Over a month ago I ended up having to get a new Lenovo desktop computer and I've had to work through learning and using Win 10. I don't know when this happened, but a few days ago someone sent me an email with a video attachment and I couldn't open it. Then I got an email with a .doc attachment and couldn't open it. .docx won't open, either. Can't open .jpg or .jpeg attachments, but I can open .pdf files if they are attached. I have Word 2016 so there is a program to open the .doc and .docx in. I have Windows Media so that should open the .jpg and .jpeg files, but they won't open. I'm running Firefox as a browser. I've looked on line to see if I could find a resolution to this problem, but the explanations involved messing around with anti-virus programs and THAT I do not want to get into. I don't know whether this is an AOL problem or what. Any ideas out there?

There will never be another Elvis. The music of today's generations just keeps devolving into irritating ear noise.

Algebra made me cry, too. My end of year mark was X. Very rare to get an X. Essentially what it meant was, "Listen, Stupid, we are giving you credit for this class because we know that repeating it next year will only bear the same results." In my 80 years I've never come close to needing algebra and I'm a very creative person, so, I don't think I missed much.

On my old computer I had a program that I could download audio from youtube and it would automatically go to Windows Media where I could then make CDs for my car radio. For the life of me I cannot remember the exact name of the program that I could do this with. I know there are a ton of programs out there that you can download audio or video from youtube, but this one would send the downloads to Windows Media and I don't know if the others are capable of that. Any suggestions?

Just to up date you. I bought a $23 WiFi dongle from Amazon, disconnected the ethernet, plugged in the dongle and driver and it was off to the races! It now loads the internet webpages instantly, no more dead hyperlinks or buffering on youtube. Hard to believe that the direct ethernet hookup did not work as well as the Wifi as usually a direct hookup is faster and more reliable. Weird, just plain weird. I did lose my sound when I hooked up my second monitor, but found the fix for that in Settings. Apparently the sound needed a driver update. I can only guess that the Wifi extender that Verizon hooked up to my old computer has something wrong with it, but I wouldn't have known as the old computer had WiFi. Glad it didn't cost me anything or I'd really be ticked. Thank you all for your interest and help.

I'm originally from the Boston area and in all my life I NEVER heard anyone else who spoke with whatever the Kennedy family's unique accent is/was. Purely an affectation from what I could deduce.

I am going to do that as the old desktop had wifi AND it was plugged into the ethernet wifi extender. It was very fast. I've speed tested this new Lenovo and it does well, however, it just doesn't seem to want to open hyperlinks consistently, nor webpages that I've never had a problem with in any other computer. If, when I get to testing my old laptop against this new desktop to see if the laptop loads quickly on hyperlinks and webpages, then I can only assume that the problem is within the Operating System and not with the internet provider.

Oh, please, don't tell me that. I am in the process of updating my laptop Lenovo Win 10, that hadn't been online in a couple of years and Microsoft is telling me that my version of Win 10 has reached its end of service and they no longer have updates for it!!!!! I wanted to get the laptop up and running to see if I was getting the same hyperlink and webpage loading problems I've been getting with the new Lenovo destop, but I haven't wanted to do anything until I have all my updates and a new version of Norton installed. Windows 7 had so much more and more user friendly than Win 10. I was always under the impression that each new version of something was supposed to mean it was improvements and not giving us paying more for less. Too bad another OS didn't come out that would give Microsoft and Apple a run for their money.

To everyone:
Well, I bit the bullet and called Verizon. It seems this computer does NOT have WiFi! Apparently that is why I could find my Verizon Network name. When I set it up I just hooked up the ethernet cable that was on the old computer, that was WiFi capable as I'd used it for years without hooking it up to the router, but with the newest Verizon 'update' they boosted the Wifi router from the utility room with the Verizon extender which they plugged into my computer. Anyway, once that was established and that I wasn't running on someone else's internet service, it still didn't explain why hyperlinks wouldn't work, webpages wouldn't open or they'd half open and then I'd have to hit refresh and if I was lucky they'd open all the way. Some websites wouldn't load because they said I wasn't internet connected when the Internet Icon told me I was. While they were still trying to resolve those problems, the call was disconnected and I haven't heard back since. I was told that Xfinity wants you to either buy or rent their own routers. Does anyone with Xfinity know if they specify their own brand of router? I'd hate to buy another one after paying around $300 for the Verizon router. Life was so much simpler before computers. If you wanted to know something you hauled your hinny to the library and exercised your brain finding out where to look. Thank you all for being so patient in trying to walk me through this mess.

