Feedback & Suggestions / Trivial problem!
« on: January 24, 2016, 01:51:15 pm »
I recently came across an article in ComputerActive magazine, here in UK, reviewing Windows Repair - and, having a few small 'funnies' on my system, decided to give it a try.

On logging on, I was delighted to see the 'Tweaking.com' logo, having had brilliant help from you, before.

This is to report a) all my little problems seem to have been eliminated, but b) one trivial bug has seemingly appeared.

I spend a certain amount of time each day playing Freecell, MahJong, SpiderSolitaire and Solitaire, the windows Games.

With MahJong, if a 1) start a game, 2) close down mid-way through, using 'Save' to store the game, 3) later fire up Mahjong again, and choose to re-open the Saved game, 4) finish the game successfully, then 5) later, open MahJong again, the unexpected happens.  The game offers me the 'Re-open saved game' option, and if i take it, presents me with the game in the state it was at step 3).  Normally, closing a 'Saved and recovered' game clears the saved game.

Before running Windows Repair, I never remember it presenting the stored, uncleared game in these circumstances. (It may have started doing it, but if so, I never noticed it - in other words, I cannot definitively say the fault hadn't arisen before WIndows Repair, but I don't think it had.)  I can't yet say if the same happens with the other games.

As bugs go, this is trivial.  I report it mainly in case it indicates some deeper thing that needs attention.

Feedback & Suggestions / Impressive job - many thanks

I had a tricky problem - a virus had destroyed several functions, including File and Printer Sharing.  I'd sought help - but not got any.

Then, an article in a UK computer magazine lead me to Tweaking.com.  The 'Windows Repair' program here fixed most of my problems, and Shane, (Thanks, Shane) came in, and fixed the remainder. 

I'm delighted to know that, in helping me, he has been able to improve Windows Repair even further.

Impressive!!

General Computer Support / Partial Success - is now COMPLETE success!!

I had multiple problems - the main ones being -

1) Windows Update wouldn't work - 'Unknown Error'
2) Windows Firewall unavailable
3) File sharing unavailable
4) Printer sharing unavailable

The first two are now cured.  The last two, not.  When I try to set them ON in Network and Sharing Center it just fails to happen.  Stays OFF.

Ironically, it was printer sharing I most missed!  I'd love to get it back again (as would my wife, from her computer on our LAN).
