BitDefender Antivirus Removal Tool: http://www.bitdefender.com/uninstall

Download the BitDefender Uninstall Tool.
First right-click on the red BitDefender icon near the system tray choose on Exit.
Wait a few seconds. Afterwards double-click on the BitDefender uninstall tool.
You will need to REBOOT your computer for the changes to take effect.thank you evilfantasy for the help. the link you gave me worked. bitdefender is off the computer rite now. Thanks again dude.


whats the best firewall out there do u know? Also for protection?

thanks for the reply.


THANKS AGAIN.flameking...

There are a lot of free firewall software out there...and Comodo comes highly recommended.

evilfantasy has a resource guide listed here: Malware Resources

If you scroll down that page you'll find the Firewall category.

Personally...I use the Windows firewall along with my router's hardware firewall and additional malware software...so I'm pretty well protected. I've used Comodo before, but as with any new software...make sure you research before making the commitment.

Solve : Need help making a logo background transparent.?

Answer»

I have have a logo on a light COLORS background.I need to make it transparent for my new wed site background.I need help please. Thanks.What software do you use to edit your images?The logo was design for me.I thought it was a clean background.I only have PAINT and windows photo gallery.I use wed easy profession 7 to do my wed site.But I have never WORKED with a logo.Whenever you have a logo designed for you...it's a good idea to have the artist send it to you in several DIFFERENT formats, (i.e., .gif., .jpg, .png) this way you have everything you need right at your fingertips.

Why not attach your logo to the next post and someone may be able to edit it for you.It's the brown logo.I really got use some help.Could some tell me some good logo software?

[attachment deleted by admin]I'm not much of a graphics artist...so you may have to wait for some additional help.

However, if you're looking for logo creator software, you might want to try LaughingBird. Their software isn't free...but it could help you design your own logo. Or you can have someone create your logo for you...but it may cost you.

Here's a link to the Logo Creator: http://www.thelogocreator.com/ill fix that for you now :-)there you go. a.png file keeps the transparent data in its image so the picture now has a transparent background. not to sure how compatible that is with web designing though. (havnt did a website in years)

[attachment deleted by admin]Thank you.I'll try it.

Solve : How Do I ? expand the menu in Word..?

Answer»

Hello and thank you for looking at my thread.

I want to expand the menu items in the File, Edit, View menu so on.
When I go into these taskbars I only get the short list of items to select from and frankly it drives me NUTS!!!!

I dont use these THINGS ENOUGH for them to be a nuisance or get in the way, so I want them all fully expanded when I select them, instead of having to hover over the arrow and wait for them to appear.
Can SOMEONE direct me as to how this might be DONE please?
Thank you for your assistance.From Yahoo Answers:

Quote

In any Office application (Word, Excel, etc) RIGHT click on any toolbar and choose Customize.

Click the Options tab

Put a check in the box for "Always show full menus"

Click Close

That should do 'er...Thank you GlitchPC , that was exactly what I wanted.
That worked well. Now I know how to do that, I can turn it off or on as I want.
Many thanks for your input. ImnoGuru. You're welcome...

Solve : Vista Drivers Missing?

Answer»

I bought wife new computer from Comp USA for $219.99. I'm sure that many of you jumped on that ONE yourselves. It was described exactly as follows by Tiger/CompUSA.

Lenovo 3000 J205 9686-A12 Desktop PC w/2GB Ram - AMD Sempron 3600+, 512MB, 80GB, DVD-ROM/CD-RW, Gigabit, Vista Home Basic, 2GB Kingston RAM.

She didn't like Vista, wanted Windows XP Home Edition on it. I am somewhat computer literate but on occasion just enough to be dangerous and self destructive. After removing Vista and loading Windows XP Home Edition, I find that various drivers are missing.

Within the Device Manager of Windows XP, I have a series of devices listed under "Other Devices" with the dreaded yellow question mark at the beginning of each one. I've went to the extent of uninstalling each one, eliminating the "Other Devices" catagory..... obviously the catagory and all devices return upon the next boot sequence and I've went thru the search setup that goes with their return, but to no avail.

Whether I'm looking for Vista or XP drivers is something I'm not sure of but I've searched thru my XP install CD and nothing turned up.

The devices are listed in the sequence as follows:

Ethernet Controller
PCI Device
Universal Serial Bus Controller
Unknown Device
Unknown Device
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

I would appreciate it greatly if someone would either upload (click name for email addy) those drivers to me or steer me in the PROPER direction where I might locate them. Thank you.
Travel to the Lenovo website and under the Support section enter your MODEL # and DLoad and install the XP drivers for that machine...

MBoard chipset drivers go FIRST.Patio..... I've been to that page previously but it was somewhat confusing and doesn't appear to have everything I need. However as you suggested, I went back there and downloaded an ASSORTMENT of Vista and XP driver applications. Hopefully I can extract them into one directory and source them from there.

The drivers I found pertained to Video, Audio, and Ethernet. From what I gather the USB controller driver has something to do with Service Pack #1 but if that pertains to Vista, I think I'd stay away from it as I'm running XP.

Easier to build from scratch than to try to convert these machines.

Solve : Outlook 2007 search issues?

Answer»

I have given upon Windows instant SEARCH as even on an Intel i7 Quad core processor with 3GB ram, Instant search slows down the system, generally interfering with speed of all processes in a way that I just find unacceptable.

I have removed instant search and resorted to using the address book search which if fine for my needs BUT even that does not bring up entries that are quite obviously there in my conatacts.

