[CGUYS] Troubleshooting Win7 Devices and Printers
When I select this from the menu (in order to set a default printer) the little green scroll bar moves SLOWLY to the right but never gets all the way. Even after 24 hours! I have a scanner and two printers, and both work well; its only this devices and printers manager that hangs up. Anyone have an idea where to even start to troubleshoot this annoyance? -- Quentin A.

Re: [CGUYS] Odd Time Stamp Problem
Allen - You are exactly right; and MS's support forums show a lot of queries on this bizarre piece of engineering! Question - Can I use convert.exe in Vista to make the WD external drive an NTFS? Will it save my data? The drive is about 2/3 full.

Your external drive is probably using FAT32. NTFS handles DST correctly, while FAT32 does not. Solution is to upgrade the external drive to NTFS (or some other real file system). * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
