$

0
Just started getting acquainted with this app. 1) Something that I would have thought important, but seems to be rarely documented online is the need (or not) to image the system drive in DOS. Yes? Or no? 2) Which brings me to boot discs. Do I need to create two discs, i.e., a WinPE *and* a Recovery? Or does one disc do both jobs? 3) Finally, Differential or Incremental backup for my OS...

Hi all, I have an old 1TB WD Purple 3.5" *WD10PURX* designed for surveillance devices. I intend to reformat this and use it as a conventional external drive, mainly for data storage. The problem is that, i think, the power requirement is different, because WD Purple was designed for continuous 24hr i/o intellipower. i plugged it into an old barracuda external casing, with power adapter, and...

I have a self-built computer that's close to 4 years old. I used to get a BSOD every once in a great while, but lately BSOD and even more so freezes are happening happening at least 1-2 times a day if not more. I'm worried it may be my motherboard or a video card, but hopefully it's just something else that will be an easier fix. System specs are in my profile. I have also uploaded the DM Log...

I have some MP4 files that do not fill my TV screen completely when viewing (with black bars at the top and bottom), even though their frame sizes are 720 x 1280. Other files, with the same frame sizes, fill the screen so I'm wondering how this can happen and how to correct, if possible, without having to change my TV's display to Zoom, from Normal.

Does anyone have a clue how to do this? I really really need to darken the text and...

Hello! My title pretty much sums up my issue. It does not matter what the window is, can be a program, windows explorer, command prompt... anything. If my cursor strays off of that window even for a second, it shoots to the back and whatever is behind it pops forward. It started doing that a few weeks back... and I'm not sure what I may have done that caused it. I did do the regedit thing...
