  1. The settings option is a menu choice, however it is only a shortcut to a url. I would wonder if you could open a new tab and then manually go to that URL? I believe it was chrome://settings/
  2. I had to recently switch to Skype when MS decided to shut out the third party access to MSN Messenger a couple years ago. It was fine, even if it uses more RAM than IE does. But it along with anything else, doesn't get updated. The only issue is that if you disable updates, Skype will still download its update but constantly bug you with approving to install it. There is no option to not do updates. I'm still on version 7.16.0.102. If it were possible to use an old version without any bells and whistles, I certainly would. I only need to for IM purposes.
  3. Your situation is not unique, the one where you have a problem with your code but cannot post it. So what you need to is replicate the portion that is failing. You do this in preparation to be posted online. A cleaned version of the code (as likely the failing portion is not a unique discovery you have made) that will exhibit the problems you are seeing, but without having all the extra stuff your program does. (I can interject that your program should be built like this already) Often when I have to do this, 90% of the time I will find the problem on my own. Or I will hit the issue where the PoC code works but the original doesn't. Having a working vs non-working set is a great thing. But if after this exercise, your PoC code still does not work properly, you can post it online without worry of sharing sensitive information.
  4. There are some instances where you cannot use Windows 7 on PCI-E storage. For this one, you need to verify Secure Boot is disabled. Also you will need the mass-storage driver for Windows 7. For the driver you got from Windows 8.1, what was the filename and/or hardware ID?
  5. I am not able to recreate the crash.

  7. Concerning SRWare Iron, were the full installed used or portable versions?
  8. Topic split. Edit the title as appropriate. A good start would be to use ProcMon to record what is done. You'll want to create a log for each scenario: - old version - new version Whereas in each, you must determine the same amount of steps to the crash. So if doing x in new version causes the crash, then do the same exact steps in the old one. Then *maybe* it can be determined what is different. There is an inherent problem with this approach, it may require multiple retesting. I may be able to try to recreate it myself later in the week.
  9. I currently have no need of Windows 10 for anything. Before building my new computer, I had checked and there was no games that absolutely required Windows 10 or DX12. Also, I am not a fan of doing in-place upgrades on OSes. They always seem to be a headache in one way or another.
  10. My first thought was that perhaps these programs need this update: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3118401 Which is in the first post list. After going through the list, there seems to be 4 types of updates: 1. updates that help the OS upgrade to 10 2. updates that add telemetry 3. updates that update Windows Update 4. updates that allow "windows 10 programs" to run on earlier OSes. That last one I think needs to be scrutinized, as most software writers are not making a Windows 7 vs Windows 10 version of their software. They are just making a Windows version. So some of these updates that fit into the fourth category may be required eventually as software makers add Windows 10 support to their Windows software.
  11. Duplicate thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/175612-windows-script-host-80070422/
  12. Secondary color choice changes url (a tag) item colors. For example, if you pick your secondary to be marble, any link will just appear to be underlined text, because this changes link/url/a to be the same color as the regular text color. Otherwise its good.
  13. See 2nd comment on this relatable bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590913 In other words, you can usually ignore ieshims.dll dependency missing message.
  14. I'm currently using v11.0.0.1177 and that download I found on the 6th gen NUC support pages on Intel's site. For example: NUC6i3SYH
  15. It was in the version before this one. You could click a paintbrush and choose from 8 or so colors to retheme the site. I remember that red was more like pink, and that I used black and green for awhile.
  16. Do you mean that paintbrush at the top that would change the color?
  17. I had imagined the Y cutoff was the top of a paper shredder.
  18. It looks the same to me. A screenshot would help tremendously, as the exact color can be determined that you are seeing. Just make sure the image isn't compressed because it will change the colors.
  19. That is a horrible graph. Each line is proportionate with each other. 1% is 66px if comparing March (172px) and April (106px) however the zero point on the Y axis is actually closer to 1352.6px! The graph not being in scale, it it were to be put into scale (with a theoretical Y maximum of 25.5%) the image height would not be 420px but ~1772px. So this also means that the column shadows are incorrect! For shame, Digital Analytics Program!
  20. Interesting, of my 11 subscribed threads, all but 5 of them are now set for immediate notification. None of my sub threads have been posted in since 2015, so I don't know when this change happened. To change them, you have checkboxes on the right side of the thread list. Check each one you want to change. On the pop up thing, click the Bell icon with the arrow and choose the notification level you want.
  21. Windows Update on Vista and Windows 7 has been increasingly unreliable in recent months. On new installations I've been seeing either it being stuck on "checking" for 10-18 hours, or it to say there are no updates or a what you posted. MS changed something on Windows Update sometime last year.
  22. Quoted portion of first post, [redacted] was the old link, which no longer was linking to the content as described.
  23. They both do. They are using a standard method, for example you can see it mentioned in bold where it says Connexion chiffree. The web server may use a specific standard, and the browser supports multiple standards. When the browser goes to the site, it will inform that it will be using x type of connection. The browser understands how to communicate in this way and then the two ends can talk. So it stands to reason that an outdated browser may not work properly, if at all, with a website using a modern form of encryption. This is likely why you hear about some websites outright blocking older browsers from connecting to them, or displaying broken content or a blank screen.
  24. 2. 32bit installations go into Program Files (x86) while 64bit go into Program Files. I don't know why they decided to go this route rather than making the new folder Program Files (x64). 3. Try it and find out.
  25. Is your issue exactly as described in the hotfix description? It says this is for folders with (for example) 5000+ files in it.
