The lenses are OM-mount lenses, designed to work with the Olympus OM cameras you have. You can buy adapters to make them fit on to some modern digital cameras. An adapter would allow you to take pictures with the lenses. But you won't have the features that purpose-designed lenses will have...

Good suggestion, thanks, although the photos on Streetview (if that is what you had in mind) tend to be more functional than creative.

Hi, I'm looking for inspiration for photography near where I live. Are there any good maps of geotagged photos, that I could use for ideas? I found one on Flickr (here), but it's not very user friendly.

Thanks for all the replies. I have taken a punt on a Micro Four Thirds adapter. I'll report back how it turns out.

Hi, I want to be able to take photos with an Olympus microscope. It has attached to it a ColorView 8 camera (see images). From a bit of Googling, it seems it was made by a company called Soft Imaging Systems GmbH, which has since been acquired by Olympus, but I can't find any information about...

Thanks Mike. I've just downloaded and run this. No malware found, happily.

Thanks for the suggestion. There wasn't an awful lot set to run on startup, but I disabled a couple of programs.

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply. To clarify, I do not have everything on a single drive. I have my OS, programs, Lightroom catalogue and photos that I am currently editing on one drive (an SSD); photos that are 'archived' and other files on another drive (an HDD); and the content of both...

Thanks for this. Unfortunately I don't seem to have a button saying "Show processes for all users". However, the processes are categorised as "Apps", "Background processes" and "Windows processes". Nothing seems to be particularly hogging memory or CPU usage. I will have a go at uninstalling my...

Hi Neil, Thanks, this is the question to which I was looking for an answer. Because although the components are quite meagre nowadays, there doesn't seem to be any point upgrading them if they are not even being fully utilised. But I wasn't sure whether Task Manager gives an accurate picture...

Hi GTG, Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give the anti-malware software a go.

Hi Stuart, Thanks for your suggestions. CPU and memory specs. are posted just above. I downloaded SSD Dashboard. When I ran the SMART Diagnostic Extended Test, it got stuck at 10% and eventually returned status code 27, which I understand means it timed out. When I ran the SMART Diagnostic...

Hi Sirch, I am using Windows 10 Pro. I'm not sure how to tell whether I'm looking at all users, or just my user account, although mine is the only user account on the OS.

Hi Keith, The CPU is an AMD Phenom II X4 955; the memory is 8GB of DDR2, can't remember what speed; it does not have a separate GPU card. Not sure if any other specs. are relevant. Sometimes it is slow when doing things that one would expect to, and which the Task Manager indicates does...

I haven't, no. I have this vague memory of reading about de-fragmentation and learning that it doesn't affect performance much. Anyway, I just tried optimising the drive (I guess this is what Windows 10 calls de-fragmentation?), and it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Thanks for the...
