It sounds like your computer was infected with the Cryptolocker virus, or a variant. Unfortunately, unless you have a backup of the encrypted files, you are out of luck. There is no way to recover the files. Some people have had success paying the ransom, however it is not recommended. Let's block a...

I have already created process flows in the Visio 2013 format but my client prefers them to be in 2010 format. I thought "save as 2010(.vsd)" would easily convert the Visio (.vsdx) into 2010 file (.vsd), but the converted 2010 file looses all the page settings and automatically resizes and expands -...

Yesterday I tu ed on my new laptop. The windows 10 said it needs some update before starting into the OS. Suddenly it was shut down by itself during updating. Pressing the power button resumes the update procedure and nothing abnormal happens afterwards. Is it normal for Windows to shut itself durin...

If you want the sum to be in the first row of each group you can use this formula: =IF(AND(M2="Flag",M1<>"Flag"),SUM(K2:INDEX(K2:INDEX(K:K,MATCH(1E+99,K:K)+1),MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(M2:INDEX(M:M,MATCH(1E+99,K:K)+1)="",),0)-1)),"") Breaking it down: The two INDEX(K:K,MATCH(1E+99,K:K)+1) find the last cell ...

First, couple of things to consider: A SSD has been shown to generally provides similar loading times than a RAM drive in practice, even though in theory a RAM drive is faster than a SSD in theory. Also, a SSD would make other things faster, from loading DirectX and other drivers, in addition to gam...

I have a Samsung 850 EVO for a Windows 7 64-bit boot drive, with a single partition. There were 14,478 JPEGS (as well as thousands of other files) in approximately 180GB of free space on the SSD, totaling just over 1GB. I copied PDF files to the SSD until there was no room left on the drive. I had a...

I'll get straight to the point. I recently set up a FileZilla server to get all my files anywhere to watch or access. I have already set up the user and directory I want to access, as well as picking the port. The problem is my NAT router. I have put exceptions in my firewall on both machines for th...

you may remember me from Stackoverflow. I'm here to ask a question that has been on my chest for a little while now.

I haven't seem this question, I would love to email the start button on my keyboard and desktop to open an application instead of the Windows start menu. I currently use XLaunchpad as my start menu and I'd rather have that start as I really rarely use the start menu now. I have Windows 10 pro in a s...

I’ve tried using several iPhone apps to co ect to my Mac (a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro ru ing OS X El Capitan) via SSH, but it never seems to work. I have remote login tu ed on and know my Mac’s IP address, and I’ve even been successful in co ecting to it over SSH from other computers, so I don’t think...

I know the semantics don’t sound right, but I just came up with this question. Let’s say a client queries a DNS server for www.example.com, which recursively asks the root server, then the TLD, then example.com until the IP is found. Then this DNS server would store the IP in its cache. Since I’ve r...

Chances are you need to set the full path for binaries like screen since when the cron job runs, it will not have the $PATH values set the same way you as a user have those set when you login via Terminal or SSH. This answer on Stack Overflow is a decent explanation of the whole deal. So I would rec...
