1. Just for info:64 bit hardware will also run 32 bit programs. 32 bit hardware will also run 16 bit programs.... and so on.You can't run 64 bit programs on 32 bit hardware unless you have special arrangements such as a virtual machine.Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

  2. Either the CMOS battery is bad & the boot order settings have changed in the BIOS, or the hard drive is bad & the computer is bypassing it & progressing thru the boot order. Network Boot usually comes after the HDD.

    It sounds like the CMOS battery on the motherboard is dying. This battery holds the settings when other power is removed and it needs replacing. On desktops this is very easy and some laptops is almost as simple as long as you are comfortable taking it apart. I understand that on some laptops the battery is not a pop out coin but may have a wire lead or may be soldered in. You can research your laptop model to see how difficult it is or bring it into someone for service. (Google “Changing CMOS battery on ……..”)

    You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

    So i couldnt wait any longer for MS to push my Windows to be so i opted to download it myself using their download tool.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sof…

    I perfomed an upgrade install which went really well, however some devices didnt work straight away, but in the background Windows was downloading and updating and eventually it all worked.

    First impressions, im very happy with the speed at which Windows boots, not too happy with the GUI of Windows i wish it was more like 7.

    In the near future i will be performing a fresh install so hopefully the drivers that Asus are not providing MS updates or the older Win 8.1 drivers will work.

    Will keep you guys posted

  7. Dxdiag needs a relevant time interval to execute so if the Type command immediately follows it the result file may still be not generated. While executables inside a batch perform sequentially, dxdiag natively runs in multitask mode so the script flow must be explicitly synchronized codingstart "" /Read more

    Dxdiag needs a relevant time interval to execute so if the Type command immediately follows it the result file may still be not generated. While executables inside a batch perform sequentially, dxdiag natively runs in multitask mode so the script flow must be explicitly synchronized coding

    start “” /Wait dxdiag /T C:\General\Reports\dxdiag.txt
    type C:\General\Reports\dxdiag.txt >> Fullreport.txt

    Better you use the >> redirector that appends the text otherwise you will overwrite the previous content of the target file.
