I hope I can word this so that it makes sense... When looking at any particular installed program in it's folder in Program Files, there is always a file "Application" that is a .exe file. Is this file the same configuration/file as the downloaded installation file ? In other words, if I were to copy that file to another machine, could I then right-click it and it install just the same...

I have a program that I want to install that says it requires JRE Version 7 or later. Sometime ages ago, I purged anything JAVA from our machines and have thus far been careful to avoid it; I don't really know why; it just seemed like the smart thing to do at the time. I Google-searched the situation, but all of the info that I came up with was 2013 or earlier and only led to confuse me...

I'm working on my sister's computer (Windows 7 Pro x64) for her (I'm not a professional IT tech in any sense of the word, she just asked for help because I've been able to fix stuff for her before), she has a very weird problem that I'm very concerned is unfixable and would really, really appreciate any help with. So, when she bought the computer a few years ago, she was told from someone at...

The case has four expansion slot spacers on the rear, although there are only three expansion slots on the motherboard itself: x16, x1, and negotiable x16/x4/x1. The second x16/x4/x1 slot has that fourth "blank" space next to it on the rear, so that you can install a double-wide card in both the primary x16 slot as well as the secondary x16/x4/x1...

During a Windows session my backup SSD Hard drive temporarily disappeared (not visible in explorer nor accessible) but reappeared after shutting down computer and restarting. Checkdisk shows no problems. Drive is 3 years old. This never happened before. Does it suggest the drive is about to fail or just something that is OK to live with.
