  1. Epson XP-6100 printer suddenly does not recognize any ink cartridges

    That link is for HP, not Epson?
  2. Funny Picture Thread

  3. PC freeze and mouse disappears for a few seconds

    Is it a wired mouse or Wi-Fi Bluetooth? If it's Wi-Fi/Bluetooth maybe the mouse drivers need updating.
  4. Solved Yesterday's update trashed all of my Microsoft activations

    Isn't there a backup image you can restore from? I imagine that IT departments do backups nightly.
  5. Can not safely remove external device when hidden files are shown?

    Is the external hard drive in a caddy or connected direct? If it is in a caddy then see photo (credit to Computer Active magazine issue 706 page 65): -
  6. Notification "microsoft account problem"

    It is annoying but at least you are able to use your computer so could be a lot worse. Maybe it will stop happening at some point. You could try turning Notifications off.
  7. Notification "microsoft account problem"

    To clean up your computer try running this batch file. It will need unzipping first. Be patient. It may take up to 15 minutes to complete. Reboot your computer afterwards. Good luck.
  8. Notification "microsoft account problem"

    Seems to me that you are already signed in (see first photo) so if you are being notified to sign in then it seems there is a problem. Does your Settings 'Home' screen prompt you to sign in? If you are signed out you should see like second photo.
  9. Cannot Uninstall KB5055523?

  10. Audacity problems

    There is a free open-source fork of Audacity called Saucedacity. It's no longer maintained but it may be worth trying out. If it works then good. If it doesn't then uninstall it again. Nothing lost. https://alternativeto.net/software/saucedacity/about/ Another fork of Audacity is Tenacity -...
  11. Solved Macrium Reflect unexplained large increase in FULL image size

    I agree but Macrium gives the option of using WinPE instead of WinRE to create the rescue media so I am happy with that. I have tested it and it loads okay. Having said that, if a future Windows Feature Update re-creates the 'Recovery' partition and the WinRe.wim then I will leave it in place...
  12. Faststone Capture Tutorial or Manual needed

    Does it have to be Faststone Capture? There are other good apps that do the same thing and they are easy to use. No manual needed.
  13. Missing date modified

    Try opening the photo with your photo viewer and then 'Save as' and choose the same filename but add (2) to it and then okay it. Example: Photo name = xyz.jpg then 'save as' xyz (2).jpg in the same location. You can then look at the properties of xyz (2).jpg to see if the date modified data...
  14. Solved Macrium Reflect unexplained large increase in FULL image size

    (y) Thanks for confirming. The reason I deleted it was because I use Macrium Reflect as my recovery strategy. At least things are back to normal now.
