Windows 7; HP Envy 5530: Previously had an Epson scanner which offered the capability of scanning a text document, "reading" the scan, and then copying the text in order to paste it into another program for editing purposes. Have not found that capability on the 5530; only that it will scan a document to .tff -- which, of course, is not the same and does not offer the ability to actually...

Maybe I’m going crazy, but I vividly recall being able to see my networked drives in windows backup as sources. Now only my local drives show up. My problem is that all of my files are housed on a Zfs server and I want to make a backup. Am I crazy? Did something change in windows 7 so we can’t do this any longer?

I put up with this for years. I decided to turn off the synchronize time setting, manually set the clock, and now it is consistently about right now. So why was sync time always slow? It never worked except to delay the time consistently perfectly 2 minutes slow. The time setting was a constant problem since I record shows using WMC and even with bumping up the WMC setting to start early,...

For a long time I've used an external USB 2.0 hub to connect my wireless mouse and wireless keyboard (each have their own USB dongle) to my desktop PC running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I know it's not the fastest or most optimal solution, but it works well for my needs, and ensures that the dongles have plenty of line of sight across the room. The mouse and keyboard are the only devices plugged...

The date of recording is 12/01/1994, impossible for Dinah, and definitely not today's date. ...
