Solve : Running VLC Media Player?

Answer»

OK, I do see some progress here.Contained within your post #11 is your reference
"I downloaded and installed the GOM Player. When I click on the desktop icon the player open. With the disc in I click on play and immediately an open file window OPENS. I navigate to the DVD ROM and click on the movie at that point another window opens and there are 2 files *JACKET_P and VIDEO_TS* Not exactly sure what to do NEXT from here."
The progress is that the DVD optical drive is displaying the "content" of the drive. Which does mean that the optical reader of the drive is functioning. If after doing as Allan suggests "Double-click on Video_TS to play the video." There is no player coming forth to play the video then your problem is more than likely 1. Not using a proper player. or 2. Trying to play the video on a computer with inadequate resources to play videos.
Which brings me to an observation from the "hardware CH forum WHEREIN you have created the following post; " System requirements to play a DVD question 69Z28"
Is it possible that the current "software" issue we are dealing with is related to a DVD optical drive in one of the computers that was deemed to be marginally able to deal with D VD's? truenorth

No I don't believe so. There was a another file I downloaded with VLC, *ffdshow* which I just installed. Now I can play the DVD thru Windows when I click on the VLC player and I can play the DVD's using the GOM player, however, you are correct in saying the computer is inadequate. The video play is FINE but the sound is out of sync with the video, as in you can see the mouths move but the sound is behind it.

Anyway...I am canning the whole idea of playing DVD's on this computer. I thought I would give it a try for the sake of the kids getting away from their mom to get some peace...LOL. Thanks.

Now on to the other computer. I believe there should not be any issues with that computer. It is a 1000MHZ machine the other was only 300MHZ.

Thanks for the help and I'll keep ya posted.

Sorry I decided to g-file the whole idea. The computer I was working on is not adequate enough to play a DVD. Actually it will play with all the players, WMP, VLC and GOM but boy is it choppy.

Pentium II 300mhz 412MB RAM. The DVD's will play but the sound isn't in sync with the video. The voices are behind when the people are speaking.yeah that's a tad SLOW for DVD. my 350Mhz machine was only able to do so with a older version of the DVD player software for it's video card.

This way I would have it.The site I linked came from Googling for "windows 98 first edition updates" (without the " "), there's a lot more info out there.

Sure you can download and save the updates, I have all of the updates since SP.3 (Win XP) in a hard disk folder for backup. Also you could burn the files to cd/dvd.

Yeah I was just entering Windows 98 updates or critical updates and food some info but not what you gave me the link for.

On downloading and burning...I'm rather a newbie to SAVING data to a disc. I've done a few music CD's and a couple DVD's with Decrypter and Shrink. I have Roxio as well but only used it to erase some writable discs. I was planning to just making a folder for each download and putting them on my desktop, but making a data disc, I'm not to sure about. I'll Google burning a data disc and see what comes up. Can you tell me how you do it?


ThanksQuote from: 69z28

The choice is yours but it wouldn't be my first pick having one download PER folder especially on the desktop. I would create a folder for the downloads (say C:\Win98updates) and download all the updates into it. If you click on the first update on the link I posted you'll see it redirects to a MS site which advises Quote
If you are running Windows 98:

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:
Download 168115us8.exe now

When you click on that link you are redirected to the MS download center from which downloading will take place. Direct the downloader to save the file to wherever you want.

As to burning disks, you have Roxio which is as good as many. If you don't have a Roxio user manual see this site..

I wasn't able to download any thing. A window keeps popping up saying Internet explorer cannot download file, etc. Not able to open the site (microsoft), The site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Try LATER. Bummer.

Solve : I've got a bazilion text documents, can I delete them w/no harm??

Answer»

Lots of text docs in mycomputer/windows file on C DRIVE, maybe restore points? Looking at cleaning stuff up to get better performance. Delete except most recent? What does one think? Addition, these are labelled KB with 6 numbers after them, about 2-30 KB's each.Restore points are not text documents and they are in a hidden folder (SYSTEM Volume Information). Also, they are huge.

You are looking at Windows Update uninstall files - the names are probably in blue text. Yes, you may delete them. After doing so you should go to Add/REMOVE Programs and delete the associated uninstall entries.


Edited to clarify.
@Allan, is it OK deleting Windows updates, what if some of them are security updates?They are not the updates themselves....rather the un-installer files for the updates.
Quote from: patio on December 13, 2010, 05:42:36 AM

They are not the updates themselves....rather the un-installer files for the updates.

OK, so if i go into Add/Remove programs and remove all the Windows update starting with KB, then i'm not actually uninstalling the updates just the un-installer files.

I dont quite get it?Once the update uninstall files are deleted the entries in Add/Remove are superfluous. When you click on them you'll see a message that the uninstall file could not be found and the entry will be removed.Quote from: reddevilggg on December 13, 2010, 05:50:22 AM

No, when you uninstall windows updates from Add/Remove you run the very same uninstallers being discussed.


