Establishing Secure Connection, time-out errors, or Failed – network error in Google Chrome? – If you encounter any of these problems in Google Chrome, follow these instructions to solve the problem.

Problems occur regularly after software updates, including Google Chrome. The problems you encounter range from a delay error to a website with https (a secure connection) that blocks the establishing a secure connection in Google Chrome when loading a web page.

If you have been using Windows 10 for some time, you may notice that some notification icons come from programs and applications that are no longer installed on your computer system.

In the Customize dialog box, you can choose whether the icons appear in the operating system notification area and whether they are hidden by default (so you must click on the top icon to see them).

Neither the software nor the Windows operating system automatically removes system notification icons when a program is uninstalled. read more

Lexmark printer drivers and software have long been known to be painful if you no longer want to use the printer and want to use something else for your printing tasks. For most other printing programs, this is not a problem, just go to Add/Remove and uninstall. Unfortunately, some Lexmark software does not move completely away from Windows and leaves some data in the spooler service. This may mean that you get a spooler 1075 service error similar to the one below, or an error 1068 when you try to use the printer and replacement software. read more

When you navigate to a shared folder on a Windows computer on a network, you might need permissions to access it. A dialog box appears in which you can request a user name and password. If you enter a working folder, you can change it the next time you try to open that folder. In the Windows GUI, there are no options to change the identification information of a network share.

To edit a user connected to a network folder, you must use the net use command. The first thing you need to do is to disconnect from the share, which happens with the following command: read more

Equalizer APO does not work? A common mistake you make is to forget to activate your reading device in EQ APO. The screensho shows that the AMD HDMI output is enabled, it is my favorite interface to send audio to the Surround Sound Processor. By activating it in this menu, we can be sure that the filters we have defined will be applied if our interface is supported.

What is Equalizer APO?

Equalizer APO is a parametric / graphic equalizer for Windows. It is implemented as an audio processing object (APO) for the system effects infrastructure introduced with Windows Vista. Features: – almost unlimited number of filters – works on any number of channels – very low latency, making it suitable for interactive applications – low CPU usage – modular graphical user interface: – Windows Vista or higher (currently only Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 have been tested) – Sound card drivers must support APO (this also applies to most embedded audio drivers) – The application must not bypass the system effects infrastructure (APIs such as the exclusive ASIO or WASAPI mode cannot be used) Equalizer APO is best used in conjunction with Room EQ Wizard. read more

Several users have contacted us with questions after finding that taskhostex.exe consumes a lot of system resources or behaves inconsistently. Other users will see a boot error associated with this executable, wondering if it is a legitimate Windows component or a potential security risk. The executable taskhostex.exe is available on Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

What does Taskhost.exe do?

Windows uses taskhost.exe as the host for all DLL-based services. The process is very similar to svchost.exe (discussed above) because it is a generic method that can load other entities. For this reason, taskhost.exe can open several instances of itself to handle DLLs that are not necessarily linked. read more

Runtime errors are Windows errors that occur during runtime. The runtime is quite explicit; this means that these EXE errors are triggered when you try to load GamePanel.exe either at Windows startup or, in some cases, when it is already launched. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE errors that occur when you use Windows.

In most cases, GamePanel.exe execution errors that occur during program execution cause it to be terminated prematurely. Most of these GamePanel.exe error messages mean that Windows could not find this file at startup or that the file is corrupted, resulting in an interrupted startup. In general, Windows cannot be started without fixing these errors. read more

Google Chrome is very often updated. You may not have noticed this because Google automatically updates and installs the latest stable version of Chrome. Even Firefox tries to play the catch-up game, but I still don’t think they’ll ever catch up if Chrome is already in version 16 and Firefox only in v9…. Anyway, have you ever wondered what will happen if Google Chrome is updated? Will the new version replace the old one? Or will the old version be automatically uninstalled? The answer is that the previous version of Google Chrome will be kept and not deleted. If you check the folder where Google Chrome is installed, you will notice that there are 2 folders with different version numbers and two executable chrome files (chrome.exe and old_chrome.exe). read more
