Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Envelope Printer Not Aligning Properly
« on: May 11, 2017, 05:58:48 pm »
My best guess here is it is printer driver related - not program related.
That is hard to diagnose here.
What I would try is change the position offset. The easier way to do that is to click the "print preview" and double click on the screen somewhere to the left. That will force the address to move where you want it.

General Computer Support / Re: Can't connect phone to laptop for file transfer
« on: May 04, 2017, 04:24:08 pm »
I know this will sound weird, but I would wager it is a cable problem.
I have seen this a number of times with different phones - even my old s3. If you are using the cable that came with the phone - swap it and see if it works. OR, find the cable that came with the phone and see if it works.

General Computer Support / Re: Windows XP Computer Locks Up at Windows Screen
« on: April 21, 2017, 02:22:54 pm »
if it boots into safe mode - that's great because you can back up and get your data. (so do that)
That also means XP works but something in the startup does not.
Second run msconfig - disable anything that you do not 100% need. That may be the issue.
if that doesn;t work you have to start looking at drivers.

My best guess would be the driver as well - for the BSOD.
The jittery mouse may very well be from an overloaded system. Have you looked at like task manager to see the cpu usage and memory usage while downloading?

« on: April 13, 2017, 09:07:14 am »
Without knowing much about the machine, it's hard to say the best course. The hash mismatch either indicates a corrupt file or possibly a virus.
I am assuming the machine is not running well otherwise there would have been no deed for the repair tool.
If you have eliminated viral issues - I would look at the link below and go with suggested method to - then re-run sfc

General Computer Support / Re: Reinstalling Virtual PC and Virtual XP
« on: April 04, 2017, 02:10:10 pm »
Hmm.. I used that once or twice several years ago, so I'm no expert. However I found this > https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681616(v=ws.10).aspx
It doesn't look like its as hard as you described. So maybe it is not the same thing, but it does indicate uninstalling the old version is best.
Another way you may go about it is to install xpmode
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8002
that executable will prompt you for the Microsoft VM (I think) but you dont need it, if that is giving you the issue. Install that, then get Vmware player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/playerpro-evaluation.html install that and do file>import>xpmode.

OK - I;ve never heard of this one before, but hey... Every day brings something new.
1st. The rg tweak for notepad is is a pretty simple one, but instead of me typing it out. Here;s a good article on how to do it manually.
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-open-with-notepad-to-the-context-menu-for-all-files/
Is the correct entry there?
After that clikc start >> Run >> and type msconfig in the box. Then enter. Click the startup tab. Anything in there say noetpad?

General Computer Support / Re: Registry Backup- Failed
« on: April 03, 2017, 05:21:46 pm »
It could be something on your system that doesn;t like the shadow copy backup (best way)
When you click for a backup , that starts automatically. There is a button for "Use Fallback Method" Click that and see if that helps.

General Computer Support / Re: Stopping W7 from asking "Allow Program Execution" on every program
« on: March 17, 2017, 06:48:41 am »
Basically - you need to create a scheduled task with admin privileges and then create a shortcut to that task. VLC may be doing that. I don;t know that for sure, but maybe. Here is how.

« on: March 13, 2017, 02:31:21 pm »
It's not necessarily true that with an AV working with one thing would work with another. It could simply have whitelisted one but not us or for some reason, it may be setting off something heuristically. It may simply be your av does want things running in a virtual machine that it cant control.
When the backup runs, there is an option for the fallback option. That doesn;t use VSS. Does that work?
Also, what AV do you use?
Thanks!
Jim

WCIFS is the Windows Container Isolation File System. Most likely your AV software is hooked in and causing the issue.
