    On bootup w10 feeds over 120 asterisks into the password field.

    On bootup w10 feeds over 120 asterisks into the password field. It has been doing this since the first bootup after the Spring 2018 Feature Update. I haven't noticed perpetual feeds anywhere else, so I don't think that is it a stuck keyboard key.
    Any suggestion as to what is going on here?

    Matrox G550 AGP driver setup/install fails in WIN10

    Matrox G550 AGP driver install fails in WIN10 even though install and subsequent use for dual screen worked fine in WIN7. I understood if OK in WIN7 it would be OK under WIN10. Tried running driver setup in compatibility mode as both Vista and WIN7 but
    still fails. Driver version is 6.0.6.0 dated 06/02/2009 which did list WIN10, WIN8.1 etc against it.

    Driver is listed as an option in device manager, browse computer, and choose from list; but this fails with 'driver does not support this version of windows'. RUN command of pnputil lists the driver as an INF file.

    Noticed the System32 files listed in device manager driver details under WIN7 not there in WIN10. I thought maybe the setup/install should have done that, but copying them to same locations on the WIN10 PC has same fail when updating in device manager.
    (So when do those files get copied/installed - as part of said setup or when installing the driver?).

    Wishing to transfer the card to a more powerful, WIN10 compatible, refurbished PC build (an even older G400 card has successfully taken its place back on the WIN7 PC). Card works fine as 'Microsoft basic display adaptor' but only as single screen.

    Is there any work round?

    Can Win10 be installed and setup NOT to need password on bootup

    Admin password unknown and missing files after upload


    Ok, I know these questions have been asked, but I have tried everything I can understand.
    Need to be spoken like a noob - step by step please.
    Win10 put on my system everything initially fine, then discovered files missing - tried to install a recover program to be frustrated by a prompt to input an admin password with User [USER-PC\USER]
    I have tried every password ever used.
    I have tried going to cmd prompt
    I cant install anything to circumnavigate because I cant get past this dialogue.

    any suggests?
