As I suspected. Thank you very much.

Hi, I have a question regarding the installation of the Windows system on two different computers. Here are more details: I bought my laptop 3 years ago with Win 7 professional. The OS was already installed, so I didn't receive any disk. As I understand this is usually happens when retailer...

Thank you for your help, I'll move all good files to the new drive first, and then I'll try this tool and see how it works. I knew hard drives are not forever, but I expected more than 2 years. Until SSDs are in reasonable prices, it's quality HDD from now on.

So there is no way I can save my files from the folders that can't be open? Is it possible that only few files in that folder are problematic? Can I somehow open the folders from the MS-DOS and not from the Windows?

Hi, I have some problem with my external hard drive and I would appreciate any advise you can give me to solve this. I have Toshiba 500GB hard drive that I bought just over 2 years ago. I am using it to backup my data from pc, and sometimes to play a movie from it. Recently I can't access...

Hi guys, not sure if this question is for Windows 7 or for Android forum, but I'll ask and maybe you can tell me on which side is the problem. I am trying to connect my Android phone as a hotspot for my laptop instead of the wireless router. I manage to activate the hotspot tethering, in the...

Oh, I see. I think I do have realtek driver for sound, not sure I ever saw the panel. I'll check that too.

I will try it next time, when HDMI and speakers both connected, to see which playback device is default, thanks. Not sure what you mean by "another mixer application", maybe example? Really don't want to touch anything in BIOS.

Hi, When I connect my laptop to TV through HDMI cable, I get both video and audio from it to play on TV. And if I connect speakers to the headphones output I can't hear sound in speakers, the HDMI audio is still playing on TV. Is it possible somehow to disable the audio on HDMI so only the...

lol, you are so smart, Captain Obvious.

I changed the settings to "Do nothing" before, but it did not solve the problem. What is " lid sensor button" and where do I find it? I also suspect that the problem might be in one of the installed utilities that came with my laptop. I have genuine Sony, so I have all kind of Vaio softwares...

Any ideas?

Nope, still the same, sorry. I keep losing the connection every time I close the lid, so frustrating. I went over all power settings, set everything to maximum power and to work all the time, even on battery, set the properties of the wireless card not to turn off, and the problem still happens...

Wow, thank you, this is really helpful. Like you said the Wireless and Network adapters were set to save power, so I unchecked the box. Now I will pay attention for my laptop's behavior and hopefully it is fixed.

When I open the lid of my laptop I see there is no network connection and computer starts to search it. It happens a lot but not always. I tried to see how long it takes for the connection to be disconnected after I close it, and sometimes it happens almost immediately - I close the lid, open...