Is there any ANSWER to this as yet? I have searched the net and am finding only inconclusive STUFF at the moment. Does anyone KNOW if Microsoft anything to say other than SUGGESTING stuff that does not work?

Solve : HELP! Connection Problems?

Answer»

Hello,

This is my first post here on the forums. I am hoping that somebody here will be able to help me with a problem that just popped up a few days ago on my LAPTOP.

Basic Details
- Laptop: DELL INSPIRON 1525
- Internet Connection: USB MODEM (NOVATEL WIRELESS OVATION MC950D)
.... link to my version of Novatel Modem: http://www.nvtl.com/pdf/OvationMC950D_datasheet.pdf
- Modem is branded in Canada as "Rogers Rocket Mobile Internet Stick"
- Operating System: Windows Vista
- Version of MSN: Windows Live Messenger 2009
- When problem occurred: 5 days ago

Basic Problem
Ok, so my problem started when my MSN stopped working. It wouldn't connect, saying that I had an invalid IP address. My Firefox and Internet Explorer both work just fine. Nothing else related to my internet connection is affected aside from MSN.

I am still able to ping websites and IPs no problem.

I ran the Messenger Connection Troubleshooter. It said I had an invalid IP address. I ran the Command Prompt as Administrator and ran "ipconfig /release" which gave me the following message:

"No OPERATION can be performed on Wireless NETWORK Connection while it has its media disconnected
No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection white it has its media disconnected"

I downloaded WinSock Fix to try and fix my IP problems. WinSock Fix gave me an error that read: "Registry Import Information Not Found". After finishing the REPAIR it also gave me "Error 53".

I then ran "netsh winsock reset" from the Command Prompt and although it said it was successful, after a restart the problem was still there.

I know that my problem only seems to affect MSN (web version still work by the way), but it's a very annoying problem.

Interesting Twist
My wife has the exact same setup as me and she has the exact same problem and it occurred at the exactly the same time.

I really don't get what's wrong or where to go from here. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Microsoft's support staff and help sections are useless.Have you tired to shut everything down and than boot the modem...wait a min than boot the router...wait a min and than boot your machine?

It's a USB Modem, so it only connects once I boot up my laptop. I've tried shutting everything down, booting the computer, waiting a few minutes, then plugging in the USB modem and CONNECTING. That doesn't work.

Solve : Opening Email attachments?

Answer»

I use Outlook Explorer 6 on Windows 2000. When opening an Email attachment I got the "Open With" window, Selected Adobe Reader 9 and then stupidly clicked "Always use this program to open attacments". Now attachments other than pdf files will not open, and I do not find the window where I can reverse this INSTRUCTION. Can SOMEBODY please help me.If you right CLICK on a document type, i.e. Word (the one you chose to use pdf with as well) and choose properties, you can select there which program to use as the default for that media type.Thanks pcwizard for the advice. However I still do not seem to GET it right. Where should I right click on document type as you suggest? When for example I try to open a .jpg file I get the screen that asks if I want to Open or Save to Disk. If I select Open it goes by default to Adobe Reader which does not recognise the file type and to open the file I must first save it in a temporary folder. Am I missing something? I no longer get the screen which gives me the "Open with" option.Instead of changing the file ASSOCIATION in the email app do it from Search....do a search for *.jpg......in the results pane right clik any of the files and do it from there.You don't even need to search for the files if you already have one to click on. Right click the file and choose properties (at the bottom) then at the top choose 'Change' under 'open with' section

Solve : Under Cover XP help?

Answer»

I am runnind Under Cover XP Program to make Lables fore my CDs and DVDs.

And so far so good you can print the Swqre Covers or Round Lables that go on the DVDs.

But one thing I don't know how to pull up or find the Templeates that will LINE up with the way it will print on my Papper.

What I MEEN is when you buy Lables they will be say Two to a page. How do I tell Under Cover XP ware to print eatch Lable??

I see everything for telling Under Cover XP how big to print the Wholes and how big to print the DVDs Lable but not how to Put them down and how many to put on a Page.

Can someone help??I am no help at all.
I gave up doing labels and just use a marking pen.
But, if I want to print labels, I would use a kit that has both the labels and the whatever in one done deal.It even has a thing to help you align the HOLES on the CDs
The one I had used was from Memorex and is SOLD almost everywhere.

Some software, like Nero, have the right settings for use with Memorex labels.Quote

What I meen is when you buy Lables they will be say Two to a page. How do I tell Under Cover XP ware to print eatch Lable??

I don't use Under Cover but isn't the print position dictated by the form being used? See the attachment Forms.jpg - it seems Under Cover limits the form use to just two forms manufacturers.

Quote
I see everything for telling Under Cover XP how big to print the Wholes and how big to print the DVDs Lable but not how to Put them down and how many to put on a Page.

Isn't the number of images on a page controlled by setting up the Left and Right pages then checking the BOX to print on a single page?

Solve : Numbering won't restart in MS Word?

Answer»

I am a very experienced Word user but I am frustrated by an issue I can't FIGURE out. Whenever I am creating a document containing lists (which is pretty much every document I work with) and I have to start a new list, I highlight the text and go to Format>Bullets and Numbering and select Restart Numbering. The weird thing is that the list does not restart numbering but picks up where the last list left off UNTIL I click the undo button on the toolbar. Once I do that, everything RENUMBERS properly. Of course, this works fine, but the thing that bothers me is that it shouldn't - and I'm one of these people who - due to my experience - should be able to explain why this happens. Also I'm nagged by the fact that I shouldn't have to do this, there is OBVIOUSLY a setting somewhere that overrides the intial command and I want to know what it is.IIRC there has been an unresolved glitch in versions of Word since NINETEEN canteen, but the following article on the Word MVP site may be useful:

Word Numbering Explained

The Word MVP site is a brilliant resource for anyone who needs to write complex documents in Word.

