Recovering Files On Google Chrome
The lovely, February 2020 update once again did more harm than good to my computer. I was able to recover my wiped out files that were so lovingly removed from my computer and desk top. However, the update also decided to wipe out all my favourites/folders, etc. that I had on Google Chrome. Would re-installing Chrome maybe (a chance in hell?) bring those back, or am I screwed (again). An e-mail to Google yielded no help for this issue. I thought maybe someone on the message board might help.
Long file names

I'm running: -Windows 10 Pro -Version 1909 -Installed 6/1/20 -OS build: 18363.1139 -Lenovo ThinkPad, 64-bit with 16 GB of RAM Thanks!
I can't scan to the computer from the printer
After scanning a lot recently with out any problem, now the message comes up -"the scanner is in use or unavailable ( E1460 - B 305". I have tried a few things without any success such as : uninstalling the scan software and then re install, checking the connections and switching everything off, unplugging the printer and then after a minute reconnect the printer and turn back on. The computer is an Acer desktop with Windows 10 and the printer in an Epson XP - 8500 (printer and scanner ). I am still able to print from computer files as normal. Any advise/ideas would be much appreciated. Pete V
