I would be guessing you are asking about http://www.responsivefilemanager.com/support.php and the problems it has.
The fact the site has many year old support questions may mean it's either perfect or abandoned.

However, I find no Windows PCs to work the same today. Folk install different browsers, change settings, some have overreaching antivirus suites, firewalls, different DNS or CDNs and this leave you the challenge of debugging what happened this time.

Good to read you are working on the issues. Here's more about my PC Medic Bag.

When I know I'm going to be working on PC problems I have my PC Medic Bag. Inside are a collection of things I find I use a lot. In there is the USB DVDRW drive, USB WiFI sticks, the W10 Home/Pro 64 Bit OS from Microsoft's Media Creation Kit, some screwdrivers, cutters, electrical tape, USB to MicroUSB cable and all important set of Linux OSes on optical and USB sticks. That last item is a life save when folk blow up the OS and want to get files out.

Item by item from your top list and what I might do.

1. My Logitech webcam (C260) has become non-operational.
   This not only might take you finding the webcam drivers but be sure your motherboard chipset driver is current. Remember what I wrote about this area being stressful to some. Also, I know to try the camera on my laptop for a test as well as the rear USB ports on desktops (long story why.)

2. My DVD drive stopped reading disks.
   I pull out my USB DVDRW to test if there is a drive issue.

3. Assorted problems turned up in my "office 2007" programs--most specifically, "Outlook" for mailings.
   This is a harder one to explain. Outlook's datastore has to be found and in outlook (some menu somewhere), Outlook has to be told to use that datastore …

@dongtrien.

I agree you need to just supply information as most will not download your files.

I found no authoritative answer but this seems to be the answer (quote and link follows.)

From the original post information they had a Hex value of 2A314 which equals decimal 172820 - which is the size of the file they list in bytes. My test file was a hex value of 1B32F48 and is 28,520,264 bytes.

From https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/10442e93-1ae6-4bb1-8693-d476916f5292/windows-compatibility-setting-for-removable-media-questions?forum=windowscompatibility

Small world. A friend had some similar issues but they worked with me and most if not all issues were cured. Their DVDRW drive was very old and slipping a new drive in fixed it. I'm finding folk blame W10 for the old drive failing and do not agree here. In this case the old drive showed problems on another W7 PC so it was clear the 20 dollar DVDRW drive is failing.

As to any file loss most of the time I find the owner does not have backups. That is strange because for decades we've been using PCs and not one OS has been without the need for backups. Well, maybe that Chrome OS?

-> But here's a thing. Drivers are still too hard for everyday users to deal with. Just last night I was at a relative's home and they couldn't print. Another family member had tried over the phone, failed and Geeksquad said all the laptops and printer were fine.

What was it? I don't know because I treated it like a new setup. I went to the printer to pair it to the WiFi network then to the non-printing laptop to remove all printers, install the latest printer driver and it just worked. While I am used to doing this, average Joe/Jane computer owner is lost.

So should we expect owners to keep learning or should we continue with calling in techs to fix our systems in home? I think this is our choice to …

"This just in"

I wanted to update my reply as some discussions gave me a new look into blogs. Not that it gave any new life to old school (what?) blogs but what folk are following it seems or YouTube blogs. Here's one that is a good example that would not work as a classic blog.

Hello it's everyone's favorite copyright attorney, Leonard French.

The weight of the subject matter Mr. French covers would sink a blog, but this works.

It appears you are branching into a new idea. https://github.com/mgmacias95/Flower-Recognition for example went down another path.

This is only the lesson about saving often and to enable backup copies.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/362mme/jesus_and_the_devil_are_having_a_contest_on/ again if you missed it.

However there are spammers that will take the trouble to not help you with Corel file recover.com replies. They are just the devil's workers in disguise.

Remember I'm not an expert on this but category would matter (read that first link) and about your script, I don't see code here so no one can see much yet.

That aside I'm running into web masters (?) that try to get by with copying in scripts and templates. They often are unable to see what's wrong in the code. Lesson, many. If you run a script, you should have some idea how it works at the very least. Many have scripts they used and only look after it fails... You get the idea.

Sounds fine. Now test but verify. You don't have that much code there. In the time you worked this out here, you should have your code on the target and timed.

OK, so I thought if mobile was off, how about a Chromebook? Now that's really looped. There are so many things that don't work right that it's not going to help if I list them all. This reply may not work unless it shows up.

But on the Chromebook there are no signs at all of the up vote. Not asking for this to be fixed either. Just it's interesting to see how sites deal with the Chromebook.

Who is Frien? Anyhow it appears you are posting widely. But searching seems to find a tutorial. So moving on.

You have a lot of stuff to read, and more work ahead of you.

I think this a near perfect example of why we need to setup our PHP debugger. Read from https://www.google.com/search?q=php+debugger and then get yours setup so you can find where it fails.

Try this. Show a hand converted file so folk can see your expected input and expected output.

Then break down the steps from reading your input file, to writing your output file.

You claim I'm making it difficult but you didn't writely clearly what you wanted to do and then, well, we've gone over that.

