What ho one and all,

And so the problems continue!!!!

I have a Pantone colorvision Spyder 2 Pro monitor calibration toy complete with all the software. Certainly it is form the XP era and...

Thanks. That is a great link to shutdown switches.

Seems there is no real difference between the variations, six of one, or two threes of the other!

Will leave as is.

What ho one and all,

I am surprised how long my W7 install takes to shutdown.

I have an exe file in the Sys32 folder, with shortcut on the desktop; the contents of which are: shutdown.exe /s /t...

Thanks. Interesting to know that it is not me to blame.

Another niggle solved.

What ho one and all,

Don't know if this is W7, my computer or something else.

As the attached, copying a 1.4gb file from the hdd to a thumbdrive. to get to the point shown ins attachment take...

What ho one and all,

I have an annoying thing happening in Photoshop CS6 / Bridge

I import all camera raw files to a large partition, where I work on the ones I want. I also add keywords,...

May be something was not installed correctly. Plugged it in today and it fired up without installing the software again.

Hope the issue has solved itself.

Thanks for the input.

Plugged the J5 in with the USB again today to transfer a photo. This time, the computer 'sees' the phone and gives a message, 'Installing Software.' Did not manage to get a screenshot.

Still installing!!!! After around 15 mins

Not even Photoshop CS6 takes this long.

Thanks fro the link. I don't know where I found the version (1.5 that I currently have but am upgrading to the one in the link as that is 1.7.

Which raises anther question; after 2 mins of...

Think I have solved it. My previous version of VDH just did what it was meant to do. But the newer versions, probably because FF has upgraded everything, now requires me to click the Use Browser...

Yes, but it is not an easy process, unlike using XP. My mistake, it is called SideSync4.

I have just managed to transfer another photo, and although somewhat easier than yesterday, still take...

Thanks for the response. No, it does not happen on every web page / site. It happens infrequently, and due to that, I have not checked if it is always on the some page.

It never happened in XP...

What ho one and all,

To date with my W7 install, certainly on an old(ish) computer but with a Quad core Q6600 processor and 8 gb of RAM, I am not overly impressed.

One minor issue that occurs...

Another Galaxy J5 issue!

I cannot connect my J5 to the W7 computer with the supplied cable. I have installed the Samsung SideSwtich software and sometime it works. I have reinstalled it, and it...

What ho one and all,

When I was using XP and Firefox 40 (something) I had the Video Download Helper installed and could virtually save any web based video clip.

Now with W7, FF78 and Video...

What ho one and all,

Call me paranoid but I really don't like too much 'stuff' littering my os partition.

For example, whenever one installs a program, although there is a language option,...

A Homer Simpson senior moment. Very good idea and something I could have thought of!!!

Many thanks for the info. I did not know that about SynBack, which I use regularly to sync my two hdd photo back-ups. Will invesiget.

Regarding FH, the version that I was using with XP (think it...

Bloody brilliant; you guys rock.

Although I am not a fan of almost every program connect by default, to the internet, why would it be using IE when that is not set as my default browser?

I only...

What ho one and all,

Reinstalled my favourite back-up on the fly program (File Hamster) and I still need to work on getting it right. However, whenever I open the program, I receive this message...

Resolved. I had already tried Properties/Change Icon to no avail. But that was before I had deleted and renewed the cache.

So tried again with Change Icons and I have been able to replace them.

What ho one and all,

I'm addressing this to the W7 forum, because that is what I have installed, although I figure it can be applicable to almost any os.

About a week ago, an installed program...

Grand! Thanks very much. That has solved the issue.

Here we go again!!!!

If you have been following my saga, you may recall that I am updating my os by going with the most recent MS no-longer-updating systems.

So W7 and a version of OE6 that is...
