  1. Thanks everyone for your replies. I will just wipe the hard drive, and reinstall everything. That way I know I am safe. Will take longer, but that is OK. Thanks again, Mike
  2. Thanks bphlpt and jaclaz for the replies. If I do that RESTORE the computer to its original state when new, will that be just as good as wiping the drive ?? I believe there is an option to remove everything and just install the operating system etc. two reasons I would rather NOT wipe the drive. Would I have issues finding all the drivers ?? And, when I bought the computer it had Windows 8.1 Pro. on it. I then upgraded to Windows 10, and made that ISO disc or whatever, I believe at some point. Can I just use that disc to reinstall windows 10, or will I have activation problems ? Thanks, Mike PS, I am assuming that if I did that restore to original state, I will get the opportunity to set up a local account, and my original Microsoft account and password will be OFF the computer ??
  3. I will be selling my three year old DEll running Windows 10 in a week or two. I have deleted all my personal info. such as my Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music Videos etc I called my internet provider and he helped me remove my email account, so all my emails and folders are gone. Now my only concern is my Microsoft account. I know how to use that WIZPLIZ thingy so that I do not need to enter my password, and the computer boots right to the desktop. However I still see my Microsoft Account NAME, which is my email once in a while. And sometimes when there is a huge update from Windows after it boots two or three times, it asks for my Microsoft Password. How do I fix that, with out messing up my NEW computer, which I used that name and password to set up everything. I guess I just need to remove that info from just the OLD computer that I want to sell. Suggestions, please.
  4. Hi jaclaz, thanks for the reply.,only usedAllavsoft about 6 times so I do not know whole lot about it. I did download that 4K Video Downloaded from the site you gave me. It seems pretty easy to use, so I will just use that program, and forget about Allavsoft. Thanks for the info. Mike
  5. Thanks Tripredacus for the reply. Allavsoft is currently on my three year old Dell that is running Windows 10 pro. It still works great. I got it from Shareware on Sale Jan. 11, 2017. I know that because I got a thank you letter from them that I printed out. I use it to download and burn videos from U-Tube. I have downloaded and installed Allavsoft to my new computer but it is only a trial version. I only get 5 usages out of it. If you can suggest another free easy to use program instead of Allavsoft, let me know. Thanks, Mike
  6. I had a program called Allavsoft on my old computer that I am selling. I tried to find a download for Allavsoft to install on my new computer, but they all seem to be trial versions, or to buy them. Any help here.
  7. Thanks i430VX for the reply. Her pictures are also in DCIM, 100apple1, 100apple2, 100apple3, 100apple4, 100apple5. These are in the INTERNAL STORAGE on the phone. But there are 2000 pictures that wee automatically uploaded to Apples' iCloud. If I go to icloud.com, and sign in with her Apple ID and password, I can see the 2000 pictures but there is no option to save or copy. I was on the right track, when I downloaded iCloud for Windows, but the install get messed up, or I messed up. Either way, it does not work. I then went into ADD / REMOVE programs , thinking I would just remove iCloud for Windows and start over, but I am told that I first need to sign off of iCloud. I hesitate doing that because I do want to take a chance of loosing any of those pictures. I guess I just need to call Apple support, and hopefully they can help me, or just make an appointment at an Apple store. Mike
  8. This post probably does not belong here, but I could not find another category to put it. Sorry. Anyway, my wife has an iPhone SE. When I connect it to my computer with a USB cable, I only see 774 pictures which I found out are the INTERNAL MEMORY PICTURES. She has over 2,000 pictures on the phone. I stopped in at the local ATT store where we bought the phone, and they said I needed to go to www.icloud.com. I did that and then I saw the 2,000 pictures, but there was no option to copy them to my computer. Then I tried that Icloud for Windows. There was a download there, but it only downloaded about 1,000 pictures. I also tried clicking on the first photo, holding down the SHIFT key and then clicking o the last photo. That did nothing. The photos were NOT highlighted. There has to be an easy way to get the photos from the icloud back to the computer. I would usually send pictures to Snapfish, or Spotify to get developed, but can not do that if I can't get the pictues on my computer. Two other people had recommended third party software, which I tried, but it only copies 50 pictures over to the computer unless you buy the program for $40.00 Any suggestions, please. Mike
  9. I got a message from MSFN that says the following. Hi Mike13 TestingThings has posted a comment on a topic Malwarebytes Antivirus TestingThings said TEST2 Then there is a box that says "Go to this post" If I click on that, it takes me to a question that I asked about Malwarebytes Antivirus last year sometime. However there is no post from a TestingThings. The last post was from Tripredacous in December 2017 Any clue as to what is going on here ? Thanks, Mike
  10. Thank you Tarun. Yes. you fully answered my question. Mike
  11. I agree with what was said, but it seams like Malwarebytes Premium has MADE ITSELF my antivirus displacing Windows Defender as my anti virus. I know Windows Defender is NOT the best by a longshot, but my question is still " Should I just leave Malwarebytes as my antivirus and anti malware protection, or should I try to get back to Windows Defender ??