-> Think about your systems analysis class. That's where we covered how to map out the problem, break it down to steps then head to code to implement those steps.

" I'm not sure how to code the next field in that XML "

Neither am I because in your post you have mixed terms. When you wrote "write from that file." That's where I can't be sure what you want to do. For XML we can write to a file, we read from a file but you wrote something else and now you add more to this by "how to code the next field" before you clear up what you really wanted to do.

I have to think you think and write in another language. Try clearing up what you really wanted to do.

I worry that something is lost in translation. You supplied some XML. Fine but then you write you want to "write from that file." I was under the impression you wanted to read attributes (or values.) For this converstation my lexicon is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML

So "write from that file" again sounds like another lost in translation. If only you had written "write to that file" then this almost lines up with your code in which you appear to be trying to write to an XML file.

If you want to write XML files, why not say that? Then folk can offer ideas about the XMLWriter class and so on.

I'm unsure what line 31 is for. Besides what I'm reading on https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3f7c1d0a-2667-4023-908e-731c358bf53c/error-on-xmlresponse?forum=csharpgeneral a google search seems you are posting across the web. No rule against that but it appears something is missing in those posts too.

Then I read "I'm not sure how to do this." Let's read the following FIRST -> https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

The code above doesn't seem to "select" at all. Maybe something lost in translation? When I select words or lines in Word, these are highlighted. But I don't see any GUI above so maybe this is you speaking as selecting in a database? But this needs to be cleared up by you telling more.

It may be time for the course to be updated. At least you now know why companies leak personal information. Folk were taught badly.

I see. You can't find where the seed is fed to the Mingw system. Before I broach that subject, I tend to never duplicate priors like:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18880654/why-do-i-get-the-same-sequence-for-every-run-with-stdrandom-device-with-mingw

So where is the function you might be searching for in Mingw? Try srandom() found at:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-tclx/random.c

As to BTDT (been there done that) some analysis we did required different spreads of the random population. Linear, bell shaped, etc. In the end we wrote a few custom RNGs. This is why I wrote when you can't use stock, make your own.

While you can work out how to share more about this break screen/message I want to write about a basic design flaw.

Never store those passwords. This is exactly why so many sites get into trouble so quickly. You never store the password, but it's salted encrypted value. This is well discussed and you never want to teach storing of the password or accept it in an assignment or solution.

More at https://www.google.com/search?q=never+store+the+password+in+a+database

About the value that persists. In your form.open or method that fires when the form gets shown, you add code to change those variables to blank or set the input box contents to blank. This is not automatic. You code this.

I'm going to not write much about this but move past (try to keep up) and note you do not need to wait the 1 second. Let's say you know you want to wait 1,2,3,4 etc. Just use that as your seed number without the wait.

" Advice I've read says to only seed the randomization once. "
That's correct and it sounds like you are starting to understand how the usual random() works. Here's the deal. If stock doesn't work for you, then you write your own.

PS. Not to sound short but BTDT, lots of prior discussions to draw on so I'll note when stock won't do, make your own.
Also, so many write "it's not random" so they need to create what they think is random.

Have to write yes but I was under the impression you didn't have a Facebook sponsored game.

Speccy reading.

1. AMD FX-8320: 79 °C
   That's toasty for what looks like a light load. Nod to the million mile service (clean all heatsinks and replace all heatsink compound on all heatsinks. I mean it. ALL.) Check fans, replace slow and failed ones.

2. Windows 10 - Here it's great. But turn this off:
   Read https://www.howtogeek.com/224981/how-to-stop-windows-10-from-uploading-updates-to-other-pcs-over-the-internet/

3. 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3
   That's an odd choice. Dual channel will get you more out the CPU and help memory to GPU transfers. Cheaper than a new PC, CPU, GPU.

4. Teamviewer. Can you eject or stop for now?

All in all pretty clean but that CPU is hot.

Any chance of a web speccy report? It tells me a lot about age, temps, what's running, bios version, HDD health and so on.

Without that I have to go with the most common parts we replace. You already did the PSU and why that helps is the new PSU gives bettery quality power (less ripple, etc.) So the motherboard and its aged electrolytic capacitors don't have to work as hard. But under load still may lock up. If it just powers down, it could be heat. Try it with the cover off and a fan pointing at the machine. If that helps then it's time for the million mile work over. Deep clean heatsinks, replace all heatsink compound and replace slow or failed fans.

Remember this is your typical AMD system that hits repair counters all over. After the PSU the motherboard is suspect. You usually find this after a few years of hard use. The owners want proof and if you have the board you offer the fix for a price. If they don't you return it with a note about the motherboard plus the CPU and maybe RAM. No reason to estimate less than this.

Added with edit: Your details are not complete. I missed if there are other issues like high heat, slow fans or heatsink compound from year ago. A better diag for me is a Web Speccy. Read how at https://www.piriform.com/docs/speccy/using-speccy/publishing-a-speccy-profile-to-the-web

Actually the link I gave told us to check out "Category." "In the Facebook application, what is the value for 'Category'?" - in link.

