Yet these services may be needed for disk backup software and the same. In a normal situation, I would agree. However, Nikolas is running this in a VM.

"older generation"="50+" You have set a rather low level for "us". I tried to use age numbers based on the people I am acquainted with. It may also reflect the fact that I've been living in an urban area for over 10 years. Were I living in the country towns again maybe things would be different. And, I am speaking specifically of life in these United States, with full knowledge that other countries can and often are radically different.

Certainly there are shops that can do that for cars, but the common US everyman isn't going to fix up their own car should it become damaged. That subset of society, the motorhead (like a lot of trade skills) is primarily owned by the older generations... say 50+. In the past 15 years, people are not keeping new cars even for the length of their warranties. Instead they most often adopt to trade the car in for another new one once the payments are up. At least around here, those who fix up their own cars or keep older ones are either involved in some sort of motoring hobby. Racing (legal or not), showcase (severe minority), automotive industry workers or those who live in rural areas with less access to dealers or auto part stores. Even in this day, it is rare to hear that someone has changed the oil in their own car, as compared to just 20 years ago. Now people go to a shop and have it done for them. I wouldn't say that 36 is the "younger crowd" really. I think that trends in technology and the internet is driven by people younger than 30. Those who have spend a good 10-15 years in the real world after school years usually wisen up by the mid-30s and not want to deal with so much anymore.

Certainly no one should post their personal email on a public forum.

And also there is no way to know if the keys are deleted from your account, rather it doesn't show up when you log in. Think of it this way, when we delete a post on the forum, it doesn't go away. You can't see it, it doesn't show up in your history (except the increased post count) but it isn't deleted. Its still in there. I would be surprised if said key was actually deleted out of a database (not counting backups) rather just de-linked from your account, or hidden from your view. Here's an example of an account without any keys. I used my testing account which has been used to set up Windows 10 systems. I'm not entirely certain that Bitlocker is as automatic as they say.

I guess you are running in a VM? You have the VirtualBox service there which you obviously wouldn't want to disable. From the list given maybe just two Shadow Copy services. You can try disabling the Print Spooler, but in the past I've ran into programs that complain if it does not work even if unrelated to printing.

Have you seen any instance where re-arranging the XML does anything? By design, it shouldn't, as everything should be parsed prior to being used.

It depends on your requirements. Personally I wouldn't remove any of those.

Well, actually it is surprising (to me). The whole idea of SLIC OEM keys was to further "tighten" an install source to a given PC/laptop, but the OEM license was "perpetual" (as long as it was installed on the same given PC/laptop and not "migrated" to different hardware). jaclaz It is obvious there is some difference between what Microsoft intended or designed for and what happens in the real world. It is supposed to be that if you had to reinstall Windows on your OEM computer, that when you install it with the recovery DVD, it will read the product key from the BIOS and not prompt for one and then activate automatically. I have not seen a situation where this doesn't work that way, other than reading about it on forums.

The product key in the BIOS is not intended to be entered manually. Telephone activation being required does not suprise me.

Something similar happened with Firefox I use at work, except it deleted all my plugins! The only thing I let auto update is Chrome because it has always been seamless, except for that time Flash stopped working a couple years ago.

There should be some mention somewhere on the website regarding the behaviour of the free version.

Does your Windows 8.1 install not let you enter the product key or does it install but not activate?

http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2014/11/17/playstation-2-can-actually-stream-netflix-users-brazil/ There are zero results for Netflix in the Sony Programming section of Assembler, so I guess no one really looked into it.

It wouldn't work. I think the purchase was partly to have something familiar to show off the Hololens but more likely it was to purchase the customers. It is a common trend these days to acquire new customers not by word of mouth or advertising, but to purchase them by aquiring another company.

You shouldn't post your real email on the forum. You can end up with getting spam that way.

Being a kid is ok. I wonder how people would react if someone's intro post was "Hi old people!"

Interesting... all my SWF files have CWS in their headers...

The files are not actually MP4 files. They have an extension of SWF but they aren't those either. Normal MP4 files have a file header that says ftyp followed by a designator as seen in this list: http://www.ftyps.com/ Two MP4 files I have on my computer for comparison have ftypisom and ftypmp42. The SWF files on the OneDrive link do not have file headers at all. This is why I believe that the files the OP uploaded are not going to be very helpful in recovery and that the original SD Card should be looked at again instead.

Hmm looks like they redid their website since last I used it. Looks to be running better! Everytime I went there it would take forever to load completely.

For checking on usability issues (website is up but not working properly) I would search on reddit or twitter. Those two places seem to be the go-to location to post about something not working.

AMD didn't fix it, they made their own CPU that supported both 32 and 64bit. It was also cheaper. Intel eventually made some of their own x86-x64 CPUs and gave up on the Itanium. I remember being involved with purchasing once upon a time and suggested an Itanium server. It was decided against due to the lack of software written for them.

If you are unable to enter BIOS setup without the HDD connected, you should probably replace the board/unit. The only thing you might be able to try first is to reseat the CMOS battery.

I typically deal with various wireless cards, and I find them to end up in this order: 1. Intel 2. Realtek 3. Atheros 4. Azurewave 5. Broadcom This is only personal experience and I only deal with them in notebooks and embedded products.

AMD64 means 64bit. It gets this name because AMD won the 64bit war against Intel's evil Itanium platform aka IA-64.
