Thanks to resource monitor, I was able to find out from where the data is taken! It's taken from a database file in Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore called DataStore.edb. The format is pretty obscure, but I found a program that can read its content called ESEDatabaseView. The data is found...

Which version of Thunderbird are you running?

Hi. So, do you have copies of the files on both your cloud storage and external storage? Are the files with the messed-up name stored on the cloud or on the external storage? And, can the files with the messed-up name still be used?

Hi. In Windows 7's Windows Update, if you click on the option next to the date when updates were last installed, it will show you a page of all the updates that were ever looked for or downloaded (I'm not sure which one it is). I'd like to know where the data used to compile this list is stored.

I decided to go with a tool called Cobian Reflector. With it, I can mirror the content of an hard drive to another one. It's a bit complex to set-up because it's not configured for that task out of the box, but for now it seems to do what I want.

Hello. According to a thread on Microsoft TechNet called "Working with Briefcases in Windows 7", the Briefcase is broken in Windows 7, it fails to copy read-only files and halts the process. This is bad because I want to mirror the content of an hard drive to another one, and there are many...

What is their model number? Perhaps they have to be set to file transfer mode if you want to open their memory to the computer.

Bestec is a real brand. Unless they sell other power supplies than the ones they put on their respective sites, their offerings don't suit me. My case is designed to harbour a power supply that takes the air from the back. Plus with these Bestecs, the connections they provide are appropriate...

What? That's a thing that actually exists? This is the first time that I hear of such a gadget. I'm guessing that the voltages are too low for them to be detected.

Hello. I would like to upgrade my HP Pavilion p6820 computer by replacing its stock Bestec ATX-250-12Z 250W power supply with a more powerful one, as it is not powerful enough to power the Zotac GT 710 graphics card that I installed. The power supplies from the Bestec ATX-300 series are very...

You mean that it uses a mini-DIN cable. If the interface is AT, then a passive or active adapter may work. I personally have zero experience with these things. However, if the interface is not AT, then a passive adapter may work, if it provides just the right amount of necessary connections...

What OS? I have Windows 7 and I can open Internet Explorer 8 just fine.

As proposed by Nvidia's technical support, I have re-installed the latest drivers, which somehow fixed the instability of the configuration utility. It even let me create a custom resolution now. But the problem remained that I would have to periodically re-create the custom resolution, for...

There's nothing archaic about my setup. it's just a standard HP computer, made up of standard Intel parts. When Nvidia invented the GT 710, the computer was around 3 years old. What am I missing? I installed the drivers from Zotac's CD and so far the configuration utility appears to be a lot...

As expected it did not last. And even if I now have the apparently correct settings, which I've learned is actually DMT timing, I cannot add them as a custom resolution. When I click on test it works, and then if I click on add it saves the wrong settings. If I click on no or if the timer runs...

Ok guys this is really weird. The card appears to be outputting the right signal now and I don't know why. The screen does appear to be unusually curved but that may be damage that was done to the monitor because of the card previously outputting a 1280x1024 signal. Maybe it can be adjusted by...

Hahaha sorry Mr. beers, I thought I wouldn't have to say that the screenshot wasn't mine, what with it being on Nvidia's official website which I obviously don't have access to. But to be fair, it could have been a forum attachment hosted on their server :)

I agree that change is generally bad for human beings and most of the time throughout history it has been pushed by evil forces. "Improvement" is really good at creating ever-widening gaps between people so for whom does it "improve", is certainly a good question to ask. Not for everyone that's...

Another thing I've always found interesting about this power supply is that it doesn't have any SATA connectors, but the stock drives are SATA, so they used adapters. Hey, that's fine with me, I always found SATA connectors very annoying. I understand that it's supposedly a better interface, but...

For a moment I thought the problem could be that my power supply has a 20-pin motherboard plug, I read online that they later added 4 pins to the connector to be able to power PCI Express x16 cards. But I tried the card with a 950W power supply (not mine unfortunately) and it worked, even with...
