    Solved! Using Windows scaling on a 24" 1440p monitor- ideal ppi?

    I'm coming from a 24" 1920x1200 screen, which gave me 94.34 ppi. Just got a 27" 1440 screen, and at 100% scaling, it's. 108.79 ppi. To me, everything looks a bit too small. It's usable, but not the most comfortable. I see I can set a custom scaling in Win10, and was just curious what others...

    Solved! Lenovo Ideapad 330s strange behavior

    I've been getting some strange behavior from this laptop. It seems to randomly have trouble starting up. If it's totally off, I'll press the power button,and sometimes it will boot up normally, but other times, it just flashes the Lenovo splash screen quickly, and then goes black. The other...

    proper setting for Logitech 2.1 speakers in Win 10?

    I have a 2.1 system from Logitech and am wondering about configuring my Realtek soundcard settings in Win10. There is the stereo option, which I guess makes sense, but it doesn't mention 2.1. Also, there is the 5.1 option. I can select that, and uncheck all the other speakers besides...

    Logitech Z623 Subwoofer making no sound?

    I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to reply in case anyone ran into the same problem. I just got the Z623 today, and after hooking it up, I was like, where's the bass?! I was ready to return the system, but then I got it working. In Win10, you need to go to control panel > sound...

    Lenovo Ideapad showing more RAM than installed?

    I think I may have just figured this out while typing, but just double-checking. So my Ideapad 330S came with 8GB from the factory. I wanted to upgrade, but once I opened it up, I saw there was only one slot (with removable RAM). I just got a 16GB Crucial module, and swapped it with what was...

    Solved! Lenovo Ideapad 330s color reproduction

    Just got this laptop, which seems pretty nice, but I noticed the colors seem a bit off. The main thing I see is that reds look orange-ish. I calibrated the screen with an i1 Display Pro, but the issue is still there. Is this screen just not that high quality, and maybe it has trouble...

    Can't get Win Defender to run (error 577)

    Guys, never mind. It figures as soon as I post this, I'd solve it. I was looking at the registry keys under localmachine\software\microsoft\defender, but I just discovered there was a key under 'policies' to disable antispyware. Doh! Anyway, think I'm all good now.

    Can't get Win Defender to run (error 577)

    I'm running Windows 10 Home and have tried various AV products over the years. I wasn't too thrilled with most of them, so I figured I'd go back to plain, old Defender. Well, now I can't get it to run. I've uninstalled all other AV programs, and even used each companies removal tool. I...
