Are you trying to install VMWare Tools to the host or the guest? VMWare Tools is an ISO, you mount into the ODD of the VM. There should be a option to set this in the VM Properties when powered off.

Shiva still exists. I am going about the slow process of finding a donor hard disk to clone to, in order to attempt to port it to new hardware. It is Windows 98 FE.

Make and model of the external disk and/or enclosure? Make and model of the motherboard or notebook?

It is no Soc so it is possible to physical change the CPU, but I do not know if there are any BIOS locks involved.

Put in the memory, then video card, then walk back from there. Also in your previous post you said you took a PSU from a working system and tried on this, did you also take this PSU and try in that system?

Ah no, with a Ryzen it is different. The socket doesn't have the delicate pins on this model. This board only needs the 24 pin ATX and the 8 pin EPS connector. Try with those and remove the other modular cables. See if you can get the system to turn on with just the CPU installed and no ram or the video card inserted.

Think of them as containers. Disk Management kind of displays it in a containery way, but is quite compact. Also can think of it as boxes within boxes. Disk is the outer layer. Partitions go inside of disks. Volumes go inside of partitions. So a volume cannot be larger than the partition it is inside of, and a partition cannot be larger than the disk. Due to Disk Management's UI, you may be trying to extend the wrong thing, ie: trying to extend the volume instead of the partition. One thing I cannot tell from your screenshot is if your disk is 2 partitions with a volume inside of each, or 1 partition with 2 volumes inside of it.

Post the model of the motherboard. If it is a modern board, make sure you are using all of the power connectors as outlined in the manual. For example, it is possible to get this behaviour if you do not connect the 4-8 pin CPU power connector. Some modern boards have multiple. You can also test trying to power on the system without any hardware besides the CPU installed. The test here is to see if you can get an error due to the RAM missing. A lot of boards will beep in this instance. Also I would reseat the CPU and inspect the socket to make sure there aren't any bent pins. The power supply tester I have is useful only to see if all the appropriate lights turn on (knowing that some PSU have no -12v) and if the wrong lights appear then the PSU gets RMA or thrown into the trash. I've never had to go to the length to attempt to fix a PSU that doesn't work on the tester.

Will changing the disk to Dynamic cause XP to stop being able to be booted from it?

Software hangout unless you can craft the post to be relevant to a specific OS version then it can be put into the particular OS section. A lot of things in Windows crosses over so there really isn't any issue with a topic in say... the Win7 section and also applies to XP. We can always move a thread later on if you or a mod thinks it would better fit somewhere else.

You can also see if disabling the Guest account will stop the prompt from appearing.

Jerry was a spammer and his posts got deleted automatically by the forum.

It is on the KB also. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4592438/windows-10-update-kb4592438 But it says the issue is now resolved. So I imagine this means they replaced the update online, and likely without releasing a v2 version of the .msu.

This is not available in Windows XP.

Did you do the recommended restart after installation but before trying to delete the files?

Program is 32bit AutoIT compiled .exe.

UCyborg, I put into my specs the consideration that the average user would be wanting to use the popular, poorly optimized websites like Facebook. Using that specific example, my Win7 x86 PC with 4 GB RAM and a quad core is not powerful enough to use Facebook for more than 5-10 minutes before the browser takes up all available RAM and stops responding. That's not Windows 7.

For files outside of the protected paths, this is not a normal behaviour. I would check for malware, encryption software, or backup software.

Windows 8.1 is a SFF/tablet/emerging market SKU, which could only be the reason why it was installed on that HP. As an example, in the US, that OS would not be allowed to be put on that hardware, as can be seen in the specs which primarily shows Windows 7. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03364089 If you had purchased this PC new from HP and it came with this OS, then you would need to get the recovery media from HP. Otherwise, you'd need to get a new license for an OS, Windows 8.1 or otherwise for reinstall. Because Windows 8.1 with Bing is not a retail edition, the installation media is not made available to the public.

Done

You need to post what it is you are trying to accomplish. We aren't mind readers.

Uhhh changing Mojang accounts to MS accounts? Does this mean I'm going to have three MS accounts or will I get to merge the Mojang account with my personal account? Also, I had thought that Minecraft had even worked on Windows 98 up until now. When did that change?

I don't see any list.

FWIW jaclaz post is in regards to the picture bphlpt posted and not what dencorso posted. Now we are talkin 1971 in Brazil, what do you suppose the possibility is that it was a local product? Searching for "abridor de cartas" doesn't seem to help much... was this what the thing actually was sold as, or is this something that you have just been using it to open envelopes but was actually designed for something else?

The English requirement on the forum is for text posts, not for screenshots. Our users are from all over the world and we have no expectation that the language on their computers is in English. If you see something in a screenshot in another language and you do not know what it says, you can use an OCR translator, or transcribe it yourself into a translator program, or worse case, just ask the poster to translate for you. Otherwise, ignore it if you do not want to go through the effort to try to help someone.
