Update: Problem Solved.
Switching to Google Chrome did the trick. Adblock Plus eliminated the annoying "mandatory" commercials.
Thank you all for your kind assistance...

That would be great. Unfortunately the only settings available for this site are for Closed Captions, and Adobe Flash Player, which just lets me enable/disable Hardware Acceleration. I'm pretty sure...
-
Thanks cdad. Are you referring to the display resolution of the PC, or the resolution of the streaming content?
-
Thanks so much CB. I'll try it.
-
Can you please elaborate why Google Chrome would work better? I'd like to understand.
Does it still require Adobe Flash Player?
Thank you very much.

I'm trying to catch up on some missed TV episodes on the USANetwork.com. Every few minutes the picture freezes, while the "circular loading arrow" rotates, sometimes for several minutes. My internet...

Slightly different keyboard and mouse. But already tried swapping.
Checked the BIOS. Couldn't find any settings for keyboard and mouse.
Only have USB inputs.
Don't know if based on Linux or...

Thanks for all your help Appzalien...
BTW: I tired Clonzilla. You have to be more techie than I am to use it :-)

I do. But no PS/2 inputs, or adapters.

The old version has a bug that has, at times, corrupted the boot sector following a clone. Supposedly fixed in the new version.
Maybe I should throw in the towel and just use Macrium. Looks like a...

Both machines are < 1 yr old. USB on both.
My optical drive has almost no mileage on it, but to be sure, I swapped it out. Same problem.
Someone told me that I can add the ISO of this file to...

A bad burn would be fantastic.
But since the same CD works fine on my wife's PC, could it still be a bad burn and not work on my PC?

Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP-1.
There is a cloning program that I use and really like called EZ Gig IV. It's made by Apricorn. I know there are a million free programs out there, and I've tried a...

Hi cdad.
Sorry but I don't understand your question. The executable file with the clone program on it has an option to either run in Windows, or burn a bootable CD of the clone program once the...

Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
There is a cloning program I've used for several years called EZ Gig 4 by Apricorn. It allows you to burn a bootable CD, which is what I need to use.
I just learned...

This may be beyond my abilities. The names of the processes and services listed in the task manager are not recognizable to me. I can't tell what an upgrade service would look like.
I had a 4...

If the hanging boot completes, and then I look at the processes and services, what will that tell me? Don't I need to see what is going on during the hang in the boot up?
-
Excellent idea.
Can I access the task manager before Windows is finished booting?

I had another 5 minute boot up this morning after 10 days of "normal" (60 seconds). I was hoping that re-cloning my HDD from my Master fixed the problem, but apparently not.
Windows hangs at the...

Good to know.
I have my Windows Update set to ask me before updating. Also, this was happening every morning for about 2 weeks. Has never happened before, and going on day 4 without it happening...
-
Thanks cdad. Actually, my PC runs quite fast. My original question, as you know, had to do with Windows "hanging" on boot up. Slow was an understatement. Several times I timed boot up at over 5...

Thank you for all the feedback.
In response, I do the following monthly:
Windows Update.
Check for updates to Firefox and Thunderbird Plugins.
Run CCleaner and it's Registry Cleaner.

I defrag monthly, along with a bunch of other "PC Maintenance" procedures.
I'm not clear on the driver question. Do you mean hardware drivers for the PC? I thought they were included as optional...

Well thank you :-)

Win 7 Home Premium SP1. 64 bit.
My PC is only 8 months old, and about a week ago it started having the 3-5 minute boot to Windows. It only happened on the 1st (cold) boot up of the day. After that...

Oh man. That never even occurred to me. Makes sense.
Hey NK. It's been ages. Hope you're doing well. You've helped me out so many times over the years.
I'm about to post a Windows 7 boot...

Thanks J.
Unfortunately, this program requires an operational computer already running Windows. My situation (3 years ago), was that Windows was deleted and I was trying to get the OS back.

Update: Minimizing the command prompt window worked flawlessly. THANK YOU!
Reading over your batch file instructions, I see that we may have an impasse. The "Run after program" box is actually a...

Wally. You are absolutely the best! I would never have expected anyone to get so deeply involved to help a stranger. I'm wondering if your curiosity will lead you to download FBackup to see it for...

Wally. Plain and simple... You are a Genius!! It works!
It operates a bit differently than starting "My Backup Jobs" from the link shown in my 1st post. Here are the differences:

Since I got a "Group" error (above), I tried just entering just this (without "Group") in the CMD Prompt window: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Softland\FBackup 4\fbacmd.exe" /g

I think you are definitely on to something Wally, but I couldn't quite get it to work.
Some general info that I found:
The pathway to the FBackup folder is: C:\Program Files...

Thank you so much Wally. This is so kind of you to explain it in such detail. Now I get it.
You are correct. I already know about the ability to create a shortcut for the "individual" Backup Jobs,...

Update:
I tried entering "fbacmd /g Downloads" into the CMD window and hitting Enter.
Got an error message stating "fbacmd is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable...

Thank you very much for going to the trouble of searching FBackup's site for this info.
I understand that you are not familiar with FBackup. But since I have never created a command before, I...

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question. If not, my apologies.
I use a freeware backup program called FBackup. Free backup software - FBackup I've been using it for years and...

Hi bfordz,
Thanks for the info. I spent so much time on this, I recently gave up and trashed the HDD.
BTW: I did wipe the drive and start from that, but no luck.
Thanks again.

Thank you so much. I had no idea...

Well, John Phoenix certainly is passionate about his integrated 4200 graphics... LOL.
Thanks for digging this up NK. I'm grateful for the support. Since I'm not a gamer, the point is probably...

Wow. That was fast. Thanks NK.
I actually looked at these specs initially (referenced link in my original post). Here's my confusion:
I know that HP lists the ATI Radeon HD 4200 as my graphics...

Thanks for the graphics.
It's my understanding that an actual DVD Dual Link output has a greater bandwidth than Single Link, giving a higher resolution image on the monitor.
My question is...

Thank you.
I have the free version of 5.5, so at the time, I didn't see the need to save the install file. I have since started saving all install files, free or otherwise, just for this reason.

Hey CB. Happy Holidays.
I don't use Kill Disk very often.
I have used CCleaner on a daily basis, just before shutdown, for years. I never new it had a "Kill" feature (overwrite?).

I have Active KillDisk v5.5 on my PC, which is going to my wife soon.
Just downloaded the official free version from LSoft Technologies, only to find it is now v7.0. No problem (I thought). ...