I'm no expert on this but I did read https://www.sourcecoast.com/forums/jfbconnect/jfbconnect-joomla-3x-support/10575-fb-request-showing-error-game-requests-are-only-available-to-games and it appears there are requirements about the Category, the canvas app and now certificates. Some of these you'll know what to do. But to have others dissect what's up, I bet you'll have to share your FB link.

My thinking on this is this:

Message boxes are for simple interaction.
Dialog boxes are for more complex but simple interaction.
Anything more and it's a "form" or new screen where you have full control.

In other words, you scale up to what the solottion calls for.

On another subject, get your web master to tell you why there are currently about 20 errors at your site.

This is usually due to someone in a hurry or something else.

I know a lot of folk hate using product manuals. I'll quote them and leave it at that.

-> I think you got it done.

The manual wrote "Disabled, which disables the 5 .0 GHz band on this router"

You're very close to done.

You are right. There are few controls "on" the router. For control we usually point a web browser at the router, log in and configure.

The product manual is at https://www.linksys.com/us/support-product?pid=01t80000003KRTzAAO and small world, I have setup this model in the past.

I found your Facebook in #1 position with web design jakarta. advance web studio or
https://www.google.com/search?q=web+design+jakarta.+advance+web+studio&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

So you have that going for you.

I have to ask why you don't configure the router's radio to "OFF." Every router I've configured over the past 2 decades has this.

The same way you did. Again, it's only an estimate and won't match reality. But if you come up wiht a high and low, reality will be somewhere in between.

This can really upset folk that want more than an estimate.

Daron, I think I didn't write loudly enough that you can use this to ESTIMATE the low and high running time.

Why this is good enough is that it gives us a view on if the time is good enough to deploy the solution or not.

Example: An astoroid is going to strike Earth. You can launch now and the on board computer can calculate updates to the correct course while it lifts off but if your estimate is that it can't finish a calculation in time, then you know to not launch and refine your code or compute while on the ground.

It's an estimate. Since you claim it is in Java, you can't solve this but can ESTIMATE. I didn't read your textbook because it's your homework.

Here you asked a good enough question and I don't mind writing how to ESTIMATE the time the app might take. I've been down this road (estimates) before and know we can get a low and high time estimate.

Do you realize now that to "solve" this takes much more than what you asked here? And that the "solution" (exact time cost or run time) will change not only with the target hardware but also as you change Java versions?

Until you accept it's an estimate you may be forever searching for the answer.

That's it. As to the Tna and Ta you are right that system hardware and Java versions will affect the times but here's the rub. It's just an estimate. It will never match all systems and since you don't know if data set you have to take the range of time from a minimum to a maximum. So in the end you'll get a low and high time span.

Anyone that wants the exact time value hasn't thought this through.

Sure. The first line (next time don't use a graphic dump, use text in the code block) is the for loop of a million loops. So you know a multiplier of what you'll guess the time cost of what's inside the loop will be times that.

Now continue to the next line in the loop and give it your ESTIMATED time cost and multiply it by that loop count.

Try this. Take line of code and assign the time cost to it. For a loop, you put that into say a spreadsheet and for each item in the for loop, you assign the time cost for each operation and then multiply it out by the iteration of the loop.

It's very important you understand this is simply an estimate and not going to be exactly what it measures on the hardware.

On top of that, you asked about Java. Now that's a horse of another color as the Jave runtime can change and your times may change.
So again, you are simply estimating. If you get too hung up on being right, you'll never get out of first gear.

You have the formula so what is the result?
How does this compare with your real world test?

Are they close?

Here's the thing. You can't do that without nailing down the compiler, compiler switches (optimizations) and more.

You can however ESTIMATE it but as you can guess, ESTIMATES are just that and the real numbers never match.

Do you know why the ESTIMATE doesn't match a REAL test?

Another method from my days of schmatic drawing. Trying in ASCII.

<-----/----->

To show an electrical bus you would draw one line that had the slash and the number notating how many lines were in the bus.
See "Bus" at http://www.rapidtables.com/electric/electrical_symbols.htm

How about cheating? It's clear you are going to have to check if the new line has been drawn before. And here's what may be a cheat.

Change the line draw to a rectangle with fill. If the lines are just vertical and horizontal the rectangle with the fill or texture pattern would be pretty easy. Nod to http://zetcode.com/gfx/java2d/shapesandfills/

OK so as your rectangle width increases then the texture patern might have more lines.

As to supporting all possible angles, this would be a matter of rotating the fill pattern and using that pattern.

-> Not saying this is the best solution but wanted to share my thought of a dirty fix.

Welcome. As this is your first post, read this so you can share where you are stuck. If you are looking to hire or outsource, the forum for that is at https://www.daniweb.com/community-center/for-hire-hiring/52

Now about how to get help, read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question so you know how this place works.

Finally have a chat with your webmaster about all the errors at https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fsaveit.pk%2F

Could be right. Read all the files folk edit at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17946150/apache-is-not-running-from-xampp-control-panel-error-apache-shutdown-unexpect and what may need to be restarted.

Don't rely on control panels. Read the source.
