  1. Not ashamed to ask a silly question


    I was doing a backup of my files - several of which were skipped. I would like ALL of my files, but then I was presented with a "notepad" enumerating omitted files- I confess that I have NO clue, never had a clue what this "NOTEPAD" is - what is its function and how is it supposed to help, i.e. in a situation where a backup is incomplete. We never learn unless we ask questions, no matter how dense - when I read MS explanations, I am lost. - so to anyone who can help, I'd be SOOOO very grateful.

    :)

  2. Silly question

    I am used to a MAC - so why when I want to start a new folder, does one pop up inside of the one I am already using? - it causes a lot of confusion and I have lost a few files already - I file photos on a monthly basis and things are in such disorder,
    it's not funny. I feel ashamed asking such a basic question, but if you don't ask...

    Thanks to all.

    Silly Question

    Hi Sturner33333,

    no such thing as a silly question, only silly answers.

    click on the pen icon again to turn it off then you can drag the map.

    please let me know if that is not what you were looking for.

    Hi, At last i seem to have found a programme that can stop me banging my head against a brick wall i have been trying to fix my bios for the last couple of weeks (I had to pull the battery due to my son messing up) and no forum has been able to help.
    niether have they mentioned your programme. but before i start using it i have a couple of what may seem silly questions to yourself but i have never had to mess with the BIOS before.

    1) when i press the write button dose that change it in the bios or do i have to do that manually.

    2) if i have to change it manually how do people manage to print of the pages?

    3) Are the first readings you get just normal rarther than clocking ones. i'm not to bothered about overclocking at the moment i just want the silly thing to work as well as it did when i brought it.

    4) when i press the find the max cpu i get this "Run completed in 0.83 sec. Aborted." is this normal

    Thanks for any help you can give.
