Hello, I'm running VMWare workstation 14.2 and every time I revert to a snapshot, my machine is stuck precisely at that point. Whatever modifications I make after that, including takeing other snapshots, are never written to the disk.

Can I copy Explorer column headings from 1 folder to another, not all?

Is there a way to "save/template" the columns in Explorer? For example I have several folders with video content. In each folder when I explore I want to see specific column headings e.g. Type, Size, Length, Frame rate, Video tracks, etc. The list is long and it's a pain to set them up each time. I don't want to save the desired column headings to ALL folders, just specific ones. Would be nice...

A few weeks ago I bought an MSI radeon rx vega 56 for my pc and had troubles with software in it. It would give out a black screen, and checking the mini dump files would state that the AMD drivers were causing it. Eventually I found out I was using the wrong driver, and that was causing the issue. Now with the right MSI driver, the card has worked 90%, but isn't 100%. It still would BSOD...

Using 2FA to verify a Visa online transaction cuts off the Internet

I have had this problem for months. In my country and with my bank, many online transactions made with a Visa credit card must comply with the Verified by Visa system, which adds a 2FA step on top of the card number and CVV number. A one-time code is transmitted by vocal message through a designated phone number (landline, in my case), and typing it in the Verified by Visa window is the last...

Power cord not included

I got a pair of Altec Lansing (Rev A00) speakers for my old computer (Dell Dimension XPS T800r) at a rummage sale. Silly me - I realized when I got home that the power cord wasn't included. I thought my "universal" power supply might work, but it didn't and I can't buy online since I have no "plastic". Any advice what to do now (besides get a credit or debit card)?
