I use the Maxthon browser. Recently I had a BSOD crash that wiped out the much greater part of my Maxthon history. I utilize the history a lot, so this was disconcerting. The Maxthon history is kept in a folder under C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\. Is there any chance at...

Numerous Outlook Express emails disappeared from my Inbox

Do I need to add these Visual C++ downloads?

Do I need to add these Visual C++ downloads?

That is exactly what I have been doing. I haven't been opening a separate tab or window or program while attaching those files. I've done it just like in the pictures sandwiched between the text I quoted above from the tutorial. The window where I do the work opens up for me right over my...

Do I need to add these Visual C++ downloads?

Do I need to add these Visual C++ downloads?

Glad to be here. Thank you very much, Richard. That post is very helpful. It didn't confuse more, only clarified. I posted at the Microsoft forums and didn't find out much, so this is great. It so happens I don't have Visual C++ 2010 x86 Runtime or Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Compiler...
