WOW Bree! That's pretty intense. Thanks for the response. I am a little hesitant to go with your suggestion because of my limited knowledge in the restore area. I do appreciate your response however.

I downloaded Macrium Reflect Free from https://updates.macrium.com/reflect/v8/ReflectDLHF.exe above, and the download went fine. The backup seems fine, but when I tried a restore, the driver iaStorVD could not load. That's the same error I got before. I guess there is some reason why the...

I know Macrium Reflect is no longer offering their backup software free. I had been using Macrium Reflect Free for quite a while, but now I am using System Image to backup my system. Is there any other free software comparable to Macrium Reflect Free than isn't from China? I would rather...

I recently started using the DuckDuckGo web browser along with the DuckDuckGo search engine and really like them so far. But is there a good ad blocker to use with it as some ads are getting through? Thanks

Update: I just read Macrium Reflect Free is going away. Guess that may be my problem. Any suggestions for a replacement? I don't want any software from China or Hong Kong.

I attempted a restore process this morning, but I could not load the Macrium driver iaSTorVD for some reason. The system just gets to that point and "spins." I am using Macrium Reflect Free on a single laptop at home. My Windows level is Version 22H2 (OS build 22621.2070}. I completely...

Thanks for all the replies folks. I learned some things from your responses. Guess I'll just stay with Mediatek unless problems arise.

Thank you for the prompt reply. And thanks for clearing that up. Yep, it's most likely all about saving a couple of dollars! By the way, where in Texas are you located? I lived in San Antonio for about 21 years before moving to Memphis back in 1996. Have a good Wednesday!

I am on Windows 11 Pro version 22H1 build 22621.1928. I just looked at the Network Adapters on Device Manager and was surprised to find MediaTex software. I have attached a screen print of the Network Adapters on my system. Is this the "normal" configuration? I expected to see Intel software...

Thanks for the reply ... all is well now.

Gosh ... thanks for all the replies folks ... much appreciated. Ironically, somehow the photos are now jpeg which is viewable on my laptop. I really can't say what fixed the issue. After trying various ways to convert to jpeg, it seemed to work suddenly. I believe all is fine now. Thanks...

I recently purchased a Samsung S23. When I access files on the phone though my Windows 11 laptop, they are in Adobe format. I do not like Adobe and would like for them to be in a different format so I can easily look at them. In other words, change the default viewing app from Adobe. I...

Thank you for the reply imanlien2020. I may never really need it, but it is nice to have in case I do.

Thanks again for the replies.

Thanks for all the replies folks. Revo is the one I had. But since I do have an SSD, do you think it is better to just let Windows do the uninstall as Imanlien2020 suggested?
