Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:51:31 +0000

Why can I not install Talkatone on my Samsung Galaxy Ace running Android 2.3.6?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:49:09 +0000

I wanted to ask your help in downloading the Talkatone app on my Samsung Galaxy Ace.

I’ve checked online and it says that the app is compatible with Android versions of 2.2 and up. My phone is 2.3.6 and when I go to the Google App Store to download it, a message appears on my screen saying that “This device is not compatible with this version.”

Technically, it should be. So, why won’t my phone allow the download?

Are websites crashing or freezing due to a Flash issue and how can I fix it?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:45:12 +0000

No matter what browser I use, I have problems with Flash, at least that is what I am being told to update all the time. I have even tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe Flash, but I still have the same problem. I keep switching browsers to whatever works, but it is happening on them all.

My Laptop is reasonably new and I regularly run cleaners and virus checkers, etc. and try to keep everything updated.

Also, when I do open a link, I always have to open it twice because the first time it is always an ad. I have run everything I can think of to get rid of malware, etc, but it is still happening. Once I open the link a second time I get the page I want, but the first is always an ad.

Why can I not open some 1MB+ image files recovered with Recuva?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:38:31 +0000

I recovered some images from an SD card using Recuva (pretty cool). All the files are image files and some of the the files recovered are in excess of 1MB.

When I open them (MS Picture Manager and Photoshop) all I get is the small square with an X and a message along the lines of the image is not coded properly (or some such).

Any ideas on how I can get these files to show the image they represent?

Can the Jawbone UP bracelet be worn while swimming?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:36:21 +0000

Reference your Fitbit Flex vs Jawbone UP comparative review. Your review does not mention swimming. Swimming is a major daily activity for me. If the Jawbone UP cannot be worn in the water, then it is useless to me.

What is the name of this text-based game from the 80s?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 04:04:01 +0000

You were a detective walking through a house, a murder had been committed. Everything you did was performed by typing in text, for example: “open suitcase”. There was a mysterious figure that always killed you randomly before you could solve anything. You could try and do things to the computer and what ever you type in it seemed to have a response but nothing worked.

“Kick figure” answer was “feet won’t work here”; “bite figure” answer would come back “teeth don’t work here”. If you said “kill figure” I think it answered “your gun has no bullets” and if you got mad and said “f*** figure”, the screen would change to “You have entered the corridors of filth mouth” and you couldn’t leave until you said “sorry”.

So… what game is this?
