    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    I didn't respond to your post. Exactly what do you mean "speed & duplex"?? Where?

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    Not really on the cause, just narrowed it down to the O/S which probably will be impossible to find. I do have a recent image I plan on restoring it back to.

    Communications issue w/ a CCTV DVR running Win7 Pro

    I thought this was a Router issue, it's not. I have a laptop that is running W7 Pro x64, the same as this tower and the program seems to work fine. But not on the desktop. Something is corrupted somewhere. I do have a older 'image' of the O/S, but I would like to try to find the problem w/o...

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    Long story short, it isn't the Router, it's the O/S. I tried the software on my W7 Laptop and it appears all is well. I even tried a different network card. So off to a different sub forum with the problem. I would still love to know why this device doesn't show in the routers active client...

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    Well it's not, the 3rd unit now drops the connection with the Router after 20-30 seconds after rebooting. It's done it 4 or 5 times. And the connection never returns. The activity LED's on the Ethernet port on the DVR both show active (and I have changed the cable). The question is; is there...

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    I have already sent the 2nd unit back for an exchange. I will see how that is or should I say what is wrong with it. Both units have crashed, the 1st one three times, twice with resetting the clock back to 2016.

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    I was convinced it was the hardware since as I stated above, the 1st unit didn't have the problem. AFA the O/S maybe, but that major surgery is a very last resort.

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    If it was the O/S, then why did the 1st DVR NOT have the problem??

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    No, I never implied it wasn't the hardware, just the opposite which is why I sent the 2nd one back for exchange. I don't know what you mean by "rebuilding from scratch"? Other than replacing the DVR. :confused:

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    The F/W number also has the date in it so I know it's the same. I also remember seeing it on their website. It ended in "20200513" Could it be something flaky with that M$ C++ 2010 that it snuck in there w/o notice??

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    I and they would of notice that. They confirmed the F/W and S/W versions when I talked with them. These are a older, discontinued model that was replaced with a almost identical version (at least visually). How about this C++ 2010, when it comes to M$, I would first put the blame there. What...

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    I have a CCTV DVR (Speco Tech if that matters) that uses a software program to connect to a PC. There are two basic modes; Live TV and Playback. Both functions are pretty much self explanatory. I was having issues with the 1st unit I received (new) but that one did NOT have this issue. The 2nd...

    GTX 1060 Win 7 drivers not signed

    I don't want all of that bloat which is the reason I installed it the way I have done for years. I just tried to re-install the older driver v457.21 from 12/20 and the result was the same. Is there a MS Service that controls this?

    GTX 1060 Win 7 drivers not signed

    I was tiring to update the drivers for this card via Device Manager, first uninstalling the older drivers and deleting the files. The install was done by pointing DM to the specific drivers only folder (I didn't want their Control panel). It appeared to install ok, but a ! was displayed for that...

    How about a card with 6 or 12GB of memory, would that help or is the system memory where the video file(s) are temporary stored? "RTX slideshow"??

    Retired Microsoft OS Engineer Explains Blue Screen Error

    In analog NTSC color, blue was a easy color to transmit, or so the explanation I was told decades ago. They could of meant 'display' instead of transmit since it is a color that doesn't show up noise and issues as much as red which is the worst of the 3 primaries.

    Nvidia GTX1060 3GB & Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P MB; Bios screen doesn't show at boot

    I upgraded from a MSI AMD R7 260X that I had no trouble seeing the BIOS/UEFI screen during boot. Now I can't, the screen goes dark until the O/S (Win7 Pro x64) loads. My monitor is a Asus PA-248Q and I'm using the DisplayPort connection as I was before. The only change is the card. Using the...

    Replacing a 2TB with a 4TB HDD; way too many 1 & 2 star reviews

    Funny, I had a friend call me up, the guy who I bought my 1st PC from (custom build) and we got talking. He is a Seagate fan (which surprised me). Apparently he had enormous issues with WD years ago including warranty coverage with multiple of drives (used in servers) and he switched over to SG...
