Mse password reset issues
Been using the site for over 12 years with the same password no problem. Today lt didn't recognise it and I ended up having to do that annoying thing of requesting a reset. Been sent a temp password which is how I'm posting but it's not memorable and presumably not intended for permanent use. But I cannot find where or how…
Mouse cursor stuttering/freezing
My mouse cursor intermittently freezes and stutters on the screen. It's a new Win 10 computer, and I was using an old USB wireless mouse from my last computer (which worked fine). I've since got a new USB wireless mouse, new mouse mat, uninstalled the mouse driver and rebooted to re-install it. It's still stuttering and…

After watching a You-Tube Premium Originals free episode and downloading it my PC to watch later i notice i can't download any of the none free Premium content despite being a YP subscriber /member.

Free Site Map tool sought
I am trying to find a free on-line "Site Map" tool to analyse a website menu structure to give a "family tree" type output (preferably MS Project compatible) I have found several that output an HTML file that is only a list - but I need "position" rather than just existence ! Any suggestions ?

Kobo on Windows 10
Haven't used my kobo Glo e-reader for ages. Fired it up and won't download books. Is it incompatible with 10? Tried to factory reset and when I have entered WiFi password it says there's been a problem, just goes around in a loop. I always found it moody, even when it actually worked. Just wish I bought a Kindle instead.…
Asus X555LA no sound from DVDs etc
No sound when playing DVDs etc, but there is sound from playing vids in YouTube etc. Includes no sound when ripping DVD tracks to digital format using Handbrake. Running Win 8.1 - updated sound drivers from Asus website (still refers to Vista!) - makes no difference. Upgraded to win 10 (went badly) also still didn't work,…
