    Have a laptop

    Is it an Apple, Windows, or other laptop? If Windows, what version? When you say "it works", what it wrong with it that you want to reset it?

    How to add something like this to a website I'm designing

    I haven't used Dreamweaver or WordPress so can't help there, but industry sentiment appears to be against Dreamweaver, so I'd go with WordPress. Be careful about what you let your users upload. You should at least validate the file type is expected, but ideally check all uploads against a...

    You Tube Select not operating correctly

    According to Wikipedia, the latest Safari version is 14.0, so you're several versions behind. I'm not an Apple person, but what I can see, they bundle Safari updates with macOS updates, which is why you haven't been upgraded. I guess the official Apple response would be "you need to buy new...

    You Tube Select not operating correctly

    When last did it work for you? Adobe blocked Flash Player on 12th Jan. YouTube may have been using Flash previously, and changed to HTML5 since. Are you running the latest version of Safari?

    Kaspersky VPN

    That's shocking. They've got no grounds to block VPN sites - they're not illegal. I'd have a right moan.

    Kaspersky VPN

    It's likely a subscription with an initial free period, so you would need to start paying at some point. Whether it's worthwhile depends on what you do online, and how highly you value your privacy (in terms of advertisers tracking you). A VPN will almost always slow down your internet...

    Google Hangouts, Scams etc, Advice, Stories.

    By default, assume everyone on the internet is lying. If she's asking for money, it's probably a bloke in India. Besides, even if she is being completely honest, asking for money before you've even met is a relationship red flag.

    Windows XP

    So we're just forgetting about Microsoft Bob then?

    Securely wipe laptop

    Deleting or uninstalling apps isn't required as a precursor unless it's the system volume. As an alternative to wiping the drive, you could encrypt it which achieves your primary objective and has security benefits for the new data. MS BitLocker (paid) or VeraCrypt (free) with the option to...

    Android 4.4.2

    You can, but it's non-trivial. Hardware devices have a specific chipset. The operating system needs to be compiled for your specific chipset. The vendor then cryptographically signs the compiled version, so the device trusts the package. Vendors stop doing this for older hardware because there...

    synchronize to Live

    I haven't used LiveDrive so I can't answer your question directly, but you can trick Windows into thinking your D drive is just a folder on your C drive. If the data appears to be on your C drive, then LiveDrive will likely try to synchronise it. This is dependant on your drives being formatted...

    Canon iP7250 and Win 10 seeing Red

    Sounds like a hardware issue to me. A print head might be clogged and bleeding.

    Help with MS Access appreciated :-)

    I think you've got an issue with the form that you're using to input the data - the database design is correct. As you say, you'd enter the drinker, pub, and date on the main form, and the purchases on a subform. When you commit the transaction, get the visit ID from the main form, and add it...

    Help with MS Access appreciated :-)

    I think you've already got the solution. Four tables: - drinkers (customers might be a better term) - pubs - purchases - visits Drinkers 1:* visits Pubs 1:* visits Purchases *:1 visits So you'd store Bob on drinkers, Flying Horse on pubs, the date on visits, and the purchase item, quantity...

    Laptop wont boot

    Pete is also right about backups, but that doesn't help you now. If you don't have backups and you have important files that you really want to get, you could try taking the harddrive out the laptop, inserting into a 2.5" external enclosure, and plugging into your girlfriend's laptop. You may...

    Laptop wont boot

    Pete makes a good point. Reinstalling might fix Windows, but won't fix the root cause of why it crashed in the first place. I can't say for sure, but my guess would also be the harddrive failing. Once you've booted into the Windows installation media on your USB, you should be able to run...

    Laptop wont boot

    Do you have another laptop you can use? Download the windows 10 iso from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO Then burn to DVD, and reinstall windows from that media. If you don't have another computer, there's not much else you can do. Sounds like you've tried...

    Encrypted Emails

    The part about configuring TLS only applies to business and organisational accounts. Typical end-user Gmail accounts have TLS configured automatically, and can neither enable nor disable it. Businesses and organisations need to sign TLS using their own certs. Gmail signs end-user TLS using...