Also: I should point out that deleting them will not increase performance anyway. (which was their original goal)Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 13, 2010, 06:00:41 AM

yeah, I missed mentioning that, I sorta figured it was common sense, in a way.

After all, if there are separate uninstallers, and you delete one, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to think that the add/remove utility will get the magical ability to do everything the deleted uninstaller did (that is, uninstall the updates). That would sort of mean that the uninstaller was unnecessary to begin with.

Solve : Outlook Web Access - Signature Problem?

Answer»

We have some users who use Outlook Web Access.

When trying to save a signature in OWA, a couple of users find that OWA acts as though the signature has been saved but doesn't actually save it. This ojnly affects a couple out of dozens of users. So, I assume it is PC specific.

Can anyone throw any light on this one please?How big is the signature as compared to the OTHERS? What version exchange are you using and what version IE are your users using?

are they remembering to add the signature to the emails?

Within Options, in the Messaging Options section, select the Automatically include my signature on outgoing messages check box.

Click Save and Close


Hi,

We use exchange server 2003.

The user was doing all the right stuff but it wasn't working. I bumped her up to administrator status and tried again. This TIME one of those messsages appeared at the top of the signatures window saying that an ACTIVEX control wanted to be installed. I allowed this and hey presto! the signature saved.... Interesting.

The problem has now moved on to the LENGTH of signature. The user gets a message telling her that the signature is too long when she saves it. The maximum number of characters it will allow before the signature triggers this error APPEARS to be around 100 characters.

Solve : EXCEL G&SC spreadsheet development?

Answer»

I have produced an EXCEL spreadsheet for examining what is happening in the material development of our civilization and so expected future trends. I have done examinations for the global, US, Chinese and Australian economies. Based on my experience, I believe it will be a powerful, TRANSPARENT tool to aid sound decision making.

I want to make the G&SC spreadsheet available globally so a range of experts can contribute to estimating the values in appropriate cells while using the associated charts as feedback. These estimates need to be backed by explanatory comments and appropriate REFERENCES. This wide-ranging input will help to improve its credibility as well as providing better understanding of the complex issues.

I know that I can forward the spreadsheet using the Routing procedure. However, there may be means that I am unaware of that will be a more efficient way of having a central version of the spreadsheet which is being continually refined while participants can also have their versions so the can carry out trials.I'm wondering what G&SC means.
Quote

I know that I can forward the spreadsheet using the Routing procedure.
What is "the Routing procedure"?

Some options you might consider:
http://mashable.com/2008/02/06/forget-excel-14-online-spreadsheet-applications/
http://www.expressocorp.com/

And, a lot more stuff to peruse here:
http://www.google.com/search?aq=1&oq=online+excel&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=online+excel+spreadsheet
G&SC stands Growth and Senescence of Civilization. The spreadsheet takes into account factors affecting what is happening to our civilization. With development, it should PROVE to be a powerful, transparent tool to aid sound decisions about what measures should be used to ease the powering down of our civilization.

On the File list for Excel there is a Send to. One of these is Routing Recipient. This is a means of sending the spreadsheet as an attachment to a prepared list of recipients.

Thank you for the links. I will look at them and report backI have looked at the links and am bewildered by the array of what is available. It APPEARS there are a number of sites that would enable my G&SC to be online for perusal and modification in a systematic manner by, eventually, a large number of contributors. eXpresso is one example although it would involve a cost. It CERTAINLY provides the type of facilities that seem to be required. I would welcome more advice.

Solve : Spell Check Does not work?

Answer»

Hello all,
I have windows vista premium and windows office 7 professional plus. When in word and I try and run spell checker/grammar, the grammar part works fine but the spell checker comes back clean when I know there are misspelled words, I put them in. It did work at on time but now it doesn't. I looked at the options and they are all like the 2 other computers, which are running well. I uninstalled and reinstalled but no joy. Not sure what else to do. I don't want to do a complete reinstall since all else is working correctly. Any ideas?

Thanks!
AlanBy Office 7, I assume you mean Office 95 (which was version 7) and not Office 2007?

ALSO, are you editing in more than one language? Doing so can sometimes confused Office, especially older versions, and it will only spell check one language and not the other, although it will still check the grammar of the other, much like you're describing.

A reply from this website explains the solution like this:
Quote

If you're working in more than one language within a document, Microsoft Word can automatically detect each language as you TYPE it.

To use this feature, you must first set up your computer to support multilingual editing, and then enable the languages you want to use for editing.

On the Tools menu, POINT to Language, and then click Set Language.

Select the Detect language automatically check box.

To turn off automatic language detection in your document, clear the Detect language automatically check box.

To turn off the automatic detection of a particular language, remove it from the list of enabled languages in the Microsoft Office Language Settings tool. Remove the language only if you don't want to use features particular to that language (for example, date formats) in Word and other Microsoft Office programs.

