Lately i've heard rumours that the get W10 "Free" upgrade option will end 31/12/2017, and before the argumements start YES you can, even tho the original offer expired a while back. (i assume because they didnt make the target) Anyway back to my solution. I suspect many like me have upgraded to an SSD, which i fully intend to run W7 on for years to come. BUT i still have my W7 (same...

Infuriating sound loss with Bluetooth UE Boom 2 on Windows 7

0
0
Hi all I'm having a really frustrating problem with my new Bluetooth speaker. Essentially, it pairs fine with the bluetooth receiver I bought and is recognised by the computer. It's recognised in audio devices as the default device and in the taskbar, and when audio is playing the green bar is going up on the volume bar as if sound is coming out. And sometimes, it is. However, almost every...

Solved WINSXS folder is too large

0
0
This WINSXS folder is taking up over half of the 30 GB space on my computer. I'm not sure it's something I want to touch, but I don't think this is right. My Free Disk space decreases each day, even if I do no activity on my computer. I do Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmenter and Clear Internet History, which brings me back up to about 500 MB free disk space, but it's back down to under 100 MB 3...

DeskJet 5550 has suddenly switched to Very Slow Printing Mode

0
0
Windows 7 / HP Deskjet 5550: Printer has been working fine, but for some unknown reason it has decided to change over to Excruciatingly Slow Printing Mode: instead of hearing the carrier busily scurrying back and forth, it now trundles once across, then takes a long rest, then heads back the other direction. Now, I'm getting on up in those "senior years" and so my walk-abouts and hikes...

SSD problems, probably the SATA cable/connector?

0
0
Hi! I have a Samsung 840 EVO 120Gb SSD (which I bought in March 2014). Never had any problems with it, but recently I've been having doubts about it. I attached a HDSentinel screenshot, which shows there's some sort of problems between the host and drive (1089 times as of now, but every system start increases that number by 1). Most sources say this problem is caused by a faulty Sata...

USB cable on/off switch?

0
0
Does anyone know if you can buy a little USB2.0/3.0 cable extension with a switch on it, for turning the device on and off? I have bought some (very cheap) from eBay and from Amazon (UK), but the device is not recognised when I plug it in to the PC via the switched cable. The device is a gaming control/joystick which, for reasons I won't bore you with, needs to be disconnected and reconnected...

I recently had some upgrades done on my laptop, including having a SSD installed and some more memory, but I find I now can't take/save screenshots. I've followed various instructions about setting the save location, but with no luck. Can someone take me through the process so I can see what the problem is?

BSOD while Internet browsing (?)

Hi everyone ! Just coming to you with a BSOD from my parents' computer (running a Windows 7 Pro 32 bits). They don't know much about computers, so they didn't reboot the PC since then and I don't really know what my dad was doing when it happened (I guess he was just on Google Chrome tho, as he said he was using Internet). Anyway, I attached the informations gathered with your tool and I'm...

It started out with my microSD card - I tried to view the files on my computer and it said "the disk is write-protected" and wouldn't let me view anything. I realized the adapter was locked ,unlocked it and tried again. This time I could view the files but run the Error-checking tool on the card. Same message showed up, "The write disk is protected." Tried another adapter, same thing happened. ...

WLM Filtering

I've noticed that filters I create using the "Where the From line contains" criterion don't always work. Will it work only if what appears in the "Received: from" line in the source code is specified? Or is it supposed to work if the displayed "From" line of the message is specified?

Seeking download site for W7 compatible Digitalway MPIO FY200 drivers

Hoping someone will know where to find a free download of the latest Digitalway MPIO FY200 MP3 player drivers for Windows 7. There's plenty of commercial "driver finder" software that may help, but I prefer not to be extorted into buying that software if there's a site I can go to and download the drivers myself. Thank you if you have a lead.

IE11 & Video playback?

0
0
I've looked all over this forum so forgive me if I'm digging up the dead. I've been using IE since the mid '90's. I've tried the others at various times but always gone back. Now that IE11 is no longer supporting video playback I'm at a loss for what to do. Is there some sort of patch or add-on that's going around? I have Chrome setup and I use it for some sites but I'm not thrilled with it....
