    Yes, I guess it never hurts to remind them. But then they always follow up by asking how. And I never have a good answer, since I've never been able to figure out how to effectively backup my own...

    I think that telling me to get a 320 GB drive and backup my computer is a great idea. But I'm not sure it's helpful to tell a casual user to do that. In my opinion, it takes a level of discipline...

    Yes, the secret is to make it easy to do. The problem is that nobody knows the secret! Over the years, I've had so many bad experiences trying to retrieve data from so-called backups that I just...

    The problem is that we're all human, and I've never met anyone (including myself) who backs up everything they should. Most of the people I know who think they're backing up their systems aren't...

    Thanks! I don't know why I couldn't find that myself. The price is reasonable, too. These aren't the same Microsoft Windows 7 recovery disks I downloaded earlier, right?

    My results using TestDisk weren't as good as I had hoped. TestDisk contains 2 utilities: TestDisk_Win.exe and PhotoRec_Win.exe. TestDisk_Win.exe didn't find any files. PhotoRec_Win.exe found a...

    The 64-bit Windows system repair disc pretty much yielded the same results. However, it did create a Temp folder on the C: drive. Also, I notice that the Boot folder on the C: drive has very recent...

    The link Super Sparks gave me at the beginning gave me a choice between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. Silly me, I chose 32. I'll give it another try!

    Wouldn't there be some more directories, even if I should have used a 64-bit system repair disc? Is there a way to tell the difference between a 32- and 64-bit version, or should I just download the...

    It appears that I solved the actual problem by moving the onLoad event from updatesub into the <iframe> element in updatedata. I had...

    Could I see the files from the command prompt using the dir command? Can I use the command prompt to try to save duplicate files--maybe COPY CON TxFnt08B.ttf ?

    Why is Windows renaming font files?

    I work on a program that checks font file names in the registry to see if certain fonts are installed. This program has been working for years, but now we have found one Vista computer that renames...

    Well, the problem seems to have gone away on its own. I don't think I did anything on my own, so I guess it has something to do with the website I was browsing.

    I don't know much about security certificates either, but this one just doesn't look right. For one thing, it seems to appear in addition to my bank's certificate. If I reject the certificate, my...
