I have a Toshiba laptop (about 3 years old) running Windows 7 that drops the wireless connection quite frequently. Is this a sign that the wireless card may be on its last leg? What else could I look at? I've got a total of about a dozen computers/laptops/tablet and smartphones in total and this...

I may be switching internet service providers in the near future. What is the best way to keep all of the e-mails I don't want to lose? Do I overlap the ISP services and e-mail all the messages I want to keep, from my existing service to my new e-mail address? Can I backup Outlook 2007 somehow...

How does one go about backing up all of the folders and e-mails in microsoft outlook in order to restore them after microsoft outlook is reinstalled, say after an operating system upgrade or hard drive crash?

Most, if not all of us here at BITOG would agree that exsessive idling is detremental to an engine oil's life. I think it's also safe to say that we've seen and know that highway driving or conditions where the engine RPM is more "constant" is more favourable to and leads to longer oil life...

I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber with 100,000 Kms on it now and want to change the transmission fluid in it. It has one of these "Constant Variable Transmissions" in it. The only fluid that meets the Mopar CVTF+4 spec is naturally available at your freindly Dodge dealer for a mere $36.00 a liter...

Some history: I put on about 45-50,000 KMs a year with roughly 65-70% highway and the rest city driving. Some idling every day (waiting in line at Customs to go to work) and some very sort trips (1-2 miles) about twice a week. This is the my second oil change interval using the XL series 5W-20...

Does Royal Purple, Red Line or Mobil1 make a synthetic constant variable transmission fluid that meets Chrysler's CVT+4 spec? Or better yet, is this something new that Amsoil will introduce shortly? I like to change the tranny fluid in my vehicles when I get to 50-60,000 Kms and I don't want...

First off, a little bit of history. This car was purchased new and the factory fill was drained and changed at 1,500 KMs (940 miles). It was then filled with Pennzoil petrolium 5W-20 and a Mopar oil filter was used. The Pennzoil and Mopar products combination were used up until 15,000 KMs. They...

As I have posted before, I have an 04 Dodge 4X4 QC with the Hemi engine. I have taken 3 reference oil samples using Penzoil dino oil 5W-30 with short drains prior to switching to synthetics. Those 3 samples have indicated a slight fuel dilution issue. Two of the first three samples came back...

I have a new John Deere X Series 595 Lawn and Garden tractor. It is about a year old now and has 100 hrs. on it. This has the 24 HP 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel engine. It may be a little bit late now, but I was just wondering if there was any relationship between engine temperature and a proper...

Since most of the popular "over the counter" synthetics are theretically formulated with GroupIII (highly refined petrolium) base stocks, does this mean that these oils contain waxes? Or are they wax free like the "true" GroupIV and V synthetics?

I'm thinking of updating my computer operating system from Windows98 to WindowsXP soon. When I do so, will I have to re-register to this board or will I just have to log-in as I do today? Have any of you updated to XP and been disapointed? Or is it like most have told me, more robust, stable...
