I am having an issue with my monitor and Adobe products in general.  I realize it is probably the software and probably is related to other products as well but some are working and others are not.  The issue is that I have a USB-C port on a new Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook.  I have it extended to a USB hub with 3 USB 2.0 ports.  One port is plugged into a Dell 27 in monitor with resolution of 1920 x 1800, The Dell Ultrabook is set to 3200 x 1800.  The Dell Ultrabook screen looks fine.  The Dell 27 in monitor looks bad with some programs. It looks like it's really displaying at 800 x 600.  The program screen is way too big.  It needs to be sharper and smaller so it looks like the Dell Ultrabook screen.  I have read that there is an issue with Adobe where the program tells the computer it's a size it's not.  Can anyone assist?

I have a program that our organization uses to collect reports and recently the GSM modem has been unable to receive or send SMS messages. All AT+CPIN= codes return ERROR. AT will still return OK. When I configure the modem, it looks like this.
AT+CMGL=4
ERROR
AT
OK
ATE0
OK
AT+CPIN="****"
ERROR
AT+CMGF=0
OK
AT+CNMI=0,0,0,0
OK
AT+CMGL=4
OK
How do I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just upgraded the memory in a Dell Latitude E6410 from 4GB to 8GB.  The process was simple and the machine recognizes the new memory size in the early stages of power on.  But the O/S (Windows 10) eventually returns an error and offers an F2 or F5 option.  After allegedly trying to repair itself, it will not continue.

If I go back to the original memory (4GB) all is fine causing me to surmise that the problem is :
a) the new memory - bought it from a very reputable shop and they selected it for me based on my machine description, or
b) a configuration setting which I cannot find

Any insights would be much appreciated.   I have studied the process through several on line videos and sites.  They all looked simple BUT they all worked.  Thanks.

I'm looking to buy a new laptop. I want it to be light and to use for .Net development. It needs to be light.

On my current laptop, I have:  VS 2013 and VS2015 (community), SQL 2014 and SQL 2016 (developer editions)

1. No Toshiba. I already have one and don't like it. It's not for development.  I got it maybe 4 yrs ago.

2. I have a gaming laptop. It's MSI but it's so heavy and running out of disk space when I installed SQL 2016.

3. At work, we have Dell laptops. Seems like a good laptop but screen is too small. At my previous job, my coworker had Surface but again, the screen was too small. I think 15 inch screen would be good.

4. I know I need SSD and i7 processor
Is this a good one? Any recommendations?

Hello everyone,
I have a few Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and a couple of them run really hot.  It usually happens when starting up for the first time that the Surface Pro 4 will run hot and the fan is running constantly for about 20-30 minutes.  Then it seems to regulate and operate normally.
Should this be happening?  Is it possibly hardware or software driven?
Nothing really shows up in the event logs that stands out.

Hi all I know this isn't so much an technical IT question as such but I have a Honeywell CT50 mobile device that was shipped with a USB charging dock for a PC/Laptop.

I have found over the years that computer USB ports are slower to charge than wall sockets plus they stop charging once the computer is off anyway and these devices can take 6 hours to charge.

Am I right by thinking they will charge faster if I use a USB wall socket plug and what rating plug would get me the optimal charging times?

On the back of the device it says 5V --- 2A.

And I have a USB plug which is 5V --- 1A

Am I best to get an exact match of what the device sticker says or can I get a higher rating?

The hard drive is from an NVR (Network Video Recorder) and the manufacturer indicates that the drive is handled as UBS - Uniview Block Storage.  The drive has been pulled from the NVR and works properly in another (same model) NVR, but I'm looking to access the drive on a desktop computer in order to pull files stored on the drive...  This is a SATA (8TB) drive...

Anyone have any advice on potential ways to mount this device in Linux or other O/S that might allow me to access these files, or other meaningful suggestions?  Thanks in advance.
