Question from Rhonda: A few days ago I got a text message from Microsoft saying my computer has a virus and that I need to delete System 32, but I can’t find it on the list of programs to remove.
I texted them back and asked them what I need to do, but I haven’t heard back from them. Can you tell me how to find System 32 so I can delete it?

Question from Dewey: Hi Rick. I have a wiring question that I hope you can help me with.
I want to install a light fixture on my back porch and use two switches to turn it on and off. One switch will be located outside on the porch and the other switch will be on the inside wall next to the door.
My question is how do I wire this up so that either switch will control the light without having to touch the other switch? [Read more…]

Question from Alice: My boss just bought a new multifunction printer to replace the HP Officejet Pro X576dw printer that we’ve been using in the office for years.
The old one is still working well and he asked me if I wanted it. I jumped at the chance!
I really love this printer because I’m very familiar with it and I know how to use all its features (like I said, I’ve been using it for years).
The problem I’m having is we’ve lost the CD the printer software came on so I can’t install the printer driver and other software onto my computer (Dell Inspiron desktop with Windows 10).
Do you know of a place where I might be able to buy a replacement CD for this printer? [Read more…]
Q&A: Why is my Windows 10 laptop acting like it has Windows 8 on it?

Question from Betty: I have an Acer laptop that came with Windows 8 but was later updated to Windows 10.
It works great except for one problem.
This computer always booted to the Desktop after I installed Windows 10 but this morning it booted to what looks very similar to the old Windows 8 “Start Screen”.
My friend came over and used my computer last night and he must have done something to make it start doing this.
I really, really, REALLY want to use my computer with the Desktop instead of a stupid Start Screen. How can I fix it?
