Many thanks to all for the excellent information offered. I have discovered that I had mistakenly connected via a USB charging port. Once corrected, the scanner seems to be working properly again. Mark this SOLVED.

A couple of years ago I purchased a CanoScan LiDE 400 scanner for my personal use... single user, very light activity. Every time I tried to scan a plain b/w document I would get the error message (below). I tried launching the scanner with Canon's IJ Scan Utility, Windows Fax and Scan, and a...

Thanks, Titan for your reply. Yes I was given a link to a test program that confirmed that my 2 drives are, indeed fake. For other forum members: You may have a fake Flash drive - a tool like GRC's ValiDrive https://www.grc.com/validrive.htm should be able to check this for you.

I have just recently gotten a exFat flash drive and I tried to bulk copy 2 folders. The target flash drive showed the folders rec'd, and both folders showed content file titles but they were all empty. I tried this several times with the same result. On a whim, I tried copying 1 folder. The...

I had a power outage today. When I restarted my Win10 computer things started being weird. First off I could not open Chrome and, in fact, could not find it in my list of installed programs. Next PLEX would not start correctly with a msg that my network could not be found. I have not found any...

Hi, Grobe. I just tried your method 1. I did not find the .ini file, but I did find the LUA folder and renamed it "old." After a restart, VLC ran correctly - no more problems. I also tried your method 2 installing VLC portable and it, too, correctly fixed the playback problem! My sincere...

Thanks for your prompt reply, Grobe. I'll give your method a try and report results.

I'm not sure why, but VLC has begun baulking at playing downloaded video files. It also will not stream videos. I had been trying to learn how to download YouTube videos but have had no success since the first procedure is to play the target video. I've re-installed VLC and set all the proper...

Should I go ahead and install this Windows-specific pack? If so how exactly would I go about installing these codecs, i.e. which file should they be in? I don't understand "...use the built-in Movie & TV app" comment. Is that Windows Media Player?

Thanks for your reply, Ivt, The problem began on an install I had been using without a problem for quite a while. I had never added anything to the program...just did a regular install. Is there some CODEC package I'm not aware of that I need to add? Why would VLC suddenly need a CODEC for mkv...

This past week, VLC has suddenly begun video freeze (audio continues). This is happening on random videos, and at random times on playback. When this happens none of the normal LAN controls work...I can't stop the video, nor pause playback, nor close VLC. The only action I can take is to...

Thanks for your reply, Fix_that_Glitch. Fortunately, I followed a link to an article referencing this problem, and two config changes that seem to have gotten things fixed for me.

I just recently found an older HHD but when I loaded it into an external USB dock, I got the following error msg: Is there a fix for this? D:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable. Win10

First, a special Thank You to Darkbreeze for your wonderfully detailed instructions. Being a non-techie, I could never have found my way to this procedure. And thank you Lafong for your reply to my help request. I may have misspoken about the instructions I was attempting to follow. I surely...
