You're surprised that you can't get free online movies? Don't worry it probably has plenty of zero day exploits built in if it is truly a "free movie" site, since everything they show would be copyrighted and NOT free.

You could also use a Live USB stick, most easy to make with THIS tool to use it to boot and then wipe the drive.

Take a look at [b]THIS how to thread to set up a bootable DBAN USB.

While that old machine will still be fairly slow, $120 is a pretty reasonable price for a working laptop with those specs IMO. However the GT555m may not handle 2016 games very well.

I would recommend that you power off your laptop and then remove the battery. Then use isopropyl alcohol on a clean cotton lint free cloth to wipe the keyboard down well. Allow it to dry completely, then replace the battery and you can power back up.

No unless you uninstalled all programs that used the earlier versions. Per Microsoft: "The libraries are required to run applications that are developed by using the corresponding version of Visual C++."

It could be a driver issue, that is often the problem. Can you boot safe boot? Also, try booting off from either a MEMTEST or install disk. You should not get a BSOD from either. And you might want to post more details like model and OS and any recent changes that you've made if you haven't...

Sorry but password help is not allowed here. And a single thread on a topic is sufficient, no multiple posts.

I would contact a company with some expertise in the specific area of PA systems and adding Bluetooth -- like B&H Photo and Video support. You will need to provide information to them on the model of your PA system to determine if you can do an add on device.

Yes you can do that, as long as you are not using a vacuum tube amplifier with transformer output, which are not very common now. In that situation you can damage the receiver by trying to draw too much power, but solid state systems do not have that problem. You will get a lower SPL (Sound...

While a nice idea, there are not any actual Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, only Bluetooth streamers that work with wireless hearing aids because hearing aid batteries are not sufficient to support full enablement. Of course streamers require that the user have wireless enabled hearing aids...

I agree that remote access symptoms would be incredibly unusual. I would seek a reliable Windows disk image -- directly from Microsoft -- and do a clean installation. If you cannot do that for some reason, then the following can help although if you have a virus/malware there is likely...

I would look on some places like EBay to get an idea on pricing and either sell it there or list it in the Tom's Hardware Classified forum -- but do read the rules of that forum before you post as they require some specific information and photos. Sometimes if you aren't too sure you can price...