No, I don't have anything that looks like the picture you have of your wife's network. Mine is black background with a box for Airplane Mode that is greyed out and it says Network and under that it says Connected. I've tried left clicking on that to try and bring up something else and..........nothing.

I have a link that says: Network Troubleshooter which I've run enumerable times and it keeps telling me there is no problem.

There is that VERY expensive Verizon router in my utility room that is 'suppose to' send the signal and the Verizon guy who set it up told me that the extender he installed by the computer would make the signal stronger. I'm so fed up with Verizon. Every time they tell me they are improving something, it ends up going in reverse. They told me a few years ago that for $99 they could make my computer speed faster, so I said, OK. Well, they took my $79 router that was working fine that I had hooked up to my computer, and put it in the utility room with the rest of their equipment and not only did my computer speed drop, but it also interfered with the downloads on my TV DVR. I would get pixelation and loose audio on my downloads after they 'upgraded' me. Unfortunately, where I live we only have two choices in bundle providers, Verizon or Xfinity. They don't allow satellites or any other providers.

No blue button, unfortunately. Thanks, anyway.

There is a very expensive Verizon wireless router in another part of the condo that is hooked up to all of Verizon's other electronics, however, the Verizon guy hooked up another item to my old computer that looks like the router, but is called a wi-fi extender, & it now plugs into the back of the new computer. When I unplugged it, as suggested by Alvin3232, I lost the internet altogether and my own network name did not show up. Nothing showed up. Previous to Verizon 'upgrading' my system with new TV receivers a few months ago, I'd had a cheap router that was sending internet signals from another room with no problem and it didn't need an extender. The upgrade actually turned out to be a downgrade as the 'new' receivers don't do half of what the old ones did. (Xfinity is looking better and better.;-) I did as you suggested & clicked on the internet symbol in the taskbar, but the only thing it would bring up is the name: INTERNET, and it appears on further sleuthing to be a Public network category. I used to be able to bring up all the internet connections from the other folks in the building, but try as I might I cannot do that with this new computer. My own named network was on that list, but the list is not showing up anywhere. There is no selection for Wi-fi Settings, only Ethernet and that does not give a choice of showing available networks. I've tried several times to Re-set the Network, restarted my computer and it still didn't help. Windows 10 is just not giving me the choices to find the list of networks in this area. I've gone so far as to turn off the power, unplug all of Verizon's equipment in the utility room & leave everything off for 5 minutes to see if a reset was possible, but that didn't help, either.

Recently my faithful 10 yr. old Lenovo crashed & I had to set up a new Win 10. Worst computer experience I've had since I bought my first computer in 1994. Win 10 is no where near as user friendly as Win 7, that said I'm having problems with it on the internet. It doesn't respond well to connecting when hyperlinks are clicked on, loads as slow as if I was on a phone modem (remember those days?), and it suddenly dawned on me that it connected with the internet without my input of the Verizon password and ID needed?????? With my previous computer running Win 7, connections were lightening fast. I've tried using the Edge browser instead of the Firefox that I've used forever, and it doesn't make any difference. I'm wondering if this computer connected itself to someone else's internet service as I live in a building with 7 other units. How can I get it to connect to my own Verizon service. I've checked the internet window under Settings and can't find anywhere that allows you to sign in to an internet service. Any other computer that I've used here won't connect without the ID and password. Any of you out there have the solution? I'd call Verizon, HOWEVER, dealing with that company is an exercise in frustration as their automated phone service just sends you in circles.
