  • MSI laptop manufacturer's website help?

    I accidentally uninstalled an ELAN program that I believe enables gestures for my laptop touchpad on Windows 8. I would like to reinstall this, however, when I go to the ELAN website it says to download the driver from the manufacturer's website.

    I've gone to the MSI website but I cannot find anywhere do download this driver. Is there any way anyone can help me?

    I don't mind installing other programs/drivers that will enable simple touchpad gestures such as scrolling and zooming. I've tried downloading Synaptics but it doesn't seem to work. What should I do?

  • Where can I download 'raw' light novels (Durarara!)?

    I've enjoyed reading many Japanese light novels translated to English, such as Durarara and Fate/zero; however, I wish to continue reading Durarara but the English translations are just too slow.

  • Can you recommend me a fantasy book...?

    Sci-fi can be included. Give me all the fantasy books you know that DO NOT involve:

    1. Female main protagonist

    2. A huge dab of romance/love

    3. Modern setting (Unless its worth it)

    4. Main character was born "special", like being a "chosen one" or having to fulfill a certain "destiny"

    5. Clear main antagonist (by this I mean that the bad guy is mysterious. I like books where there is no specific bad guy they are fighting against). Clear cuts between "evil" and "good" and "justice". (yuck)

    6. plot is based on "saving the world" (instead, I like plots on the adventures of the main protagonist as he learns things and overcomes trials. Kind of like an Epic, I guess.)

    7. Based on teenagers. :p I want adult fantasy, not young adult.

    8. Detectives, mysterious people working against you because you're special. Some super evil organization/plan that you are unaware of but "happened" to get tangled in and so the entire book is about unraveling the mysteries of it. I want adventures, not mysteries. Mysteries are nice, as long as there is something else in the plot too that isn't just romance.

    Note: Unless it's really good, I want to keep away from vampires/werewolves/zombies and whatnot.

    The things I have listed above is what I DO NOT want in a book.

    Books I've Enjoyed:

    -Ender's Game

    -Lies of Locke Lamora

    -Name of the Wind

    -Day of the Triffids

    Books I'm going to read...

    1. First Law

    2. Eye of the World

  • Want to help out Scanlations, but I don't know how...?

    I've been reading a lot of mangas lately and I always see people looking for recruits.

    I'm a complete noob in this area, but I want to help out in any way, and I realize that the jobs available is not easy so I'll have to learn first. Problem is, I don't know where to find help.

    I can't translate, so I was hoping to do some simpler jobs like cleaning and typesetting, although I have absolutely no experience whatsoever. Can anyone recommend some site where I can find instructions, practice and learn? I don't even know what programs I have to download, but I hope to learn so I can help out. I am actually okay with any job whatsoever, whichever is lacking and preferably simpler.

    Any advice? Anything will do, really. I don't even know where to begin.

  • What program should I install to video record my computer screen?

    I know there are many programs for this. Sometimes I want to take a video of what I am doing on screen, such as a powerpoint, to put into a video. Sometimes I want to take a record of what I am doing in game or just to show how to use Microsoft Word to my mom.

    I know there are many programs that allow you to do this, but I do not know which ones are better or more reliable to download. Any recommendations? Can you also send me the link to the download?

  • Recommend me some fantasy books please...?

    No, I do not want any of the popular teen books, I want books with more realism and substance that doesn't go for your standard cliche star-crossed romance.

    I am mostly into these genres:

    1. Fantasy, Magical - I like a bit of magic in it and magical creatures are welcome. However, I want the magic to be not your average oh-here's-a-vampire ones but with actual thought put into it. As for magical creatures, I prefer to avoid things like werewolves and vampires being the MAIN issue of the story as I have read too many of those in the recent vampire-werewolf-zombie fever.

    2. Sci-Fi - I always welcome a bit of scifi, so long as it is well thought out and a rather interesting one. Although, personally I am not a fan of machinery so I would prefer if it didn't dwell too much on its mechanics and all that.

    3. Dystopia/Apocalypse - I always enjoy the different ideas people have toward the future. These books always interest me as there is clearly deep insight into human nature.

    I would like to note that I dislike almost all books that revolve around a female main protagonist and I detest almost all romance, especially the romance of youth. Unless they are works of genius, of course. I also appreciate books that are themed in a medieval era and books with good writing style.

    Here are some of the books I've read:

    1. Dune (not bad, a bit too techy)

    2. Way of the Shadows (not bad plot, terrible execution)

    3. Name of the Wind (Favorite)

    4. Ender's Game (Love)

    5. Brave New World (Pretty good)

    6. Oryx and Crake (not bad)

    7. Game of Thrones (Alright, I dislike the character switching style)

    I don't want to be bombarded with a huge list of books, as I obviously cannot purchase them all and read them all, especially if they are filled with long series. Therefore, please give me at most your top three recommended books! Thank you!

