Missing dll - where to put it ?

Thanks for everyone's help - I did see the "Wow6432Node". Don't know how I missed it before. I also came across 2 comments that said the codec was disabled in Windows 10 because of a security risk. It's not worth any risk just to watch an introduction video.

Missing dll - where to put it ?

Thanks for the information. The link refers to a Wow6432Node registry entry which I do not have & this maybe for Windows 8.1 because they also mention that. The link also mentioned Indeo is blocked as a security risk on Windows 10, which I also saw mentioned somewhere else. The closest I have...

Missing dll - where to put it ?

Thanks for the reply - I found a few different versions of the dll and tried them all in the games exe folder & the system 32 folder but to no avail. The SysWOW64 folder already had an ir32_32.dll file, the latest version I’ve seen. The folder also contains several other irxx.dll files and all...

Missing dll - where to put it ?

I have an Atari Arcade Hits CD which I copied to the HDD and everything works but an introduction video. It says “Video not available, cannot find vids:iv32 decompressor”. This is on Windows 10 but Windows 7 also used to give the same message. Not a big deal but I figured why not just add the...

Can WevtUtil find boot & shutdown duration ?

The Event 100 just shows the boot duration. If there was a problem I'll get another Event listed such as 101 which would explain why the boot took so long. IOW both Events would show up with the same time stamp.

Can WevtUtil find boot & shutdown duration ?

I have version 22H2, Build 19045.2604. Once in while it does display Events 100 and/or 200, but it is pretty rare. The function must be in there but not working most of the time. As mentioned, after I run Startup Timer then Event Viewer will show 100 or 200. Doing a Windows restart will get it...

Can WevtUtil find boot & shutdown duration ?

Windows 10 Event Viewer has always been sporadic in displaying Event 100 Boot Duration and Event 200 Shutdown Duration. Sometimes this displays Events 100 & 200 but usually not. Yet it always worked with Windows 7. Event Viewer > Applications & Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows >...

USB port stopped working

I had a USB2 port on the front panel that was working for a year but then one day it was not. I uninstalled / installed the device via Control Panel for both of the USB Composite Device listings but it made no difference. I thought it may be a bad connection but everything looked OK. Both ports...

Deleting Temp Files ?

I'd presume the newest process, Settings > Storage > Temporary files, would be the most accurate. But thought it best to get an expert opinion. My Windows\Temp folder is 11.8MB so it's not going to have much impact on storage space whether 2.46MB or 8.59MB gets deleted. I just don't want Windows...

Deleting Temp Files ?

I want to delete temp files & usually go to the C: drive > Properties > General > Disk Cleanup and select Temporary files, Temporary Internet files, and whatever else I want. Windows10 also has Windows Settings > Storage > Temporary files. This lets you delete Temporary files, Temporary...

Windows Security Protection History is not deleting

Method 1 states: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service 5. Now, Delete all the files inside it. Should I be deleting the foldername "Service" or just the files in it? Does it make a difference?

Windows Security Protection History is not deleting

This looks similar to Method 1, but they're turning protection off & on. Does that make any sense? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/all/unable-to-clear-protection-history-manually-in/44aa804a-4e1a-46e2-8082-f64ff897ebdd

Windows Security Protection History is not deleting

I'll delete the Protection History using one of the methods mentioned in Greg Carmack's first link. His second link to thewindowsclub does not work and I get a message "Error communicating with origin". It's the same whether I click on the link or do a copy/paste into my browser. The second...

Windows Security Protection History is not deleting

Everything I’ve read says Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection History supposed to show for only 30 days by default. But mine has been there longer. I followed the instructions here. Configure remediation for Microsoft Defender Antivirus detections I went into Group Policy...