Try that and see if it FIXES your problem.Quote from: quaxo on May 06, 2010, 09:37:56 PM

Quote from: BC_Programmer on May 06, 2010, 10:03:09 PM
Well, Since Office 95 won't install at all on windows Vista...

From what I've read, there are ways to make it work, although I've never tried it personally. That's why I asked for clarification.

Anyway, if he is using 2007, and not version 7, then the link's explanation is useless. Instead:

1. Click on the "Review" tab.
2. Click "Set Language".
3. Click "English (United States)", or your preferred English.
4. Make sure "Do not check spelling or grammar" is unchecked.
5. Check or uncheck "Detect language automatically", WHATEVER your preference.
6. Click "Default..." to set these settings as the default for all new documents.

See if that fixes the problem for new documents. Keep in mind that for any existing documents, these settings will probably have to be changed individually in each document.

No, It's certainly a UAC dialog. I cannot think of any reason for the OK button to be disabled. It's a rather curious problem.BC, Apparently there are constraints within Vista and win 7 that will disallow levels of users below administrator to access (install/change) certain things within the O/S (within the UAC ). It appears there are quite a few. It seems that an icon (such as a 4 coloured shield should be present to warn that such an event is occurring. Could this be what is at work here? truenorthYes. it's called UAC.

However, as you described, I don't think that's the case.

for a Limited User Account, the UAC dialog ALLOWS them to enter/get somebody to enter the administrator password- then the process will be run as administrator.

For many people (my case, for example) their own accounts are set up as the administrator, but due to new security settings the "administrator" roles are stripped out of their access tokens- so they no longer really have administrator access. In this case the UAC dialog still appears (if UAC is disabled, then there is no additional security, since this part is skipped) but is asking the user (who is an administrator) to continue. the idea here is to prevent programs from performing tasks at the administrator level without the user knowing- this was a common TACTIC of malware (they didn't have to ask for administrator access, since they were already running as the administrator).

I've never seen the OK button disabled before though.

What is the translation of what is in the upper portion of the window with the "shield" with the question mark in it?truenorth"Do you want to allow the FOLLOWING program to make changes to your computer?"

it's pretty clear it's the UAC dialog for installing Catalyst Control Center.BC, Thanks for the translation.Sure does appear to be a case where the user ought to be able to answer that question and proceed.

Solve : How can I print a selected text exactly as it is aligned on the document??

Answer»

Each time that I select a text and attempt to print only that text exactly where it is aligned on the page, Microsoft software always moves the selected text to the top of the page to print. I know how to select > copy > paste to another page and move the text to where I want it, but that is time-consuming compared to simply select > print as Corel WordPerfect ALLOWS ONE to do.
I have USED both Corel WordPerfect and Microsoft Word for fifteen years. Corel WP is ABLE to do as I am describing---Select a portion of a document > Print > Selected text > Print---and it prints the selected text exactly where it is located on the document rather than moving it to the top of a page to print .
Is that possible with Microsoft software? Welcome!

Solve : Can't use Unlocker - Windows 7 x64 bit... Help!?

Answer»

Hi, I am currently using Windows 7 x64 bit, and I have a really bad problem with the 'latest' version of Unlocker on my system... can anyone help me please???

I remember on Windows Xp you COULD just right-click a file, click Unlocker, it'll bring up a menu-thingy.... Delete, Move, Unlock All processes, ETC...

But no, I don't get any of that when I do this on Windows 7... I don't even know how the heck I would use the x64 bit version... Dumbest part of all is, it's in the /program files (x86)/ folder!?

I was thinking this is a virus... am I INFECTED??

I've ran MalwareBytes anti-malware, found 2 trojans, deleted, ran Avast *highly updated*, and found only a few HTML viruses/cookies...
ran Hijack Hunter, found nothing of suspicion...

So I am still wondering why I cannot use Unlocker on my system to delete locked files... I need to use this really bad but it seems it just won't run.
Any help? Ideas?

I also tried Running Unlocker in Windows Xp Sp3 Compatibility (administrator), and Windows Vista (no SP's, administrator).
And AMAZINGLY to my luck, Unlocker didn't work still, though I managed to catch this quick Unknown Application with No Name running on my task bar...
Sorry, my prntscrn button is acting stupid, the pic is kind of late...

Here:




[recovering disk space - OLD attachment deleted by admin]there is no x64 version of unlocker. That's why it's in x86. It's a 32-bit program.

Because of this Explorer can't load it. Try "LockHunter" instead. That's worked alright for me.http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/#download

for x64

Sorry,

tried that, does nothing.

EDIT: Ok, I've tried Unlocker. Unlocker x64 bit, FILE ASSASSIN Bundled with Malware Bytes' AntiMalware, and still no help...

Maybe this is some kind of new 'safety restriction' thing in Windows 7?? That Microsoft locked out??? I really don't know..