  12. What is the opinion of the antivirus that is included in the premium version of Malwarebytes ? Is it decent, or should I stay with Windows Defender ?
  13. Here is the fix. I found on another help site, in case anyone has the same problem. It worked for me. Microsoft Edge is up and running fine. http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-reinstall-microsoft-edge-in-windows-10/
  14. I was having problems with Microsoft Edge, in Windows 10, so I went into SETTINGS, APPS, EDGE, advanced and tried REPAIR. That did not work, so I tried RESET. Then I rebooted the computer. Now I can not find EDGE anywhere. It is gone. Internet Explorer and google Chrome still work, but I can't find EDGE anywhere. Kindly do not tell me to just use Chrome. I have been using Internet Explorer and Edge for many years, and plan to stay with Edge if I can. Any suggestions, thanks.
  15. I use Allavsoft to download u-tube videos to my computer to then burn to a DVD, and I thought it would also work to download Face Book videos to my computer to then burn to a DVD, but it does not work. How can I do that easily ? I see lots of options if I Google it, but what works best ? Thanks, Mike
  16. Thanks jeff69dini for the reply. I did not know that. But now I feel better, that I did in fact create an image to the external hard drive. Mike
  17. Thanks firefoxthebomb for the reply. YES. if I right click on the file that says WindowsImageBackup, this is what I see at the General Tab. Type..File Folder, Location..F, Size...0 bytes. Size on disk..0 bytes, Contains...0 files, 1 folder, Created..Wed. Dec21, 2016.
  18. I have been using Paragon Backup and Restore to save a complete IMAGE of my computer to an external hard drive. If I then looked at File Explorer, and right clicked on the file that was just created, it tells me the size, like 60 Gig etc. I recently used the backup / image feature in Windows 10. However if I look at the file which is Labeled WindowsImageBackup, and right click on the file, it does not tell me the size of the file that was just created. Is that normal, or am I doing something wrong ? Thanks, Mike
  19. I copied 24 short video clips from my camcorder to my computer. They show up on the computer as SDV_677.MP4 through SDV_700.MP4 I was able to burn these short videos to a DVD using Nero Burning Rom 10. These short videos do play back on my computer when I insert the DVD into the DVD burner in the computer. However...if I put this DVD disc into a JVC DVD / VCR recorder / player that I have hooked up to my TV, they do not play. How can I do this ?? I have Nero burning Rom 10 and Nero Vision Xtra on my computer, in addition to VLC and Windows Movie Maker. Many thanks, Mike
  20. I am running Windows 10. I "USED" to attach a cable from my Olympus SZ-31mr digital camera to my computer (USB) connection. File Explorer would recognize the camera and call it Drive F. Under that I would see, DB, under that I would see DCIM, under that I would see 100OLYMP. if I then left clicked on 100OLYMP, I would open all the pictures that were on the memory card in the camera. A while back I had to format the computer and reinstall everything. Now when I attach that cable, File Explorer recognizes the camera as Drive F, as before. Then I see DB, as before, then I see DCIM as before. But that is the end. I do not see 100OLYMP like I did before. If I click on the last folder DCIM, it tells me that folder is empty. NOW...I do have an adapter, that if I take the memory card out of the camera, and then put the card into this adapter, and then plug the adapter (USB) connection to the camera, I see everything like I did before. But that is extra work and I do want to keep removing the card etc. It was so nice to just attach the cable and then see all the pictures. I have two other computer also running Windows 10, and they both work like before. It is just the computer that I formatted that does not work like it did. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Mike
  21. Thanks everyone for the replies. I have run JRT, TDSSkiller, and ADWcleaner. Nothing was found. However this morning I was getting my emails, and the computer jumped back to the desktop. ????? Mike
  22. Yeah, it happens to me too, this metro explorer sometimes tends to lag, but the win32 things not. This in an APU A4 3300 with 4gb ram. Maybe a high hdd usage at the time? Yeah, it happens to me too, this metro explorer sometimes tends to lag, but the win32 things not. This in an APU A4 3300 with 4gb ram. Maybe a high hdd usage at the time? This is what comes to my mind: Try using JRT (Junkware Removal Tool). Should Clean PC off unnecessary bloatware. You might use Autoruns to check out whether too many things ain't opening at startup. Beware, this program might be dangerous when used in bad way. Use FRST to create logs that will show you potential problems. If this is too much to you, always might ask for help at some forum where there are people that help with such cases at regular basis f.e. Bleeping Computer Thanks everyone for the replies.

  23. Thanks Mcinwwl, and xper. I have already run CCleaner for Cleaner and Registery, as well as Malwarebytes and Kaspersky Internet Security several times. I believe the computer is clean, but there is something wrong somewhere. I evan ran that SFC / Scannow as administrator. No problems there either.