Good LUCK.

Solve : Font help?

Answer»

I need help geting more FONTS for my computer.

I whent to About.com and they have a topic about Fonts.
And I click on Download 100 Free Fonts.

But I get lost I donload something and then I click pon it and it Installs.
Then after I install it it brings up a Window that taks me to a web site to click the fonts I wont to Install even after I thought I did Install them.

Then it tell me on the page after you download the Fonts you want install them to Win Dire for Fonts.

I don't know what I m doing so I UN installed wht I did.

Can someone tell me ware to go just for Fonts and you download them and install them??

ThanksGoogle.....

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314960

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+to+install+fonts&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

You must know which folder you are downloading to.Well I ment.

I am RUNNING win xp pro and I know I go to Controle Pannle and click the Fonts Folder and it opens and I see all my Fonts that are installed.

And if I go to the top Tab I think Vuwe or edit or in one of these Tabs it Says Ad New Font and you select the Font Type that you want to install.

And you select from the list what Fonts to install.

I get this I just don't know how to get the Font Type on my Decktop so I can go into Controle Pannle and click on Ad New Font.

Use Notepad to see your current Fonts.

Obviously 100 free fonts is too much for you to handle right now. Fonts generally do not come with an installer so clicking on a font will not install it. LOTS of fonts come in a zipped file (fontname.zip) so have to be unzipped before being installed.

So goto http://www.fontcubes.com/ and download the font named Ginga. This comes in a file named Ginga.zip. You must know to which folder your browser or download manager will download this.

When the downloading is complete browse to where the file is stored and click on it. Your default unzipping program (WinZip, IZarc etc..) will open and unzip the file to wherever you want, be it the desktop or any other location.

Now goto Control Panel>Fonts>File tab>Install New Font. Browse to where the unzipped font is stored and Ginga.ttf will appear in the List of Fonts box. Highlight it and click OK. The Ginga.ttf font will now be installed.

Practice a few times then go for your 101 download..

Good luck.Quote from: nymph4 on March 21, 2009, 07:29:55 PM

Solve : Windows Media File Sharing failure on my computer!?

Answer»

Hi everyone, this is my first post here, and I please hope that you GUYS can help me out here. The problem started yesterday, literally right after I downloaded internet explorer 8 to my computer (if you are wondering, I use vista). After the download and restart, everything seemed to be ok with my computer, until I wanted to stream some music from windows media player through my Xbox 360 while I was playing. I then get a message that says it cant connect to my computer, and to check my media sharing settings. I try to enable it again, and it says there might be a firewall problem. I disable my firewalls, try it again, and it still wont go through. I did ANYTHING and everything I could think of, even one of my good friends (whos the IT department director at his job) tried everything he could and it didnt work. My Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 cant even connect to my computer through my network anymore, its as if my computer is invisible to everything. He said to copy the WMP settings from another Vista enabled computer, which I will do, but it is probably my last and best shot. I tried to run system restore, but my computer has no real usable restore points, so that didnt work. What should I do? Uninstall IE8
Go back to 7 it's more stable.

Quote

I tried to run system restore, but my computer doesn't even set up.
What does that mean? What EXACTLY happens when you try to do a system restore?

Have you tried rebooting the router yet?I cant uninstall IE8 and go back to IE7, I tried many times, and my friend said it wasnt possible to do that anyway. System restore didnt work cause there were no restore points, and rebooting the router doesnt work, I just tried it. When you open control panel and select Add/Remove Programs make sure there is a check mark next to "show updates" near the top of the screen.

Can you see IE8 now?

Quote
my friend is the IT department director at his job and said it wasnt possible to do that anyway
Really??

http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2817/how_to_uninstall_ie8/Hm, I see that I can uninstall it, but wont it crash my system? My friend said that it was so integrated into Vista that it could cause a lot of problems if I did it.I've never had that happen.

What does your friend do again? Does he work with/on windows computers?Hes the head of the IT department where he works, and he works with windows all the time. Another thing, if I uninstall IE8 on my computer, how do I get IE7 back on? Is it already in the computer?Quote from: JJ 3000 on March 21, 2009, 01:13:03 AM


http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2817/how_to_uninstall_ie8/
It should just roll back to 7

If you are hesitant about removing it, just create a restore point in system restore before you do it.

Ok, I'll try it out tomorrow, I gotta get some SLEEP. I'll let you know if it fixes the problem.I tried it, and it worked. Thanks a lot for the advice man.Way to go!

Solve : CD Spanning help?

Answer»

I know if I put File into my CD Writer I can just USE win XP pro to Burn the CD.

I just go to File then Writ to CD.

But how do I get it to Burn the CD till it is Full and then spit it out and ask for another to put the leftover Files on to??Does anyone know how to Span CD when you Burn them??Hey Nymph, I thot you'd found how to use GOOGLE...

http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&q=spanning+cd%27s&meta=We read you! No need to say it again!
Why not just get a DVD burner instead of a CD burner? Lots more space.
You can find a UTILITY somewhere that is used for spanning. It creates compressed blobs o' data that will fit into a CD. The you have to use that program again to un compress the blobs o' data and put into a folder of whatever.

People use to do this with a big stack floppy discs. Three months later
one of the floppy discs un duz itself and the whole set is near useless.

Oh Oh, somebody else just gave a better answer. I Think.Soory that is what I have.

