  3. Well, just to provide an update, I went back to my old router (Linksys WRT) and have not experienced the problem, although I've only done a couple tests, so it's not conclusive. I'll do a few more tests this week.I've also installed Chrome, and will be testing that as well. I suspect the router moreRead more

    Well, just to provide an update, I went back to my old router (Linksys WRT) and have not experienced the problem, although I’ve only done a couple tests, so it’s not conclusive. I’ll do a few more tests this week.

    I’ve also installed Chrome, and will be testing that as well. I suspect the router more though, since I had the problem on two computers.

  5. I'm afraid everything points to something wrong inside the box.

    I’m afraid everything points to something wrong inside the box. Laptops are not the easiest computers to work on, so it is starting to look like the repair shop or the bin.

    However, does it “sound” as if it is working (whatever that means LOL). If so one of the many possibilities is that the cable between the screen and the motherboard is damaged in the hinge area. Put the computer on then slowly close the lid watching the screen. If you see anything flash up before the lid closes then that’s what it is all about.

    You could also try an external monitor see if it’s a screen/screen cable/screen connectors issue.

  8. I tend not to use "right click exe drag" to create shortcuts because it is not always consistent. For example, right now I went to my CCleaner in Program Files. There were two exe's, one called CCleaner.exe the other called CCleaner64.exe. With CCleaner.exe it offered to create a shortcut where I drRead more

    I tend not to use “right click exe drag” to create shortcuts because it is not always consistent. For example, right now I went to my CCleaner in Program Files. There were two exe’s, one called CCleaner.exe the other called CCleaner64.exe. With CCleaner.exe it offered to create a shortcut where I dragged it to. With CCleaner64.exe it wanted to “move the file itself”. My approach therefore is to right click the exe then use Create a shortcut from the menu. If the exe is in a system area, such as Program Files, it then says it will put it on the desktop instead. Fine because I can then move it to wherever I like. Maybe this is worth trying just to see if it makes any difference.

    Try this:
    Go to the Change Icon button in your shortcut. Does the correct icon now show in the little Window? If so double click that icon, then use Apply/OK on the larger Window that arrives afterwards. I have found many times that this variation in procedure makes obstinate icons stick. A trick worth knowing even if it doesn’t help your issue.

    Odd that the exe shows the correct icon yet you still have trouble with the shortcut. The only way I know to get around that is to use an icon extracting program which produces a small ico file from an exe. I then file that away somewhere and point Change Icon to this saved ico file. This is something I haven’t done since XP, although freebie programs are probably still out there.

    Note that I am now on Win 8.1 so sometimes it is necessary to start up a Win 7 computer to make a proper comparison or check things out (as I did in #9).