I haven't tried Locktool yet, as I don't know how I should test it.... I want a file deleter tool that can remove Locked files WITHOUT Reboot... As I'm more of a convenient person and I don't like having to reboot my PC so oftenly... \ Actually, I really don't mind if I need to reboot it's just that sometimes I'm in a hurry to get rid of something, it's almost like my PC takes forever to boot...

This is what I'm saying...

@Patio: It's just that if I'm in the middle of something I wouldn't really want to reboot...

but actually I wouldn't mind a reboot... Just if I'm not frustrated with a virus or otherwise... Quote
As I'm more of a convenient person and I don't like having to reboot my PC so oftenly...

This makes no sense...if a re-boot is required then what's the hassle ? ?

Also there's no change in Win7 that would prevent Unlocker from working...Lockhunter works.

In either case this is probably related to your messing around in the registry and registry cleaners and other crap you've probably run that also happened to destroy your "Open With" menu.

Solve : Uninstalling QuickTime?

Answer»

I have Windows XP 2002. I'm trying to free up space on my computer. I don't USE QuickTime to play any files (movies, etc.) on my hard drive. I was going to install it, but I read a few PLACES that QuickTime is needed to play some videos online. My question is, if I uninstall QuickTime (using the Control Panel-->Ad/Remove Progams tool), am I going to have any problem viewing YOUTUBE (and similar sites) videos, viewing videos on news sites (i.e. CNN), etc?

Thank you for your time.Yeah best to leave it be.. it's not a resource HOG, so I would not worry about it.If you need to free space, uninstalling quicktime isn't the answer.

Although it's not a resource hog and is probably insignificant in terms of drive space, I do not have QuickTime installed on my Windows 7 system, which has been my primary computer for Internet use for about 6 months now, and I have yet to encounter any streaming media content on the web (YouTube, news sites, etc.) where QuickTime was needed. Quicktime is so 1995.

I second the recommendation to use treesize to find out what is really eating up drive space; uninstalling programs like quicktime is almost always inconsequential as far as space usage.Quote from: Allan on December 04, 2010, 05:11:11 AM

Solve : Windows Live Email 2011?

Answer»

For the past few days I have been getting emails from various people that have .eml attachments instead of the graphics in the body of the email as has been the case in the past. On Nov. 18th, I downloaded a large Window's update file from Microsoft that included Windows Live Essentials. It really is a pain to have to download these files instead of just opening the email and seeing the graphics displayed. I've gone into my Uninstall or Change Program File and found that Windows Live Essentials 2011 and Windows Live Mesh ActiveX Control for Remote CONNECTIONS were among the files downloaded on the 18th. My question is: Would it be advisable to uninstall Windows Live Email 2011 to stop getting emails with these .eml attachments? A Bing toolbar was also downloaded at the same time. Can I uninstall that without causing any problems. I use Firefox as my browser if that makes a difference. Thank You,Some points in your post do not make sense. How were you doing email before installing Windows Live Essentials? After installing Windows Live Essentials, did you then start using the mail component of Windows Live Essentials, Windows Live Mail. for email? If so, why did you switch to it from your previous method of doing email?

When you say the Bing toolbar was installed, do you mean a toolbar or do you simply mean that Bing was set as the default search engine? To change the default search engine, just CLICK on the drop-down arrow next to the Bing icon and select a different default search engine. Soybean, I guess my problem with clarity in my prior question is that I don't have any idea how email programs work. The extent of my knowledge is that I use Firefox as my browser and Yahoo for email. Where Windows Live Essentials comes into the equation is a mystery to me. I was just assuming that the new .eml attachments in some of the emails I receive are related to the Windows Live Essentials 2011 file that I downloaded on Nov. 18th, as I had never seen these attachments previously. This is what the attachment looked like:
Fwd: Hummingbird Birth.eml (7KB)

Instead of having the message or graphic in the body of the email, the message/graphic is replaced by this:

I hope this makes it a LITTLE easier to understand as I am totally at sea on this problem. Usually with time, persistence and research I can come up with a fix or atleast understand what the problem is, but this one is perplexing. Thank you for your time.Quote
The extent of my knowledge is that I use Firefox as my browser and Yahoo for email.
OK, so you access your Yahoo email via your web browser. In that case, Windows Live Essentials has nothing to do with your email; it has nothing to do with attachments to your email.

Quote
For the past few days I have been getting emails from various people that have .eml attachments instead of the graphics in the body of the email as has been the case in the past.
Most likely, this is merely a REFLECTION of how the senders composed their message. I am dredging this post up again because I have found a fix for it. A bit round-about, but it works. When I receive one of these emails with
"gobbly-gook" in the body of the email that requires downloading an .eml file, I have found that if I forward it to my old AOL email address and
then resend it to my Yahoo address the message or picture(s) will come out just fine. (I knew I'd hung on to that MailBox for some reason.)
I'm still trying to figure out why this all of a sudden happened when no one else on my email list is having the same problem. But, for the other
person out there who may be looking for a way around it, I figured I would share what I'd found to work. Thanks again.