I have a DVD Burner and it is a DL Burner.

I was looking for FREE Disk Spanning program.

All I find is programs that have a lot of things I will never use.
And it ends up not being free??I found a program at
http://www.deepburner.com/?r=download

Please tell me someone USES this program???

When I ad my Folder I want to Burn and then Click Burn it says Writing in prograss.

And then says compleate and spits the disk out.

And ware it says Burn Multi Disk Session I pick NO.

So I know it closses the sesson.

But when I check the disk there is no Folder on it
and I can use the disk again so that tells me there is Data on it.

Please helpAnyone??
There e mail does no work.You can do a Google on 'file spanner' and get lots of hits. So you could use that to breakup up a large block in clunkds taht would fit onto CDs. Of course, you need enough hard drive space as a work area to put it together again.Most Good burning apps do this automatically...i use CDBurnerXPro.

Solve : corel photo paint shop pro XI?

Answer»

I have just started having a problem keeping my photo pro shop program open. I try to SCROLL through the picture files to select a photo and a message will COME up that it has expexienced a problem and needs to shut down-send error report and when you click on that button it shuts the program down.
I have recently saved pictures and files to a disc and I have recently tried to upload files and pictures to website using FTP and pictures are not being seen.
I also need help in finding a guide to using FTP because I must not be doing that PROPERLY either.
Please Help
I've contacted corel, register.com, who provides my hosting service, filezilla, and DELL, I have microsoft windows xps HOME computer

:DI got it done! I had to go into the computer and reinstall the program to get it to upload the pictures into the program. Also, I was finally able to talk to someone from register.com to have them help me thru the filezilla FTP process. It was so simple that I complicated it by MAKING it harder!-Isn't that how it always is!?!

Solve : Computer Backup. How do I ??

Answer»

How do I SAVE and keep safe all my stuff I've put on my computer ? it's my first computer. a Compaq Presario SR1500NX with the 2nd service pack. when I first started using it someone from support walked me through the steps of saving everything onto 10 CD-R discs. so I have those, now I'm wanting to save all my digital photo's, scanned images, videos and all the USUAL stuff we collect on these things. I tried following an article by Ed Bott. "Windows XP Backup Made Easy" but when it asks to insert my Windows XP CD I not only can't find such a disc I don't remember if it ever had one. all I could find was "Works8 & Microsoft Money" I'm guessing that's not the disc we need.


On another note, the process Ed Bott describes seems fairly easy and inexpensive, that is if I had the disc they ask for, so I was wondering, why are there more expensive products out there for doing this ? I saw something on the news I wish I could remember the name of the product ! it was basically two boxes, one box saved everyting on your computer and the other box backed up the first box, it COST in the $ 200.00 range. I've searched and can't seem to find it now.
There are many ways to back up your data, but the safest way is to store it EXTERNALLY .... i.e. on an external Hard Drive, CD or DVD. The METHOD you use will depend on how much data you have to backup.
For example a CD will hold approx 700mb, a DVD5 4.37GB, DVD9 8.5GB or and an External Hard Drive can be anything upto 1.5TB.
All you need to copy to CD or DVD is a Burning program and to store on an External Hard Drive, everything you need is already in Windows.

Solve : Winamp Unsung Hero??

Answer»

Hey does ANYONE use Winamp anymore? For videos and/or audio? It has a new interface but it seems it's the same. It's kinda weak but simple. Skinning is EASY but it doesn't have the power and features as the others out now. Even Real and Windows Media Player is as old but still going strong. Winamp is LIKE a cool friend but you don't want to date the person. You don't want to use it for your media. Does it cut it for you anymore?I use it...since my computer is older and i can't get Itunes(i can but its an older version which cant connect to my Ipod 3G Nano)

It's pretty slick, doesn't eat up as much mem as Itunes.Winamp is good but still faltering. I love it but sometimes I am ashamed to be using it. All the people who were using it longer than I have have turned against it. It's good but that kinda look doesn't work for Winamp. I wish, hope and pray for WMP12 to come out, like now! Tired of version 11 and I hope I can still use my older skins, especially ones from skinsfactory.Who knows....Hopefully Win Media Player will add support for syncing with IpodI was hoping they would allow Xion Player could play videos too. It only plays audio and i think .mp4 files. It's a great software and not over the top. I want to make my own skins for any media player or program I want. I tried to make VLC skins but the program couldn't work with me. I did succeed in using Winamp skins for VLC but it looked ugly and fake. I hated it. Uninstalled both sets of files. I just want my own feel to it, not just what some other person created. I appreciate my own creations better. I wish Yahoo! Music Jukebox were still around and not canceled. It just needed to support video playback and images too. It REALLY suped up MusicMatch. The colour was great. Nice purple. Real Player was good too but it's trying to do so many things at once. It also tried pathetically to copy WMP11. Not cool! It has features I love and can be powerful most of the time but the look needs to change and this Rhapsody is dumb. It also looks stale. Nothing to be excited about. I hope that in the future the whole media players on your PC goes away. It may be streaming media to your TV, laptop or hardware mp3 or mp4 players. I think that's why Apple is smart. It tries to centralize everything so we don't get bombarded with so many players or software. PCs suck up enough power anyway.I just remembered something...No one talks much about Zune these days. The program is goofy and it doesn't play many video files. The colour is lame. It should be black or multi-coloured. Maybe grey and black or mercury but unique.


I have an mp4 player which looks pretty much the same as an iPod which plays videos. But can I go somewhere and have them change the colour of the exterier. Maybe paint the USA flag on it or so? Or is it not possible? The colour is silver/grey but I wanna spruce it up a bit.


