  1. Latest version of supermium 119 https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/
  2. You think that you are late to Win 7, I finally got here in 2017.
  3. supermium a Windows 7 port of the Chrome browser, cant find portable version but web sites think you use Win 10. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases latest version mimics Chrome vs 118.
  4. A few weeks ago I had this problem on my Win 7 machine, Resource monitor had stopped displaying anything. ( CTL-ALT-DEL, Task manager, performance, Resource Monitor) If I started monitoring under the monitor button it would only show data in overview, Cpu and memory. Disk and memory were blank. Performance Monitor also gave errors about performance counters. CMD (run as administrator) lodctr /r fixed the Performance Monitor but not the Resource Monitor problems. I then saw asolution on the internet that said to rename C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup. This is hard to do as the files are currently in use by Windows. I searched the in C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup for the files that had been changed around the time that the problem occurred.I found that EtwRTDiagLog.etl and EtwRTEventLog-System.etl were changed and renamed them with no problem, Restarted my computer and both perfmon and resmon now work correctly. I do not know if lodctr /r was necessary or if only one of the files needs to be renamed. Both renamed files can be deleted after the reboot. I hope this helps someone as it took me about 6 hours to figure out RJM
  5. A friend of mine wants me to install Win7 on his old Vista laptop 4G ram. I have a licensed copy of win 7-64 pro SP1 that has never been installed. Does anyone know where I could download a cumulative update from sp1 that I could Nlite to an install disc? I know that drivers may be a problem, and this will probably be a nightmare, but thanks for your responses Bob.
  6. Yes, but the old system has VGA and DVI-I and can use a non active adapter and there is no reason to use the active adapter there, so no problem. Still one problem remains. Nvidia has decided that my preferred resolution is 1920X1280 where the max resolution is 1600X1200 and it won't show the boot menu. I have to unplug the DVI to VGA adapter and then the boot menu will appear on my TV. Looking into this.
  7. Success!, mostly.With the 1K resistor installed between pins 14 and 16(+5 Red, Hotplug detect black) with no wires cut now all 4 monitors work on my new system through the active adapter (Cable Matters Active DVI-D to VGA Male to Female Adapter). But now no monitors work through the adapter on the old P3's digital output. Well the old one has VGA outputs also, so I don't need the adapter. Posted in-case anyone else has this problem and are told Thanks for trying to help puntoMX
  8. Well, I connected the 1K resistor between pin 14 (5V) and pin 16 (Hot plug detect) in the DVI-D cable going to the active adapter and cut the wire after the resistor from pin 16 to the active adapter. Odd, now when I power up the monitors that did not work I get a raster that stays up(They did not stay up for more than 7 sec before) but no video, the other two monitors still work.. This is odd because all four monitors worked on an old P3 Win7 computer with a different GPU and the active adapter. Next I'll try reconnecting the wire that I cut from the resistor to the adapter.
  9. It gets more strange. The two monitors that work on by new build have 5V on the VGA connector pin#5, and produce a voltage on P16 (hot swap pin) on the DVI plug of the active adapter. All the wiring diagrams for VGA connectors that I've seen say this is All Ground, except for the attached diagram. Now how to implement this? I guess the easiest way would be to cut open the cable from the adapter to the computer and cut the wire from pin 16 to the adapter then add a 1K resistor from the wires at the computer side pins 14( 5V ) and 16( Hot Plug ). Then it should work with anything. Arg! Comments?
  10. I just found this. http://philtechnicalblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/fixed-dvi-pin-16-hotplug-dilema.html Sound about right. I'll have to look on the monitor connectors for the 5V that is there on the working monitors and no on the ones that don't work. Probably pin 11 if not , 9 or 4.
  11. I did some more testing today, I hooked the active adapter ( which does not have the four pins for analog video) up to the digital output on an old P3 computer and all four monitors worked! I guess I'll have to ohm out the pins on the working and not working monitors to find out whats different. or make an RGB + H and V sync only adapter.
  12. Further investigation suggests a pin out problem. I got my computer to recognize the TV as number 1 monitor and primary monitor. I can now plugin the 17" Dell to the DVI to VGA active adapter and have then desktop and tool bar appear with the monitor plugged in and working, unplugged completely, or unplugged from the AC. As soon as I plug the 19" Philips into the adapter (AC unplugged) the toolbar disappears and all programs open on the non working monitor. I will investigate further. Bob
