Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Program is a steaming pile

« on: April 29, 2021, 04:09:37 PM »

Well - considering you are the only one in many years to report this issue, I'm gonna guess it's something to do with your system and likely a result of what brought you to use the software to begin with.

Resetting the recycle bin is easy and a common issue with windows.  Feel free to google it.

The easiest is :
Running command prompt as admin and entering 'rd /s /q D:\$Recycle.b' (assuming windows 10)

Hope you have a better day.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Remote Desktop IP Monitor -- SYN_RCVD and ESTABLISHED

« on: April 23, 2021, 05:57:47 AM »

Hard to say exactly. I looked at the ips and didn't noticed anything that looked like they were related accecpt that they seem portable. So I susecpt legit. SYN typically is looking to establish a connection once the ack is sent back - then the established sent. That doesn't mean that there is a physical connection - just that the two acknowledge they exists.

 If I had to guess you have software - like ours - looking to verify ownership
. But I'll look into it further.

Are they always the same iPs?

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: why does saving my jpg get saved as a dib?

« on: February 03, 2019, 02:37:05 PM »

Hmmm... OK. .dib is really a .bmp .

So at least we know that paint thinks it is actually an image.

I found this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/299953/you-may-be-unable-to-save-jpg-files-with-microsoft-paint-after-you-ins

I suspect that is the problem and an easy fix if need be.

It could be an issue with your shadow copy service. Did you try selecting the fall back option?

General Computer Support / Re: Which partitions to keep when cloning with Macrium

« on: December 01, 2018, 04:46:25 PM »

Always back up all your partitions if possible.  I mean frankly, you do not NEED them, as long ad C: and D: are perfect - but they may not be. Plus, the manufacturer put those there for a reason.  You have to have the efi to boot.


As for merging -- I was surprised to see such a large partition but it seems it is necessary per the acer community. https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/546513/what-is-in-the-1gb-recovery-partition

according to Lenovo (found with a search) this can happen when you do a system restore. The fix is to unprotect the missing version and delete it.   I've never done it, but it makes sense.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Repair Reparse Points doesn't repair

« on: November 14, 2018, 05:13:52 PM »

You can most likely ignore that.  It could be a number of things. sometimes naming convention, sometimes something wrong in an ini file pointing to the worng place - that can be a bear to hunt down.

If the programs are fine. I'd ignore.
So long as the drive is fine and there are no other issues.

Or you can do something like move Running Repair on C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV (1) to another drive and rename it to RecordedTV - and it should work fine.

« on: November 05, 2018, 02:39:14 PM »

Another thing to try. I have no done this but it come from microsoft support.

That error looks like it is do to a bad update of windows - which is what could have lead you to us to begin with.

The solution is to "Please navigate to this location. C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log.
Delete the 'edb' log file and reboot the computer and check the issue."

That seems a tad too simple - but stranger things happen.

Have you tried unplugging the drive extra drives? Is the machine fast then? This one smells like a bad drive from here>

The logs are here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Tweaking.com\Windows Repair (All in One)\Logs

It would be good to look at them.


The backups are at c:\regbackup. Anything there?

Looking into it. 

We've had issues with developers editions locking into safe mode - but frankly calling safe mode is calling is the same.  Our program will undo that command.

I 'm not doubting, I'm just saying it makes little sense. I am wonder if 1809 somehow handles the undo differently - but .. that seems odd.

Have to do some testing.

The curse of every small developer is the virus scan. Truth is most are based on old information and do a horrid job on new files - hence anything that isn't already on a list of known apps and be detected whether they are a virus or not.. This is called false positives. Frankly I see more false positives than real detections. But it's a scam to make you feel good about them doing a bad job.


I susect the problem came form our last release as it was "new" but there are no detection at all on this file currently.

I think you mean the window view. If you look wat down on the bottom right of the window there should be two icons to change the view. Otherwise right click in the window and click VIEW to choose the one you want.

« on: October 01, 2018, 06:46:36 PM »

I'd like to see a copy of that autorun.

I cant think of anything that would do that off hand. I mean I am assuming there were different file types and that you didn't type del *.exe /s someplace.

So if the program said there was nothing deleted and you didn't delete them., they are there. Somehow.

If you right click on the folder that holds everything - are you sure that idf you look at the security tab that the permissions are correct for read and write?

Sorry for the delay - was out of town.

If you run msconfig and select the boot tab … then click "base video" it should boot correctly in safe mode.

« on: July 26, 2018, 01:44:30 PM »

The program pulls form system variables for the reparse points so you should be fine - however spreading the system over three drives is different and I would maybe not use the reparse point feature going forward.  We can however fix them manually if there is an issue.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: WR 4.023 The "Safe mode" repair does not work

« on: July 19, 2018, 05:44:53 PM »

if you boot into windows and run 'msconfig' there is an option to select "safe boot". Click that and reboot and you should come into safe mode.

The tweaking program also has an option to force safe mode.
