You can try grabbing the best frame from the vid using a video editor and messing with sharpness/saturation settings and whatever else you can find, but that's probably as good as it gets. It takes different shades of the colors and makes them darker or lighter, sort of drawing a line in the...

Did that solve your issue?

It's trying to boot. Good chance that your hard drive or SSD died. I would suggest trying to remove the drive and accessing it from someone's desktop.

The question is irrelevant. We proved that with alternatives.

Just uninstall Kaspersky and get Microsoft Security Essentials. Problem solved.

Viruses are semi-rare these days. You're actually more likely to get spyware or adware on your system. I run Malwarebyte's Anti pretty frequently, and it's the only thing I've ever found anything with over the last couple of years.

Make sure you have AHCI turned on in your BIOS for whatever SATA port you are using. If you're using a program like Macrium Reflect to copy an Installation over to your new drive and continue on as you were (without having to reinstall your OS) then you may have to do a registry hack to enable...

Are you sure they didnt mean blowing it with compressed air? The heat from a blow dryer is more likely to damage it. Of course if it's cool air it wouldn't. Some laptops may not work without a battery installed. The power input from the cord runs through the battery first, charging if needed...

Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/ and run it. You may have to run it in Chameleon mode. You most likely are infected. Don't click on dumb crap online, even on Facebook. Use a junk PC for porn viewing.

I'm sure there was a question in there somewhere... Why exactly did you blow dry your PC? Was it wet?

Nobody cared then because it was well known that VCR tapes didn't last forever and it was kind of expensive and a hassle to be making copies. Plus, VCR tapes just got cheaper and cheaper. These movies today cost a fortune - and while I would say that is the fault of pirating I would argue that...

So these corporations want me to pay to view every time. They want to own the show and never let me keep it. If it was up to them they'd be clearing our memory too so we could pay them to watch something over and over and give away money each time.

"Why You Need to Update to anything but Apple Now" You do have a choice, you can just reinstall whatever OS you'd like. Unless it is proprietorially tied to specific hardware. Oh wait, that sounds a bit more like Apple...

PLEASE tell me you did not just quote ethics when it comes to being a bad steward of money when there are starving people in the world. The ethics of having that knowledge, and having wealth, but spending it on oneself is not selfish but ETHICALLY wrong. Thanks. One could say that of ANY...
