I want to index not only the properties but the contents of ALL of my files. I can go into Indexing Options, select one extension at a time, and click the radio button to index contents instead of just properties... but I have hundreds of extensions.

I need a new monitor for my computer because the old one is dying. It takes 10 minutes or more to load up. But I'm wondering, do I need a certain kind of monitor or will they all be compatible with my computer? My dying monitor was a 17 in. I tried a different monitor that my brother had which has a wider screen. I used it for a few weeks and then the sound went out in it. But one thing...

I have a Computer Engineering and Science background, so I know about computers and the dangers of compression. I want to find out, a couple things. I am using Windows 7 on my computer (never bothered to switch to Windows 10 which a lot of people, including me, consider a downgrade). But I may want to compress a partition of a drive, until I get money for a new one. 1) I have a 300 GB...

I've been getting BSODs basically with increasing frequency for the past few months. I really can't tell what's causing them; there doesn't seem to be a common thread other then that it happens when I'm playing a game (it's happened on Rising storm 2, Garrysmod, CS:GO, and GTAV). In the last 24 hours I had 3 and decided that I needed to figure out what was causing it. I've been going through...

Every ten to twenty (or even every few, on occasion) minutes, I hear the Windows USB disconnect sound (but never the 'Connect' equivalent). I have searched for a way to locate and fix the problem, but all I have come up with so far is to open up all the possible USB connection items in Device Manager and watch for changes as the sound occurs. Or just turn off the Windows USB warning sound option...

Good evening, I have an *OEM* [as in the product ID xxxxx-*OEM*-xxxxxxx-xxxxx] HP laptop [the one I mainly use for the Internet - this one I am on now] that is about 10 years old. My Brother-in-law has the *exact* same model. The one he has got has hardly ever been used. Is there any reason why I can't just swap the HDD over? If the MB and BIOS are the same would there be a problem? ...
