That is the same way it works on Win7 as well, so at least MS is being consistent. The "hover" value does not include hidden files and folders, but I believe that right-click > properties does. Cheers and Regards

Actually, the link describes high CPU usage and slow performance, but I didn't see it mention jerky screen display, though the "solution" of disabling Memory Remapping is the same. Overall, that link and your experience are indeed both seemingly pointing to a driver issue being the real problem. Cheers and Regards

Restore Points from Backup that doesn't exist-how to remove?
bphlpt replied to extraoneya's topic in Windows 7
@extraoneya, have you tried to go through the instructions here, which shows how to delete all previous restore points? Then you can create a new manual restore point to use as a new starting point. Before you create a new manual restore point, you can also take Aloha's suggestion to temporarily disable System Restore, reboot, and check and make sure that C:\hiberfil.sys is deleted. (It's normally a hidden system file so be sure that "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is UN-checked in Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Advanced.) Then you should be able to re-enable System Restore and continue. Cheers and Regards -
Jody, I THINK I understand what you are saying, but could you perhaps capture a "screenvid", ie video screenshot, showing examples of the exact type of movements that cause the jerky displays and put it up on YouTube or someplace? I know doing so won't really directly help anything, but it might make sure folks don't get distracted trying to figure out exactly what you mean, rather than coming up with solutions. Cheers and Regards

But that doesn't mean that BigMuscle submitted it. Cheers and Regards

By video, are we talking about YouTube displayed in a browser or local video displayed in a video player like MPC or VLC? In either case does it make a difference in which browser or player you use? I understand from your comments about proper behavior on XP Pro x64 Edition that this does seem like a driver issue. The latest driver might not be the best, but I know you said you have tried several. Cheers and Regards

If you know the particular KB number involved for the hotfix, why don't you just download it directly and try to install it? Cheers and Regards

Post-RTM Updates for Windows 8 (Discontinued!)
bphlpt replied to steven4554's topic in User Contributed Update Lists
Just curious, but why do you not want to update your systems to 8.1? That update list is being maintained. Wanting to stay with Win 8 instead of Win 8.1 seems to me the same as staying with Win 7 RTM instead of SP1. Cheers and Regards -
Maybe you should just change "RememberLastSession" from Yes to No. Wouldn't that ensure that it should always come up in the default location on the main screen? Cheers and Regards

stonyi1966, whether the problem is your IP or whatever, the problem is definitely on your end. You might try using a different DNS, I use OpenDNS, check your HOSTS file, your AV, your router settings, whatever else you can think of. Something on your end is blocking things. Is this the ONLY thing that is giving you this problem? It seems unlikely that anything, including your IP, would only effect this one site. Very strange. EDIT: Link deleted Good luck in fixing your issue. Cheers and Regards

Just out of curiosity, try any other current browser you happen to have, or can find to use, even a portable version if you don't want to install another one, 32bit or 64bit shouldn't matter. Any of the Chrome variants, (Chrome, SRWare Iron, COMODO Dragon), Opera, Firefox or Pale Moon, SlimBrowser, even QtWeb, installed and portable, all should work fine. Cheers and Regards

So, if BM has a goal in mind of how much he thinks his product is worth, then he will need to raise the price he charges to get the same net income. Would you really rather that happen vs he stay with the approach of charging the least amount he can to the end customer? Why do people keep pushing this issue? I just don't understand. Cheers and Regards

@ChrisR, I assume the link for TinyWindowsBorders was supposed to point here? - http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.96 Cheers and Regards

@helmutcheese, it seems to be a confirmed issue between IE11 and the software this board uses, IP Board, that causes problems regarding linking to or posting photos and I think maybe also copying and posting text, and no matter whether the problem is really in IE11 or the board software, in either case the problem is beyond the control of the staff of the board. So I'm curious why you seem to be refusing to use an alternate browser for those occasions when you need to do one of those problem functions? It can't be a matter of cost since most of the alternatives are completely free. It can't be a matter of not wanting to install another browser since many of the alternatives are available in a portable form. It can't be wanting to only use a 64 bit browser since some of the alternatives are also 64 bit. It can't be a matter of the alternatives being too complicated to use, or take up more memory or disk space than you have available. If it is just stubbornness or wanting to "prove a point", I'm afraid you are only hurting yourself, or the folks you are trying to share the information with. I'm not saying the problem is not real nor that it should not be fixed, but as I said, the problem is beyond the control of the staff of the board, so there is no telling when or if the issue will be resolved. By all means, continue to use whatever browser you like whenever you like, But wouldn't it be a better idea to use a tool that works when you need to? Just sayin'... Cheers and Regards

