Hello!

Can you tell me please what do you think the answer to the questions below is?

This one says "a" doctor "would" report. Is this talking about a random doctor or all doctors?

Thanks!

You sure? Usually everything touched by Microsoft is very bloated. Also, in one of the graphs posted, Skype is the worst.

Living Room / Skype conversation window position

« on: July 19, 2017, 01:25 PM »

Hello!

I struggle to find how to display conversations at the right of the camera view in Skype.
Mine is at the right, but my friend's is at the bottom! And I cannot seem to be able to find how to change it.

Any hint?

thanks!

Living Room / Android virus

« on: July 10, 2017, 02:30 PM »

Hello!

I have an android phone that probably has a virus. The symptom is that although I disable screen overlay for all apps (one by one), I still get messages that 'there is a screen overlay'.

Moreover, I tried to install via Google Play the AVG antivirus. The name of the app is not the same as it is in my other android phone, which made me suspicious. Then, I installed and run the AVG antivirus and it resulted that I have 4 viruses and when offered me to click to go to the website, and after clicking I got flooded with  messages that my SIM has been damaged etc.

Then I installed Kaspersky and it cannot run because of the screen overlay issue.

Is there a way to complete clean this phone?

Thanks!

Living Room / Batch downloading

« on: July 09, 2017, 08:06 AM »

Hello!

I want to download a list of urls in the following format:

http://domain.com/mo...e/view.php?id=500691
(with id changing)

How can I download the urls and have the download program to use cookies from my Firefox or maybe enter username/password in the login form when necessary?

Firefox stores cookies in an sqlite file, which makes it tricky, but I can use other browser instead?

Thanks!

General Software Discussion / PDF viewer that reopens files after crash

« on: June 10, 2017, 06:38 PM »

Hello!

Is there a PDF viewer that reopens the files that were opened before crash?
I do that with webpages, with text files, but not with the rest.

Maybe there is a universal solution?

Thanks!

General Software Discussion / Automatic back up to the cloud

« on: June 09, 2017, 09:59 AM »

Hello!

Last time I checked, I couldn't find a reliable service that will monitor specific files and folders and automatically back them up to a reliable cloud when these change (preferably with some versioning).

Is there anything new and ideally free?

thanks!

Living Room / Re: How can I identify a flashing DOS window?

« on: May 30, 2017, 05:27 PM »

So is there a fix, is it a virus?

It could also be wmiprvse.exe and livecomm.exe?

Living Room / Re: How can I identify a flashing DOS window?

« on: May 29, 2017, 04:41 PM »

I think the mysterious DOS flashing window must be one of these:
officebackgroundtaskhandler.exe
ipoint.exe
conhost.exe

I do think that I get this annoying DOS flashing window after I opted to install some MS Office updates.

Any hint?

hello!

I get randomly a flashing DOS window that I can barely see. Is there a way to identify which process does that?

I did scan my laptop with MalwareBytes and it found nothing, but I am worried.

thanks!

General Software Discussion / Can Notepad++ send text to the cloud and read it on my android phone?

« on: May 20, 2017, 05:00 PM »

hello!
Can Notepad++ send text to the cloud and read it on my android phone?
Or maybe another good text editor?
Or any other solution?
I have Google Keep, but unfortunately it doesn't work, text on my phone is not available online and vice versa.
Thanks!

Go to that same view and right click on the tile.  There should be uninstall there, unless it is a program that is installed by default.

the problem is that they don't show up in that view!

Living Room / Looking for programming language

« on: May 03, 2017, 04:45 PM »

Hello!

My criterion to choose a programming language to dwell on is to be well documented and have easy ways to implement things (are they called libraries/interfaces??)

I don't want to have to write tons of code to do a simple thing and reinvent the wheel, I would rather download an extension or something and do it faster/easier.

Which programming language is the best in such terms?

thanks!

« on: April 26, 2017, 05:39 PM »

hello!
When I bought my laptop, I installed some games to test Win8.1 (in pad mode) and I cannot seem to be able to uninstall them!
They are not in Control Panel and I cannot delete their folder! Any idea? That's so annoying!
thanks!
