    [SOLVED] Windows Update vs Windows 10 Update Assistant ?

    To answer my question(s): Process: Updating Windows 10 to Features update 21H1 using Windows 10 Update Assistant with all updates to 20H2 installed. This means most if not all updates designated for Features Update 21H1 are already in place. If MS offers 21H1 through "PC Sittings" -...

    [SOLVED] Windows Update vs Windows 10 Update Assistant ?

    I've searched MS & "The Web" without finding a definitive answer to: Does Windows 10 update assistant work the same as the current, regular windows update process? 1. New features update, currently 21H1, 20H2 as well, will / did install as if they were a regular monthly update since most of the...

    Question Small Electric Fan Motor

    Update: I used auto rubbing compound on both ends of the armature shaft and as best I could on the bushings then coated the shaft and bushings with a thin layer of silicone grease. I ran the fan for about 1.5 hours. While not really up to speed, it didn't slow down although I could hear some...

    Question Small Electric Fan Motor

    Thanks again kanewolf. I'm going to pull it apart, again, to check. Both ends had a tight fit. I didn't notice any burrs but that doesn't mean they aren't there. I'll get back in a couple of days or so as to my 'adventure'. Would 1500+ grit do more harm than good?

    Question Small Electric Fan Motor

    Thanks kanewolf. The armature shaft runs through bushings with oil soaked felts which were actually still 'wet' but I saturated them again. It spins smoothly manually, there's no apparent wobble and the motor didn't feel hot just warm as expected. You're probably correct. It's something I will...

    Question Small Electric Fan Motor

    Not sure this is the right forum for this.... My "Ease Home" model TF-20B-L 20" floor fan with a Massey TF-20L motor stopped. Yes, it's an Aldi special, no less! This small fan put out more air volume than my industrial floor fan and a lot quieter. It's the main reason I bother trying to fix...

    Question Error: -1 - Wordperfect office files have been damaged or modified. Please reinstall from your original source.

    Thanks hang-the-9. As I mentioned, I'm stubborn. I have WP-11 on the same drive and it works fine. My main issue is why WP-14 (x4) stopped working? If I stop the PSIservice.exe in services, I get the Error - 38 that everyone talk about. When I restart the service I get this Error -1 - .... I...

    Question ASUS GPU Tweak II Error 1606

    Vilkku, I haven't seen a 1606 error since XP, especially with JAVA installs. I can't tell you the exact path to fix your GPU issue. What I can tell you is that 1606 errors have nothing to do with a 'network'. After uninstalling the software, there's two areas that usually cause this error - (1)...

    Question Error: -1 - Wordperfect office files have been damaged or modified. Please reinstall from your original source.

    Thanks Ralston18. Yes, that link refers to WPx7 Trial Edition. However, it happens that those same files refer to the Protexis Licensing V2 as I mentioned in my article which is supposedly working according to all indications except the error. Several forums listed this as the "Fix" but, after...

    [SOLVED] Do I have a dead MB?

    Thanks Ralston18. I've decided to replace this 2006 PC (Sorry, picked the wrong date in the initial article. I looked at the wrong PC info I had i.e. blind in one eye and can't see out of the other!) I've gotten a LOT of usage out of this PC. It's gone through every Windows OS from Win98 to...