Solve : RAM allocation?

Answer»

Is there a program anyone is familiar with to allocate RAM to specific areas? I recently went from 512 RAM to 1 GB using Windows XP so I wouldn't get stops/starts when watching video clips. (1GB was the max supported with my motherboard) 1GB RAM should be plenty to WATCH clips, as in YouTube, without having to pause every minute or less.

Any ideas?

Thanks.None. Not even relating to what you want to do ACTUALLY, I'm just trying to get my video to stop freezing. It'll play for several seconds, then freeze, as if it's loading up more info to play. With 1GB RAM I would think that'd be plenty to play a video clip without jerking/freezing. I tried lowering the video accelerator in Windows Media Player, and it helps, but still get the freezing.

The only memory allocation features you will find are for here --> http://www.ehow.com/how_5211859_change-memory-allocated-graphics-card.html
Usually for onboard graphics features on newer machines such as a Laptop.

Freeze or Pause? Try pausing the video after buffer run and complete the video loading before playing. It depends mainly on Internet speed/connection.

512 RAM would be enough for watching video clips on Youtube.

Are you watching video clips on WMP(downloaded,converted) or having some multimedia conflict?

Perhaps this one --> http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#videoThe picture will freeze for a few seconds even though the audio continues. This happens with YouTube frequently.
I believe there is a multimedia conflict, as I had problems when I tried to download and then open a DVD copy program. Downloaded fine, but would not open. There's a conflict somewhere, but I'd be happy if I could just eliminate the video freeze.

I'll try the suggested sites. Thanks.Have you tried downloading a new copy of flash player?

What is your internet connection speed?

What is the brand and model of your computer?What BROWSER are you using? Have you tried a different browser?

Since your motherboard only supports 1 GB I suspect that your processor is older and slow.

What speeds are you actually getting from your ISP? Not advertised speed, but measured speeds?

as I had problems when I tried to download and then open a DVD copy program. Downloaded fine, but would not open

Are you getting confused between downloading and streaming?Browser is Google Chrome. Processor is a Gateway 1.8mhz, so it's about 8 years old. Streaming is where the video freezes for a few seconds. Upload speed is 1.05 Mbps; download speed is 6.26 Mbps.

The reason I thought there may be a software conflict is that I was able to record DVDs as well as watch streaming video without a freeze. I started having problems with the DVD copier, so I deleted the program and hunted for a replacement. I found I could download copiers, but none would open. Click the icon, and nothing!

I must have downloaded something that is confusing the video somehow, but I've deleted the DVD copier programs. Still have freezes now. I can load up a video, say in YouTube, wait until it's loaded completely, and still get freezes.

Flash Player is automatically updated through Google Chrome browser. What's next?
Try another browser.

Solve : Sysax multi Server will not start?

Answer»

Hi,

OS is WINDOWS XP SP3.

When the Server is started, the message 'The Sysax multi Server will not start'. In the control panel I had selected all the default ports and had selected the FTP server.

On some occasions the message 'Server is Running' appears, but when I go to the HTTPS interface the server is not running.

I thought this might be a port issue, and uninstalled some servers using other ports from my computer in case and restarted.

Norton Smart Firewall was turned off Windows Firewall disabled.

The problem did not occur during the TRIAL version, and as my license is a few weeks new I am searching for free or fee-based support, Sysax customer support appears non-available.

Any advise or support on getting this server to start, or finding what other program might be using the port would be appreciated.

The faq and support links provided were the very first places I read through to TRY to fix the problem. I have also gone through all the software documentation, and any related problem in the sysax forum.

Sysax support is apparently not available. My request for support from both the ticket based system and the forum has gone unanswered, even though the message in my Licensed software Pro version appears 'to contact support', and from a message on the forum it appears support has ceased.

Solve : need to convert video file to either .avi or ,wmv for DVD players?

Answer»

I need to convert video file to EITHER .avi or .wmv to play on DVD players for others to see. Which extension WOULD work on most DVD players .avi or .wmv? Does anyone know. Not all dvd players will play anything other than normal DVDs but of the ONES that play other formats, avi (DivX, Xvid) is probably the most likely. Avoid qpel and VBR video for widest compatibility.


Just use this: http://www.dvdflick.net/DVD uses MPEG2 which can't be put in avi or wmv containers. If your DVD player is Divx compatible, you can use a video converter like Any Video Converter or FFMPEG to convert it to avi with MPEG4.I want to download YouTube videos and convert them from .flv to whatever is compatible with most DVD players so other people can view them on their DVD players also. Does most DVD players handle .MPEG2 extensions or .avi or .wmv?Quote from: Linux711 on December 08, 2010, 12:53:46 PM

Just use this: http://www.dvdflick.net/
If you want to burn .flv to DVD using DVDFlick, make sure to install 1.3.0.6 VERSION.
The latest version seems to have issues with converting .flv files.

