In x32Win10ProV22H2, I have a scheduled task which is meant to take and save a screenshot of the desktop while the Task Bar is UNhidden. It performs quite unreliably – the Task Bar may or may not get captured by Snippingtool. How can I make it reliable ? If I remember correctly, the reason for...

In my x32Win10ProV22H2 desktop tower, I have SATA-connected drives whose power can be switched ON (and OFF) as required. The BIOS has been set to AHCI, so all connected drives should be 'hot-swapable' [or whatever the CORRECT term for that is]. Yet from time to time, newly connected (i.e. newly...

How to prevent an alert about IDM at bootup of x32Win10ProV22H2 ? I'm guessing some Registry tweak might do it. It says "Some application has damaged IDM integration into browsers". Manually I can just close that window, so one option would be an automated procedure for closing that window, but...

I replaced the motherboard of a x32Win10ProV22H2 PC with one that had the same code specification, but now the optical scanner (which still works in another PC) will no longer work here; nor would several different other WORKING scanners. What they have in common is...

I still have a PC-Linq 'bridging - cross-over' cable that used to allow data transfer between 98E and XP in a user-friendly and effective way. I would like to use it between Win10 PCs. There is a 2018 post on the web https://answers.informer.com/162205/is-pc-linq-really-working-with-windows-10...

I have devised a procedure in Macro Express that replaces a (short) series of mouse clicks (in Chrome). It sometimes works, and at other times does not, so it is unreliable. I have NO IDEA what causes the failures. I am wondering what macro program produces RELIABLE results.

A very useful program (SendLeap) in the form of an App in Chrome, has become less easy to open because its SSL certificate has expired. I happened to have a clone of my system in which the Gatekeeper had not become aware of the expiry, and the App still works as desired. So whatever the...

PushBullet no longer opens reliably at Windows Startup. If I end its multiple entries in Task Manager's Background Processes, then clicking on the StartUp shortcut becomes effective. So I need a batchfile (?) that checks for those multiple entries in Task Manager's Background Processes, and ends...

My Firefox in x64Win10ProV21H1 would not open the functional window that I expect after clicking on 'Show All Bookmarks'; eventually I used Revo Uninstaller to remove it, and installed Firefox v89. Since that did not fix the problem, I used Revo again to uninstall it, and also deleted all the...

Windows Explorer in x32Win10ProV21H1 is showing a CDrom icon for USB sticks or one of the partitions of large drive. I know how to correct the icon by means of an autorun.bat, but I want to avoid the error in the first place.

When Windows Explorer opens the THIS PC screen in x32Win10ProV20H2, very often it does not fully populate. The right pane may be empty, or lack only the entry for the system drive – correspondingly the left (Navigation) pane will lack the entry for the system drive. After a while 'not...

USB fax unit connected to a Win8.1 desktop. All seems to go well [in contrast to previous attempts where step by step I overcame numerous obstacles). The fax was the ONLY [and first] connection to the landline. The 'unexpected error' message comes after 'sending first page'.

Windows allows very little choice as to location and size of desktop wallpaper, whereas Active Desktop Calendar has a feature whereby an image of one's choice and be 'deployed' in ANY location on a desktop, as a wallpaper/background. Does anyone know of a program that confines it self to THAT...

I have a small 'boot' partition on a large hard drive and several large 'data' partitions. I would like to set the checkdisk of each 'data' partition in turn, to automatically start on the next partition when the checkdisk of the 'previous' partition has finished. I have not been able to use...

When I am finished with internetting I want to close ALL programs associated with internetting. I can do that by batch file using ENDPROCESS for all except the firewall. Since Sygate does not have an entry in WinMe's Task Manager, I can not close it with ENDPROCESS. Procrecon CAN close Sygate...

Is there an alternative to rebooting, when a mouse cursor 'freezes'?

If I want to email PART of an html page, I cannot paste it into the email unless I paste it into WORD first, then re-copy and paste into OutLook Express. I'd like to know why, and also if there is a work-around.

It seems that my Firefox has been hijacked by http://au.yhs.search.yahoo.com/avg/search?fr=yhs-avg&type=yahoo_avg_hs2-t-web_au&p=au.yhs.search.yahoo.com It causes disablement - maybe because there is a conflict between it and my chosen home page, which is STILL showing as the one I chose...
