There is no user manual, as such, that's all handled through the VideoLan Wiki. On an unrelated note, can someone tell me why, when I insert a click-through link, this &^%$ forum software always cuts

Ted, The documentation is awful, but in the end it is a simple "download and copy" to the correct location. Here's an article entitled, How To Play Bluray Disks In VLC that covers it in nauseating det

Gezim, I don't know whether you mean installed (as in a clean install) or upgraded (from Windows 7 or Windows 8) but if the former I believe that WIndows Defender is enabled by default and if the latt

Ryan, What follows is all from recollection, and I don't have either my Windows 7 machine nor JAWS in front of me. I presume you are already using the "Details" view in Windows Explorer to view the fi

There is a problem with the recommendations in the Digital Citizen article, with the possible exception of using the "Hide Icon and Notifications" option for GWX in the system tray. Microsoft keeps re

Elise, You are reading semi-correctly. The actual message in the Message Rules dialog box is: "Note: You can't use rules for IMAP or HTTP email accounts like Windows Live Hotmail." If you are getting

Based upon your post I am presuming you're using Gmail's web interface and not in its "plain HTML" form. When you go to Gmail Settings via the "cog" button and look at the General tab, find "Conversat