Solve : Toshiba HDD recovery lost!!!?

Answer»

Hi. I have now lost the Toshiba HDD recovery program for the F8 options and i now cant restore my entire COMPUTER.

I went onto http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ and i burned the files onto one of my dvd-rw disks. when i used it i couldnt find the toshiba HDD recovery option. this was all i got after i used the downloaded recovery disk off of neosmart:




This is what it was before i downloaded the vista recovery disk from neosmart:



I want everything to return to its origional factory state but i now cant do that !!!

Any help given will be very much appreciated. Did Toshiba include their own recovery software to use?
Check and see if the recovery partition is still there, perhaps the volume letter or name got changed.Before i downloaded, burned and used the recovery disk i made, there was an option to recover my toshiba pc to its origional factory state. but now there is no option to do that anymore. i also forgot to mention, i have to keep using the recovery disk i made to get to the first screen on the previous post i made.

Here is the first screen that comes up when i press f8 now after i have used the downloaded recovery disk:



no 'repair your computer' option.

It never used to come up with that screen strainght after pressing f8. it just went straight to this screen which it is MEANT TO DO!!! :



to



Toshiba HDD Recovery is not there now!!

Matt.

Your F8 option does not have a "Repair my computer" on boot option. Just like this
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htmFirst and foremost you need to verify that the partition which the backup WOULD be stored on, is indeed still there. The partition might be hidden by default?

You could then try this: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/pma500208010_web.pdf Page 4

Another option, if you KNOW someone with the same version of Vista as you, you can use their retail or oem disk(not a recovery disk) to reinstall, making sure you use your OWN product key to register. This of course if you don't mind losing any Toshiba crapware that came preinstalled on your system.

Or, you could call Toshiba and have them mail you the recovery disks, they'll almost certainly charge you for them.http://www.fileguru.com/apps/toshiba_hdd_recovery_utility

Hi Jason, thanks for the website. I have just now looked in it and i am now searching for the program i need.

And yes, there is no rapir your computer option. i think this is ALL due to me downloading and using that recovery thingymabober that i got off of neosmart.

But thanks again for the website......and thank you all for your help. It is all very much appreciated and i hope i can get that option back.

Matt

p.s do any of you guys have a toshiba laptop with windows vista?

Also, i have checked the file called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc creator and the applications and all the files needed to run it are ALL still there. So i dont know why it isn't working.

But thanks again for all your help. Hi again guys. My laptop has now MISTERIOUSLY come up with the option 'repair your computer' and it is coming up with the screen for selecting the user and entering the password and so forth.... AND the hdd recovery option has also
MISTERIOUSLY appeared on the f8 options after the password screen...

BUT its still saying that the recovery disc medium is impossible.

this is the other part of the message its coming up with:

" Could not find HDD recovery folder on second drive of the first hard disk. there is no VALID HDD recovery environment on this computer."

I really think i just need a new laptop. Because after all, the laptop im using now only has 2GB memory with the intel 4 series express chipset graphics card and the intel celeron processor.

When i was looking to buy a laptop for the 1st time, i was wanting it so that i could play simulators and stuff. i thought the laptop i am using now would be useful for simulators and gaming but i found out not.

Anyway, i am now getting closer to refinding my hdd recovery thing to restore my computer to its origional factory state.

Any more help will be apreciated.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi again guys.

Click on Add to firefox.

DownThemAll pertains to downloading of web pages, to speeding up of web page viewing. It is not going to help with just downloading files to be saved, such as software.

I doubt the issue here has anything to do with Firefox. It has to do with his Internet connection speed with his ISP (Internet SERVICE Provider). What type (DSL or cable) of Internet service are you using? What is it's speed, as claimed by your ISP? Have you run any speed TESTS to see what your actual speed is? Here's one speed testing site you can try: http://www.speedtest.net/If you are an advanced user, you can change the firefox settings by typing "about:config" in the address bar.

You're still assuming the issue is the speed of Firefox rendering web pages, not just downloading files. We don't know for sure what the OP is asking and we won't know until he/she OP responds and clarifies what he/she meant. But, when someone says "download files", that, to me, means, for example, downloading Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or some other software download. Even trying those things increased downloading speed for me.....so i provided that link....I think it will helpful atleast 1%.Quote from: Vikram Varaprasad on May 12, 2010, 08:58:51 AM

Solve : How to remove remnants of old programs??

Answer»

This is driving me NUTS! Several years ago, I got Nero OEM Suite 6. Only used it for music CDs. At the time, I also had a program called Snappy by Play Inc., for capturing video frame snapshots with a battery DRIVEN capture device. I got tired of it a few years ago.and un-installed it...or so I thought.
Recently. I've been toying with the idea of putting some old VCR tapes on DVD. Nero was going to be the burner. I got a capture device called Video Grabber USB 2.0. I tried capturing some video using Nero's Vision Express 2, but I keep getting the following error:
"Snapvid : Problem with Snappy SOFTWARE installation". When I click OK, Nero shuts down.

