New SL510/Win 7 with HD WD3200BEVT: crazy clicking / LOAD_CYCLE increase
I noticed on my new Win 7 win SL510 and Levono Power Manager 3.3, the HD has produced a noise clicking every few seconds. Given that this sound usually reflects the parking of heads HDs, I looked at its SMART status and it reported a crazy number of charge cycle of more than 6500 in 50 hours of power at the time. It is about 130 an hour of charge cycles. That the HD is specified for 600,000 charge cycles, I fear that the HD will reach its specified limit after about 6 months of regular use. Sounds - noises left aside - completely inaccetable for me. What is happening with the Lenovo Power Manager? I don't want to spoil my HD...
I found the cause of the problem. It seems that it is not for lack of Lenovos but Western Digital. The WD3200BEVT has a too aggressive idle timer value 4 s (!) in the bios of HDs. This means that if there is a service running, access to HD every 10 seconds, there to park the heads every 10 seconds!
In this case, the solution is a utility named WDIdle3:

Started from a startup disk, it can be used to set the WD timeout to a higher value. I put it at 30 and load cycles went :-)

New Office WIN 7 with SSD & data disks - how to configure programs off the C drive & users
All new computer win 7 pro 64-bit & State of the art everything. SSD 128 GB & 2 - 2T in RAID 1 data drives.
SSD 128 C:\ & WIN 7 becomes all the settings are there. "I want to move - or add - all future users & programs on the"data disk"F" as the default for the operating system.
This is the version abridged - ask & I'll tell you anything.
I should post this in another forum?
May I ask then, what was the point of investing in an SSD? The point of having an SSD is that Windows 7 starts and works faster to your programs will load faster. You must store 'data', you create from your programs on the 'data disk '.
You can redirect your personal folders for the data stored there:

I can't insert a graphic image into a new publication: win 7, 24 tb
Sometimes when you compose a new email, I can't insert a picture into a message. I tried the Insert button and the insert icon. This happens all the time; but, when it happens that I can't seem to make it work. My system is a Win 7 with Thunderbird 24.3.0.5. I tried inserting different graphic images and have tried all the combinations in the Image Properties window.
I closed and reopened Thunderbird. I rebooted my system. I closed all windows except Thunderbird. Nothing helps. Help! Thank you, Bill Gray
Bill Gray here once again. I find that if I open another window of writing, then copy and paste my email address in the window - initial, I can insert graphics into the new window.
What happens in Thunderbird to get there? What happened a couple of times. But at least now I know that I can open a new window of writing and work around the problem. Yet, I'm still stuck with the nagging question: why is it happening?
Thank you and God bless, Bill Gray

new set of camera with v4 profiles added to the list of options in camera of calibration
Hello!
I'm shooting with a Nikon D300s and I was using 8 elements and Camera Raw 5.5 (included in item 8) to process my photos for two years now. Since today, when in Camera raw, I now see a new set of camera with v4 profiles added to the list options in camera of calibration. As for example "camera D2X Mode 1 v4, v4 of landscape of the camera, camera neutral v4 etc...) From whence they came (they weren't there the last time about 2 days ago, I opened elements) and how are they different? They just increase the list and disturb my work flow.
Is there a setting that has been changed? But I do not remember making any change. It me indeed puzzle.
Thanks for the help
These would have been added by an update to plug in Camera Raw. Each is an alternate interpretation of the raw data. We get these profiles of the manufacturer, then it means that put Nikon to update their profiles and we distribute them. Probably, you wouldn't be able to seems not much difference between the older version and the new version of the profile.
These profiles are just files on the computer, and if you really just want to do the cleaning in the list, you can remove the extra copies. They are stored here:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\Nikon D300S
Win Vista/7: C:\Program Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\Nikon D300S
Macintosh: HD/Library/Application Support / Adobe / Camera Raw / CameraProfiles / photo/Nikon D300S camera
I recommend keep v4 files, because these are the latest versions.

Link new installation of thunderbird with the old profile.
I created a new profile and stored on an external drive, there is a certain messages, I just had to reinstall win7 and do not know how to link a new installation of thunderbird with my old profile. Seems fair to get a host of issues that do nothing.
Look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile and then go to the directory corresponding to your external drive to find your old * *.default file.
Copy your old profile to the directory where your current profile is stored.
See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles to switch to your old GOLD "profiles.ini" edit profile to change the 'path' in the name of your old profile.

When I click on the tab with a + on it, located next to the current tab, a new page does not open. If I click on 'New tab' in the file menu, a new tab does not open.
Thanks for posting the details of your system. I'm skeptical about the "CompTool0234 Community Toolbar". Could you disable some add-ons and see if that helps.
On this tab:
Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Plugins category
Disable «Conduit Plugin»
On this tab:
Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category
Disable the CompTool0234 community toolbar.
Then very probably a link will appear to restart Firefox to make the change. Does make a difference?

Using Firefox 7.0.1; having problems with hotmail. Cannot click on controls at the top of MSG, which is New, reply, delete, etc.. Can click on the same commands @ the bottom of the problem w/no MSG. Also cannot click on Inbox folder once I have access to another folder. All known solutions?
This problem may be caused by the Yahoo! toolbar as scopes as well down and covers the top of the browser window, allowing links in this part of the screen not clickable.
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

News from MSN crashes with Windows 10
I upgraded to 10 Windows and crash of new applications and money preloaded occasionally when I click on an article to read. I'm back to the start screen and I lost my place in the application. It has been suggested that I run sfc and who says just, he cannot fix some files. I have a 7 Stream with an added 32 GB sd card so I could upgrade. Any suggestions?
I was able to do a clean install after getting an OTG cable, a USB hub and a USB flash drive. I used the media creation tool to create the USB key directly after wasting time trying to use Rufus and the file ISO (wouldn't boot). Then the installation program wouldn't work because my drive was BitLocker top. The instructions I found for BitLocker only affect Windows 10. You need to use the Format C drive for process line. Then I need all drivers of HP and could not download in portrait mode, had to use landscape (burned an hour as understanding). News and money now work all the time.
Reinstall Office and all my apps and settings is an incredible time burner. How I wish the upgrade worked. My $80 stream 7 now have $ 200 in the work invested in it.

I buy a new 2015 mac mini with El Capitan. I currently have a 2013 mac mini with Mountain Lion. It would benefit me to upgrade my 2013 to El Capitan, before migrating my information to my mac mini to 2015? Thanks in advance!
Yes, it is better to update the old Mac EC.
Make sure that you back up the old Mac before the upgrade.
Note the application of some may require updated to work with CBS. To check see it:
Also, some devices may require updated drivers and for some devices such drivers do not exist.
