IMHO DHL is much better. jaclaz

No, not a good idea IMHO. My advice is don't do it, as it is pretty much unneeded. You see why I had to specify the no ifs/no buts? I mean, my original points #1 to #2 cost nothing or next to nothing in terms of money and nothing (like 1/2 hour or so) in terms of time, should they actually work and solve the issue, from #3 on they start costing both in money and time, a Windows repair on hardware that is presumably intermittently faulty (or on a filesystem that for *some reason* cannot be fixed by CHKDSK) is unlikely to be anything more than some wasted time (but of course it could also be resolutive, no way to know). jaclaz

The no ifs/no buts was in point #2 about replacing the SATA cable, not the disk/ssd (which is conditional in point #3). But there are no problems (normally) in cloning the disk to a new one or - better - making an image of it and then deploy the image to a new device, the result will be the old os/install running on a brand new device,no need to reinstalll, of course, unlike the SATA cables that has a trifling cost, the new device will have a cost. The fact that you have CHKDSK autorunning means that you are experiencing some kind of filesystem corruption that could be due to any of: 1) some bad RAM contacts 2) a bad (SATA) cable (again contacts) 3) a bad disk/ssd (for whatever reason, be it "weak" sectors on rotating media or bad cells on a SSD) 4) really bad RAM stick There is of course a 5th possibility, a virus, some other form of malware (but you already scanned your system with no such evidence) or even a driver that from time to time"goes astray". And - only for the record - a 6th one, which I didn't mention assuming that it was already excluded, that is thermal management (the processor, the graphic card and even the SSD or the RAM may overheat and create these semi-random issues). In these latter cases the CHKDSK running is not due to mass storage devices, but rather to the forced reboot after the BSOD (unclean shutdown). jaclaz

More than RAM, at first sight they seem more like disk issues. What I would do: 1) remove all RAM modules and clean the contacts (with compressed air on the motherboard and with a rubber eraser on the actual modules), rest them. 2) replace the disk (SATA) cable (no, buts, no whys, no perhaps, no what if instead, no nothing, just replace it with a new one) 3) if the errors/problems continue to happen test the hard disk (or SSD) with the manufacturer's diagnostics and if these show anything different from "passed" or "no errors" replace it 4) test the memory with memtest, as well if anything is different from "perfect", try one stick at the time until you find the one(s) that do not pass the test and replace them jaclaz

But IF it was a phone, it would have had sleep working .... jaclaz

WHICH software/driver? Afaik it does exist logitech drivers version 13.51.823.0 that should be Windows 2000 compatible (even if listed as XP and later). https://webcamtests.com/drivers/logitech/logitech-all_13.51.823.0-camera-driver-for-windows-xp-vista-7-8-8.1-10-x86 The above is a "plain" .zip, no installer, no idea if it will work for you. There is also an earlier version: https://webcamtests.com/drivers/logitech/logitech-all_13.1.1021.0-camera-driver-for-windows-xp-vista-7-8-8.1-10-x86 jaclaz

Perhaps suddenly lumping (together) pinned and unpinned threads ? Reference/inspiration : https://www.mamalisa.com/?t=es&p=1658 jaclaz P.S. I am usually half-serious, which can also be seen as half-funny, depending on the point of view ...

Pinning, unpinning, my head is spinning ... jaclaz

As a matter of fact, exception made for browsing, that with recent browser and crappy bloated internet sites means senselessly using heaps of memory, the difference between 2 GB and 4 GB (of which as said only 3.2 to 3.5 will likely be visible) won't be very relevant/noticeable, that was the point I was trying to make, and it is confirmed by the "a little better" experienced by OP. Switching to a SSD should be "more better", i.e. more noticeable. jaclaz

Only to endorse the suggestion by bphlt and Gansangriff, 7 tends to use the hard disk for "background" (mostly unneeded) activities a lot more than previous Operating Systems, a number of services can be disabled to regain some of the lost performance, but the change to a SSD is what usually gives the install a speed boost without the complexity. About RAM, 2 GB is definitely a bit tight, upgrading to 4 GB (of which you will probably be able to "see" only 3.2 to 3.5 GB) will also make a difference, and - optionally - you can usually (but it depends on the specific hardware) use Gavotte Ramdisk to use some of the "invisible" memory for - say - a small swap file or for the browsers temp folder. jaclaz

Yeah, sure. jaclaz P.S.: graphical representation, just in case: http://www.marriedtothesea.com/110410/put-the-cart.gif

You mean you stole it? jaclaz P.S.: I guess that with this I will enter the list of people not allowed to quote your posts

Should you go for the (very correct) thin client suggestion, this is an extremely good resource (useful to find what specs/features various el-cheapo machines have): https://www.parkytowers.me.u k/thin/ (though I never used one as NAS, I do have a few good ol' Transmeta Crusoe based thin clients - FujitsuSiemens Futro S220/300 - used as router, going strong since 2012, 24/7, I am on the second one as a power supply blew during a storm due to spikes). jaclaz

I am not. Ask the Linux community! (before or after joining it) they will no know much better than people on MSFN. jaclaz

I guess that more than invisible, comments might make the topic as visible as the Windows 7 extended kernel in its current status (non-existing). When (if) someone will ever start writing an extended kernel for 7, I am pretty sure that you (and everyone else) will be able to make requests/post lists of missing functions. jaclaz

You mean what we (highly specialized technicians) call a lousy Chrome port? jaclaz

Sure , that would also do nicely, though the idea of a "master post" with a "curated" list is still IMHO "better". jaclaz

What's the matter with you people? Yet another attempt to delete history (or make it unnecessarily difficult to access it)? The very fact that a topic has been pinned sometimes in the past makes it worth it. As I said in another topic: if the issue is about "eyes been hurt by the amount of pinned topics" or "pinned topics take up too much space and I have to scroll down too much on the first page of a sub-forum"[1], topics can be unpinned, but only once a "master post" listing them is added. jaclaz [1] graphical representation, just in case : http://www.marriedtothesea.com/030306/gracious.jpg

I don't know it is possible (but just a guess) that an older OS treats the attribute/whatever of those particular reparse points in a different manner, either ignoring them or copying them just fine because it knows nothing of the 0x00000001b tag. It may depend on the actual mechanisms that the specific copy program uses. jaclaz

Hmmm. Those must be "queer" or - to say the least "non conventional" tests ... jaclaz

Added PS in the above. posting to have UCyborg notice the update. jaclaz

Questions (not answers ): 1) is the NTFS filesystem "sound" (i.e. does it pass a CHKDSK run without evidencing any issue)? 2) does this happens under Windows 10 (or a Windows 10 based PE) only or is it the same under - say - Windows 7 (or a windows 7 based PE)? To understand if it is a filesystem connected issue or an OS connected one, the "reparse point with a tag value 0x8000001b" is definitely connected to UWP: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-fscc/c8e77b37-3909-4fe6-a4ea-2b9d423b1ee4 it is entirely possible that the good MS guys have updated some parts of the NTFS but not some of the tools (robocopy) and that the (otherwise exceptionally good) third party tools such as Ln and Fastcopy have not (yet) been updated to take care of the changes. jaclaz P.S.: Do check these: https://www.tiraniddo.dev/2019/09/overview-of-windows-execution-aliases.html https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60421250/windows-10-user-unable-to-execute-appexeclink-reparse-point-exe-files

No, whenever you move something, it is probable that you lose or damage something. BUT something that could be useful - particularly to the new members - would be a curated list of (old and new) topics, something loosely similar to this post by MDGx (related to 9x/Me): for others OS/subforums/sections of the board. jaclaz
