It mysteriously fixed itself. She took it to a different area of Phoenix ( Sun City ) when she went to take care of her mother and she called this morning and said it had fixed itself!! Still using the same ISP ( Cox ) but on different circuits and probably a different server since she is 70...

======= Must be something about the firmware on the SP since it doesn't happen on our other computers.

======== But why doesn't it do that to my desktop or Windows Phone which are all operating on the same Wi-Fi network and ISP connection? Nor does it do it to an Android tablet which is also connected to the same network. Only on the Surface Pro.

We noticed the other day that the time on our Surface Pro 1 is off by an hour. The time zone is correct Arizona Daylight savings time not used. This has only come about fairly recently or we didn't notice it before. How can this happen? The time gets set automagically by the internet. We...

My monitor is already running on HDMI and I just switch the cable from being connected to the video card in the tower and connect it to the Display port to HDMI adapter. When I google my adapters number it pops right up and it is supposed to be Display Port to HDMI adapter but I can't get it to...

=========== On the back of mine there is some faint grey writing. I looked at it under an illuminated magnifier just now and it says it is a Microsoft Model 1553 and then some electrical characteristics.

I have the same problem. I have the ORIGINAL Surface Pro running Windows 10 now but it doesn't work any better under Windows 10 than it did until Windows 8. I had one of those Amazon wireless adapters ( the first ones the came out with ) and it worked but there was like a 2 second delay. I...

=========== Hmmm, so I could connect the DLP port on the SP1 to the DLP port on the Display Port gadget and then plug an HDMI cable in to feed a monitor that doesn't have DLP. But could also plug in external drives to the other ports on the Display Port and thus she would be in business with a...

===== Thanks a lot. I had seen an article and the picture showed what this article calls a " Display Box " and you plug your Windows Phone into it and external drives. That's why I got confused. I had seen the pic with a device and presumed that was " Continuum ". Don't think I read the...

What the heck is Continuum? I thought it was a hardware device you connected your tablet to. But now I see a Continuum app in the Store that talks about having your favorite tv show always at your fingertips!!! My SP1 is still running W8.1 but I think I will put the Insider W10 on it. My...

======== Maybe the tablet version of W10... but I'm using it on this desktop with no problems at all. I haven't put it on my Surface Pro 1 yet and will try to wait until well after all versions of W10 are released to the public and an update or three is out. But I have W10 on my phone as well...

The new power supply arrived and IT WORKS. Plugged it in and the blue light came on. Surface Pro charged up and ran this morning. Now I'm hoping there isn't something wrong with the Surface Pro that killed the power supply. When I bought the Surface Pro I bought two power supplies so I would...

Has anyone had the battery in their Surface Pro 1 replaced? How much did it cost and how long did it take?

======== The battery is dead and the Surface Pro will not start. My owner took it to her mothers house for a couple of days and used it till the battery drained down and it shut off --- without having it on the charger, of course. Now it won't charge. Blue light does not come on when the...

My Surface Pro tablet isn't charging. The blue light on the power plug is not coming on, but I measure 24 volts on a couple of the points on it. I have ordered a new one in case it is just the power supply but I suspect it is the actual tablet that may be bad. How do you get a Surface Pro...

For some unknown reason, the background color on my SP1 Start Scree ( Metro screen ) whatever the hell they call it with all the tiles ... has turned to an ugly yellow / orange color. I don't know what I did to cause it. I've gone to the desktop and poked around in Display and Personalize and...

Giver Brother a try. Works better than the Canon did and you get REAL support instead of a sales message trying to sell you a new one. PS I have no financial interest in Brother ( sadly ). ========

Canon's answer when asked about drivers for new OS is usually ' buy our new model '. That was their answer when Windows 7 came out and they wouldn't make drivers for the Canon multi-function laser printer I had. They just want to force you to buy another printer. Well it worked. I bought a...

Oh, I think One Note is quite popular ... Evernote not so much.

I never heard of Google Keep. :)
