Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by rproffitt "I allocated a C partition and formatted as NTFS then boot back into my Windows 11 install USB." That can derail the usual Windows install. On today's PCs I start off with a blank, no partition drive, boot the Windows USB stick and once in a while need to add the Intel RST storage driver. I maintain that Microsoft should update … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by toneewa If the power connector was replaced with the motherboard, then your charging cord is suspect. If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated). Imaging back to this would fail. Always check in your BIOS to see if your drives shows up there. If you're setup in UEFI mode, instead of … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim Likewise... Whenever I reinstall Windows, other than the times I've reset to factory, when it gets to the "where do you want to install to" I always get the installer to delete, then recreate the partition. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim Got my laptop back from Best Buy this afternoon. I checked the power cord connection at the store and it was fine. I wish I'd checked it further because I started having problems as soon as I got it home and powered up. First of all, they replaced the motherboard so when I got it back it had been wiped and reset.

I found that the wxpython package was far better than tkinter. wxpython is based on wxwidgets which is essentially windows controls. Because wxwidgets are compiled for each major system, controls rendered by wxpython look like the native controls for whatever system is hosting. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by rproffitt https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1044458/ notes the Intel RST as well. As to BB/GS, I've found them hit or miss on this area.

Programming Web Development by rproffitt This is now something we might see if some site is not maintained. You contact the web master and ask them to fix it.

Re: how converte C to VB6? Programming Software Development by Reverend Jim I always recommend ditching VB6. It is super old technology. If you were using Python 2.x I would also advise moving to Python 3.x for the same reason. If you stick with the old you will be left behind. If I were a potential employer I would not hire anyone who only worked in old tech except for the very rare case when it is required to maintain … Re: VB6 and Windows 11 Programming by wolfnero How you fix the taskbar flickering? Problem with the external hard drive Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Ryan Morgan Hello, I have encountered an unpleasant event. My external hard drive has stopped working. The disc is no longer readable . When I connect the disc to my computer, the system asks me to format it. There are very important files on the disc. Does anyone know how to help me? Re: Problem with the external hard drive Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by rproffitt If this is your first foray into data recovery, it's best to send it to data recovery shops. Any do-it-yourself or recovery apps are never a sure thing. You can try RECUVA but sometimes folk balk that it doesn't FIX the drive. No data recovery app should write to said drive. It should only recover or copy files out.

I've had that happen with two different external hard drives over the years ... both were LaCie drives from a very long time ago.
