  1. Computer, can you hear me?

    Thanks folks for the info. I doubt I'll ever have anything I want to say to copilot that's worth a $80 microphone purchase. I've never once used that app so far.
  2. Computer, can you hear me?

    Does a speech recognition voice pack come standard in Win 11 Home?
  3. Computer, can you hear me?

    Any suggestions on what microphone I should buy?
  4. Computer, can you hear me?

    Latest update installed a version of copilot that says I can talk to it. What do I need to have on my machine in order for it to hear me?
  5. Solved A hard drive that is and isn't there.

    I used the Mini Too Partition Wizard to scan the drive. When that was over I scanned it again from properties and this time it completed the scan. Then I ran chkdsk again and this time it sees it as NTFS, like it's somehow repaired but I don't know how it was repaied. Thanks for all the neat...
  6. Solved A hard drive that is and isn't there.

    Different functions see the drive differently. Disk Management and Device Manager say it's NTFS. Only chkdsk and Windows' property file checker see it as RAW. And as I said I can't copy files to it because the Windows copying program sees it as RAW (doesn't exist). I'd think programs that...
  7. Solved A hard drive that is and isn't there.

    My Dell XPS 8950 computer has a problem with a drive that I don't know how to fix. The drive's properties say it's working fine but when I run a scan anyway it says it can't be scanned. So I tried chkdsk on the drive and it says it's in RAW format and can't be scanned. That explains why I've had...
  8. How desktop works?

    I have about 60 icons on my desktop that I decided to organize so I can find things easier. I got it all set up and all was well for a few days but perhaps it was the last update, I'm not sure, but all the icons got scrambled, just scattered all over the desktop in no particular order. The only...
  9. Why doesn't searching within a folder work

    I find this all the time, but not absolutely every time. I have a folder open with a list of items showing as that folder's contents. At the top of that folder there is a search window. When I type into that search window it never finds any matches even in cases where I'm looking at a match on...
  10. Can't get rid of Photobucket emails.

    I've been using the "delete as spam" all the time and it doesn't seem to learn. But that was from Mailbird. This time I used "report and unsubscribe" in New Outlook. Maybe that will make a difference. Edwin, what is the top link to the "Logitech" picture you show. How is that brought up?
  11. Can't get rid of Photobucket emails.

    I don't know what that is and can't find anything about it on Google.
  12. Can't get rid of Photobucket emails.

    These started showing up in my email about three or four months ago. At first they were about every month then they got more frequent. Now they appear several times a week. The sender is Photobucket, to me. They all say the same thing "do you want to keep your account? Your free account has...
  13. Solved Clicking on bullets not registered

    I found the problem was being in dark mode makes my clicks on some screens invisible. They are really there I just can't see them. I need to go back to normal screens in order to see them.
  14. Solved Clicking on bullets not registered

    Lately I'm finding that when answering questions on a Qualtrics survey that I can't get clicking on the bullet by the answer I want to register. I've removed all of my add-ons and tried the survey on Firefox, Chrome, and Edge with no difference. My click on the bullet is ignored. Any ideas of...
  15. 11/8/24 update killed Dark mode for Desktop

    I finally found a solution in 24H2. In Settings/Accessibility/Contrast Themes/Night Sky, it gave me a completely black background. This update was a biggy. I have to change how music folders look again so I get what I want showing. I didn't keep any of the defaults except for the file name...
