Xp era USB Dongle security keys on Windows 11

When windows released their XP version on windows there were a lot of Software Companies selling expensive softwares for Engineering tasks... To secure these advance softwares from thievies,,, they use USB HASP keys,,, that kept operational startups to a specific PC that had a USB ports to allow placement of one of these keys plug in dongles... Then Windows 7 came along and it was the start of half of my HASP starting to fail to work, while some donglescontinue to work... I believe it was the Pro version on Win 7 that had a Xp version attached to it that did help bridge my work a little... Then windows 8 was total failure... Windows 9 never say the day of light... Windows 10 showed up and was so buggy at first, mostly in their third party drivers areas, it was not worth the bother for years... Then Window 11 appeared and once again a solid Windows plateform became realized... But Win 11 has its limits! Now... All versions after Windows 7 failed to support totally all my expensive security keys on all these later versions... I also fully really this long ago and prepare what I would do, and this also included window 7 too... Because of this trouble, I maintain my primary computer running Windows 7 Pro and I also maintain a FAST Dual Xeon Xp computer too... Doing this all my expensive engineering software are still operational, even today... I also know the Hp also does this little trick too... I also complained long ago to Micrsoft many times on this subject, but they ignored me... And,,, I know a insider at Hp who confirmed this for me what I said Hp was doing secretly is true...

Q!uestion: Is there any Third Party solution softwares that can allow Xp era USB Dongle security keys to work on Window 11?

Opinion: I think the answer is NO... I look every once in a while to see on the Internet... But since you said I had a question open, I elected to ask you folks...

Comment: If I were to upgrade some of my Dongle licenses, (And,,, keep in mind that some companies went out of business long ago...) the cost would approach over a Half Million Dollars... They want me to purchase their newer version while my older versions work just fine on my Xp computer,,, when I need to run one of those programs... This is what I plan to do going forward, but if there was a way to run on Windows 11, I like to know how and where...

Comment: It is also been a good thing that many current computer software companies that maintain older versions of window fully understand why this is a good idea to contineue to do... I hope Auslogics does this too... I also put in a comment about your latest Driver software that when I tried it last fail to run on Windows 7 Pro... Not good! I am just pointing this out, because it needs to be pointed out...

Recover deleted files

I stupidly deleted files from my Seagate backup, OneDrive, and computer. How can I get them back? I have tried Recuva but it does not work. The Windows Recovery does not work. Any suggestions particularly any software that really works?

Thanks,

Browser privacy issue

Good day, old person here.....

I am using Windows 10, do I need both Google Chrome AND Microsoft Edge? I sometimes receive a message from Auslogics saying I may have a privacy issue and that I should look at my privacy settings... but as there is no indication of what the privacy setting should be or what has changed, I don't know what I am supposed to be checking.

Patience and any help offered would be much appreciated!

Thanks & regards

Windows Photo Viewer suddenly missing

since years I'm using Windows Photo Viewer to see my pictures (jpg and others)

Suddenly this possibility disappeared, I think due to an automatic update of my system by Microsoft. With the option "open with", I
only get PAINT and 3D PAINT, but I'm not intersted in those programs.

I can find the folder Windows Photo Viewer in my Program Files, but this folder has two subfolders (one Eng and one NL) and both are empty. I don't understand why, because I didn't was deleting them.

I heard it is possible to restore the old PhotoViewer in Win 10 , by inserting a register- script.

Can you help me to find that script ?

Thanks on beforehand.

How to restore default windows font ?


Hi,

After running all the Auslogics BoostSpeed 12 suggestions, the default system font changed into a horrible blurry type of text. This is across the whole system, including File Explorer, Chrome, Microsoft 365 Office apps (Excel, Word, etc), basically everywhere!

I've attached a screenshot from Chrome to illustrate what the default font looks like now.

How do I restore the original default system font?

Thanks and regards

Bluetooth keyboard pairing problem (MX KEYS MINI)


Hello,



When pairing the device, the system and Bluetooth recognizes it, but NO WINDOW APPEARS to enter the pairing code.



I have tried it several times, but always with the same result. The device I want to connect is a MX KEEYS MINI keyboard. My system is Windows 10 LTSC 2019.



The technical service of the keyboard manufacturer (Logitech) has not been able to give me a solution.



Thank you in advance for your help, I remain at your disposal for any additional information that could be useful to you.

Очень медленно грузится ноутбук

Здравствуйте У меня такая проблема очень медленно грузится ноутбук уже давно Приглашал мастера 1.5 года назад но попался компьюрный мошенник Он сказал сначала что у меня сильно поврежден жеский диск и нужно попробовать его восстановить Когда я спросил о цене он ушел от ответа и если это выйдет то потом продолжить дальше Он загружал какую то программу для восстановления и спустя где то часа сказал что диск восстановлен и нужно переустановить Windows Я даже не знал что новая установка снесет все нужные мне программы а у меня даже не было их копий Я согласился раз надо так надо Когда он сделал переустановку и установил 3-4 программы сказал что все сделал Япроверил да дествительно загрука стала быстрая и спросил сколько я должен Он начал заполнять какой-то договор и насчитал 27190 руб Я был в шоке и сказал что уменя столько нет и почему вы сразу мне не сказали во сколько мне выйдет ремонт Ябы никогда бы не согласился на такой ремонт Мастер сразу преобразилсяи из доброго услужливого превратился в холодного жесткого дельца Стал просто давить и вымогать деньги Я долго с ним спорил отдал сколько у меня было всю пенсию 12000 руб и еще я ему буду должен 8000 руб То есть он мне сделал скидку в 7000 руб Потом уже в Интернете я нашел что так разводят стариков на деньги компьютерные мошенники Через месяца 2-3 все вернулось обратно и ноутбук стал по прежнему медленно грузиться Теперь я боюсь вызывать каких то мастеров боюсь что опять меня обманут Скажите каким образом мне можно помочь чтобы была быстрая загрузка

Memory problems & Upgrade question

I want to upgrade to 13, but the only offer I have is for 3 PC's. I don't have 3; only 1 Is there a discounted rate now and in the future for one app?

I also have a problem with the fact that I have to use 2 memory hog apps. Do you have an app (similar to Iobit's) that will allow me o release unnessecary memory?

How to fix sleep/wake problems with the laptop?

I dont turn off laptop at night. I run it with lid closed when in use.
I used to just move the mouse in the morning to wake it up, but not now.
I now have to open lid to wake it up and monitor shows large icons, clicking on Firefox gives a screen too big to use.
I then close lid to get the smaller icons that are usable.
Hitting the WIN key + P and choosing second screen only also fixes the icon size problem.
I went through all the 'wakeup' fixes I could find but to no avail.
There is a small chance this is a cat problem, I have several.
Any suggestions?
subcategory choices makes me think "windows" was wrong category to choose.
