AskWoody LoungerI have to recommend the tutorial section of sevenforums.com. MVP Shawn Brink has done an excellent job of writing a tutorial for just about everything imaginable.
Here is an index of tutorials: http://www.sevenforu…rial-index.html

AskWoody Lounger2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a. One Copy per Computer. You may install one copy of the software on one computer. That computer is the “licensed computer.”
b. Licensed Computer. You may use the software on up to two processors on the licensed computer at one time. Unless otherwise provided in these license terms, you may not use the software on any other computer.
c. Number of Users. Unless otherwise provided in these license terms, only one user may use the software at a time.
d. Alternative Versions. The software may include more than one version, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. You may install and use only one version at one time.You can’t get much more clear than that.

AskWoody LoungerTry changing the SATA setting in the BIOS to AHCI, or non-RAID (aka IDE) if AHCI is already set.

AskWoody LoungerWhat are not recognized, the drives, or partitions?
-
WSJonathan King
AskWoody LoungerYou can, although it’s technically illegal. The EULA clearly states one installation per product key.
-
WSJonathan King
AskWoody LoungerSure, that will be no problem. Just install it with the other drive attached.

AskWoody LoungerI agree with Clint. By far, the best security is offered by safe browsing habits and common sense in downloading files. etc.
MSE is my primary and only AV on my machine, but as a BSOD analyst, I see the other side of things. I have seen countless BSODs caused by AVG, McAfee, Norton, Avira, ZoneAlarm, and even old versions of ESET. MSE is our “fail safe” AV, being from Microsoft, they tend to know how their system works and thus it will never cause a BSOD.
It is also true to never run multiple AVs at once. The exception is Avast.. The developers worked with MS. so you can safely run Avast alongside MSE. I also have heard numerous reports of running Malwarebytes alongside MSE, but I’m not sure if I can officially recommend it at this point.

AskWoody LoungerNot sure how to do it manually, but you can use the Ultimate Windows Tweaker (7’s equivalent of TweakUI): http://www.thewindow…windows-7-vista

AskWoody LoungerYou can use Windows search for that. Open My Computer, and search for .mp3 in the search box in the upper-right corner. Do the same for .flv. etc.

AskWoody LoungerI warn you about using registry defraggers or cleaners. They are notorious for causing problems. Can’t tell you how many time I have had to recommend a system restore or even a clean install on account of them.
Defragment your hard drive every couple of months or so, but other than that, CCleaner to clean out cookies, temp files, etc, and uninstall unneeded programs.
-
WSJonathan King
AskWoody LoungerPeriodic restoration is not necessary, with a little maintenance. I recommend a 50GB partition for programs and the OS, and the rest for data. That way, if you need to reinstall for any reason, backup is easy, and often unnecessary,
Use a junk cleaner like CCleaner regularly to clean out temporary files, and uninstall unneeded programs. That way, your system will stay clean.
-
WSJonathan King
AskWoody LoungerI suggest a system restore to get to a point before the updates. Then install them one or two at a time until you figure out which update is causing the issue.

AskWoody LoungerYou may also try giving the drive a letter in Disk Management. Type diskmgmt.msc into the start menu and press enter. Right-click on your drive if it is listed, and select assign drive letter and paths.
