BitLocker encrypted laptop USBs open on any other Windows PC?

Hello

Running Windows 7 ultimate and have encrypted a 2 GB and 32 GB Flash DRIVE using Bitlocker program that resides in the Windows 7 operating system.

Have looked for answers online / on this forum and I'm still unclear whether encrypted flash drives can be opened on the PC they were encrypted on? It is important that any damage caused to the 'mother' PC would mean that the encrypted USB drives are useless.

To clarify, would like to ensure that these flash drives can be opened through Bitlocker on any computer that has installed Windows/BitLocker.

Pretty sure that I do not use Bitlocker to go as I had never heard of the front.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thank you

    I use WORDPAD to state my problem. At the same time, I have clk that would appear to the 'Send e-mail' tab and my MSN mail login and my mail client would be automatic with the format of the e-mail message. Now when I clk tab 'send e-mail' in WORDPAD, I get a message saying that I don't have a default e-mail program set up. When I look at my default programs it looks identical to my other PC I can send it by e-mail to the WORDPAD program. I have Windows 7. Do I have to have it working again?

  • Content of the Firefox window above other windows

    Okay, maybe it's a strange.

    Since the beginning of April, I had a problem with Firefox where when refreshes the contents of a tab (for example, on the tumblr dashboard), the content of the window will appear above any other window I opened.

    For example:
    Firefox is open, and I also (for example) Excel open with a spreadsheet that I'm trying.

    The two windows are maximized, and Excel in short - is on top of Firefox.

    Firefox is not visible at this point, with the exception of his bar in the task bar.

    Firefox updated then tumblr/echofon/whatever it is which is refreshing.

    This is for a reason any causes the Firefox window to be returned on everything that is currently under discussion - Excel, for example - but not Firefox brings into focus. To get rid of what I need to develop Firefox, then return to the program I was using.

    Are these ordinary web pages - it does not seem to be specifically associated with media players that write directly to the screen?

    Could you try to disable graphics hardware acceleration? As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    If you restart Firefox, the problem is solved?

  • My old iphone 6s is completely broken, it does not or registry that it is connected when plugged into a computer. I'm able to recover photos from the SIM card with an adapter USB SIM card or through any other way?

    My old iphone 6s is completely broken, it does not or registry that it is connected when plugged into a computer. I'm able to recover photos from the SIM card with an adapter USB SIM card or through any other way? I also do not save anything with AllAccess, icloud, or through my computer as you would with a digital camera.

    The photos are not stored on the sims, sorry.

    You can always try the Recovery Mode, little to lose at this point. If it doesn't, I suggest taking it to an Apple Store for testing.

    Recovery mode:

    Turn off your iOS device.

    Plug charge cable to the computer only (not to the device yet).

    Open iTunes on your computer.

    Hold the button to power on your device and do not let go.

    Plug the cable into the device while keeping the power button.

    Wait for the computer to detect the device and wait that he eat.

    Restore as New first, then restore sauvegardΘ if you wish.

  • USB key used in iMac unrecognized by any other device

    Hi all, I recently encountered a problem using USB keys with my iMac 2010 10.11.3 running OSx.

    My iMac will recognize UBS sticks and allow me to save documents and files for them, but when I insert into any other device (e.g. a few friend PC and Macs, professional printers to Officeworks etc.) the USB stick is not recognized and does not see the same on their system.   Then when I insert the USB in my iMac, it is recognized immediately as well as its content.

    Before that, I was able to share files and documents with family, friends and clients on USB with no problems at all.

    I tried a variety of different USB keys (old and new) and what is happening to all of them, whatever the brand, age, size, etc.   Is produced only for a few months and at first I was in denial and thought that it was my friend PC, but now I see that it is certainly a problem with my iMac.  He may have started happening around the same time that when I upgraded to IE Captain earlier this year.

    Any ideas please?

    Thank you.

    The fact that this happens with different computers suggests that the problem could be the configuration.

    Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk utility. Insert your flash key and look at the settings. It may look like this:

    Everything on this list must be verified. While you're there, see if your USB is correctly configured:

    Sorry, but it's the only category I found in the list of Apple that came even close to my questions. I can be in the market for a new computer. but cannot decode their advertising messages.

    1 specification: differences in speed and compatibility.

    2. merger of the drive is about a 'road' with a (small) part of SSD and HARD drive part (large) normal: he saw the day when SSDS were expensive. The FusionDrive software alone decides where files are placed, to ensure that common among the files are on the SSD and weak files used are on the SSD. I think that it is very obsolete. You have no influence where are the files and it creates several writings more than 'normal' operating system software
