Computer problem

Did you get it sorted?

nope, so I have contacted Sandisk

If you haven’t tried EaseUS https://down.easeus.com/product/drw_free

May be no better than the other tools you’ve tried, but is a good one.
If you had a friend with a Mac close by, I’d say try that.
Otherwise it is possible it’s faulty.

Yeah I tried that one. Think I just have a dud USB, a lemon bought.

I think you’re probably right

I’m trying to assist my Mum with a Windows 10 start up issue…

Basically, Windows won’t open into her User profile.

The computer starts up, Windows starts with “Welcome”, but then it quickly changes to “Preparing Windows”…and I’ve already got a sinking feeling…because it loads into a temporary User profile and says “We can’t sign into your account”.

I’ve searched on File Explorer and can see her normal user profile with all her old desktop files etc there…I’ve completed any outstanding Windows Updates…I’ve tried to disable McAffee…still no joy…

It comes down to this question - why won’t it latch onto the User Profile, when all the files are there, and it recognises the name because it opens a new temporary User Profile in the same name…any suggestions?

It may be caught in an update loop.
You can repair from the OS USB.

I think you’re on the right track…I think she got impatient and interrupted a Windows update…I’ve ended up creating a new User Profile and copying her files across.

Sadly for her, I haven’t gone to the effort of reloading her 200 baking recipe and horoscope bookmarks in Chrome.

Not sure if someone will know the answer cause it’s fairly specific, but i’m looking to buy some photo paper from Epson.

However the paper I want isn’t listed on their ‘compatible’ list which seems a bit odd. Some of the paper for example in the same series will have a4 compatible, but not 5x7 as an example.

If though for example I wanted this product

to work with the above printer would it be an issue?

Just to add, the US site says compatible with all dye inks.

As does a retailer in the US.

Current laptop seems like it is about to ■■■■ itself and I don’t use one enough to justify buying another.
I’ve got a 9th gen iPad with a keyboard that ticks almost every box except that I can’t use it in my lap. LINK
Anyone got some suggestions for what is essentially a freestanding case + keyboard combo?

Maybe try this…lenovo chromebook - Google Search

the logitech one is a bit sketchy on the lap

That’s the one I’ve got atm.
Great for everything else except for that.
I’d had a look a month or so ago but didn’t end up finding anything without a bunch of crap reviews.
Came across this earlier today which looks promising.

As per some legend on Reddit, before the sook corporation friendly mods closed the thread;

It works.

It was one of a skateboard, BMX or a micro scooter iirc :joy:
