    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    If the picture of your computer is correct on the front the USB port that is blue is the USB 3.1, the one below it is the USB C, and the one beside it would be a USB 2.0 and the below that is a USB (probably 2.0) also with Powershare. You can tell by the extra little symbol on it.

    Probably not except if you have a port that is always powered up for USB device charging. They're usually on the front though.

    I've alway done full reloads but then I usually have media at hand and you don't need to sit around for most of the process. That being said the reset process looks like the easiest way to do it. Never used it so forgot about it. LOL.

    Yes, good. Microsoft stopped supporting rtf files in notepad with Windows 11 so it displays all the rtf formatting.

    Aren't those files just saved as *.txt or *.rtf files under your documents folder, or is that where the gobbly gook is happening. LOL.

    Wheel Builders

    I did it over period of a couple of weeks a bit at a time. I had NOS OEM spoke sets for both wheels and disassembled them, polished the rims and hubs but reassembly and trueing probably only took 1 - 1 1/2 hours. For torquing the spokes I did it by ear. A trick a friend that built multiple sets...

    Wheel Builders

    I did my GS wheels a couple of years ago and never having done wheels before was intimidated at first but it turned out to be pretty easy. Take pictures of the spoke pattern before you start as well as measurements for wheel offset from the hub to get it centered properly. Easier than a bicycle...

    Unless there is stuff on your old computer you want your friend to have I would just do a fresh install when you're done. You can download the "mediacreationtool.exe" from Microsoft, create a bootable ISO or USB and if it's already a legit version it will just auto register the key. Odd that it...

    Just log into your Telus account and somewhere in your account settings or profile under features and add-ons there should be a checkbox to turn on or off the feature. As for Thunderbird just install and input your email address and password when setting it up and it should just auto populate...

    IIRC correctly you can activate your Windows out having to use a Microsoft account by simply chosing the set as a work, school or domain account button rather than a personal account on the first or second screen. That allows to you bypass/skip the Microsoft account requirement. The DVD will...

    If you're this close to upgrading wouldn't bother updating the virus definitions. I would pull that AMD video card out though unless you are giving your computer to someone else to use and there's no onboard video. If you're still doing Photoshop stuff, particularly if you're using some of the...

    Good choice on going with a refurb unit. These are usually commercial grade lease return computers and much more robust in build than the usual consumer grade stuff you find out there. I just upgraded my desktop with an HP ProDesktop with pretty much the same specs as thie Dell you're looking...

    I make my own version but with a bit of mayo added. Perfect on filet salmon burgers.

    Friday afternoon safety meeting.

    Trevor I don’t know how to say this without sounding overly critical but there appears to be a dirty motorcycle in your garage. WTF.

    Very cool invention

    My thought exactly, still have to see the numbers on the dash. Besides, what happens if someone with good eyes wants to borrow my truck? It'll never catch on. Lol.
