Will be nice if this is made a sticky. Seeing a good thread in ... God knows after how long. Thanks.

I will like to share and learn about how to clear malware and keylogers from the system which normally are missed by anti virus programs. also on retrieving data from errored hard disk

I can share some simple tips on flash, excel.

how can we run direct x 11 games on directx10

I dont want to speculate, games normally have a minimum direct X requirement so the ones recommending Drx11 should run on 10. if your computer is compatible then get the free copy of Dx 11 from Microsoft website

please explain what exactly are your limitations. I will ask some gamer to advise you on that.

how can we run direct x 11 games on directx10

Well, actually you can't. Some games have a fallback option built in. Like they will have a directx10 rendering in case the system is unable to draw using directx11. If your GPU does not support Dx11, you can't do anything.

In some cases you can try the method here - http://www.crashwiki.com/how-to-launch-watch-dogs-directx-10/
This is applicable to other games as well.

First install the Windows SDK though. LInk -Download Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 from Official Microsoft Download Center

sometimes logging into Hotmail/ outlook account is a real pain. the site demands a security code to be sent to a designated email and all that due to a suspicious activity

has any one experienced that? today when I eventually got access to my inbox after logging to another Hotmail account to retrieve the security code I was told that someone in USA had logged into my Hotmail today like 3 times. I changed the password after that but not sure if that fixes the issue

any comments?

i have a specific question. i have a gigabyte ma69vm am2 mobo. right now i have athlon X2 64 running on it. i wanna put sempron 145 into it. it says on cpu upgrade that it is compatible with latest bios upgrade which i did.

my question is, has anyone here tried am3 processor on am2 socket ? did it work ? any processor or mobo combos should do.

remove the primary address..change password into something with characters numbers caps..

change hotmail. it is a security loophole. honestly.

gmail is pretty secure. only the chinese can break it.

Whenever I access my Hotmail Account from a different ISP or Location. This usually happens with me. Apparently, this feature is for account security, but a pain...However, I've never changed my accounts password.

Maybe you accessed Outlook through a proxy or a compressed proxy like Chrome Mobile,Opera.

Google with the Mobile code thing is pretty secure.I did a similar thing with my bank and it's comparable to military grade security setup.

yes I did, but i am confused why outlook decided that the IP was in USA.

I have kept my primary / private email address hotmail but it seems i have to move to google.

I can share some excel functions if someone is interested like vlookup, hlookup, pivots, ifs, goal seek, macros etc.

If you were using Chrome or Opera,the data is compressed at their data centers in the US to speed up rendering on 2G Internet.

oh no, mine is a very small niche within the list provided some logical functions and some financial.
I am left learning VBA at the moment. I did visual basic long time ago so trying to recall that forgotten information to deign better macros
