1. I’m not sure how to confirm or deny this as actual computer hardware is not my specialty. So here’s what I got when looking into my settings. 
2. I checked on the forums and it mainly consisted of uninstalling Itunes, qucik time, or other softwares but I did so and nothing happend.
3. If your saying the files changed location I did change the location of them so I could tell new renders from the old ones.
4. Is there a trail for that and do you think it would be required to fix this?
