To quote the late American comedian Gilda Radner from one of her Saturday Night Live characters years ago: "Never mind!" After further hair-pulling and using several choice words, I realized that over the previous weekend my ESET Internet Security program had asked me, in general, if I wan...

Hi - You were able to rescue me a few years ago and I hope you can now. First of all, I use a PS3 (much more reliable than the PS4 for streaming media files, IMHO) and it is hard-wired to my computer network. An older version of UMS was working just fine until this week, when it refused to find my c...
