Possible to play a legacy CDROM Game on Windows 11?
I recently came across an old CD from a magazine that I'd like to play on my computer. The CD is labeled as compatible with Windows 95/98/NT, but my computer runs on the more modern Windows 11 Home. The question is, will I be able to play this old CD on my current system?Looking for a best alternative to disk drill for data recovery, any recommendations?
Hey, I've been looking for file recovery software recently, and I found that disk drill is a bit unreliable! So I want to ask everyone: is there a great alternative to disk drill? I encountered a situation where I accidentally deleted an important work folder. After scanning with disk drill, I only found some cache files, and didn't find what I wanted at all. And the scanning speed is super slow and it will get stuck! 😭 My scenario is: Windows 11, the file was deleted from an NTFS hard drive, and the data volume is about 10GB. Has anyone used a more reliable alternative software to disk drill? For example, a tool that can perform deep scanning, support more file formats, and has a higher recovery rate? If it is a free or cost-effective paid tool, it would be even better! Please recommend, I really need it!Can I recover permanently deleted videos from pc Windows 11?
Hello, guys! I recently encountered a super headache, I want to ask you: can I recover permanently deleted videos from PC Windows 11? The thing is, when I was organizing my computer files, I accidentally deleted a very important video folder, and even emptied the Recycle Bin! Some of those videos are work materials, some are home videos, the total size is about 15GB, and now I can't find them at all. I tried to use the file recovery tool (Windows File Recovery) that comes with Windows, but the command line operation is too complicated and I don't understand how to use it. And after using it for a long time, I still couldn't get the files back. Does anyone know a simpler and more effective method? For example, some video recovery tools that can directly deep scan the hard drive and support MP4 or MOV formats? If there is a free one, it would be the best, and paid but reliable tools can also be considered! Please recommend it, it really saves my life! 🙏Do factory reset delete everything off Android Samsung galaxy?
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S21. Recently, my phone has been getting slower and slower, so I want to clean it up by factory resetting it. But the problem is that there are a lot of important photos, chat logs, and app data on my phone. I'm worried that they will all be gone after the reset? In addition, will backups stored in Google Cloud also be cleared? There is another strange thing: some people say that data can be restored after the reset, saying that it may be because the data is not completely erased, but just hidden. Is this true? If so, is there a risk of privacy leakage after a factory reset? So, Do factory reset delete everything off Android phone? Are there any friends who have used Samsung phones who can share their experience? How does a factory reset work, and is the data deleted completely? 😭 Thank you!
KB5048667 continues to fail to install - HELP please
I've posted this once before, got many suggestions none of which come close to fixing the problem. My laptop is barely 3 months old, has all the high-end hardware. What puzzles me more than anything is no Microsoft response has been received to date. The few that I got were from volunteers and the system would NOT let me reply to their responses (some cryptic message in all those emails.). My Windows 11 Update History is flooded with daily "Failed to install" and this is getting annoying. Will someone please send a solution please? I am attaching the same error message that has been going on for over 2 months now. Many thanks.... Thanks.Latest Update Keeps "Undoing Changes Made to Your Computer..."
Happy New Year everyone! OK, so not how I expected to start mine lol.I've always been able to update successfully to the latest versions of Windows but the most recent release seems to complete until.... after a few restarts... it shows the message "Undoing changes made to your computer...", and then reverts back to current Win 11 version. In addition to that, for each unsuccessful attempt at upgrading to latest version, it adds a square to a blue screen where I can select which OS I want to run. This never happened before - I would just start PC and go straight into Windows. I have 252GB free disk space on C: This is how things stand at the moment:Desktop Window Manager High CPU and Delayed Window Movement
Hi there, I'm quite curious about this, every time I move a window, drag and drop, or scrolling. The Desktop Window Manager (DWM) seem to be taxing the CPU quite a lot, not to mention making the window movement delayed or stuttering. I know that this is a dev build and I am using unsupported CPU, but this problem also happened in Windows 10. What I've tried so far (both Win10 and Win11): - Disabling transparency effects, this help with the delay/slow motion but DWM still taxing CPU (about ~10% lower). - Lowering mouse Polling Rate seem to help a little bit. - Using GPU driver from the OEM didn't help. - Upgrading GPU driver to the newest (from Intel) didn't help either. - Problem also happened in Safe Mode with Networking. - TBH it's also happened in Clean Installed Windows with nothing installed. Do you guys have any ideas of what might be causing it or perhaps a way to locate the problem? or does the hardware already at its limit? Thanks in advance!The best ogg to mp3 file converter for Windows 11?
I have a collection of OGG audio files that I want to convert to MP3 for better compatibility with my devices and media players. My computer runs Windows 11, and I'm using it for both personal and professional purposes. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I prefer ogg to mp3 converter with a simple and intuitive interface. Detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated, especially if there are multiple steps involved. I'm hoping to find free tools that don't compromise on audio quality. If possible, I'd like to convert multiple files at once to save time. It's important that the converted MP3 files retain the original audio quality as much as possible. Thanks for your input!Windows won't let me pick bootable usb for Windows 11/10
The bootable USB is created by the Official Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. When I inserted the bootable USB into my HP laptop, the USB is not showing up the Boot menu. The Windows 10 ISO is also downloaded from Microsoft website. I tried the Windows 11 ISO as well but with the same result: Windows won't let me pick bootable USB. What is wrong with the USB? Should I create bootable usb using another tool?How Can I Create bootable usb install for macbook pro 2012 on a PC?
Hi all, I bought a refurbished MacBook Pro 2012 without OS on it. It is very old and unable to use the Internet recovery for reinstalling macOS. How can I create bootable usb install for Macbook Pro 2012? I can't get this done on wife's MacBook Air M1 as the os (Sierra) is no longer supported by Apple. I heard this could be done on a Windows PC. If you know how to do this, please share your insights on this.
