So I went back to the site where I originally downloaded ZEM 1.1.0 and there was another version available (1.1.1). It works, so the problem must have been that the version available when I first went there was incomplete. Cheers for your help @Ralston18.

Cheers @Ralston18. Looking at the last vid again I notice his msvcr120.dll was last modified in 2013, whilst all the ones we have in common are 2019. That seems to suggest he added it himself. I have searched the C: and found several mscvr120.dll files, some are exactly the 949 KB of his. I...

Thanks @Ralston18. My system: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit i7-4771 GeForce GTX 650 Ti Gigabyte Z87X-D3H-CF 2 x Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8Gb 800MHz (PC3-12800J) C: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB D: Seagate Barracuda 7200 3TB E: ASUS BW-16D1HT F: Seagate Barracuda 7200 3TB Mainly used as workstation and DAW (no...

Has no one here heard of PyQt5? C'mon. Someone must have.

"Application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." That is the message every time I try to run the exe. for an application called Zoom Effects Manager 1.1.0 I have done some research and I think I didn't have...

I'm an idiot!!!! I hadn't moved the mouse for a while and the screen saver had kicked in! :ROFLMAO: All seems well now. I will look into the Microsoft ID thing for if this happens again. Cheers guys

Microsoft ID? Told you I was a newbie. That is all by-the-by though. Has anyone any idea why the display has stopped working again?

But will it not ask me for a licence key? I have no access to that key now I can't boot from the original SSD. Or will the W7 key work? I have only ever used a genuine copy of W10 (my other PC) or gone through the W7 upgrade route. Anyway. New problem. I went straight ahead and started the W10...

I don't have a W10 licence for this PC, only a W7 licence. Any W10 licence I may have had is now irretrievable. Anyway, the W7 installation worked. So a few driver updates and I can install W10! The small 120 Gb SSD looks to be OK, even though Windows 10 is corrupted on it. I may still find a...

I did say that this was a W7 free upgrade to W10. I don't have a W10 licence for this installation. Anyway I have Googled the answer and found out that I had to delete all partitions on the SSD to make one unallocated partition for W7 to install to. Phew. Pass the Aspirins. At least this all...

Answer is NO. I cannot get the W7 installer to recognise the SSD without a driver and that is part of the Sandisk SSD Toolkit app!!! Any suggestions yet. It's a bit lonely here.

OK. The 120 Gb SSD may be FUBAR so I am now just going to try and go and install W7 and the W10 on the 240 Gb SSD and see if that works.

I cannot get the Windows iso to load for a repair when either on disc or USB. I also tried putting the Acronis Bootable media onto a USB and reconnecting the HDD where the backup is stored, but no go either. Any suggestions?

Not boot order. Now making a W10 .iso disc for the repair. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10)

I opted for reboot and got Windows Boot Manager. It wants me to insert installation disc (which I haven't got) and do a repair. Also "The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible" Should I try to enter the BIOS and look at the Boot order
