  • Choosing a Best Answer on Yahoo Answers site?

    I am not sure it was Yahoo that used to pick the Best Answers or some other entity, but it is now left up to the person that asks the question. Why is it that very few users that asks a question do not take the time to choose a best answer from those that they receive.? There are many that answer questions on the site that would appreciate someone taking the time and choosing one as the best answer by clicking on AWARD BEST ANSWER at the bottom of that answer....

  • Windows 7 start screen problems.?

    Running Windows 7. Cannot bring up the Windows 7 start screen. Normally you can hover your pointer in the bottom right of the screen to bring up 5 options that come out of the right side of your screen. Unable to do that at this time..

    When it is up you can use your finger and rotate the screen left or right OR use your mouse wheel to move it....

  • Reason for not being able to contact someone on Yahoo Answers?

    I hope everyone sees this that does not allow email contact on this site....

    I have received MANY requests from users asking me to answer a. particular question. To submit this they have to open up allowing contact by Email and then they remove it prior to me replying to their question.. For those ....and any others that presently do not allow contact.....see below

    NOTE: if you are going to be on the Yahoo Answers site I recommend allowing contact by email. By doing this those that answer the questions or those that you have answered questions for are able to contact you to clarify a

    question/answer instead of sometimes guessing. Allowing this to happen does not expose your actual email address as you will receive a message from Yahoo stating you have a message from a User. There should be a white "Y" inside of a purple circle or square if it is from Yahoo. This is how you set it up.

    Click on your Avatar (photo) Then click on the WRENCH ....upper right ....on the next screen. Under PRIVACY SETTINGS place a check mark in the box to the left of "Can contact me via email". Click save. You can click on the small

    icon on the right side of this and it will tell you your email address will remain private. Thanks

  • __AC_CATID:10'dir='ltr'> follows email contact category?

    Just recently when composing an email and entering the first letter of a category the entire list comes up with names/categories starting with that letter....If it is a category the name of that category is followed by

    "__AC_CATID:10'dir='ltr'> (32)".....the number at the end varies with each category because that indicates how many addresses are in that particular category.

    I have completed all the clearing of caches, virus scans, etc....I even deleted the category and started over...same results.

  • Comparing RAM to Disc C:?

    1. Start,My computer, right click on Local Disk (C:), click on properties shows the disc with used and free space available.

    2. Right click on taskbar, then clicking on Task Manager brings up Physical/Kernel memory.

    These are different kind of graphs. Are they showing the same thing, that is how much memory (RAM) you have and how much has been used?

    My Physical memory is TOTAL -514124..AVAILABLE-100000...SYSTEM CACHE-222496.

    Also, what is Kernel memory?
