Yes, my recommendation at this point is to disconnect the existing drive, put another in its place and try to install Windows 10 from bootable media as a clean install. If the latest version crashes during install, then work backwards until you find an older release that will install properly...

I checked https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-xw6600-workstation/3432821 and it shows you have the most recent BIOS for that machine. The rest of the software available to download indicates that machine is around 10 years old or so. It looks like it might have originally come...

unfortunately, upgrade is not a usable option if you boot from install media. you have to mount it then run setup to do an upgrade.

Hi, two suggestions I can think of. If your Windows 7 is still in a usable state at this point, try these. But before that, have you checked hp's support website to be sure you have the latest BIOS for your machine? 1) because of the original error of shacct.dll, go to admin command prompt and...

Wow, I guess they really dropped the ball on this (somehow I am not surprised). I just did a support chat yesterday, they asked for the serial numbers and email addresses associated with our bands, said it would be forwarded up to a higher level, and gave me an incident number. I am supposed to...

Or look in settings about or extras and info for a clue.

And now, it is working. Whilst trying to pair it back to the old phone, all of a sudden the new phone saw it. Working better than ever before.

Hmm... 287 views and no replies. That tells me...something.

I just discovered that my new iPhone X will not see my Microsoft Band. I unregistered it from the old iPhone 6 and did a reset. Bluetooth on the X doesn't see it but the 6 and my desktop machine both do. I was able to pair the iPhone X with the desktop so I know its Bluetooth is actually...

ting.com $6 per device, $10 per GB, reasonable rates for voice minutes and messages, pay for what you use, no plans, no contracts. Just need unlocked devices. Seems like a good deal, anybody here actually use them? Getting tired of ATT's high prices and they stiffed me on rollover data, spent...

You will find yourself much less frustrated if you consider it like a flip phone with a decent web browser and runs Microsoft Office.

Third full day on an iPhone. After the initial shock of replacing my useful tiles with rounded squares and widgets, I find that it's the little things I miss the most about Windows Mobile. If there's a way to do any of these on iOS someone please tell me! - If I am talking on the phone and take...

That's the dilemma ain't it? Apple is expensive garbage, and there are 1000 choices of Android, 998 of which are cheap garbage or expensive garbage, good luck finding the couple of good ones. And, of course we already know Windows on Mobile is also garbage because Microsoft kept updating it...

Gotcha, thanks! So deleting the apps, rather than having them hidden in a disused folder like I have them now, won't make a lot of difference.

That explains why I was unaware. Since retiring my iPhone 4 for a Lumia 1020 followed by 950XL, I haven't touched iOS except on an old iPad 2 which is stuck at 9.3.5 but recently inherited an iPhone 5 with iOS 10.something and a 6 with iOS 11.something. I shall have to do some experiments. I am...