Why is Nero associated itself with Snappy? Yes, they were on the computer at the same time, but I uninstalled Snappy and removed the hardware. I un-installed Nero and re-installed it, but to no avail. I tried the same with Snappy, but it won't install for some reason. I don't know how to get into Nero's insides to find any references to Snappy. I did a search for any Snappy references anywhere on my machine but could not find any. I used a registry cleaner several times. I used "regedit" to look, but found nothing. I still get the same error message. Nero support is useless. Can anyone help with this? Any ideas how to rid my computer of Snappy?

I tried the search function in Revo, but I couldn't come up with any wording that showed results.
I realize now that there must be other programs with pieces of Snappy as well as Nero. I reinstalled Nero from DISC and it still references Snappy. I wonder if the Snappy people are still doing business. I wonder if they will help me after I tell them I'm trying to get rid of their software!I would concentrate on Nero rather than Snappy. Nero does have a Cleanup Tool.
http://www.nero.com/enu/tools-utilities.htmlUnfortunately, Nero says that tool won't work for version 6. As I said before, I'm sure the problem is not just with Nero. The "Snappy" thing pops up elsewhere. For example...I tried to capture some video for the first time using VirtualDub. When I went to choose the capture device, look what showed up on the list!

Solve : Printshop 23 Deluxe vs Windows 7?

Answer»

I had Printshop 22 Deluxe on my XP computer and it worked just fine. I now have Windows 7, 64 bit and would like to UPDATE to a newer Printshop as Version 22 will not work with Windows 7. However, before jumping right in and buying a newer version, I checked out various reviews of Printshop Pro 2.0 and Printshop 23 Deluxe. It seems that NO one had a positive review of the newest version, PS Pro 2.0, and there were mixed reviews on how well PS 23 Deluxe worked with Windows 7. It worked just great for some for and not too well for others. Is there another program on the market, short of hocking the farm to buy COREL's Paintshop, that will do what Printshop does for around the same price? ThanksI don't know what all is available on the retail market for such software. But, many freeware photo editors are available. I don't know whether any of them would suit your needs. Can you describe the main features you're looking for?Thank you for your reply, Soybean. I am looking more for a program that will produce posters, flyers, ads, brochures and greeting cards. It doesn't matter whether it has photo editing capabilities, although I think that the newer versions of Photoshop has those features. Something with lots of choices for fonts and one that will let me imbed my own PICTURES into and that will save a file in the .pdf format.Do you have a version of Microsoft Office? If so, is it a version that includes Publisher?I have Office Home and Student 2007 and unfortunately, it does not INCLUDE MS Publisher. I got it on sale for $49.00 so I wasn't too concerned at the time about the fact that it didn't have publishing capabilities as I rarely used MS Publisher that came with Office 97 that I'd used for 13 years until I upgraded.Quote from: 02bin3 on May 14, 2010, 11:30:22 AM

Is there another program on the market, short of hocking the farm to buy Corel's Paintshop, that will do what Printshop does for around the same price?
What price level are we talking here? I'm really not familiar with any particular software of this type other than Publisher. I believe you may be able to find freeware to do most, if not all, of what you want but you may have to get several programs since I suspect you will not find freeware that does all those things in one package.

If you do a Google search on business card freeware, for example, you might find something like http://www.brothersoft.com/businesscardmonster-designer-pro-156421.html a viable solution. And then, you would need to do separate searches for greeting cards, etc.

And, stay tuned here. Some other members may have better SUGGESTIONS. Most of the Printshop programs over the years have been around $40. The latest and the greatest version, Printshop 2.0, is around $90 and from what I have read about it, it doesn't have a lot of the features that the older versions have. Most people recommended sticking with Printshop 23 Deluxe. I don't doubt the reviews because I've noticed over the past 15 years that I have used various versions of Printshop, the earlier ones were the most user-friendly and had everything I required and this was a point brought out by some of the folks who have had to upgrade over the years because of their operating systems incompatibility with older versions. Thank you

Solve : Microsoft Word Date?

Answer»

I have MS WORD 2007. The date on documents that I have stored changes to the current date when I open them and will not allow me to save it with the created date. Is this an autoformatting issue? How do I disable it?Do you MEAN the date of the file or dates within the document itself?if you have that autoupdating header that always KEEPS your dates up to date....The date within the documentWhere is it stored? The document? I a sub-folder in My Documents.No, I meant the date. Where do you GO in Word to see it? I have Word 2007 but I'm not sure what you're talking about.Oh, it is a letter and the date is the first line of the document below the header.I THINK this reference from Indiana University might help: In Microsoft Word, how do I put a date on my document?Thanks Soybean,
The documents that I use need to have the original dates and using the static method on the UI site allows me to make the change once and it will remain that way.

