Just re-installed Win7 from scratch on my 2nd comp and now can't network folders. I'm seeing all the folders on both computers but get "Windows cannot access......you do not have admin rights. I've "Shared" them with permissions In "Change sharing options all are "ticked&quo...

Thanks, I'll watch out for that.

I'm pretty sure what got me for both installs was loading optional updates.

MS Keyboard USB...
MS other hardware...
MS pointing drawing...
nVidia - graphic.....
Realtek........

Should have know better than to update "Optional" stuff.

thewolfe

I just nuked it and starting over!

thewolfe

I know which updates they were. They were optional and I can't see them to un-install. Going to go back using Sys rrestore and see if that helps. Any other ideas?

thewolfe

Just that is was all the updates were installed Windows started not shutting down.

I did stop what programs I could from loading using "Starter" program but still wouldn't shut down. About down to a re-install.

thewolfe

I have a bunch of windows updates and a couple of Adobe Flash player updates. Would un-installing the Windows updates screw up more than it would fix?

thewolfe

Great thanks!

thewolfe

Also I have a bunch of Windows update starting on 10-4-13. Can I really restore back to then using Sys restore and could they have fouled up my computer. And....if so would the updates not affect Safe Mode shutdown?

thewolfe

Still working on a computer that won't shut down normally and freezes but will shutdown normally in SafeMode. So I'd like to see what programs I installed last to see if one of the is the culprit.

thewolfe

Installing. Got about a 1/6 in 20 minutes. Something is up.

thewolfe

Quite a good idea I must say, thanks.

When I put in a MS Office CD or Dragon in either drawer it will not ask if I want to install but only shows all the files. When I click on to the "exe" file the cursor spins for three or four minutes and then asks me if I want to install. Then the cursor starts to spin for about Also I not...

1.The system's hard disk controller card manufacturer and model
number.

2. And the system's hard disk drive manufacturer and model number.

Use to have a program that gave me all that info...I think.

Can't get the BIOS set to boot from "removable" drive. No matter what I set it at it boots to hard drive.

Any keys I could hold down to have it boot elsewhere?

thewolfe

Thanks, I saw Rufus when I was searching around but didn't want to download something if I didn't know it was OK.

I want to put SpinRite on a bootable flashdrive so I can run it.

I want to be able to use the flashdrive with SpinRite on XP & Win 7.

Do I create the bootable drive with Fat32 or NTFS?

Have looked on line on how to create it but any suggestions would be helpful.

What about the Costco "flask" compared to the Just Mobile Gum Max Duo? The "flask is almost half the price.

Still looking for something I can carry around on vacation as well as powering up phone and iPad during a power outage.

thewolfe

Thanks!

Have a friend that has two laptops that he no longer uses but does not want to toss yet. Store them with the batteries? Charged?.......

thewolfe

Not a bad idea.

thewolfe

To use in case the power goes down so I can recharge my cellphones and iPad/ laptop.

Some one suggested the Monster Battery Pack 9000
$69.95

Any suggestions?

thewolfe

Thanks for the post. I found the culprit, it's was Comodo Dragon. I uninstalled it and all is well. I had re-installed Comodo firewall and that must have come along with.

I'm getting an NSIS error - error launching installer

Can I find out more about this error looking at the "event viewer"?

It started a few days ago after I uninstalled Zone alarm, I think.

thewolfe

Uninstalled it in Safe mode and it worked.

Thanks for the post.

thewolfe

Been trying to install it off and on for a week with procedures I posted above, just normal un-install.

thewolfe

A friend updated Adobe and evidently didn't uncheck something and it installed "McAfee security scan plus". We tried to uninstall it from the control panel and from the uninstall in the McAfee plus programs folder but would not uninstall. I thought I'd try safe mode next. Any other ideas? ...

I have a half dozen golf videos that I would like to have on my computer . What's a good program to use o capture them?

Just saw the following show that got my thinking about TrueCrypt again.

http://twit.tv/show/know-how/43

thewolfe

Gotcha! Just bought a G-Drive from Costco that I can backup to and then give the Truecrypt a try. I know you can also encrypt a file, a folder or the whole drive.

Time to play.

thewolfe

External backup that's not encrypted?

thewolfe

I've been thing about using Truecrypt for a couple of years but I'm always concerned that my important sensitive stuff would get locked up and I couldn't get to it even though I knew the password.

You guys use it?

thewolfe

Password protecting the PST file locks everything in Outlook.

Would I have to go into the "C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook backup.pst" to lock it? And if so how?

CDN_Merlin, Am using Win7 withe Outlook 2003 and don't have those settings. And again I would want a password to open the contacts and calendar especially on my iPod/iPad. Thanks for the post.

thewolfe

How would I go about doing that on an iPad/iPod and PC?

thewolfe

I got the idea because I use Outlook on my iPad and iPod and wondered about hiding certain info in the contacts or the whole contact.

Thanks for the reply.

thewolfe

is there a way to encrypt or password protect information in my contacts in Outlook 2003?

thewolfe

Yes or yes and reformat?

Costco has the G-Technology 1TB G-Drive Mobile USB 2.0 for $89 but I see something in the literature about the Mac. Will it work with a PC?

But would you buy an Android next time?
