Today, when I attempted to rename a particular folder, I got the popup "Folder in Use." I closed all programs that might possibly be using the folder, but I still got the popup. After rebooting Windows, I still got the popup! What's going on? How do I fix the problem?

Hi there, I am new to this Forum, but not new to computing (on it since the 8086 processor and before). Recently I ran into a problem (after a move from Trend-Micro to Bitdefender) for which I can not find a solution or work-around, despite several hours of reading. Maybe somebody knows the matter is addressed already and just points me to the right thread.

Hello. At the moment my only "pair" of headphones has only one working speaker (the other is missing!), so I've been using VB Audio Virtual Audio Cable to combine both channels and play them through the left earpiece. Recently, though, I fell for one of those stupid driver updater scams, which installed that annoying RealTek bloatware, and I'm not sure if it was then or some time afterwards...

My company replaced their computers about a year ago, and my boss gave me one of the old towers to take home and use as my own home computer. I pulled the plugs on my old dinosaur computer, and hooked this one up. I have no need to access the work network... but the “new” computer will not connect to the internet using my current wired router. Ideas? I feel like somehow the work network is...

I have a bunch of CRT TVs, VCRs and VHS tapes, some I came into possession when executing relative's estates. I have tried to give them away on Craig's List, Facebook Marketplace and a garage sale with absolutely no interest. The nearest recycling center wants $25 apiece to take the TVs off my hands which would cost me about $100 to do. They won't even accept the VCRs. I can probably trash the...

Hello- I researched this and researched it until I'm blue in the face, with no resolution. Regarding the Windows 7 Network Map, I get this blue question mark suggesting an unknown device (see attachment). The only way I can get rid of it is to disable and then re-enable my Realtek adapter. That only lasts until the pc goes to sleep
