Hi, Got a sudden and very frustrating problem. After burning 'Audio Discs' with CDBurnerXP for many years (from MP3s) without any problems - always using using Verbatim CD-Rs - I'm now getting the following error message every time: "CStarBurn_SCSITransportSPTI: ExecuteCDBO: Command failed -...

Hello, As I live alone, there is no need for the Windows Hello PIN - so I removed it this morning. But now when it boot up the PC, it asks me for my Microsoft Account password instead ;). How do I remove that as well? DANNY

Hi, Actually, I finally found TPM 2.0 in the BIOS under PCH-FW Configuration - calling itself Intel Platform Trust Technology. Though apparently you don't really need TPM 2.0 to install Windows 11m only TPM 1.2: https://tinyl.io/4v3A DANNY

OK, thanks for the tip. DANNY

Hello, Seeing how Windows 11 is officially released today, I need to enable TPM 2.0 in the BIOS for it to work. I have a relatively new motherboard and CPU chip, therefore presumably should have TPM 2.0 - Asus Prime H310-Plus R2.0 motherboard (Intel H310 chipset) and Intel i5-9400F (6 Core)...

Hello, I have an infuriating problem. About a month ago or so, I got a brand new, custom-built, PC. For a couple of days it was fine, but then I started to get random reboots and the freezing of my PC - requiring a hard reboot.. When I looked it up in Event Viewer, it was always the same...

Hello, I have an infuriating problem. About a month or so ago I got a brand new, custom-built, PC (see my tech specs below in the signature). For a couple of days it was fine, but then I started to get random re-boots and the freezing of my PC - requiring a hard reboot. When I looked it up in...

Hi, Yes, changing the default back to Edge did the trick - then I changed it back to Brave again, now with the internet shortcuts working 'normally'. Thanks, DANNY

Hi, After a recent crash whilst using Microsoft Word, my desktop shortcuts (to hyperlinks) no longer open up the actual web page. Rather, it opens up a new tab in my browser with a short text file containing the address of the web page. For instance, if I click on the Guardian newspaper...

Dual-Boot system Win 10 & Win 7 (now want to delete Win 7) Hi, Re-posting this as I've not had a reply back from original post since March 22. Apologies if this violates forum etiquette. I've had a dual-boot set-up for a very long time - Win 10 Pro (64-Bit) and Win 7 Ultimate (64-Bit)...

Hi Terry, Here is the screenshot, hope it's usable (believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever made a screenshot - let alone upload one). Alas, my motherboard is too old for UEFI - rather, good old BIOS (by the way, I've now got Paragon Partition Manager). Ah, spoke too soon - can't...

Hi, I've had a dual-boot set-up for a long time now - Win 10 Pro (64-Bit) and Win 7 Ultimate (64-Bit). However, I haven't really used Win 7 in years and am always running out of space on Win 10 - down to the last 4.5GB now. Therefore it makes sense to sacrifice Win 7 so that Win 10 can flourish...

OK, Anyhow, everything seems fine now (fingers crossed). DANNY

Thanks, Any idea what are the very best Socket 775 motherboards, assuming I can get a NEW one? (really needs to have 6 Sata connections). DANNY

Hi, Recently upgraded the CPU on my ageing Abit 1P-35 Pro (Rev. 2.00/BIOS v1.8 Beta) to an Intel Core 2 Duo 8600 (also upgraded my Graphics card, doubled my RAM to 8GB and fitted a new 2TB HDD). Everything seemed fine, but the CPU is now overheating - hence sometimes has problems booting up...
