    Incompatability


    I have a back up PC (Dell Dimension) originally installed was Windows XP. The computer now runs on Windows 10 version 1709 which Microsoft ended support 4/9/19. The PC is incompatible to upgrade to the 1803 or 1809. Is there anything I can do to make this old desktop compatible so the installation of the 1803 or 1809 doesn't fail. I am currently running on a metered connection to stop repetitious failure after failure.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 apps (Photos, Calculator etc) wont launch

    Hi,

    One of the possible reasons why you're experiencing this issue is an outdated driver or incompatibility. To resolve this, we suggest that you update the video/graphics card driver. Please follow the steps listed below:

    • Press Windows and X keys together.
    • Select the Device Manager option.
    • Locate and expand the Display Adapters.
    • Click on Update the Driver/Uninstall.
    • Restart the laptop and install the graphics card driver.
    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

    N93 + Motorola IHF1000 incompatable

    Phone Nokia N83 software V20.0.58

    CarKit Toyota badged dealer fitted actually a Motorola IHF1000

    Paring process fine entering pin ok then when connects fails everytime the two simply will not talk to one another properly. Old phone GX30 has no problem connecting and works great. When getting the car kit Toyota did have a list of phones that they knew were
    incompatable but N93 not on it - list was probably not very up to date.

    Has anyone got a solution or suggestion as Nokia dont seem to give a **bleep**.

    Thanks

    Geoff