bphlpt replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
in WPI.hta, wasn't this: else if (ver<870) { if (confirm(configFile+"\n\n"+getText(txtUpdateConfig3))) { UpdateWizard1(); RefreshWPI(); }supposed to be this: else if (ver<870) { if (confirm(configFile+"\n\n"+getText(txtUpdateConfig3))) { UpdateWizard3(); RefreshWPI(); }And I thought you were going to get rid of the "while" and "break" statements, or was that what you meant by "the first codes suggested can gives themes errors"? If you could explain the theme errors I would like to fix the code to avoid the errors, but still use cleaner code if possible. Cheers and Regards -
Welcome back, Larry! Cheers and Regards

LOL I'll let myselfidem do that since he does more testing than I do so has a better feel for what actually works. Sorry I got in the way and made it harder for you to follow, Kel. Cheers and Regards -

bphlpt replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Sorry. My post wasn't very clear. I was trying to say that the first code was better, ie get rid of the "while" and all the "break" statements. I don't think they are necessary. So this should be the updated file: var ver=GetConfigVersion(); if (ver<0) {/* Do Nothing */;} else if (ver<720) { if (confirm(configFile+"\n\n"+getText(txtUpdateConfig))) { UpdateWizard1(); RefreshWPI(); } else { alert("You should remove config.js from the WPIScripts folder\nbefore continuing. Then run WPI again."); self.close(); } } else if (ver<770) {NeedUpdateWizard=2;} else if (ver<800) {/* Do Nothing */;} else if (ver<870) { if (confirm(configFile+"\n\n"+getText(txtUpdateConfig3))) { UpdateWizard3(); RefreshWPI(); } } else {/* Do Nothing */;} document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'+configFile+'" application="yes"></' + 'script>');Cheers and Regards -

bphlpt replied to Kelsenellenelvian's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
Me again. LOL AFAIK, this: var ver=GetConfigVersion(); if (ver<0) {/* Do Nothing */;} else if (ver<720) { if (confirm(configFile+"\n\n"+getText(txtUpdateConfig))) { UpdateWizard1(); RefreshWPI(); } else { alert("You should remove config.js from the WPIScripts folder\nbefore continuing. Then run WPI again."); self.close(); } } else if (ver<770) {NeedUpdateWizard=2;} else if (ver<800) {/* Do Nothing */;} else if (ver<870) { if (confirm(configFile+"\n\n"+getText(txtUpdateConfig3))) { UpdateWizard1(); RefreshWPI(); } } else {/* Do Nothing */;} document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'+configFile+'" application="yes"></' + 'script>');should give the same result as this: var ver; ver=GetConfigVersion(); while (ver>-1) { if (ver<720) { if (confirm(configFile+"\n\n"+getText(txtUpdateConfig))) { UpdateWizard1(); RefreshWPI(); } else { alert("You should remove config.js from the WPIScripts folder\nbefore continuing. Then run WPI again."); self.close(); } break; } else if (ver<770) { NeedUpdateWizard=2; break; } else if (ver<800) { break; } else if (ver<870) { if (confirm(configFile+"\n\n"+getText(txtUpdateConfig3))) { UpdateWizard1(); RefreshWPI(); } break; } else break; } document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'+configFile+'" application="yes"></' + 'script>');But I realize that some of the "improvements" I suggest are a matter of "style". Cheers and Regards -
To reiterate what PinkFreud said, none of the updates in the nLite list of 'Post SP3 Updates' are already in SP3, they are what you would get from Windows Update if you visited Windows Update using a fresh install of SP3 that had not been updated at all beyond SP3. So bottom line, you probably need them all. Cheers and Regards