Please assist.wait a second- what's wrong with WMP? I can't think of any players that even come close in my book...WMP is good and I have used it for a while. I just wish that they would allow playback for other files and include codecs and plugins in their setups and all. The look for WMP11 is okay but boring now. WMP12 is new so it looks good and will look good for a while to me. I think WMP should be all that it can be.

Peace out!err- there are plugins for wmp. RIGHT now I can play NES NSF files, SNES SPCs, N64 USFs, OGG, MP3, WMA, etc etc.

and all the video's I've tried worked fine too.

I cannot remember what version of wmp I have though...Thanks for the help BC_Programmer . I am using version 11. I hope they can release version 12 very soon. I don't want to bash WMP but MS love to play games with their users and delay things. If you do know how to get a proper working setup program I would appreciate it much.woops I meant to say winamp, not wmp!

a setup program for what?I was asking about Windows Media Player 12. I have seen screenshots of it online and they all look legit. It's in the Win 7 beta software but I don't have access to that.It is a hacked beast that you will have issues with...this was explained in your other post.
MS has not released it yet and the ver. that is in Win7 is a work in progress...Patio, thanks for the update. I have made a note of it.You're more than Welcome.

Solve : how to deactivate Outlook auto start up?

Answer»

every time I enter or edit email addresses in a document or spreadsheet and click on an email by mistake, Outlook starts up. It's annoying and really slows me down. Does anyone know how to turn that off? Thank you!What Office Suite do you use?thanks for your REPLY. I use Office 2003The only thing I came across is this, if you're using Word:

Quote

Highlight the whole text with your mouse. (Or, you can also press CTRL+A.)
Press the combination of CTRL+SHIFT+F9. (Remember! You must press these three keys simultaneously.)
thank you very much. It doesn't seem to work. Outlook still starts up. but thanks anyway. In Word, go to Tools, Options, Edit, and check the box for "Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink". The same option is not available in Excel. When using Excel, if you use arrow keys to move into a cell containing a hyperlink, that will not open Outlook, as long as you don't click on the link. You can also right click on a link in Excel and select Remove Hyperlink. It will remain removed until you put the cell in Edit mode and hit Enter. Thanks a lot Soybean. Deactivating a hyperlink in a cell works fine, but it's only POSSIBLE for one cell. Most spreadsheets have hundreds of email addresses, and even though I navigate with arrow keys, it's still very likely to click on an hyperlink by mistake and set Outlook off. Happens to me all the time. I have not found a WAY to format/deactivate hyperlinks for a whole column or spreadsheet. I tried doing it in one cell, then using the format copy key to apply the same format to other cells, but it wont' take. deactivating just one cell at a time is too time consuming. If you have any other thoughts, would love to hear them. Thank again. Maybe there's a way in XP to switch off Outlook as the default email PROGRAM for all applications? Even when I click on an email address on a website, it comes up - often I prefer to use gmail anyway. I figured out how to do it: very SIMPLE: in the START menu, go to "Set Program Access and Default", which is the icon right under Control Panel in Windows XP. There, you can go to the Windows setting and change the default email program.

Solve : Laptop charger help!?

Answer»

Hey, I bought a new laptop charger today (it's the origianl one, r500 LG laptop one), but it says it's plugged in but not charging?


is there any settings or something so I can change it? cause it stays at 0 percent, and says plugged in, not charging Urgent, I REALLY need helpHave you tested the charger on another laptop? How do you know its any good?

Hmm, well it's a new charger that's MADE for my laptop model, so yea it's good. And it does charge the laptop, I'm on it right now, it's just the laptop stays at 0 percent (while running) and doesn't continue charging. Even if I leave it on during the night while closed, it still doesn't charge the laptop :/I have a battery charger, and I cannot use it if it is plugged into a multi-socket extension cord with a switch on, so I have to use wall-outlets. So maybe you have to use a different outlet or maybe the laptop battery is not FUNCTIONAL. Maybe (hopefully) it's something else
It sounds LIKE the battery just isn't charging, and that the laptop is running directly from the wall outlet.

How old is the laptop?hi i'm new here,but i'll try to have a comment^^

hmmmm!!! ok ... first check your battery if it is defective or not working... if it is not just use your warranty on your "new" charger to replace it in a newer one ....^^ hope this will help u??

sorry about my grammar^^Sounds to me like you need a new battery.ON MY PHILLIPS LAPTOP I HAD TO GO INTO THE BIOS AND ON TGHE MAIN PAGE THERES AN OPTION CALLED CALIBRATEBATTERY. WHEN SELECTED IT DECHARGES THE BATTERY THEN RECHARGES IT AND SYNCHRONISES THE BATTERY WITH THE THINGY IN THE COMPUTER THAT TELLS IT HOW MUCH CHARGE IS IN/CHARGING ECT.THEN IT CONTIUNUES TO BOOT. WHEN THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALIBRATED AGAIN THE COMPUTER STARTS TO NOT RUN PROPERLEY AGIN, IT NEEDS TO BE REPEATED EVERY SO OFTEN. WE HAVE NEEDED TO DO IT TWICE SO FAR. COMPUTER IS 2 YRS OLD!
I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY! INITIALLY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM "BATTERY NOT CHARGING"And this made your capslock button stuck ? ?
I'd get a new battery and charger if this condition persists...Sorry i didnt realise about the caps button aspect... i type in caps at work as it is easier to read, my apologies.No problem...it looks like shouting in a Forum atmosphere though...

love computers that's why im being wise to choose my hardwares... Why would we KEEP ourselves using gadgets that makes our work much more stressful. We should choose gadgets and devices that will make our works lot easier.....


