Reload Windows 8.1?
My computer is 1 1/2 years old and has begun to run really really slow. I'm always getting high cpu usage notices while on the internet, videos and games are sketchy and very aggravating to watch. Will reloading windows 8.1 help? Will I lose any data or files because of the reload? Where will I need to go to get 8.1 reloaded. Thanks in advance for your input.
2 AnswersOther - Computers6 years agoWhat to do with these trees?
I have a lot of live and fallen cedar trees (maybe a hundred ranging in diameter of 6" to 36" at the base) that I need to get rid of. I have been burning them but thought I could sell them somewhere. Any ideas out there?

5 AnswersWords & Wordplay7 years agoWhy is my throttle response so slow?
2006 Ford Fusion V6
I must press my throttle at least 1 inch before the engine responds. Even then it acts like it's waiting to be sure that's what I want it to do before the engine responds. If I floor it from a stop, it takes at least 1 second before it engages the throttle.
Fly by wire system.
I've driven other fly by wire throttle cars and don't have this problem.
5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years ago04 Yamaha XLT 1200 Waverunner?
Bought this waverunner from a guy and it will only run 35 mph top end. Dealer said either the carbs needed overhaul or the catalytic converter was bad but didn't know which (either way it was $1200 for the carbs or $1200 for the cat.). It started to clear out a little late last year and run a little faster (47 mph) so I was thinking carburetors. I decided to run some Seafoam through it and hopefully clean the carbs out. I took it out last week and received an alarm indicating "Exhaust". Based on advise from others, I pulled and check the cat and found it had separated and was useless. I replaced the cat with a "D" plate and the appropriate chip required. I took the unit back to the lake and it still will only run around 40 mph. This unit should pop up quick and get to at least 65-70 mph. Anyone have any other suggestions before I opt to take it to the dealer?

I took it out today and received an alarm indicating "Exhaust". May I now assume the catalytic converter is bad?
2 AnswersBoats & Boating1 decade agoI have a 99 dodge 4x4 pickup. The abs light and emergency brake light came on today. Any ideas?
The abs, emergency light and the speedo went out today. The code says vehicle speed sensor. I changed that out, cleared the codes and the speedo still does not work. The abs light and emergency light still illuminated. I've checked all fuses and brake fluid levels. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail replies to reking1@alltel.net
