Q: Question 1 – Windows 10 Version 1709 failed to update on my computer.  I checked the Update History and it attempted to update several times but failed. I attempted to run the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update to fix the issue, but no luck. In the meantime my HP DeskJet 932C stopped working with Windows […]

Q: The following message appears every single time I try to send/receive email. Mucho annoying! I am not a computer geek in any way, shape or form, but I did try to research this problem online. Unfortunately, if the explanation is in geek it might as well be greek to me. I use Windows Live […]

Q: What is your favorite ‘password keeper’ app? and Why?  – Jeri R. Midland, Texas A: Well now, Jeri, you’re trying to get this unpaid, freelance columnist/Geek to endorse a product, but that’s something that I’ve said since the very first edition of It’s Geek To Me published in July of 2007 that I would […]

Q: I currently use Kaspersky for my Anti-Virus and Internet security program. I know that this is a Russian owned company and, given all the real fears about Russian hacking, I’m a little concerned about continuing its use on my personal computer. So, I’m thinking of switching to another Internet security program once my subscription […]

Q: I allowed Microsoft to update Windows 10 on my desktop computer recently. It took over 2 hours and after it was done I was no longer able to receive email via my Outlook 2007.  I cannot access my Account Settings; I get “Not Implemented” when I try to receive/send.  When seeking help at Microsoft […]

Q: I am taken over by onesearch.org on my search line. I can’t figure out how to get rid of it.  Also, my computer, which is not very old is very slow, seems to be “doing” something all the time, sometimes hesitates to write when I type.  Microsoft informs me that I have had my […]
