I have an exteal hard disk, and for some reason, it is reporting wrong free space. In Windows Explorer, it is showing the used space is 378 GB. I tried running chkdsk H: /f /r, it seems to report the same usage as Windows Explorer, and it says that there is no problem. But when I tried selecting all the files inside this drive, it is showing much lesser usage. I've already set the setting to show all hidden files and folders, also show the protected OS files, but it still cannot find about th...

Hard Drive checking in Windows reports a lot of unnecessary info, requiring that you read through it the chkdsk report, etc. Also chkdsk can't fix problems on an in-use files (like the Windows drive). It seems like a little thing, but a non-technical user can't understand ChkDsk results and it takes even a technical user a minute to read through the report for each hard drive. Is there a tool or built in service which will: Automatically check all drives for errors Report a simple "no problem" o...

Teamviewer 11 is installed onto a Macintosh via an installer application. I think Teamviewer 10 is erased as the new version is installed. And that's not counting any resources in System Folders (e.g. "/Library/") that get installed or overwritten. I know they can't run at the same time, but does anyone know if Teamviewer 10 & Teamviewer 11 can co-exist on a Macintosh at the same time? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I'm shopping for my first Android device, and I have a highly specific question which many hours of research has not answered. However, to someone with knowledge in this area, it may be a no-brainer. I don't mind rooting the device (probably a Galaxy Tab A) if necessary. Half my interest in buying an Android tablet involves using it as a second monitor for my Windows 7 PC. I do not want to use wifi, inteet, or other wireless methods to achieve this - USB only I do not want to use paid applicatio...

I'm looking for an easy (!) way to encrypt (and decrypt) USB volumes under Windows 10. Easier than my current practise: Currently, I've an True Crypt file on the USB volume and a portable TrueCrypt installation on the same stick. I plug the device in, run TC, select the TC file (have to reselect it, since the device has mostly new drive letters), select a drive letter to mount, and click ok, enter the password, ok. Have the new volume with encrypted files in/on. What I want: Plug the device in -...

I am running a Java web server and occasionally I see high keel cpu and the machine pauses for a number of seconds. During this time network activity, interrupts, context switches all drop off but the perfmon counter "System/Exception dispatches per second" becomes very high and correlates exactly with the period of high CPU. Exceptions in java code do not appear to map to this counter and instead show up as user mode cpu so it doesn't seem to be caused by the Web server code using java exceptio...

I am the 'accidental admin' for a small but growing charity. We have a Windows Server 2012 R2 running on a single, newish server plus 8 workstations - 6 with Windows 7 Pro and 2 with Windows 10. The single server is simply a file server & not a domain controller. Each user has a simple setup, they are users on the server and have shares that they access as mapped network drives. However with a growth in volunteers I'm being asked to setup the same user on several PCs, so the volunteers have ...

When I was told about how computers establish a connection (using TCP), I leaed about the "three way handshake", in a way that I understood exactly what the packets were saying: Computer A: Sends "SYN" -- asking if "anyone's there" Computer B: Sends back "SYN ACK" -- confirming there is Computer A: Sends back "ACK" -- making sure B knows their message made it back to A. It made it really easy for me to understand, and explain to others later. I'd like to know if there's a similar way of expla...

I have a simple LAN configured on Thomson TWG870 modem/router. The LAN stations have by default (that's without any explicit configuration in router panel).

I am considering using TeamViewer to monitor and provide support to a relatively small group of computers. I am a little conceed with installing any sort of program that would open op our network to the public inteet. Is there a way to make this any safer? It is only going to be used to connect computers on the same network, and I don't need to be able to use it anywhere else. What is the most secure way to set this up? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I am building a small system that has one embedded computer and one etheet device. The embedded computer has a fixed IP address (from the manufacturer), but the etheet device uses DHCP to get its address. Is there a fast and easy way to let the embedded computer give the device an address? It runs Debian, but I want to try to avoid to use apt-get to download new packages, as it will be extra work (connecting the inteet, setting routes, etc) when building more of these systems. I am thinking of a...

Bare with me as this question has a couple of elements to it... I have a training matrix with Company Organisational Chart in first few columns e.g. Unit Departments and Position Titles in first two columns on left of worksheet(approx 1100 positions in Company), and along Row 2 at top of worksheet, in separate columns, are Training module names e.g. "Induction Training", "Fire Awareness Training. Where a position requires training, an "x" is placed at the intersecting point (e.g. Row 11, Column ...