That's a very nice sentiment. It's easy to start with "gadget" and devices that are stress-free, but the more we INTERCONNECT, the more we have the software do, the more chances for something to GO wrong. There are many examples of systems that are working fine one day, and then, simply because SOMEONE adds or removes software, they have problems. "I loaded this game on my COMPUTER, and now my iPod won't sync" -- that sort of thing.

I would try Windows Updates first.

If that doesn't work then install the latest version of .Net Framework. http://www.filehippo.com/download_dotnet_framework_3/

what one do I download?

ok so I downloaded .net file and it still hasnt gone away I also may think that something could be wrong.

For all of a sudden my computer is acting strangely. Blue Screen/Freezing randomly.

EDIT: Hey Im going out to dinner im gonna leave me computer on and see if anything happens while im gone. CyaPost a fresh HJT log.here buddy

Realtek AC97 Audio - Event Monitor. "Sypware" file used surreptitiously monitor one's actions. It is not a sinister one, like remote control programs, but it is being used by Realtek to gather data about customers

----------

I don't seee anything RELATED to the .Net Framework that we can use HJT to fix.

To resolve this, download Autoruns for Windows and search for the related entry and then delete it.

  • Create a new folder on your HARD drive called AutoRuns (C:\AutoRuns) and extract (UNZIP) the file there. (click HERE if your not sure how to do this.)
  • Open the folder and double-click on autoruns.exe to launch it.
  • If using Windows Vista, Right-click autoruns.exe and Run As Administrator

  • When done scanning, it will say Ready at the bottom.
  • Scroll through the list and look for a startup entry related to the file(s) in the error message > MFC71.dll
  • Right click on the entry and choose delete
  • Reboot your computer and see if the startup error returns.

Sorry for not updating regularly Broni but life has been very HECTIC lately. Here is the latest: I downloaded the AVG free file you gave the link to. It tells me that AVG 7 is INSTALLED on this system and it is not recommended to install AVG 8. WITHOUT first removing AVG 7.

So I tried to go to the file of AVG 8 in the start menu and try the uninstall from there. It then tells me this: Uninstall failed! 1 error occured, Click DETAILS to show information. Then under details it says: (Local machine: prepared for the installation Installation:Error: Uninstallation is not possible. Product not installed.) That's where we are at the moment.

What have we got for the hard option?

You didn't read my previous reply carefully enough:

I have only been able to update my free version of AVG once, it never allows me to update.OK.
Give me fresh HJT log.I'm sorry Broni but I said in my last post that the AVG Free installer doesn't have the uninstall option. It only has the new install option listed. Try Revo: http://www.revouninstaller.com/I had the same issue...
Tried almost everything (disbling services, regedits, you name it...), except....
I was like: Surfing till my eyes are crossed and no-one a solution on my errors, trying to uninstall / reinstall AVG? I did the unthinkable (meaning: I never thought of it!)

Solve : Windows wont start up after installing motherboard_driver_ide_nvidia_c19!?

Answer»

Hi i try to every so often clean my comp. This time i chose to reinstall windows and format my C drive(where windows was installed) The HD is partitioned in 3 segments.


Motherboard: GA-8N-sli pro
Processor: intep Pentium 4
Graphixcard: club 3d 7600 GT

Now.... I started with the XP home edition cd and followed the steps. When it promted me if i wanted to install a fresh xp i did so. All was going well until i was FINISHED installing XP and started with the drivers from the cd i got with my computer.

Nvidia nforce 4 sli Intel edition series motherboard utility cd (ver. 1.0) - gigabyte technology.

The first set of drivers installed just fine (from what i could see) but as soon as i installed the last one, motherboard_driver_ide_nvidia_c19, Windows wont get past the loading PAGE. (XP home edition logo with loading bar).

I messed AROUND with the restore functions the XP cd gives you, Tried both the first(with the command fictions) and the second one. But it didn't help. Tried this a few times and got frustrated. Trying to get into save mode also didn't do anything.

I started messing around in the bios(prolly not a good idea as I'm not a whizz at it) which gave me all sort of *censored*, cant detect the hd and such, raid arrays being detected, and so on.
After some long struggling i got it to detect the HD again and did a full format on the PARTITION using the "D" function then "L" and reinstalled windows again. Worked fine.
his time i decided to get my driver off the internet (my laptop) so i would have the LATEST drivers. But after installing the same last driver XP was unwilling to restart again.

Can anyone help me figure this out, I'm trying to stay away from sending it to the repairs as i am not that high on funds atm and i need this workstation to be operational :/.

THNX

Ewaldus

p.s. sorry for the big block of text but i wanted to show all my steps.Laptop or Desktop ? ?
I would start with removing the CMOS battery for 10 minutes or so to reset everything back to default setup...
Then re-install XP and make sure it is installing to C:
Then re-install the MBoard drivers and re=boot...
Ignore the stubborn nVidia drivers for now and let Windows use the native drivers then go online and look for updated nVidia drivers...
Best of Luck.

I saved PICTURES from a digital camera onto my floppy disks. I can open all but 2 images. the images do not fully load. they are there because when i go to print, it shows the whole image but a lot smaller. How can i load that image fully?, please HELP, very important imageUnfortunately when an image doesn't fully load it's OFTEN an indication that the image is corrupt. However, if that was the case I'd ASSUME that it wouldn't be printing the full image either. Try saving the image files to the hard disk drive and open the images from there.

