Can it be booted into Safe Mode or off of a boot CD/USB drive? If you can access the drive in either of those ways, which I assume you can being you replaced that file, I would then go through the drive and clean out the temp folders (user profiles and windows). I would then go through...

What my work has done is created a service that has elevated privileges already and then uses that service to install/copy/do whatever you want that you need full admin rights for. How they do that I don't know as I am not a programmer. I only support the machines and I know that for many...

Try opening up a Administrative command prompt and then type each line and hit enter. Diskpart List disk (find your pen drive and note its disk # Select Disk # (from above) Clean If it still gives you the error, destroy it and toss it. Contrary to what Mr. Corcoran said up there, I have...

Temp files are typically stored in 2 locations. C:\Windows\Temp C:\Users\<profilename>\Appdata\Local\Temp (If multiple people log into this machine with different user names each will have a temp folder). Close all applications and then go in to the locations above and hit CTRL+A to hightligt...

Adobe and vulnerable. 2 words that should always be said together and should never be without the other.

I did say probably. I have never tried it but I did find this with a search. It appears the "biggest concern" is alignment of the partition, but some say it is not that big of a deal and you are going to be installing your OS onto a newly formatted partition during the install so........ What...

You can't use one ethernet cord between 2 computers. You will need a crossover cable for that. Easiest thing to do is get a router between them, otherwise use a switch. A router will automatically give out IP addresses were as a switch you will have to wait for the computers to timeout trying...

Probably the only way to do it is to ghost the dying drive over to the SSD. In theory the SSD drive will then be exactly like the old one and should work. I say probably simply because I have never tried that on a machine whether it be standard SATA drives or SSD but I dont see the machine...

I have seen bad AC adapters cause a machine to run extremely slow. Try another one.

Update the BIOS and see if it resolves your issue. That will probably be the first thing you are told to try. As you stated some may be having an issue, but there are probably many more who are not.

Go to Google and do a search for VPN service providers. Pick one, set it up, pay whatever they charge and give it a try.

Personally it is a waste to make the SSD the boot device unless all he cares about is a fast boot. It will not help with the applications and such unless they are also installed on the SSD which by your post it sounds like they will not be. Regardless if you want to go that route then simply put...

Yes, it would be better for 2, 2.1, 5.1, or 7.1 if that is what the card supports. If the cards don't support that then none of that matters.

You can use any ram that is of the same specs (speed and so on) regardless of who it is from. Sure it isnt a video issue or a backlight issue?

Well 24-bit is generally better than 16-bit so go with that one.
