Thanks, Bobby.

Okay, reporting back...
Well that was interesting. I re-did the Cleartype fix. First I turned C.type off and just clicked through the 5 examples without making any choices. I cold booted, and the...

I forgot to mention I had tried the Cleartype fix first of all, but no change. I'll do it again and reboot again just in case.
I followed the links posted above and none of the examples are nearly...

Since yesterday's post, I have tried uninstalling this week's two new updates, a security update for Adobe Flash and a Windows update. I thought I could remember their exact names, but of course, now...

Today the text in drop-down menus, lists, and other random areas is broken up. Sometimes if I scroll the affected area off screen and back on, it will become readable.
Edge seems to work fine. I...

Hi, Berton, me too, but from the British isles at the time of the Mayflower expedition and others. Before that, I do not recall where, but dating back to 1060 or so on my mother's side. So I guess...

Okay, I'm back after rebooting.

DUH! Yes, it does give me the choice of PIN or PW. So I didn't need to change anything.
Thanks again, Kari.

I have a Finnish acquaintance on another forum named...

Dang, this thread went zero to 100 in a short time Lol.

Thanks, Kari. I don't remember if showed sign-in options. It's entirely possible I missed it. I was in a hurry when it happened, and there...

This is my personal one-user PC. Upon booting, I usually enter a 4 digit PIN. This week's updates changed my PIN to my Windows password, the same one I use for live.com. I want to change it back, but...

That did it. I guess I just stumbled into doing it right on the other drive. I also learned I allocated more space than I needed too.
Thanks for the help, Topgun.
Rusty

Yeah, maybe that's how I did it on the other drive, didn't think of assigning it a letter. I'll check out the link before I do anything. Thanks for the answers, and I'll let you know how it turns...

Hi Topgun,
I did that and it is now marked "Active," but still no go from the Macrium bootable media wizard. USB is grayed out
Rusty

I have two external USB backup drives. Both work fine when backing up my system image. However, disk #2 installed and will boot the Macrium recovery program. But when I try to install the Macrium...

Thanks, Fdegrove. I will add a boot option to each of the external backup drives too. I can think of no reason not to do that.

I appreciate everyone's help. I'm always cautious to excess when...

Okay, now that I've run a successful restore with the USB Boot media, I decided to add a boot option so I can bypass the USB or DVD and go straight into Macrium 6.

In my defaults, I want to know ...

Railtech, sorry I took so long getting back to this. After you posted, I was reading up on Windows PE. Dosed off at the computer and awoke to see a scheduled backup running. So to be safe, the next...

Okay, Railtech. I'll have to learn how to do that first. Tomorrow being our Thanksgiving holiday, it'll have to wait till I can get back and focus on this, so when I do, I will follow your...

Hey, thanks, Sam. I'll post a better pic later this evening and we can take a look.
Rusty

This is a new problem this week on my home based HP Pavilion PC, after months of smooth operation. Windows 10, 64 bit, and generally dependable... almost as stable as Win 7 was :rolleyes:
...

This thread is Semi-Solved, but I'm starting a new one to un-muddy the water, so to speak.
Thanks for the replies.
Rusty

Oops, I meant 4.5MB. Yeah, 450MB would never make it out of the door. I'll edit my post.
Sorry.

I think I'll start sending everyone a dropbox link to the newsletter, rather than an attachment.
...

Haha, that's funny. Just a moment ago I told one of the guys on my mailing list I was trying to prove I'm not a Nigerian Lawyer. Don't know if he got it or not, I asked him to ping me if he did.
...

Well, about a week ago it started working again, and this one fellow can receive emails I send via Outlook with my roadrunner account.

However last night I sent out a newsletter to about 225...

As the title says, I use Microsoft Outlook '07 to access my Roadrunner and AOL POP accounts. If I send email from either account to one particular friend who uses windstream.net, and accesses his...

Yes, that would be the Windows image I mentioned. Unless you're getting at something else?