When I use the MENU "move to folder" option, included in the drop down are both of my Outlook calendars. And I have mistakenly selected those. How do I view/retrieve that email back that was moved to those ALLEGED folders?

THANKS. Open the folder and drag the e-mail to the folder you WANT it in.Let me elaborate--- I don't have a "mail folder" called SMART or calendar. These are names of my calendars. However both of these are LISTED in that "move to folder" drop down and I have mistakenly selected them. Not sure if this will work, but you can try: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197038/en-us?spid=2520&sid=global

Solve : Problem installling Office 2007?

Answer»

I have Office 2007, both on an official Microsoft retail DVD and as a downloaded file. At first I could not perform a clean INSTALL of it on my Vista laptop, but I INSTALLED Office 2003 and then used the DVD to upgrade it, so I then had Office 2003 and Office 2007 side by side. Just this evening I removed Office 2003.

So I tried to open Outlook 2007 to set up my Hotmail, and I can launch the program but keep getting errors when I go to 'Account Options'. The error message advised me to restart Outlook and reinstall if the problem persists.

I tried repairing the installation from the DVD, but that resulted in a Microsoft bootstrapper error. I am now attempting to repair the installation through the Repair option in Add/Remove Programs.

I've looked for help on this ISSUE and have found nothing. I can probably use Office 2003 but I paid a lot of money for Office 2007 and I'd like to use it.Quote from: MBP1982 on March 12, 2009, 11:40:01 PM

Then, that was not an upgrade, it was a full installation of Office 2007, along with Office 2003. A true upgrade would have left you with only Office 2007.

Why do have Office 2007 from two sources? Did you buy it twice? From whom did you buy it (for both DVD and download)? Did you pay a normal price for it or was this one of those super low priced deals that SOMETIMES appear on the Internet? I bought it from my school store - it was a download, and I also opted for a 'backup' disk, of which was Office 2007 'unlicensed'. It's genuine Microsoft SOFTWARE, as it says so on the packaging and on the disk.

Anyway, I chose to repair the installation through 'Add/Remove Programs' and rebooted, and it is working fine now.

Answer»

My boss has been working on a Microsoft Word document for the past 5 days. She saved the document regularly. She opened the document today, worked for about 3 hours, saved it and when she re-opened the document it was empty.. Completely blank!! I have looked in the recent folder/my documents/searched for any other saved copies but they all come back blank. Is there anyway I can retrieve the work she has done, or restore the document back to this morning because it was fine then. I’m really at a loss to how to retrieve the information she’s typed up.
I would appreciate any help or advice and thank you for your time READING this. BTW, my appraisal is on 20th March

Solve : Outlook 2003 Pro problem?

Answer»

Hello,

I've recently developed a problem with Outlook Pro 2003 on my non-networked computer, which runs XP.

When I click Sent ITEMS the folder will not OPEN and I instead GET the message "Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Office Outlook could not access the specified folder location." The same problem has begun to occur with Calendar. I've seen a number of postings on other sites about similar problems, but these all seem to involve MS Exchange.

Any help your members could supply will be gratefully received. PLEASE note that I have next to no technical knowledge of computing so I'd appreciate it if your replies were pitched at dummy level.

Thanks

John. Have you tried clicking on Help / Detect and repair?

Alan <>< Thanks Alan,

I tried 'Detect and Repair', which appeared to reinstall Outlook. I was able to access the sent items, but today the problem reoccurred. Any thoughts on why this may have happened.

Also, any idea where the sent items are likely to be stored on the computer? I can't find them.

John. Sorry but no. I QUITE using Outlook because it kept giving me problem after problem. I'm using Thunderbird and with the extensions you can add on it's just as efficient as Outlook...was.

Solve : Software Drivers Not installing properly and/or not compatible with Vista?

Answer»

To give you a better initial idea of what my problem is I have attached screen shots of the not working driver list. the errors that occur when vista attempts to install new hardware and the files which I have already tried using to install my drivers.

Prelim information:
My name is James and I would be very grateful if someone could help me solve this problem.
I was unfortunate enough to download a virus called DNS Changer along with some other VIRUSES when I downloaded a cd crack for an old game that I legitimately owned. I scanned the file but my virus program didn't detect a virus until I had unzipped and installed the fake crack. Anyway long story SHORT, I copied all the files I wished to keep, downloaded a program that I used to make a boot disk that wiped my hard drives completely called something like "kill disk". I then downloaded a program for my specific hard drive ( I have 2 western digit hard drives with 250g space each). This formatted my hard drives correctly and let me install a new version of vista (I previously had windows XP) that my UNIVERSITY had provided me along with a cd key (they have some agreement with microsoft). I now have vista running as you can see. Was very pleased with myself as I had a few problems installing vista until I had correctly formatted my hard drives.

The problem is I didn't set this computer up and I have never set up a computer before.

I know I have to install drivers and I have tried for days but I have not successfully installed one driver.
I tried installing an audigy two sound driver for starters. This got the sound working and told me to restart.
I restarted my pc and the sound was not working again. When i tried to install a new driver it would give me the error message that new drivers had been installed and I had to restart my pc. I downloaded a program called driver sweeper to remove the information clogging the system and I think this worked. Now when the computer starts up it detects new hardware but from an unknown device as seen in the screen shots.

FYI: My motherboard is an 'ASUS P5GD2 Deluxe Wireless Edition motherboard'. I use this wireless to connect to a wireless router in my house hold. I am yet to work out how to connect to the net as the wireless hardware appears non existent. I think this also has to do with drivers. But I can not seem to find the right ones and some I have found have come up with a "this is not compatible with your version of windows" error.

