We've been experiencing a very slow response on Windows Server 2003 specifically when we install/uninstall some programs. It took us more than a couple of hours to uninstall MS office 2007 and another 4 hours to install Office 2010. Can anyone here suggest a solution to this problem? Thank you.

If a Netgear router does not provide any IP address to any of the computers, is it necessary to put a switch in between the router and the PCs? The PCs are connected via LAN and they do get an IP if directly connected to the modem. Is there something I can do on the router ot make it work?

I would like to forward ports to a Netgear FVS336Gv2 but when I tried it, it gave me an error. Is there a way to forward ports to this device with lesser hassle? Is there a configuration that I missed why port forwarding did not work? Your help would be much appreciated.

I have an Atom Venue 11 running on Windows 8.1 and I bought a mobile keyboard to use with it.

Please advise what I should do.

I replaced my Windows OS with the Lubuntu distro. Lubunto does not always boot up completely. When it tries to boot, it only shows a white thick line across the bottom instead of displaying icons for the desktop, the browser etc. at the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know what's happening and how can I correct the problem?

I have been trying to access the website Distrowatch and I get an "unavailable due to account issues' message in every attempt I made. What does it mean? It's as if the website does not exist at all. I tried another browser and it gave me the same message. Is it a problem with my computer?

I hope to clone my 500GB SATA 2 hard drive to a 1TB SATA 3 hard drive. I tried Arconis True Image 2014 but it won’t let me. Is there any cloning software available I can download for free? I want to be able to copy the whole drive and extend the volume. Thanks.

We use Server 2008 RD. We have a group in the Active Directory with several computers in it. The group has access to a single file but none of the computers in the group can actually access it. I created another group using the computer's users and they were able to access the file. All were members of the domain. Did I miss something? We need to work by computer and not by user. I would appreciate any help.
