Hey, thanks! The DDU actually worked. The reinstall of the drivers had a couple of glitches, but I clicked thru and it all worked out. The 'Nvidia Control Panel' now works. Thanks again, much appreciated! (y)

I have been trying and trying to do a clean install of my Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 SE video card, to no avail. I have utilized numerous Google searches and links, but still cannot get it right. In the end, the 'Nvidia Control Panel' always remains inoperable (it used to work, but something...

Ordered. Many thanks! (y)

I have a 10-year old Gigabyte mobo GA-H87-D3H, running Win 7 Pro 64-bit. It is a great computer for my uses (no gaming). But only has 8GB RAM in one stick. I would like to upgrade to 32GB RAM, but unsure of exactly what parts to order. Should I get 2 sticks of 16GB, or 4 sticks of 8GB? And I'm...

I am still using (very carefully) Win 7 Pro on my main desktop computer. I have two comps with Win 10, but me no likee Win 10. Seems like new versions of most all software are WORSE than older versions, very strange. It would be like car designers putting the gas pedal on the dashboard and the...

Thank you, good idea about trying the Win10 upgrade. ;) Any idea on the best place to get Win10? If you were in my shoes, would you bother? I'm a tad reticent to upgrade, being as Win7 Pro works perfect for me. Plus, I worry that Microsoft would automatically disable my Win7 Pro, so if I tried...

You guys are talking Greek to me now, haha.......... "....VM on my vsphere cluster, running on ESXi 7.03.." Anyway, one more question for you tech-heads: I now have two spare SSD's that I am using as backup only. These are clones of my original Win7 Pro setup, which I will be refreshing every...

Samir, many thanks, great info. 👍👍👍 I am definitely gonna look deeper into those companies you mention for the paid security. My backup SSD will be here tomorrow, so cloning will be the first step in my march to Win7 security. I would even attempt some of the other things you mention, but...

Yeah, well, the powers-that-be said I wouldn't catch COVID if I got the vaccine. And they said I couldn't spread it if I got the vaccine. And they said masks worked....... wrong on all points. You catch my drift. I'm a stubborn old codger, and I live by: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I...

Thus you've identified two possible deal-killing issues. I would not be surprised if my licensing agreement (about 12 years old, CS5) would not work as you say. And then there's the whole compatibility issue with Win10..... not taking the chances, it's too much headache. But thanks anyway.

Well, just the Adobe Suite cost me over $1,000, but I own it. They have since discontinued that business model. Now all of their software is subscription based. And I can pretty much guarantee that if I upgrade my Win7 to Win10, my old Adobe license will no longer work, they will want to get me...

Thanks for this, very helpful. Three questions: 1) If I was to do the 'win7p embedded', is that something I can just add on to my existing system, or does this require a complete re-install of everything? 2) As I mentioned above, I have no problem paying for a really good service, it doesn't...

What are your 'best' security options suggestions to safely keep using Windows 7 Professional? This system (yeah, I know it's old) is on my primary computer. I've been using it for years and simply love the computer and Win 7 Pro. I have other computers running Win 10, but my Win 7 computer is...

Shhh, didn't you see the message above? ;) "2. An adult should not be cursing or using vulgar language..........."

'Spare' what - mouse feet??? They are replaceable? :confused:
