Did you check that link? The 1401 was all decimal, while the 7080 and some other processors used a hybrid called Qi-binary.


I remember the 1401. Internally at IBM, we referred to it as a “business machine”, not a “computer” like the 360 I was trained on.

I disassembled a Seagate drive from 2011, and I saved all those little screws and the two powerful magnets. They sure are strong. I also saved the two platters because I'm thinking about decorating a ukulele as a Computer Uke. I'm hesitating because I'm afraid that it will keep failing to play properly. 😳


Better back it up (I see Longshadow beat me to it)

About 8 years ago or so. I had a WinXP laptop from work. It run so slowly. So I reformat the hard drive, reinstall WinXP without Kaspersky and it ran 10 times faster. Kaspersky is really a troublemaker. I would never want it on my computer. I can no longer log on to the company network but I don't care.


And with regularly updated Windows Defender and MalwareBytes occasionally, do you really need Kaspersky? Back in the XP days, maybe, but Defender is really quite good, and 3rd party Antivirus aps (especially Norton) can cause lots of maddening issues (like this one).

I thank everyone, I found the answer last night. It is still strange, but this worked. I had to completely remove Kaspersky. I had previously turned off everything I could, but no luck. Finally found someone on web who had to uninstall it every time Windows tried to update, I hope that after reinstalling I don't have to remove it every time I need to update.

The facts:
I had Windows 11 working, upgraded from 10 two years ago. Problem appears to have started months (4) after that.
I could not update Windows 11 or Turbo Tax 2023.
Turbo Tax 2022 installed fine last year and updated fine two weeks ago, but not 2023.
I tried to install an upgrade to 11 Pro, I could install it, but not activate it.

I could download and install Win 11 Pro, Office, Turbo tax (even the updates), but none would connect for activation or updates, all said not connected to web. Neither WiFi or cable connections changed anything. All other software seemed to work fine.

After I reinstall Kaspersky, I will notify them about the issue and see what they say.

Thanks again;

By the way my wife's computer worked fine using the same software, but she has Win 10, so it may be a Win 11-Kaspersky interaction that only affects some specific way of connecting???

One of Microsofts windows update had an issue about 8 weeks ago I believe. Neither mine or my wife's computer would update after that update failed. The issue is the space for the update is not large enough. I had to increase the windows recovery drive to 500mb from the 250mb that it is normally. I don't remember why they changed something in the updates that requires that but after I went into dos and increased my recovery drive everything is working fine.we both have excellent computers and plenty of space. The windows recovery drive is set up by windows. It is not a hard drive space issue.

Was this the update? Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5030310)

If I recall, there were a host of issues with this update although it worked for me (so far). That could easily be the OP’s issue. Interesting that increasing the recovery drive sized addressed it? Hope the OP has a restore point that he can return to.

I think he meant Turbotax 2023 doesn't update. Which is a strange thing.


Well then I’m confused since his first statement was: “ My computer will not update windows, run the Assist program (allows someone else to run your computer) or activate any Microsoft software.”

I am asking if anyone has had this specific problem:

My computer will not update windows, run the Assist program (allows someone else to run your computer) or activate any Microsoft software. I have tried every trick mentioned on the web, troubleshoot, repair, etc. After two hrs with Microsoft support, they finally sent a copy of Windows which was to install and repair while leaving apps intact, but no effect. I tried installing a new copy of 11 Pro, but again can't activate it. I know of software which will move apps to a new computer and software which will mirror the system (if a software issue, then that will be mirrored also). At this point, buying a new one, moving everything, then wiping the old one (3 yrs old, gaming system), installing new operating system seems like the only solution. Except for doing the same thing with Turbo Tax 2023, the computer works fine.

I don't wish to start an endless dialogue here, just asking has anyone had this same problem. All error messages say I'm not connected to the web. Tried updating at 2-5 am when Hughes Net is fastest, but no help there.

Thanks;
Jim

When you say update, do you mean you can’t load/run updates to Win 11? If so, do you have system restore enabled? If so, try restoring to one of the previous points.

Help me understand a few things:

Regarding your attempt to install a new copy of Win11 pro, did it install and run correctly, but you can’t activate it?
If so, what is the source you installed from? (Did you purchase it?).
Did your machine originally come with Win 10 and you updated to 11? If so, was the copy of 10 Win Pro or home? Were you able to initially activate that copy of 11 (using your Win 10 activation key?) and did it run correctly until some update was applied?

Sorry for all the questions, but trying to understand so I can assist. From what I can tell from your description, this is an activation issue (is that true?), and I’m trying to determine the source of the activation key that doesn’t work.

Too bad IBM isn’t still in the keyboard business (are they?). Their keyboards had a perfect tactical feel and positive tactical feedback when a key was depressed - may still use old ones for this reason.

I solved the dryer vent lint issue- bought a ventless unit. Cost more but has saved me much time cleaning a 12ft vent.


What does the ventless unit do with the lint?

Been across that bridge many times. This one is going to take a LONG time to rebuild. Until they can at least remove the damaged sections, the port is closed. Reportedly, the vessel lost power and had called mayday in time for them to keep traffic off the bridge, but 7-8 workers on the bridge went into the water. As of this morning, 2 had been rescued.

I have two 80 gig Seagate drives that still work.
I have a rather large collect of magnet's also, some require a pair of plyers to remove from my toolbox or refrigerator.


I believe I still have some 4GB (yes, GB) SCSI Seagate Barracudas - I’m going to check, and if so, trash them.

Looking on MiniDisk Partition Wizard, this is what it shows. Diskpart shows the one below.


The FAT 32 partition is likely an artifact from a previous partition. Go with diskpart - it’s not showing the small FAT32 partition because it’s not currently relevant.

Remember the story you just told us about being to lazy to clean the filter after each drying session and when your house catch's fire. You should take the back of the dryer once a year and vacuum all the lint in the piping to the outside. Makes a big difference. Mine is a Whirlpool over 23 years old.

I ALWAYS clean the filter each time before I start the dryer, but I was surprised how much lint came out of the duct when I vacuumed it with a Shop vac.
