That update isn't even a thing anymore—you're basically replying to a post from a year and a half ago.

It’ll work—it doesn't really matter if you just ran an update or not, you still have to activate Windows one way or another.

It really all boils down to whatever Region & Language settings you have dialed in on Windows. Just pull up those advanced settings and look for the "list separator"—that's the one you want to use. 🙂

It’s your delimiter—try using a semicolon instead of a comma

I couldn't find that Apple model anywhere in our local stores.

A few months from now?!? Look, whatever someone tells you today is going to be completely obsolete in just a couple of months—just hit me up when you're actually ready to pull the trigger on a PC.

Maybe you should look into getting her a trackball if she’s dealing with hand issues? It might be easier on her joints.

Verbatim tends to pack their enclosures with slow drives—honestly, they’re lagging pretty far behind the competition in that department—and their design choices can be... let's just say "questionable" at times. Most of the heat was really on those bottom-tier junk drives that AT&T used to bundle for cheap, which basically died as fast as you could blink them.

750 GB:

SanDisk drives generally offer the best bang for your buck when you're looking at the price-to-capacity-to-performance ratio.

I’d personally point you toward the Apple model as your top pick—it’s snappy, clocking in at about 80 MB/s transfer speeds, plus you get a solid 3-year warranty. Your runner-up would be the Adata option; even though it's running a 5400 rpm drive, the software they provide for driver upgrades actually helps bump up the read speeds, so you can probably expect around 50 MB/s when you're moving larger files. As for Western Digital—in my experience, they're just way too unreliable. Honestly, the vast majority of drives I've dealt with that ended up being total headaches were Western Digital units.

Looks like your memory is running at 800 MHz based on those screenshots—not the 1333 you were aiming for. You should probably jump into the BIOS and set the RAM to 667 MHz instead.

Look, you can't just jam DDR2 and DDR3 together in the same rig—it’s physically impossible. If you decide to go the DDR3 route, you’re gonna have to pull that old DDR2 module out first.

This should probably fall under Medical imaging equipment—does this camera actually look legit to you? When you plugged it in, did Windows (which version were you running, by the way?) even recognize that it was connected?

With only 16A on the 12V rail—yeah, good luck with that.

That's FireWire.

It’s just not going to happen—you can only hook that monitor up via a Thunderbolt port. Sure, you could grab some extra adapters and try to run a different monitor through that same port, but if we're talking about a dedicated Thunderbolt display, it needs a Thunderbolt port. Period. Most Mac chipsets just don't have the native support for it.

The incoming server is actually provided by whoever handles your email service—Windows Live Mail is just the software you use to read your messages.

What kind of error message are you getting when you try to copy?

The Intel Core i5 2500 doesn't actually need a ton of juice—my setup pulls maybe around 80W when I've got it pinned at 4.6 GHz under full load.

You just create them one at a time—I don't see what the big deal is.

I ran the process—it finished, the database opened, I can see all the tables—but honestly, it’s the exact same mess as before.

Look, there's probably some corruption lurking in the database—and frankly, I have no clue how you're supposed to hunt down the specific culprit... just try creating a totally blank database, then copy your objects over from a non-compacted version and see if you can actually view or edit them normally.
