Sorry, not sure I understand although I have little to lose.

The link I found, suggested a problem with KB3004394 and if present, install KB3024777.

I cannot see that I have KB3004394 so...

Don't know what to do? Seem to be getting all the symptoms; message popping up which I can close and one web site said that the computer would close down after X minutes, and that seems to be...

Again, many thanks. I cannot see (find?) KB3004394. Went through the list twice.

Whatever it is, it is causing some strange things to happen but does not appear to be affecting the compute...

Five minutes after posting the above, it has jumped back! What a bugger.

Thanks. I will wait and see if it returns since even though the relevant properties box tells me my copy is activated, I did follow the W7 link on the properties page to activate it (again!)

Since searching for a solution to another problem (https://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?287288-E-mail-default-program), I am now being plagued by this message which is most strange as...

Thanks; interesting. I did not get the file converter from MS as their message either told me that it was not available for W7 support finished) or wanted me to create an MS account which I have no...

Solved after a lot of attempts. Needed MS Compatibility Pack, but most that I found were for the more recent Office 2007 and would not install with the message that my software was not compatible.

What ho one and all,

Yet another issue that is annoying me!!!

I know that my e-mail program (a hacked OE6 that I found and pretty much does what the XP version of OE6 does) is not what MS want...

Thanks; very useful links, particularity the Vegas one.

Will restore to before trying to get Spyder working and try again following the guide.

Already have DisplayCAL installed, and it does...

It is an old Dell UltraSharp and with XP, I was calibrating it every 6 months suing the Spyder 2 screen gadget and the OSD to adjust according to what the calibration software advise.

When...

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.

Toodle pip

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...