Also, I hope this doesn't matter but when I was using the program to fix my hard drives I had to choose the operating system. There was no vista option so I chose XP and clicked another box next to it. I had to do this as without clicking the box which had some jargon letters next to it, the hard drive would not work format correctly. It let me format the whole 250 Gig instead of a strange 130 gig thing the hard drive installer had been talking about.

Also the sound card is a "Creative sound blaster audigy 2 ZS 24bit."
I use a 6.1 surround sound set up.

My computer is about 4 to 5 years old and this is the first reformat I have done.

Thanks in advance ,
James


[attachment deleted by admin]Here seems to be Vista driver: http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&subCatID=205&prodID=4915&prodName=Audigy%202%20ZS&subCatName=Audigy&CatName=Sound+BlasterThanks for your help. That installed my sound driver correctly although the sound only worked for a second. the system thinks its playing sound but I don't hear anything come from the speakers. Also how would I get my wireless lan working for the Asus motherboard built in wireless. Once I have the internet I'll be able to download software that updates for me automatically. That's my real goal.

Thank you for your continuing help.The wireless drivers should be on the ASUS Driver CD that shipped with the mboard...if not travel to ASUS's site for the correct ones.
With the wireless driver you may want to re-install the MBoard drivers first...Quote

Once I have the internet I'll be able to download software that updates for me automatically
How would you achieve the above?

I'd also try the card in another computer to make sure, the card is OK.
You may also remove the card temporarily, and see, if the on-board sound will kick in.

Solve : help with DVD Labe program?

Answer»

I am useing the FREE program CD and DVD Label Maker

I wanted to know if anyone uses it if they can tell me how to make Text Rap Around the DVD Label you make??The software forum has changed places on the main page Nymph. You keep posting these in the Malware forum.

Moved...again.I think UnderCoverXP does that. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/undercoverxp.htmlWhy does it say Software and you tell me it's Mail Ware Forume???I moved it from the malware forum.Thanks for all the help but one thing?

When I use UnderCoverXP to make a CD Lable or DVD Lable and I CLICK Print it PRINTS.

But it Prints at the top of the Page a little to the Left.
And it just Prints One Lable to go on the CD or DVD.

But when you go to buy Lable Papper they have a Lot on one page.
And some are in a Diferant number.

You may buy a Lable Templeate that has Two CD or DVD Lables on one page right next to eatch other or one right under the other one.

How do I now what Papper to get or how do I pick the Papper I have in the Program???Have you looked in Options > FORMAT editor?

I've only used it a few times so technical questions I'm probably not too good with. I just know it's one of the better ones I've used...

Solve : XP installed, now no sound?

Answer»

I have an Acer x1700. I installed XP to get rid of Vista and now the sound and video are gone. It says there are "no devices." Can you please tell me what I need to download to get them back? Your help will be much appreciated.go to device manager and check if its missing drivers...YES it is. i have actually cured that. now i find the "video controller (VGA compatible)" also has disappeared! (This is the description it gives in the device manager). I can play videos from my hard drive (taken on camera etc) and from the Internet, but not DVDs.

I tried download one from the Acer site, but they only have ones for Vista.

Any help you provide will be much appreciated.
Thank you!
this kinda crap usually happens after down grading your SYSTEM from vista to xp...

when i say crap... i mean... DRIVER *censored*!!!
ahhh!!!!!runaway!!!!

we in the buisness have so fourth nicnamed it diver *censored* and usually an alarm goes off in the building and we close shop for a week.

okay enough with the ridiculous stories and down with the *censored*..

dude all i think i can tell you here is keep FINDING the drivers for it as they disappear..
it sucks and its *censored*. but all techs will deal with it..

and if acer dont have it find other sites...

i could go SEARCHING if you LIKE?Download Everest
http://majorgeeks.com/download4181.html

Install it then
Open it, click Computer, then Summary.
In upper menu, go Report>Quick Report-Summary
Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post.
Don't include anything under line Debug - PCIFor DVDs you will need to install a software decoder, because XP does not come with one by default.

I believe K-lite mega codec pack will do this for you.

Solve : Cannot open any Mircrosoft Works spreadsheets?

Answer»

My wife was having problems opening a Microsoft Works spreadsheet on her laptop. She had opened it and used it the night before with no problem. It's on a Sandi's memory stick BTW. She keeps getting a message that says:

Microsoft Works cannot open another spreadsheet or database. You can only have 6 worksheets or databases open at ONE time. Close at least one spreadsheet or database and then try again.

I TOOK her memory stick and tried the same THING on our home computer to no avail. I then copied the particular spreadsheet to a floppy and it still would not open. I tried to open different ones and received the same message. What 's the deal?

I'm using Microsoft Works 2004.No takers?Have you copied this MS Works file to the Desktop?

Quick question, you haven't been able to open the file on any other computer?No I havent but I'll give it a try, and I haven't been able to open it on my home computer either.Try it on as many computers as you can.
If it still wont open, you may have to face the fact that the data is lost.My wife can open them on the computer at her BUSINESS. To open a spreadsheet, does it matter if the spreadsheet has been created by a different version of Works?Yes.

If the version the Works file is created in is higher than the version you have at home, you cannot open it.

They must be the same version.

I'm sure you can SAVE the works file as an older version to allow older version of MS Works to open it.That's probably it then. I had originally thought I was using 04 as my wife's business but I had gotten an 07 version from work and also loaded the same on her laptop.
