    Windows 10 how to troubleshoot program hang

    Win10 21H1 -1083 I have a program that hangs when it opens. I tried to reinstall it and the install just quits. On another computer it runs fine. Same OS, same versions, same AV. It does not use a browser. The database is OK. It worked some time ago on W10 but I don't know what version. It is an...

    Windows 10 RE adding a partition to HHD that has 4

    So a dynamic disk is different than an extended partition and logical drives? And because I selected the whole unallocated portion it wants to create a dynamic disk instead of a extended partition and a logical drive. Do I have it right? Well, selecting 90000 instead of the full 99999 doesn't...

    Windows 7 Windows magic - I have no idea what else call this

    thx - I don't think it is a fct of Ultraedit. it has to do with windows permissions. If I open a txt file in another folder (not owned) in the same path area with notepad then try to save it, Windoz won't let me. I can save it to my documents thou. Windows sees Ultraedit different than Notepad...

    Windows 7 Windows magic - I have no idea what else call this

    I am logged in as Bill (an admin user). I tried to create a new txt doc in an install folder far down under Program Files (x86). My only rt clk option is new folder. I opened another txt file in that folder with Ultraedit (my default editor) and saved it as NOTES.txt in that folder. Now I can...

    Windows 7 USB device not recognized

    that is a good theory, problem is if I plug it into the SAME MB ports except using the back addin 4 port adapter it works fine. There is something mysterious about the front panel adapter - which as far as I can tell is the same arrangement except there does not seem to be any capacitors on the...

    Windows 7 USB device not recognized

    it is an NCP scanner. HWID = USB\VID_0403&PID_6001&REV_0400 The wallwart puts out 5V@500MA so pwr wise it is within USB2 specs. The system is reporting a code 43. If I plug this into ANY other USB port, USB3/2 or Root hub (USB2) it works. It is reported as a USB Serial Converter under Universal...

    Windows 7 USB device not recognized

    Great theory, but it isn't a USB 3 device. HOWEVER, I did not specify that the device is a USB2 device so U would have no way to know that. Correct! A USB3 ports supply 1A, USB2 ports supply 0.5A. In order to connect to USB3 power U must have a USB3 device. If u plug a USB2 device into a USB3...

    Windows 7 A problem executing an html form on website

    I ran across a problem with my DT - this works fine on my LT. on this page -- androidfilehost dot com/?fid=9390355257214632011 there is a Begin Download link in the middle of the page. It is constructed as a form. When I click on it in FF, Chrome, or IE nothing happens. The other pure links on...

    Windows 7 SOME links on website pages won't open in ANY browser

    thx for the reply. The website opens so the host file isn't stopping it - what does not work is the boxes at the bottom that open a drop down to select a file to download. i actually forgot about it because it seems to only happen on that site and i haven't been back to it. but it is still...

    Windows 7 SOME links on website pages won't open in ANY browser

    thx for the reply the thing that confuses is that it works with any browser on my laptop - same OS, W7 ; same AV, Vipre; same network - and works with NO browser (IE, FF, Chrome, Waterfox) on my desktop. That eliminates the add-ons idea, and the website idea and points to a W7 config setting.

    Windows 7 SOME links on website pages won't open in ANY browser

    OK - the LINKs that do not work r actually drop down menus. They work fine on my laptop so I assume it is a Windoz issue and not a website issue. ALL browsers ( FF, WF, Chrome, IE) do it on the desktop. They do not show the link in the status bar on either laptop or desktop. On the desktop, when...
