    Error 233011

    OK, thanks again! I've applied the big hammer, and a ubiquitous Dell Inspiron 3020 is on its way. Not to everybody's taste perhaps, but the spec. is probably more than adequate for my needs. Have considered various external HDDs, and am leaning towards a Toshiba or Seagate 1TB drive with a...

    Error 233011

    OK, well, it's been a bit of a journey for me, but I've learnt some things on the way, thanks to you, and much appreciated. more recently, funnily enough, I had considered a new PC, for the reasons you mention, but put off the inevitable until now. a couple of supplementary questions, if I...

    Error 233011

    Having taken on board what you say, my immediate thoughts are:- is the issue with the HD (which there certainly appears to be), the potential cause of the problem with the video blurring and, latterly, failure, or is that too big a leap? certainly a good idea to back up while I can, but to...

    Error 233011

    thanks for the info. I appreciate what you're trying to do for me. going over the points made, which confirms my ignorance of this subject, I googled "updating BIOS in an old computer" and the reply indicated that there is little point, unless a specific feature is required. with regard to...

    Error 233011

    OK, command results as follows:- chkdsk - type of file system is NTFS. Cannot lock current drive. Cannot run because volume is in use by another process (it then prompted me to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarted (Y/N), to which I answered "N") sfc - Windows...

    Error 233011

    I'm not sure how long the video blurring issue has been going on. I've been really aware of it relatively recently, as the intensity of the blurring has worsened, if not the duration of it. The failure of the videos is more recent, which is where the Error code "this video file cannot be played"...

    Error 233011

    replaced admin pw. It appears that firmware is updated automatically, the previous occasion being June 29th this year. There is no process for me to do it. Just carried out a speedtest; latency: Idle 37; download 229; upload 100. Download mbps 26.10; Upload mbps 12.72. Does the time of day make...

    Error 233011

    OK, network hardware switched off and on again; PC, Wi-Fi booster, router/modem (actually called Hub Manager, but what's in a name?). As regards the new password, I was asked (prompted is a better word perhaps), to replace the original Admin password (found on a sticker on the modem, along with...

    Error 233011

    I'm sorry, but I have no idea how to reboot network hardware, and although I have the router address and password, I am unable to proceed as you suggest, because I've simply been asked to set up a new password.

    thanks for your response. I have replied to phillpower2, regarding the spec details. I've just done a speedtest:- 30.01 Mbps download; 18.64 Mbps Idle latency 8; download latency 151; upload latency 145, whatever this means!

    Error 233011

    Well, I did mention that it was a 14 year old Mesh PC, but I take your point. I am not tech savvy, hence the reason for posting to a tech forum, without knowing what information would be required, or how much of it. It is, as I mentioned, a Mesh PC; Elite Pro Special Edition. Q8200 Quad Core...

    Hello, Thanks for your response. How do I post this log, please? It's currently in something called Notepad.

    Error 233011

    I have a 14 year old Mesh PC, which runs Windows 10. Surprisingly, perhaps, everything works as it should, until recently, that is. I've been subscribing to an online weekly art course for 2+ years, in video format. Recently, the video images have begun blurring for around 5-10 seconds at a...
