Not being able to print the webpage I am on.












Have you ever been on a webpage and wanted to print out the information but unfortunately there is no print button... What a pain! Well, here are some tips that will make printing a breeze!


  • You can hold down the Crtl button and then press the P (p is for print after all) button. 
This is what it looks like after you hit that combination of keys in Chrome.














































This is where you choose the way you want to print that page. You can pick your printer, choose how many pages of the site you want to print, print it in either color or black and white, choose if you want the Background colors and images get printer or not. The possibilities are limitless!
  • Click the Print button to print your page(s)
It's as easy as that!

Have a great day and be safe!

Help is on the way!

Have you ever look at your computer and wondered WTH (what the heck)? We all have had those days when our beloved computer started acting like a two year old that did not want to cooperate... At all... And all you wanted to do is just go to your favorite website and play a game or post to Twitter or Facebook? Well, this is your lucky day. You have the opportunity to vent, question and look around here for the help that you need. 
Here are a couple quick tip about your browser:
Have you ever opened up the browser and try to connect to a website; but it is running so slow you think you could run around your house, come back and it's still not loaded? Well, I think you might need to clean the temporary files in your browser.


  • First open up disk cleaner (this is a program that comes with Windows no matter what version you own it is there for you.)
  • Second you might have to choose the drive you want to clean, choose the C: drive this is the main drive on your computer.
  • Third under files to delete make sure you have a check mark next to all of the boxes. (make sure you scroll down and get every one of them) But make sure Temporary Internet Files and Offline webpages are selected.
  • Fourth click the okay button at the bottom right hand side of the box.
  • Fifth it will ask you are you sure you want to permanently delete these files? The answer is yes, we do. So click the delete files button. It will take some time to delete them, it depends how many temporary files need deleting. 
Now you are free of the files that make it hard for your system to run.

Next you can check the settings in your browser so go ahead and open up your browser.

In the Chrome browser you need to click the three lines next to the star (favorites) button in the upper right hand corner.








This is what it looks like, although yours may not be pink, don't worry it will still work.

  1. Then click on the settings option.
  2. On the left hand side click on history.
  3. To delete your browsing history click the Clear browsing data button.
    1. Only do this if you have bookmarked the webpages you want to remember. If you don't you will lose that data forever.
  4. When you click the Clear browsing data button it has options like this.





You can check the options that you would like to clear.
I recommend that you check the ones I have checked on the left. Again this may take a while to delete.



I hope these help you on your way to surfing the internet with speed and stealth.

Have a great day and be safe!
