I needed 3.5 for a 13-year-old PC that I didn't want to open up to MS updates.
I picked Option 6 to get it from my installer USB stick, which worked flawlessly.
It seemed to hang for a minute or...

I can't remember the name, but it was a well-known third party software (±15 years back), and it also saved me once from my only real hopeless virus invasion.
I probably had Macrium working fine a...

I sure will, but I've had this fail once or twice in a distant past. That was not with Macrium Reflect though, which I'm now using. Several reasons I don't want to depend on it.


Install .NET...

My problem is I prefer not to risk any updates, minor or major. I suspect it's gonna take advantage and may screw me up again...

If I need to open it up for updates, I might as well pick the...

Acc. to Brink's tut it has to be the exact same build though?
So if I already had a bunch of updates, I'm on a different build and shouldn't risk this?

Sounds good — thanks!
I hope it's also on my USB installer that I downloaded from MS.
I'm starting preparations and backup.

Probably. But as I was still in early stages of installing/updating, it probably came with a bunch of others some days/weeks in, making me not even think of trying to identify it. I think I've since...

I guess I won't (and don't want to) if I keep Wub blocking updates like I'm wishing, but I suspect there's a good chance the basic version of my 3.5 install will work.

After some "prayers" and...

I've been running W10 (v20H2) on a 12-year-old PC for several months now with "no complaints."

Early on, some W10 updates seemed to screw over my "too old" PC. W10 seemed to notice that and went...

Thanks :)

Not long after I implemented some of this stuff, I think I had an error dialog to do with audio, which I'm pretty sure was from calling one of these methods from within Photoshop.

Not...

Thanks. Every little thing helps :)


Just a text file with (Photoshop-specific) javascript inside.


Thanks, but I think I tried that before the BEL thing and it was not to my satisfaction....

Cool! But for my particular purpose it takes too long.

BTW, to not have the Command Prompt window shown, I'm calling the .bat from this .vbs script (cos it doesn't work with a shortcut to the bat,...

I do use AutoIt sometimes in an action for other stuff.

I wouldn't use this system if I knew there were... You can have a dialog pop up, but that just gets in the way. I'm now wondering if you can make an error on purpose to get a ding, but Bree's file is...

In Win 7 I used to use a beep after some Photoshop actions by calling a .bat file, and going by the info, "To make a short beep: echo BEL or beep BEL (typed by Alt + 007)"

I used the beep command....

To regain my time and health, I did try that and it worked a charm (using PayPal). IIRC, I first executed slmgr.vbs /upk to uninstall my bad key. It was $14 — 2 hrs later, it was $6.

I've had...

Thanks! I will consider that if the rep doesn't come to his senses...

Interesting! I guess my shop should be interested in that. Or MS got their data messed up (more...

I used the 800 number and expected it all to go by buttons, but then a guy picked up. I said, "I probably pushed the wrong button," but he was happy to help (for a while). Seeing how red my code was,...

I've always planned to use Win 7 as long as possible, but still purchased a Win 10 Pro DVD from a reputable small shop some 4–6 years ago. They've always been very helpful and just ensured me they've...

There's is no error with Setup now (just that the W7 part of the multi-boot doesn't work).
You guys were right the first time about setting things to UEFI only. From that moment on it could install....

Oh ok, thanks :) I guess that's like mounting an .iso and the like, as if you have the actual DVD, etc. Used to do that way back.

BTW, the friendly blue screen I mentioned...

Thanks! I can work with that for a while then, get some W10 stuff in order and meanwhile use two attached disks.

Not sure the virtual disk stuff is interesting to me. I have some hardware (like a...

Maybe that's indeed what will happen. So I guess I can just go ahead and clean install W10 normally for starters, and possibly adding W7 later will be no problem.

I guess I will again have the...

It boots perfectly in the original and the clone, just not after I install W10... This appropriately creates a dual boot option, yet won't boot the W7 part...

I like that...

What if I gave the whole thing another try but simpler?

What if I only clone my original W7 partition?

Will that start up or do I need to clone one or two of those smaller partitions too? (see...
