Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.

Sorry for the delay. I use a ton of potable programs. Most are the latest versions. None of them are working since the update.

I have been using a number of portable programs with Windows 11 for some time with no problem. About a month ago, Windows required me to do an update. Since then, I can not access any of them. I get the attached error message. I have reinstalled some of them, but no luck. Anyone know how can I...

I am using an app on my Amazon Fire TV, which connects to my Windows 7 PC via an SMB address. It's working fine, but I need to connect to this shared folder with a different app. Unfortunately, I don't remember the user name & password that I used for this connection. Is there a way that I can...

I have been using Windows 7 SP1 for some time. There are three users using our family PC. Recently, one of us has been having a problem, which is not happening to the other two. All his progams, online and local, are running very slow. The problem is consistent. I have checked for a virus and...

I have problems sending & receiving calls on my Android cell phone from inside my home (Aluminum siding exterior). Things are fine outside and in other buildings. My carrier says that nothing can be done from their end. Someone suggested that using ‘wifi calling’ (with my present phone #) on my...

Thanks for replying. I tried a System Restore, but it didn't work (didn't go back far enough, I guess). I'll look into the GPU/PSU approach.

I have my TV connected to my Desktop PC via an HDMI cable so that I can view videos on my TV. This setup has worked fine for years with no problems. The TV no displays my PC output when I switch inputs (“No Signal Detected”). I have switched devices and the HDMI port works fine. I have made no...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'll give them a try.
