    Katana 17 B12VFK-228XFR - big mistake (what is startup.nsh ?)

    I bought this laptop as a replacement for a friend. I did read that there was no OS installed. Big deal, I thought, I know how to install Windows. Boy, what a mistake that was. I have a Windows 11 USB key installer that I know works. I went into the BIOS of the laptop and changed the boot order...

    Laptop screen suddenly has a myriad of horizontal black lines

    I have an ASUS ROG STRIX I7 G713QR-K1153T since november 2021. It has been working fine, every day, until today, out of the blue, the screen wobbled and suddenly I have a black line every ten pixels or so. It is quite a nuisance for work. Is there anything I can do, or is this a case of bring...

    Why does a 4TB SSD format to a 2TB drive ?

    I have just purchase a Crucial 4TB SSD (MDL : CT4000MX500SSD1 / SN : 2315E6C772EC). I connect it to my Win 1 0 platform and try to format it with the Disk Manager. I am offered two options, with MBR, or with GUI (if I recall correctly). I chose GUI and end up with a 2Tb drive. What did I do...

    What is this now ?

    It's been a week now since I have a popup complaining about not being able to install a temp file named utt****.tmp. I can't say that nothing has changed in my config, however I can say that I have done a restore (I use Macrium Reflect for my backups) of end of February, then another one of...

    Cannot install Notes R12

    I am at my wits end. I am currently trying to install R12 on my old Windows 7 PC. It fails every time with the error "a file has been locked by another process". I have tried to install from the hard drive, from a USB key and from a RW DVD, same error. I have even installed LockHunter to find...

    Is Microsoft in a war against Torrent clients ?

    Having had to reinstall my Windows recently, I am now in the process of reinstalling my usual applications. One of those apps is a Bittorrent client. I generally choose µTorrent. So I went to the official site to download the installer. When I ran it, MS Defender popped up saying it had blocked...

    Is it possible to replace Windows Explorer when using Win+E ?

    Following my latest folder speed issues I have grown fed up with my desktop Explorer and have replaced it with Double Commander. It's free, it works, and it has the speed I expect from a PC in the 3rd Millennium. Fine. Now what I to know is : is there any way that I can hijack the Win+E combo...

    Here I am again - Windows 1 0 driving me nuts

    Okay, since September, I have bought a Windows 1 0 license for my desktop gaming rig, and now I have bought a new laptop that came with another Windows 1 0 license to replace the laptop I had since 2012. Of course, something is driving me crazy. Both desktop and laptop are on the same 21H1...

    Windows 1 0 : driving me crazy - again

    This morning I got a new update. Patch Tuesday and all that (yesterday I was not home). So fine, I think. Now, I live in France, but I like my computing in English. So, upon installing the latest Windows OS on my newly-upgraded machine, I put my Location as UK and my input language as Belgian...

    PC does not start after upgrade

    Here I am again, doing the very thing I have grown tired of : upgrading my PC. I had a Core i7-6700K on an ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 with 32GB of DDR4 3200 and a sweet MSI GeForce GTX 980 TI LIGHTNING video card. I've had that config since the last quarter of 2015, and it has not...

    At my wits' end with Access

    I'm working on an Access database that has a macro that is supposed to, in the end, launch Publisher. So the last action of said macro is to do this : "MSPUB.EXE" "V:\xxx\yyy\filename.pub" That did not work, Access returned a "Can't find object" error. I then tried to use the complete path, as...

    Windows 10 performance issues

    I have been on Windows 7-64 since it came out. Unfortunately, we all know the drill, hardware is soon not going to recognize 7, so I'm going to have to bite the bullet one day or another - especially since I like gaming. Well that day came sooner than expected, because my daughter took a web...

    Windows Explorer display delay

    I have a laptop and my desktop PC both still on Win7. I also have a NAS with 4 3TB HDDs in RAID 5. On both, I have disabled Windows Search and Indexing, because it just sucks. I have recently had to reinstall my desktop following an incomprehensible crash that wiped the boot sector. So...

    Language annoyance

    This is not an important question, but it is something that irks me to no end. I live in France, my keyboard is Azerty, but when I installed Windows, I specified English as the language to use. I'm a programmer, and I simply cannot work in any other language. So, given that the Install screen is...

    Excel 2013 sometimes opening new tab

    I have this weird case at one of my client's sites. All users have been migrated to Office 2013 from the previous 2010 version. For some users, and not all the time, when they open an exiting workbook, it opens in a new tab instead of a new window. They would like to always have a new window...
