Thank you for the good advice to install OE Classic. I find it very easy to use, it works perfectly.

I have IncrediMail on another PC and my wife can&#8217;t miss all those animations and stationery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Our answer<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Hi Erik.

Computers don&#8217;t go Incognito, but browsers do. Google Chrome has an incognito mode &#8211; Firefox and Edge have &#8220;Private modes&#8221;. It just means your browser is not saving cookies or browsing history when you&#8217;re in Incognito mode (Chrome). Just close Chrome and reopen it &#8211; and it should reopen in normal mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Beverly is getting Blue Screens (BSODs)<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Hello EB &amp; TC.

Blue Screens are almost always caused by bad drivers. Make sure you have not installed any driver updater programs &#8211; intentionally or unintentionally via bundled freeware.

Windows 10&#8217;s Weather app is great. I have the Weather app pinned to my Start menu as well as my taskbar.

It was in the writing desk. Everything in the writing desk was packed in two small boxes or so I thought. I now cannot find the envelope that contains the password. I am moving on Jan 4 and need the password to connect WIFI in the next place. Downloaded Nirsoft. Windows Defender tried to stop it, but I got over that hump. Extracted the files. Down at the bottom of Wireless Key view, 0 Keys are entered. But I do have a key and I do have a password.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When I attempt to install WIFI in the new place, I could use a new name and password but would rather not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I also tried the instructions you gave us using the command prompt.

Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft -meaning you&#8217;re not getting core security updates. In non-technical terms that means no matter what antivirus or antimalware you use, your Windows system is increasingly vulnerable to exploits, and the more time that passes the less secure your computer will be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I strongly suggest you upgrade to Windows 10; it&#8217;s still a free upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">We offer a service where we help you with the upgrade and make Windows 10 look much like Windows 7.
