give this monitor A+

Reply to CursorFX issues on Windows10 Creator's Update in CursorFX Stardock Forums

I upgraded to Win 10 and all the Stardock stuff works fine except for cursorFX. I have the latest version 2.16. I wonder why it's not working properly? What happens is there are random freeze ups which force me to use ctrl-alt-del. I can cancel and that seems to unfreeze it but that's certainly not how it's supposed to work. Putting it to the default windows cursor also works. Having used cursorFX for years with win 7 and having no problems at all makes this very frustrating.<

Reply to CursorFX issues on Windows10 Creator's Update in CursorFX WinCustomize Forums

I said the problem went away and it hasn't completely. The frustrating thing is it seems to come and go. Here's something else: When I hit ctrl-alt-del but not close the hung up task but click on what wasn't working it works! Seems like having task manager open makes a difference. As I said before cursor fx was flawless in win 7. It would seem as if after that there are problems in 8.1 and 10. I cannot use the default cursor. I have been spoiled. I wish this issue can

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="3" id="3676498"] Since the rig came with 8.1 you can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade [/quote] I didn't want to move off a 7. If it wasn't for my daughter I wouldn't have any computer right now. I think I would want to go to 10 in a clean install. Not a upgrade, you know what I mean?

My win7 machine died in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Last week my old Compaq win7 machine gave up the ghost. It was a solid computer that was in service since 2009. I never really had to do anything but use it all that time. It just powers off randomly. I'll have it looked at eventually. Maybe it's not a big deal. I was lucky because my daughter had an HP computer hidden away in her closet that wasn't being used. It's a desktop and she never liked it so she got herself a laptop and has been using the laptop. I offered to buy the desktop
