1. My First order of Business was to make a bootable media Flash drive in case a 100 year flood happen. That in fact what happened to me. I lost home, furniture, external hard drive, a bunch of flash drives, About 3 TB of data and 60 GB of music files. So I decided I was going to do it correctly...

My thinking is that I am going with Hasleo Backup Suite Free Version 4.0 What I want to do intially is to make a complete image of my C;\Drive then store that image on Google Drive. My question is can I delete that image file (I will be putting the mirror image on a 512GB Flash Drive) then use...

Sometimes when I fall asleep in my easy chair I will get this random popup from Bing. I do not use Edge or Bing as internet browser or search engine. I have switched from Google Chrome to Firefox because of youtube policies. This is the popup: " how to get help in windows 11 - å¿åº: Then the...

@ Berton. Yes Sir that is what I am going to do. My concern was the audio level coming from the cassette player to the USB input from the computer. I know how to do the transfer. Been doing these things over 40 years. I worked for and managed multiple stores for RadioShack for close to 30 years...

@rezpower . okay I just order a device from Diginow. It has a conversion kit that goes from USB to headphone out or line out. And it comes with Audacity. I still think that is overkill for what I want to do. I was thinking the new windows media software or Windows Media Player 12 is all I would...

@Edwin. My bad Edwin I just assumed everyone knew that when you referred to audio tape players you meant Cassette Stereo Audio Players. Maybe I should have specified handheld tape players. Most 8track tape players were the old boombox type or DC car audio types. They went out several years ago...

I have an old RadioShack portable stereo tape player that only out is the headphone jack. My brother suggested to just go to Spotify and they should have any mix or any album ever made. But some of these old stereo tapes are from stores like Seven/11 or Quick Stop stores. I suspect albums from...

@ idgat I really need a new computer. This one is over 3 years old and the keyboard has been giving me fits lately. Certain keys don't work at times, then the keys work perfectly. I am in the process of selling one home and buying another. I would rather get those financial biggies out of the...

I use Irfanview Version 4.58-64 bit. What happens is I am looking at image files. All of a sudden the system goes nuts and it runs through 10 to 20 images as though it is shuffling through the images. I immediately lose the the spot I was in. I think the problem is with Irfanview but it could...

As far as I can tell the new AI Co-pilot program is suppose to help group members in the 365 family work more efficient. However I am a family of one in regards to 365 Family. All Co-pilot does for me is take up precious space on my taskbar. I found out I could make the Icon disappear on my...

Okay thanks for the advice from everyone. I will never be an expert with computers. I will only know solutions to problems I have encountered and then I will hunt and peck until I find a solution. If I think it is a problem worth throwing out to the Computer Geniuses (here) then I will post the...

@ Flashhorn You mentioned changing Policies which I interpret as using Windows Pro. My current Operating system is Windows 11 Home. I do not think they allow you to change any policies with that OS! But thanks for your information. Getting an other opinion or adding another brain on these...

@ Try3 Thank you for that shortcut that sure beats doing what I was doing. So there is a known problem with Windows 11 or File Explorer Refresh? The headscratcher for me is that I had never ran into this problem or quirk before. It only happened when it involved this "New HDD" Maybe it is...

Okay my problem I resolved or it solved itself. If I had just thought about it instead of reacting to the problem. I think to some extent I was tired and over reacted. If I go to properties pulled down menu and compare that to the drive I copied from all the files where there. Whether it...

I think I have narrowed down my problem. My New 8TB external drive is starting to drive me bonkers. Something I didn't pay close enough attention to when I ordered it from Amazon. I was looking for a higher storage capacity HD. I figured I would not be getting to capacity for several years with...
