I have used the suggested workaround from the Windows 7 forums (Getting your Nikon Coolscan to work on W7 x64 - Windows 7 Help Forums) to get Nikon Scan 4 to run under Windows 8 64-bit. It worked fine for a while. Now when I try to run it, I get the message C:\Windows\Twain_32\Nikon\Nikon Scan...

I said it very inartfully, but yes. I had the impression they could not co-exist. Given they can, I may take a second look at homegroups. The database physically resides on computer A. When my wife opens it from computer B, a message box tells her that this file is in a location outside your...

As far as using a Homegroup, when I tried it back in Windows 7 I found restrictions I didn't want (couldn't share just any folder, and I was keeping data elsewhere), and lack of protection I did want. I would have used Homegroups as an alternative if they could have co-existed with real file...

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had to be away unexpectedly for a bit. After setting permissions in the user folder, my wife on Desktop B can now create a new text file and save it in the appropriate folder on Desktop A. That's the good news. It's odd I've never needed to do it before, but...

I didn't set up the C:?>Users folder as shared. Only the People subfolder. In that subfolder the checkboxes are checked for full control to my wife, but not Everyone. That was true on both the Sharing and Security tabs. {Actually I relocated the Users folder to D:\ when I set up Windows to keep...

I am running two machines, both with Windows 8. Both my wife and I are set up as users on Desktop A (mine), and Desktop B (hers) as administrators with Windows Live accounts. Desktop A has a folder called people. I have set it up to give her full control on both the Sharing tab and the Security...

Thanks. That was what I needed. Project complete!

I tried ashampoo and it worked very well. I had previously looked at BurnAware and it appeared to be a good program, but I chose not to install it at the time for other reasons. The program seemed to have a good reputation, though, so it is worth checking out.

I want to create some Windows 8 User Account pictures in Photoshop. I understand this can be done with either .bmp or .png. I understand that Win8 will reduce and crop, but not necessarily in a way that will produce a good picture. I am having real trouble locating the pixel dimensions that...

Thanks. I'll check it out.

I have some videos I created on DVD as well as some personal audio CDs I created. I need a simple disk copy to create additional copies of them. The computer came with Win7 and a stripped down copy of Roxio, but that won't work now that I'm on Win8 (bad decision, but that's another story). I am...

I tried to create a custom refresh image using recimg and got an error code 8007007b. I cannot find any information on this error. Perhaps someone knows what it might mean. The administrator command prompt windows reads as follows: C:\WINDOWS\system32>recimg /createimage...
