  1. Nero 7 Problems

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    It seems like a lot of folks have problems with Nero 7. I being one of them, I solved mine by going back to 6.6. and so did many others. It seems like one fix was to install version 7, choose custom and uncheck all the default file associations. I have not tried this but you may want to give it a shot.

  4. Access Denied To Old Docs Folder

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    OK...so we installed a new hard drive and I am in the process of trying to transfer my old files onto the new hard drive. The "old" hard drive is still there, called "F:", and I'm able to access everyone's documents and settings folders except my own. I get the message "access denied" and that the folder is not accessible. My account was password protected in Windows XP in the original drive, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I've read several posts with instructions to right-click the folder I want to take ownership of and go to the security tab, but none of those instructions work for me because there is no "security" tab when I go to Properties in the folder and therefore I have no way of changing ownership the way Microsoft instructs me. Nothing in the instructions matches anything that shows up on any of the tabs. So I'm at a total loss as to what to do to get my stuff back, and not really happy at this point. Please help!

  5. How To Write Protect A Home Dvd

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    What I was wondering as I am starting help people copy home movies to dvd.I was wondering if there were a way to write protect these movie so they can't be copied over by other people.I want to see if can be done.As like to try new things.Even a address where could find some infor on this would be great.

    Thanks

    This is what I found here

    Note about copy protection and region codes: Hollywood studios created region codes so DVD titles could be released in stages in different parts of the world. Consumer-level DVD authoring applications can only generate "region-free" or uncoded DVDs that (should) play anywhere, except for the NTSC vs PAL format difference. CSS and Macrovision copy protection is also not available for consumer authoring, but it seems of little interest anyway. Software that will "rip" protected DVDs is very widespread.

  7. Hard Drive Question

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Will there be a problem moving my hard drive in my current system to my new system i am building? I have currently misplaced my windows xp cd so if i have to reinstall that, that will be a pain in the butt.

    unless the components are exactly the same, you may have a problem. xp takes a hardware inventory and if you change to much, you may have to reactivate, or get a blue screen. without the xp cd..... in the past before moving the hard drive to a different machine, i have gone to the device manager, and ininstalled all the devices, ide, floppy, video etc. then turned the pc off, move the harddrive to the new machine, turn it on and crossed my fingers. about 75% of the time it booted and loaded the new devices, but the other 25, i got blue screened and had to do a "repair install" give it a shot, it may work.

  8. Password Protecting

    Ok right off the bat, I'm not trying to hide porn or anything.  So no flaming or anything please.  I'm wanting to password protect my website folders so that them...Well don't get deleted.  But is there a simple way to do this.  The stuff that I found on Google is all complicated or you have to buy something.  Any advice.  Thanks.

    you didn't say what os you have, but this is for xp. i don't know which "website" folders, but you can right click on the folder, choose properties, then security and set permissions there. if this is not what you want post back.
