Just tried to run chkdsk on the laptops c drive and getting some unrecoverable data and letting it run all night only got thru 1%. This all started when the laptop would not boot up and gave the repair your computer dialog.

I was able to get the re-image program to work and I thought I solved my own problem, I clicked next and it started to do its thing. BUT, "the system image restore failed" error details: the request could not be performed due to an I/O device error (0x8007045d) I googled it and see where...

I need to restore my wifes laptop c drive (has 2 drives) from a backup I made using windows backup. The files that windows backup made on the (external HDD) I'm using consist of a folder titled backup set 2013-12-19 091856 in which there is a backup files folder with 7 .zip files (backup files...

I don't think the reception is the problem. Fiber would be ideal but I can't dig for another cable run at this point. The building is fed by a 4 wire conductor, single phase power, neutral and ground. Neutral buss bar disconnected from ground buss bar in outbuilding, Neutral in outbuilding...

I have a workshop building located 320' ft from my home, home network router located about 460' total from the shop pc. When I ran power to the building I buried two flooded cat5e and 2 coax cables for PC, TV, alarm, telephone and internet. I figured I'd give straight ethernet a shot, even...

Looks like it was AVG for me as well, its gone now and so are the problems thanks! t

I do have AVG installed; have you tried without it? I have had link scanner disabled since I installed it, since it was slowing down the browser in my last machine. let me know if removing it worked for you... thanks tom

I've just imported shortcuts into a new win7 64 build from an old xp machine; those all work fine, but most of the time now when I save a new bookmark I get 2 entries- one that doesn't work. I get "problem with shortcut the target of this internet shortcut is not valid. go to the internet...

My splitter arrived today, which will allow me to plug a mouse AND keyboard into the SAME ps2 port. Of course true to form only the mouse was detected and the keyboard does not work. Ugh. so now maybe I'll try a ps2 to usb adapter so I can use my ps2 keyboard in a usb port. If that won't...

4x8...or 3x6...the bike takes up close to that amount of room standing there anyway. might also bolt it into one of those concrete parking lot bumper things: http://midstateconcrete.com/product/147/Parking-Lot-Bumpers.html on the angled part so you can still get the wheel in.

that kryptonite anchor is good for about 45 seconds under a cutoff wheel... the thing I mentioned attached to a 4x8 sheet of something would be much more of a hassle.. t

I went through a lot of this when I lived in philly. Bums kept steaking my cable locked bike cover, probably to use as shelter. I used a yamaha folding lock(which I don't think is made anymore, kind of like a folding kryptonite) with a large pipe tee over the locking part. This was looped...

8gb ram. new sb build with win7 pro. same thing happened with my old XP machine though...I thought the new machine would be able to cope with this "feature"

running IE8 and when I go to close a tab it takes a very long time for the tab to close or the IE window to close. The length of time till it closes is longer the longer I use the machine- when I first start out everything works as it should but gradually I get to the point where I need to...

There was an "allow energy efficient ethernet" and I've unchecked that, we'll see what happens there first & I'll report back... thanks tom
