Oh no! I'm sure it will be OK but it is so hard not to worry oneself to death. I had something similar happen to me at a gas station. The convenience store had an ATM cash dispensing machine. It ate my card. It was a big hassle but everything did eventually get sorted out. Hoping for the best for you.
I am surprised ATM's run Windows of any flavour TBH
would have expected Linux, even Google uses it
I know, but Windows 7??? I don't know if they still do, but the US military onboard jets used Windows software. I remember a CNN piece on this a few years ago. This article below is really scary....

I put my Win7 in my bedroom now
stupidly didn't download my PC+ stash first on ethernet
on Wifi it is as s l o w. a s. m o l a s s e s! 2-3Mb/s at most
Win10 still hardwired to the modem 40Mb/s DIM
yayy win 7
i ordered another cheap i5 refurb. only 150. good enough gor an internet pc. no way i'm wi fi ing my win7.
stoopid win10 can't keep that stoopid groove from re installing itself.
gonna have to reinstall the carrara and plugins again. last week i used bandicam to save the iron maiden videos from utoob.
thats asy to port over.
i cant get the sound to work on the fried pc. windows audio service wont start. something about dependencies.
the startup recovery not working. right now trying the uninstall of recent quality updates. disabling automatic updates on win10 doesn't seem to work. groove doesn't have an uninstall option. has to be manuallu dpme.
oh for the good old DOS days when xcopy could transfer an app
the elder scrolls d/l took like 2 days. will have to do that again. >pout<
boning a hose
a repair insrall of win10 fixed my pc woes.
3 weeks to cataract surgery on r eye. 5 weeks til left. then back to carrara. wheee
Oh I envy you... my cataract surgery likely won't start up till September now. I have to go to the eye hospital for mine. Ugh... wish I could go 'local' but not if I want the same surgeon as who did my corneal work. He'd golden, so worth the wait.
Still... YOU ARE SO LUCKY, and deserve it!!

Blessings to Misty and Silene!
May your eyes shine.
and see all the dust and fingerprints
Damn the YouTube commentx again, I wish I was a smart genius like the trolls that keep informing me of how retarded I am.
thanks
I thought Win7 no longer had any updates, I have had something everytime I start my old PC including today
added Microsoft Edge but I could not get off the start page or close it, there was something hidden, a dialogue box maybe by the tone I needed to click so had to bring up my desktop and task manager to close it
it has all my Chrome bookmarks I see and I am even signed into Facebook ...and gasp the DAZ Forum!
Chrome gave me a popup
Gosh, Wendy, I will have to start up my husband's laptop to see that.
My computer tekkie guy suggested I could use my W7 machine online if I only used Chrome and Gmail and did not download any attachments from email. Is that really an option??? I have another email from our ISP that husband uses, and can get there from this machine. What I really need that machine for is Dreamweaver that's on there so I can update husband's old school website. Hmmm.
Diomede.... +1

yeah think they are still semi supporting it reluctantly without publicising it
That may have just been an update for Edge, but not Win 7 itself(?)
I must say, with my new beefier machine Windows 10 rocks
I never had Edge on Win7
also there was a security update the other day
OK, while I have you expert Carrarians here in this thread.... can someone tell me if it is possible to sort your folders under a browser tab alphabetically without removing all folders and then adding them in that order?
EG, take the Shaders tab. Under there the different folders seem to appear in the order you add them using the buttom system over on the right. I looked at the wizard.txt file and they are in the correct alphabetical order there, but yeah... those are only instructions to include the folders, not how to sort them.
Same thing happens within the info.txt files for each shader folder. Even if I have the shaders sorted alphabetically in each folder, when I ask the buttom over on the right to create an index file, it just seems to do it any old way... sort of. Could it be when the shaders were actually created or purchased? I really do not want to remove and then re-add all these shader folders just to get them in alpha order under the Shaders tab. It would also be nice to have the shaders in each folder sorted as well so they appear in order across the preview pane. Is there a way to get them to do this ?
Not being OCD, I just have trouble remembering what I have.
Silene
short answer - nope
but you can hack the preferences file if you don't end up confused with all the jargon and cut and paste it all into alphabetical order...
make a backup first of your preferences file before getting stuck into it though lol
Where is the preferences file? I am not on my big machine this morning, but where to look for it? Thanks... if it's not too intimidating for my vision and brain.
There is another way - well, if all of your shaders' folders are in the same place.
I discovered this when I installed Carrara on my new machine. I already had all of my shaders on the drive I wanted them on from my previous machine - so instead of installing Carrara Native Content, I just added the shaders folder into my shaders tab (and the same with everything else).
So now instead of having all of the categories up right away, I get to the shaders tab to see My Shaders followed by Shaders. Click "Shaders" and everything is in alphabetical order, even if I add something new.
I know you asked for a way 'without' adding folders over again... but....
So to do this for an existing install of Carrara, you'd have to go through a one-time PITA session of removing all of the folders, and then just adding the one:
Drive > Program Files > DAZ 3D > Carrara8.5 > Presets > and then add the Shaders folder
Within it will be all of the shaders categories in alphabetical order. Like I said: even if you add new folders afterward.
was experimenting with the create index option for the tray. couldnt detect what it does exactly. was guessing info.txt but it looks the same after.
2 weeks and 3 days.

Hi Dart, OK got there in the end. Thank you.
There was no substitution for hard graft, though.
I did have to remove all folders and re-add them in their correct order. I also found that I had to REMOVE the old infos.txt files in each shader folder that I had sorted alphabetically and then I UPDATED the folder using the button on the right and they sorted properly then. After that I made a new infos.txt file. I did have a couple of shader folders that were full of shaders that were in their own folders. For those I had to manually make the wizard file. I hope that the infos and wizard actually do something useful!!!
LOL!!! I hope so too!
breakfast served
dig in
I want to render the Carrara Wizard now.
I imagine him as Gandalf when he was young and in a hair band