  • How to make brownie cookies from scratch?

    I've looked at several sites, but all of them only talk about making brownie cookies from brownie mixes. I want to make these from scratch.

    I know that if I use the regular brownie recipe, the mix would be too runny to bake into cookies. I think I am supposed to add egg or butter, but I'm not sure which. Also, I don't know the ratios with which to add them if I am making the entire brownie cookie from scratch. Can anyone advise me on this?

  • How to make certain songs louder on Windows Media Player?

    Sometimes when I download songs, they volumes of the songs are different. One song is louder than the other while one is extremely soft. Is there any way to adjust the song's volume so I can make them play at similar volume levels? This is for Windows Media Player.

    If there is no way to do this on Windows Media Player, is there any other way to make the volumes similar? Perhaps with a different program?

  • Looking for a cheap useful cellphone?

    I won't ask much from it as long as it is easy to use, works quickly and has a long battery life. Any other benefits and good features would be preferred, of course. The price range should be around 100-150 dollars.

    Right now I'm looking at the Nokia Asha 309, Samsung Galaxy Y and Samsung Pocket. I can't decide which one is better, so can you give me your opinions and advice? Like to pros and cons of each cellphone.

    If you have any other cellphones that you think would be more suitable than those listed above, then can you please tell me and give me some details (+ves and -ves) about it?

    Please criticize these cellphones thoroughly and mercilessly. I want to buy the best cellphone possible within the price range.

  • Durarara Light Novel Question...?

    Since volumes 7 and 8 have not been fully uploaded, I was hoping if someone could give me a summary of what happens. I don't know why volume 9 is completed but not volume 7 or 8. I am simply wondering if I should continue to read volume 9 after volume 6 or if I should wait for volumes 7 and 8 to come out first. Do the stories in volumes 7 and 8 affect the plot of volume 9?

    Plus if anyone knows where I can read volumes 7 and 8, it would be much appreciated if you could give me the sites. (other than annifiesta)

  • Methods of training arm muscles without using weights?

    I know the most obvious one is doing push-ups. However, I have a problem with this because I find it too difficult to do any reps and circuits with. After I do a round of 20, I can barely do 10 the next round, so I don't feel that this is very effective at all.

    Are there any easier and convenient way to train your arm muscles, because I do not own and am unable to get access to weights (no, I do not want to improvise my own weights with everyday objects).

    I have also heard of 'tricep dips', but I find this rather difficult as it requires something like a bench (or similar height), but I have nothing like this at my house. Any suggestions?

  • How to cure my dog's stink?

    My dog has this stink about him, and I don't think it is normal. Whenever he enters any room, you'd know he's there because you'd smell him once you entered the room, and my parents have been concerned (annoyed) by this.

    He's a beagle with sensitive skin and often itches even though we don't see why he is itching. There are no bugs on him or anything and no skin problems obvious to the eye.

    Since I live in a hot country, we give him a bath every other day so long as it's sunny. Therefore, I don't see why he still stinks so much. He sleeps indoors and is outdoors most of the morning and afternoon, but only ever in our front garden and backyard. He doesn't roll around in the mud or anything, so I don't understand why he stinks so. I don't think it's because of playing outside.

    Furthermore, I have 2 other labradors who sleep outside. They take a bath less often than this beagle and yet they have no stink at all. Why does my beagle stink so? How do I cure him of this?

  • Is Bourne Legacy a continuation of the 'Bourne' film series?

    I know this is the fourth film to be produced. Is Bourne Legacy connected to the previous three? What I'm really asking here is whether watching Bourne Legacy without watching the other previous films affect my understanding and experience of the film in a negative way.

    Because I plan on watching the movie, but I don't think it would be worth it if the entire movie just didn't make much sense because of my lack of understanding of previous events.

  • For a computer with dual graphics cards, how do you switch?

    I have a Windows 7 with a dual graphics card, but I have no idea how to switch between the two. I want to play games but the automatic graphics card I use is the one that saves power because it is integrated to the motherboard, however this graphics card is crappy and I want to switch to the better one.

    How do you switch them? Sometimes, when I first turn on my laptop, at the bottom right there is a blue square icon, and when I click on it a pop up window shows up which allows me to switch graphics cards. However, most of the time it disappears and I do not know how to return to that pop-up window.

    Thus I am unable to switch graphics cards whenever I please. Do you know any way to find that pop-up window or how to get there? Any help would be appreciated. I want to play my games but my current graphics card doesn't even scratch the minimum standard required for graphics.
