I bought a new Surface Pro 3 tablet and it seemed to function for quite a while before it began random freezes. I restart it and it functions for a while then freezes again. I have tried all I can but it has not helped. Somebody come to my rescue please.  

My touch screen keeps on freezing and sometimes the cursor just makes random movements. I am running windows 8.1 and my pc memory is okay. Could this be a virus? If it is, how can I restore my factory settings on this device? Is there any other way of solving this without having to install another version of OS? If there is, please share. Thanks.

I am attempting to an application but a box keeps popping up telling me to install Visual C++ Runtime Libraries. I have downloaded vcredist_x64.exe, vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_arm.exe from Microsoft site and as much as they have installed, running vcedist_arm prompts a dialog box that states it is not a valid Win 32 application. Please help on how I can remove the error and install my application.

I have a 32GB flash drive that I want to partition so that I can store sensitive files onto a smaller partition and lock it. is this possible? How would I partition the drive so that I can achieve a smaller partition of 4 GB for my personal files and encrypt this portion only?

I am running windows 7 on an Acer Desktop that is roughly 3 years old. When I try to click on anything, say an image, a pop up appears instructing me to call 844-490-6711, that claims to be windows support since I have a virus. I have an active antivirus and it shows no virus yet the message appears often. What is it and how can I solve it?

I have a WinRAR software that I have tried to extracted a certain zipped file but it tells me its broken, Is there a way I can fix broken files runing WinRAR for windows? Is it possible to extracts certain files in a broken zipped file? How can I achieve this?

Windows 10 looks like a real gem as far as operating systems are concerned, but its new features leave with more questions than answers. First of all, will it be able to run on the older computers? What is the RAM and CPU speed requirements? How much information will Cortana give to windows about my computer usage? When and how will the windows holographic device relate to my computer?

My system time is one hour behind of real world time. I tried to change it on Windows 8.1 by changing settings of date and time but after reboot it changes to one hour behind again. After that I tried to change time zone so I can at least have correct time but system again changed it to one hour behind. Also I tried to change it in BIOS and that haven't worked too. What do I have to do?

I have not been using Windows since its very beginning but rather since XP came out. Machines were much slower 10 years ago comparing to what we have today. I wonder what was the requirement for running windows  95 and what was the best pc at that time?

Apart from changes in interface, I pretty much find windows 10 to be like windows 8. Anyway, I think maybe I have bypassed the complex upgrades made to underlying apps. Is there anyone who can clearly explain to me the major changes that Windows 10 has over windows 8? Which one of them would you recommend and why?
