Hi all,
First time here. I've been reading through lots of issues and resolutions of failed boots.
I think I have a slightly unusual problem because some items aren't working.:(
I've disconnected all other drives and just have the primary Win7 (ultimate 64bit) drive and DVD drive connected.
The main bootable drive is a GPT drive (3TB and boots).
Issues started when I did a normal...

Solved want to change back to single user login
I used to have just one login popup at login time, and all I had to do was enter the password. This was for a user account with administrator privileges. I somehow (forgot how) managed to add Administrator account to the login screen, so now I have to click on the user account I want before typing in the password. Now I want to change this back to the single-user login, because I don't use the...

The Return of the BSoD for No Apparent Reason
I posted last week about my PC starting to BS0D shortly after start up. I waited a couple days to see if someone had time to help, but then I decided to rebuild the machine. The BSoDs did not return after the rebuild, so I closed the original thread. Now, 2 days after I rebuilt it, it has started BSoDing again.
1) The BSoD takes place roughly about 5 minutes after a full boot.
2) The PC does...

Exif (metadata) viewer/reader
Hello!
Basically what I'm looking for is (preferably free) software (standalone) that does what this site does:
Jeffrey Friedl's Exif (Image Metadata) Viewer (http://regex.info/exif.cgi)
So, reading through a vast array of file extensions and displaying detailed metadata of the files. I'd love the program to have a batch ability so that I could search a whole folder or a drive for all the...

Need Help Finding The Source Of A System Hotkey
I would like to create a Hotkey for Control+Alt+F12 in a program I am using. But, whenever I press this combination it opens the Windows Lockscreen. It doesn't matter if I am in another program or not, the Lockscreen comes up every time.
I have no idea why, when, or how the Lockscreen became associated. Is there anyway to find the source of this key combination?

Need help determining which driver to install
I have a two-week-old Windows 7 64-bit PC that is getting occasional blue screens. WhoCrashed consistently implicates the following driver:
iusb3xhc.sys (Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver, Intel Corporation)
I found what I believe to be the latest driver for my PC on Intel's web site (see screenshot).
I am confused however, by the version number. The driver on the web...

Installing Windows 7 on GPT Hard Drive
My computer contains two hard drive, 3TB and 8TB and the motherboard is P67A-UD3-B3. When I tried to install Windows 7 on each of them separately, it was automatically converted to MBR and their sizes were limited to 2TB. Can it be fixed, meaning installing Windows 7 on each of them without loosing size, or should I consider buying a 2TB hard drive in order to avoid loosing size?

Why is my display so light?
I used my desktop last night and it was fine. When I turned it on this morning, it was so bright/light that it's unusable. I searched the control panel and it said to adjust the brightness on the physical monitor. I turned it down to 0, and it still looks washed-out. I downloaded f.lux, which did nothing. Can anyone tell me what happened?

BSOD every bootup
BSOD history:
Used to get a BSOD ~2 months ago. Was an issue with my LAN drivers, updated them, and it went away.
Steps leading up to current BSOD:
Was working with the Oculus Rift a lot, switching between 2 monitors, and 1 monitor and the Oculus. This caused a few system freakouts, which I had to hard shutdown, but it always booted fine after.
Last night I was going to watch some Netflix...

Execute program as another user remotely?
Hi
I am starting to believe this isn't possible, but I figured I would ask.
I got a standard user, Alice. She is logged in and she is using Thunderbird. Great.
I log in to her system remotely with PSEXEC with my admin user, STEVE.
As Steve, I can kill Alice's Thunderbird with: TASKKILL /F /IM Thunderbird.exe

Router and Cable Modem - Install both at the Same Time?
I need to buy both because I'm only getting 20 Mbps.
It seems like I should not install both new components, but start with the cable modem.
Or am I being too conservative and should go with both being 802.11ac components instead of 802.11n?
For the cable modem, I am considering ARRIS/Motorola SB6141 which Time Warner approves of for 50 Mbps. I think/hope it will talk to my old router -...

File extension error
Hi there. Am working on a PC with win 7 Professional that was infected by the CBT Locker virus. The threat has been removed, and the PC has been cleaned by Virus scanners and Windows Restore. However, there are still two files with a 'bad' extension left; they are user files. So system restore would not affect them. One has a .zip.hgmbsei extension; the other has a .jpg.hgmbsei extension. Both...

Sound stays on when parental controls lock
When parental controls locks a user out of his account, the sound from whatever programs were running still plays. In order to switch off the sound, I have to log in as administrator, switch off parental controls for that account, log into the offending account and switch off the sound. Then I have to log back onto the administrator and turn parental controls back on for the account.

[Asus VS197DE] No driver, and DevManager says "Generic PnP Monitor"
Hello
I just bought this monitor today.
I'm disappointed that it's a 16/9 while I was used to a 4/3, but I could live with it if only the screen was legible, which it barely is*.
I don't know if could explain that issue, but Device Manager only detects it as a "Generic PnP Monitor", and no driver is available on the Asus website:

Malware/Virus hiding in folders it makes for itself with random names
I have some sort of what I assume is malware taking up ~30GB of space on my hard drive. Every time I locate the folder it's in, which is visible, the folder disappears and comes up under a new name. First it was under 'DigitalLocker' and then it was under 'Globalization'. I figure there's no point in trying to just delete it because it will just hide itself and show up again somewhere else.

Hi I'm having trouble preventing Word 2013 from automatically formatting a document. I have defined a multi level list associated with the headings style. If I have a line of text that has a number at the beginning of the line, word will automatically apply the heading style that corresponds with the number when instead I just want to create a bulletted list. The little auto format lightning...