Solve : Video Processing?

Answer»

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can offer a SUGGESTION about what I can do about my video processing software.

Under XP and Vista I was using the software from my CAPTURE card (Neo DVD) to convert VHS tapes to MPEG-2, and then using Video Edit Master to trim the resulting file, and then using Handbrake to convert the MPEG-2 file to H.264.

When I upgraded to Windows 7, Video Edit Master did not work anymore. Looking for other free alternatives, I downloaded AVI Demux, but the files it PRODUCES cannot be read by Handbrake.

Is there SOMETHING I am doing wrong? Is there another video file trimmer that is more widely accepted that I should be using?

Thanks.

Solve : Batch File that Creates Files?

Answer»

Hello everyone! I was on this website looking up a COUPLE things and I decided I could use some help real quick. My mom asked me if she would MAKE me a program to keep records of hours and stuff. But, I am making it in a batch file. I have the coding and everything like cd and md, but I don't know how to make a batch file create a text document. Anyone help?

Or, if there is another programming language that will create text DOCUMENTS please SPECIFY it in your comment.Echo First line > textfile.txt
echo second line >> textfile.txt
echo third line >> textfile.txt

Please note the extra > in the second and third lines. If there was only one, it would replace the CONTENTS of the file with whatever is being echoed.

Solve : Unable to save a Paint Image?

Answer»

I cannot save any image CREATED with Paint. I have tried re-loading the Accessories from my XP HOME Edition DISK. No improvement - either "Saving" or "Save As" causes the screen to disappear and the image to be lost. Until this happened I could save the image to a chosen folder (usually My Pictures).
Anyone any SUGGESTIONS? Click File, and then you can select the options in the menu. If you can't find the Save or Save As, try to USE" Ctrl+S" and see, whether there is a window pop up for you to choose the location to save your Paint Image.

well you should as you class yourself as a guru

download , as in download files etc from the web is working

download photos from the camera and phone are not working anymoreDownload is only when you copy a file from a remote source to your PC. you don't "download" files from disks, or "download" installers from them- that's simply a copy operation; a disc in your CD drive can hardly be called a "remote" source.

From the sounds of things you either have malware infecting the Drives upper/lower filters, or the drive is shot.

FIRST try the Missing CD patch.

Go to Device Manager(Start->Run, "Devmgmt.msc"), click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.

IF that doesn't fix it, try running "sfc /scannow".

thank you bcp ,

i said the wrong thing in d/load copy or install

i did not do the first thing as i did not understand it , 2nd one done and on restart there was a lot of new found hardware coming up on screen , also ran sfc /scannow and everything was ok

so i will try camera and phone to-morrow night and let you know , unless you want to say something more to-night before i try

Solve : Outlook .pst file?

Answer»

My wife used outlook 2007 on my desktop PC (I prefer a web based mail server myself) and I have a saved copy of an Outlook 2007 pst file, then my computer CRASHED. After reinstalling all my programs and data my wife started using Outlook again and so we now have a second pst file. My wife has now bought herself a new LAPTOP and wants to merge the two pst files on her new computer.

I have looked on the web and found two sites, 1 states to go to TOOLS - services, but I cannot FIND a services tab, and the second states to go to file - open - Outlook data file and then drag in the files, but when I try to drag the file over I get an error message "The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file".

Any ideas on how to copy the first file over and then merge the second?

Many thanksQuote

I have looked on the web and found two sites, 1 states to go to tools - services, but I cannot find a services tab, and the second states to go to file - open - Outlook data file and then drag in the files ...
I don't know where you found those sites but neither of them are steering you in the right direction. You need to import the .pst file. Here's a good reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/196492. As far as importing two .pst files, I get the impression from the reference that it can be done. I've never tried that but, in your situation, I think I'd try it. Be sure to retain the .pst files until you know this has worked. Then, I would make a new backup, via the export procedure, of the combined data on Outlook. Thanks soybean,

I have imported the files as per your link and it worked fine. My wife is very HAPPY again.

Sorry for not replying sooner, but I have been out of town.That's good news. Thanks for the feedback.

Solve : LABELER.EXE?

Answer»

For the past two days I have been getting "hits" by my FIREWALL stating that LABELER.EXE or its parent is attempting communication in or out (I'm not sure) of my computer, and asking me ALLOW or BLOCK. Since I didn't know what LABELER.EXE was I've been HITTING BLOCK.

Is this something I should allow, or is it something SNEAKY which should not be allowed?Some info:

http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/labeler/
http://www.whatexe.com/labeler.exe.html
http://wakoopa.com/executables/labeler-exeThanks for those links. I do a lot of labels and use the Avery (FREE) SOFTWARE which they provide. Its actually quite useful in creating non-Avery things such as posters and brochures, since I don't want to pay for Adobe.
