General Computer Support / Re: Win 11 Every external hard drive I try to use won't allow me to add files

@OhLiz:

After I tried to fix the external the external drive doesn't appear on the disk management

What does that mean?  What specifically did you do to "fix" the external drive?

The problem that I see looking at your first screen image is that you are trying to copy too much at one time.  Your C: drive is full, so there is virtually no space for the creation of the temporary files needed to complete the copy operation.  Moreover, you want to move the files to the external drive, not just copy them, if you hope to free up space on your C: drive.

Good luck.  Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

A clean and ready 1TB external drive can only take a few files the message I get says there isn't enough space showing the C: OS but its clearly the E drive I've tried everything I know. I'm sleep deprived and can't function well enough to work this out. The laptop drive is so full I need to put my files on the external drive so it can function properly again. After I tried to fix the external the external drive doesn't appear on the disk management

Have you tried installing it in safe mode with networking as your av program could be blocking it.

General Computer Support / Need help importing account to Betterbird Email

Hello to everyone!

I use an email clone of Mozilla Thunderbird named Betterbird.

To make a long story short:
1. over time my PC became unstable losing Updates capability.
2. My Email Provider, Outlook.com changed itself (See pics).

See here for all Mozilla-related info: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/search/469613/?c[users]=DonB&o=date

Thanks, Don

Feedback & Suggestions / Re: Is The Forum Open to New Members?

@mecanicogolf:

The Tweaking.com website is alive.  I did not say that it wasn't.  I did say that there is no evidence to suggest that the Windows Repair program is being kept updated, so therefore, in my opinion, it is dangerous to use it on Windows 11 computers, and it could be dangerous for those running Window 10 with current updates.  Windows updates are constantly modifying how those versions of Windows function, so any repair program has to be constantly updated to be safe to use.  There are reports on other Forums from users who ran into serious issues using Windows Repair on those two versions of Windows.

When Shane was with the company, he was issuing one or two updates per month to keep Windows Repair working properly and safely.  From what I know, the new owner(s) has/have not updated Windows Repair since Shane a year and a half ago.  Draw your own conclusions!  The new company still have free and paid versions available for download on the Tweaking.com website.

Perhaps a representative of the new owner(s) would comment here, on their own Forums, to end the speculation and explain the true state of the  Windows Repair program and whether it is still safe to use . . .

Perhaps that representative would also inform us when their Forums will be accepting new members . . .  I am speculating that they don't want new members complaining about possible issues with the Windows Repair program, so the Forums are almost totally locked down, and only us old-timers can still post here, . . . for now.  There has not been a new member since September 2023, yet these Forums are drawing a lot of guests 24/7, based on the stats shown on the main Forum page.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

I had no idea until now that tweaking.com had died and that Shane had left. I have uninstalled the program and do not use it anymore. Thanks for the heads up.

Tom,

Thanks for your reply.  Yes, you are still listed as a "Global Moderator."  Just now I checked, and the site has 6,376 Guests, and one member (me).  Some of those guests will be bots, but I think the issue is that the Forums seem to locked down somehow, and no one new can join.

I think we can post because we are old-timers.  You should check with the new owners of Tweaking.  Apparently, they have little to no interest in these Forums.  The last new member was back in September 2023, almost two years ago.

Maybe the new owners don't want to open the Forums for the barrage of complaints that might result . . .  Just speculating.

Do you know whether your Moderator authorities are intact?  Have you checked?

In the first part of the year, someone was occasionally unlocking the Forum for a week or so at a time, and it flooded spam.  Then, periodically, the spam would be gone, and Forums locked down again.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil
