Solve : Foreign Language in downloads only? |
|
Answer» A very strange thing.....My computer works good with XP (32bit) , but.....If I DOWNLOAD anything....The box that tells me to "run or save" what I have downloaded is in a foreign language....Everything else is in English...Not even sure of the language....Its Russian I think. Any suggestions ? ThanksWhat is the history of this computer? Have you always been the owner?Any other users?truenorthIt's most LIKELY within the site you are only trying to download from. Does it happen only on this particular website?Warez ? ?Yes, The computer was owned by another (I don't know who) , but It happens with the foreign language only in the download "run or save" box. It is a dell 2400 & I re-installed xp with the reg numbers on the case from the hard drive. It RUNS everything else just fine....ThanksThe re-install should have gotten rid of the language pack so that's not it... |

Solve : I can't uninstall Vidalia? |
|
Answer» So I was trying to uninstall Vidalia today and now I'll probably never be able to uninstall it. http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html Do I REALLY have to install ANOTHER program JUST to uninstall a program I don't want? That seems a little ridiculous IMO. Is there another way to uninstall it?Sounds like all that firewalling broke the uninstaller or a dependency in some way. Remove all entries in comodo's firewall that block vidalia, and try it again. If it still FAILS you can try re-installing vidalia to fix the uninstaller. Revo does a good job of cleaning up leftovers from uninstalls, but the free version won't fix a broken uninstaller (if that's even possible).It seems that Vidalia is associated with Tor Project : https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en Quote How do I uninstall Tor?The FAQ also states that it is detected by certain protection softwares as a virus or false positive. Quote from: AlwaysScrewed on September 17, 2012, 09:52:57 PM Do I REALLY have to install ANOTHER program JUST to uninstall a program I don't want?Nope. It's your system and you can do whatever you want to do. If it were mine, I'd do exactly as I suggested. Quote from: TechnoGeek on September 17, 2012, 10:14:42 PM Sounds like all that firewalling broke the uninstaller or a dependency in some way. Remove all entries in comodo's firewall that block vidalia, and try it again. If it still fails you can try re-installing vidalia to fix the uninstaller. Revo does a good job of cleaning up leftovers from uninstalls, but the free version won't fix a broken uninstaller (if that's even possible). I'm not really entirely sure how to do that either though. I suppose if I don't have any other choice, I'll install that program and uninstall it that way.You could also try booting to safemode...turn off Comodo...re-boot and try and uninstall it from safemode.Alright. I guess I don't have a choice. Obviously. I'll install that program and uninstall Vidalia that way. Doing it this way is a pain in the you-know-what, but, like I said, I obviously don't have a choice. I'll do it when I can find the time to do it. I'll update this thread when I do it and say if it worked or not. Once again, thank you for giving me all of this help.I have no choice but to double post. I installed Revo Uninstaller. However, Vidalia isn't showing up in Revo Uninstaller. Now what? Re0install Vidalia as some components are sandbox hidden from the protection app... Then run Revo. Quote from: patio on September 20, 2012, 12:59:17 AM Re0install Vidalia as some components are sandbox hidden from the protection app... Why? Installing it once already MADE me worried that it would screw up my computer. Should it just show up in revo uninstaller? This... doesn't make any sense... It's explained above why Revo doesn't list it... Did you try my method in Post #7 ? ?Alternatively, you can try Revo's "Hunter Mode"If it doesn't show in revo, then it's not stuck in the add/remove programs list. I'd just go to msconfig if it is an autostarting app and disable it, then delete the files in program files. If you want it 'nice' you can then go in regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, software and look for Vidalia (or company name) and delete it. If it's not there, then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead, then do the same as above. After all this, you can also run a reg cleaner, although many people will advise against it. It really isn't necessary. |

Solve : selected 1 folder to delete, and they all vanished; where are they?? |
|
Answer» I am running Win 7 Enterprise on a network with a local file server that runs Win Serv 03. I have REPORTED this to the local helpdesk, but unfortunately I am on a military installation, and they are clueless. Rstrui.exe is not what Patio meant ... http://www.piriform.com/recuvaHave you tried the program Patio mentioned? just tried it...the site is blocked on this military base. Can't access it. Any other ideas?The site as in the room where the server is? What about this? http://www.diskeeper.com/business/undelete/ Seems to be one of the few programs that offer recovering files deleted on shares.I can get to the server, log on as administrator. I can search on google, look at the weather channels, etc, but certain sites (websites) are blocked by the Army, including that recuva. This diskeeper site requires money...hahaha, not a chance....the data isn't worth that. Its a different situation working IT on a military base Thank you for you help. If you have any other thoughts, I'd love to hear themHave someone email the Recuva installer as an attachment...wish your folder have been RECOVERED, if not, you can try another data recovery SOFTWARE. it seams called minitool data recovery software, you can have a try. Before you find out the problem with your computer, you need to backup your data so that the deleted files won't vanish thoroughly again...Try AthTek data recovery, it will help you with that. |

Solve : "The RPC Server is unavailable"? |
|
Answer» Alright, so my Mom has a COMPAQ laptop that she uses for her normal stuff, checking email, weather, solitaire, the little things. But my nephew and nieces often come over and use it. Step 1: To start the RPC service, try these steps. I appreciate this type of thing may not be something that a non-techie type of person would feel like trying, and I would think that a visit to a computer repair place could be the safest solution. if your mother has files she wants to keep, make sure they try the above first and don't just reinstall Windows. We might have to, because I dont think we even have the Windows disc anymore. And we dont. |

This may be part of your problem. Also, I've never heard of ~ being an escape character before, so I searched and found this article. The way I understand it, the ~ escapes those characters only in excel's filters and searches, but not, say, the LOOKUP function (which uses regular expressions). |

Solve : Java is bugging me!? |
|
Answer» I am having a big problem with Java. Each time I try to open a Java applet, the applet goes grey and I cant even open it. Java Plug-in 10.6.2.24 So does someone get any ideas as to how to solve this? As for browsers, I have tried Chrome, MOZILLA, IE, Rocketmail, Safari, Opera just to get the same resukts. I have also tried both the online and OFFLINE download version, and the same thing happens. Just a heads up: I use Windows 7 - and also, I am kinda noob at these Also, I did try the Java verification, and it shows a 'loading' animation with a grey box below reading 'Error'. Its when I click that I get, jreVerification.class Please help Download the offline version instead here http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and make sure to remove old versions using JavaRa. Good Luck and Welcome to CH.

I did that too, its returning an error as I mentioned aboveTry disabling your firewall and protection softwares then go with the offline installer first. Quote from: jason2074 on August 29, 2012, 06:27:51 AM Try disabling your firewall and protection softwares then go with the offline installer first. I did that and its returning me an error like this Quote load: class Client.class not found.Try reading this thread as some users were able to resolve their java error installation. http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f120/java-error-application-failed-to-run-543573.html Good luck.

I did everything I could including turning off firewall, disabling UAC and everything, but none worked so far. All browsers are showing the same errorThis looks like a bad applet, or your computer isn't properly downloading the jar or class file. What website is this you are accessing? If you can't say for whatever reason, can you check and see if it works on other computers or ask the author if there are known issues? Quote from: TechnoGeek on August 29, 2012, 09:41:52 AM This looks like a bad applet, or your computer isn't properly downloading the jar or class file. What website is this you are accessing? If you can't say for whatever reason, can you check and see if it works on other computers or ask the author if there are known issues? Actually I am sure the Applet looks good because It worked till YESTERDAY night. Then I slept and after I woke up and logged in, it wont work. It should be a problem with my computer because for everyone else the applet works. Is there some setting that I am messing with?Another thing you can try is to open Java under Control Panel (Control Panel -> Programs under win7), Click View... under the Temporary Internet Files section. Now delete everything under Resources and everything under Applications (from the top dropdown list). This clears the Java cache and can fix a lot of problems with updated applets.

I just now did that and restarted my browser. I now see that the error has changed BACK to jreVerification.classAre you logged in as an administrator? I saw a mention of not having admin rights sometimes being the problem. If you are logged in as an administrator, I'm not sure what else could possibly cause this problem. Yes, there is only one account for my laptop and that is the admins I am glad you treid thoughIf it worked just a couple of days prior, maybe try system restore to an earlier date.i do not believe java is available for laps or notebooks at least not on any of mine, but it functions perfectly on the desk. |

Solve : How do I get rid of a web site?? |
|
Answer» Hi - I have tried everything I can think of but I can't get out.EXACTLY what have you tried? Do their emails have an unsubscribe link in them? If you can't get yourself removed from their mailing list, create a message rule in your email to send their emails directly to the deleted, trash, or junk mail, folder. Allan - When I use their e-mail address I get the same page as they send me each Monday morning. This page does not have any place to click on to remove me from their mailing list. I think Soybean's suggestion is my only choice. Thanks for your attention to my question. Bob Soybean - I have clicked on everything in their e-mail hoping that something would happen but nothing. Your suggestion of having their e-mails sent to the trash file appears to be a solution. Thanks for your time. We can consider my problem solved. Bob |

Solve : Improving the annotation of graphics? |

Answer» In the website for Fototagger, http://www.fototagger.com/, one sees OBJECTS linked by lines to TAGS. In an EXAMPLE in TOUR : http://www.fototagger.com/home_users/product_tour/tag_image/, the lines are shown to have blue squares at either end. In THAT photo, those squares are quite useful. When using the software, the squares show, whether appropriate as in the TOUR picture, or INAPPROPRIATE as would be in the website picture. 'How to remove those squares ?' has been asked in the Fototagger forum, years ago, with out an answer. I have written to the software vendors, but been unable to elicit a response.

Solve : how to delete itunes duplicates?? |
|
Answer» id really like to clean up my itunes library, but ive got a stupid-huge amount of music. using the "display exact duplicates" option, i have in the thousands of duplicates. My total library is far too large to effectively "backup" as apple recommends, so im a little hesitant to use some of these scripts that are available. As for the physical music location, some of it is "track" duplicates from itunes, but others are actual file duplicates. All the duplicates seem to have been added at virtually the same time, so i cant sort the library by "date added" and simply delete half of it. Does anyone have an idea of how i can get rid of some of these other than doing it ONE by one? |

Solve : Computer booting issues? |

Answer» First of all, my profile is INCORRECT. I run a GATEWAY nv74 of some sort on windows 7 and i'm about pretty experienced. So here's my problem. Recently, I downloaded a file called EZVID onto my laptop. I did my research and neither norton nor virustotal detected anything weird. So i went ahead and installed it. Soon after starting, my COMPUTER crashed and now it wont boot up. I have light, fans, ect and can fully function on start up repair. However, the start up repair doesn't work and I dont know exactly what to do. I have my files backed up on a default norton backup, but im not sure if I GET the backup if I a computer wipe... in short, i dont know what my next MOVE should be. Try running your computer on safe mode and extract your important data. After that you can reboot with a fresh Disc of Windows 7.Try operating your computer on safe function and draw out your important data. After that you can restart with a clean Cd of Windows seven. |

I have the Old account password? Are the encrypition keys not stored on the hard drive somewhere?Is this iTunes stuff? Yeah they are music files that I used iTunes to PLAY. If you move the files to a new computer (which is what you have done) you need to authorize that computer on iTunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 Its not that, i cant physically move the mp3 files off the hardrive or add them to itunes off the hardrive.

Solve : Outlook having to send/receive to get emails?? |
|
Answer» I have a user with Outlook 2003 and on an Exchange 2010 server. Emails do not come into the inbox until a send/receive is done. Mailbox otherwise is ok. Good morning The Rock and welcome back to CH None of this has anything to do with an Exchange account. And to answer your question, Exchange uses an .ost file, not the .pst file used by pop accounts. Have you spoken with the Exchange Administrator?Hi Allan You brought up a good point with it being in off line, nice catch The OP was talking about the local PC and not the exchange server But with the questions I put up that is not true about outlook not using pst and only uses ost. I have migrated accounts that have had pst into exchange and same thing with imap servers. On checking if there is more than one account in outlook and if the wrong one is set as default they will not get any email if it is not set as default. They would have to hit the send and receive for all email accounts. I didn't know if he more than one email account / profile in outlook. Using outlooks detect and repair won't work just because he getting email from an exchange server, not true it can and has fixed issues in outlook many times. Sending an email and receiving an email to the affected account for testing wont work how? it is for testing. Disabling add-ons in outlook wont affect outlook in functioning CORRECT? Yes they do and it doesn't matter if the account is an exchange or pop. The add-ons are local in most cases and not global. One of the business that I was at today get there email through an exchange server and they are PST and not OST's Even the OP posted he was wondering if the PST were the issue, so that is why I put some of the information in the post. Mike Quote from: hartbeatmr on August 27, 2012, 05:14:05 PM Hi AllanYou don't know what you're talking about. Exchange uses push, not pull and the .pst file - OR the NUMBER of accounts - OR which one is the default account has nothing to do with anything. Please stop posting if you don't know what you're talking about - it's only confusing the issue, the thread, and the poster with the question. Thank you.Thanks for the replies guys.. Mailbox is definitely NOT offline and connected is in the bottom right hand corner. Detect and repair did not make any difference and there are no add-ons or disabled items. Allan..no i haven't spoken to the Exchange admin but this is the only user affected by the issue so i was assuming it's some sort of issue on the local PC/User. I don't know of this affecting anyone ELSE in the company!! No harm in checking with the admin. He may have to enable a permission for you. |

You can try Dell's advice here: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&docid=266787#HDD Basically taking the drive out and putting it back in again to see if the same error comes up. If you need to replace the hard drive, you can order a recovery disk from dell here: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dellcare/en/backupcd_form?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs Thanks for all the help.. i took out the harddrive and put it back in... i got the same error. so i requested the cdunfortunately dell is denying me the disc,,Why ? ? |

Solve : Window DVD maker? |
|
Answer» I've had no problems burning DVDs to Sony's DVD RW-R DISCS, but the maker refuses to complete burning to DVD R. I get an error at about 90%. I bought the latter the second time around figuring they would work, but they don't. Can anyone explain to me why not? Thanks in advance. Good evening Wyngs and welcome to CH It is hard to say, #1... The burner drive it self my be starting to fail. #2... There may be to many programs running in the back ground. Shut off nonessential software from msconfig #3... You could have ended up with a bad batch of disc's #4... TRY using another program instead of windows DVD maker try LIKE NERO etc. If it still fails than it may be a bad DVD drive #5... We don't know your PC spec's so maybe it is lacking in system resources. #6... If the DVD drive is quite a few years OLD because some older DVD drives didn't like minus (DVD RW-R or DVD-R) disc's Please let us know if there is any other questions that you may have. Hopefully something here may help you,please let us know how you make out. Mike Thank you, Mike. Yes, I didn't include much data did I? Windows 7, computer bought in January of this year. I have NERO, but am totally unfamiliar with it. I didn't even know what it was for. Haha. However, will now dig it out and check it. Thanks again.Hello again Wyngs What version of nero do you have maybe I can find a walk through that may help you. But honestly nero is one of the easiest CD burning software. My self I like version 7 and version 7 I am not that crazy about. Hope this helps you, Mike What brand were the DVD-R? I have seen some generic brands (and even some brand name discs) that just wouldn't work with some drives. I had the same issue with a batch of Sony DVD-R discs and my Samsung drive. I ended up giving the rest to a FRIEND and bought a stack of generic Princo ones and never had a problem with those. Quote from: hartbeatmr on August 22, 2012, 08:23:11 PM #6... If the DVD drive is quite a few years old because some older DVD drives didn't like minus (DVD RW-R or DVD-R) disc's The DVD-R standard came first in 1997. It was the later DVD+R disks of 2002 which confused older drives. Also applies to DVD-R(W) and DVD+R(W) rewriteables. For those 5 years the - character in DVD-R was just a dash; people called them "dee vee dee arrrs" in English (despite what Wikipedia says); when the newer format arrived, it was named +R and from then onwards people said minus or plus R. |

Solve : AV: Paid vs Free? |
|
Answer» I'm currently running free versions of: I ... would like to know if it would give me greater peace of mind to upgrade to (any) paid versions. How can anybody else know what would give you greater peace of mind? Depending on who you ask, paying for antivirus software is either a good investment or a total ripoff. In reality, neither viewpoint is accurate. You can find plenty of good reasons to choose a paid antivirus product, and plenty of good reasons to go with a freebie. Four basic levels of antivirus products exist: free, paid antivirus, suites, and "premium" suites. As you move up the ladder from free antivirus to premium suites, you typically get more features, such as identity theft protection, firewalls, parental controls, and system PERFORMANCE tools. Free antivirus software usually provides a bare minimum LEVEL of protection. It will scan for malware, and often can perform automatic scans, too. Paid antivirus straddles a middle ground between the basic freebies and the FEATURE-packed security suites: They typically offer more comprehensive security tools (such as parental controls and identity theft protection) and more flexibility than a free antivirus package, but they have fewer additional features than suites, which are intended to be one-stop security shops. One thing that the "you get what you pay for" people may sometimes overlook is that many free antivirus products are good products which are "paid for" by advertisers and pushers of adware/foistware/toolbars that you have to be alert to opt out of at install time, and many paid for (by you) suites have lots of bloat and stuff that not everybody wants or needs. Every supplier of antivirus products that come in free and paid for versions says they treat both types of customer the same when it comes to virus definition updates. Welcome Painted Pony to CH Both ST & Allan are correct and have valid points. In my opinion I have always been happy with 3 different ones depending on the person needs. Avast (free version) & Vipre Internet Security 2012 (paid version) & Malwarebytes (non active scanner & Free). Avast mainly for customer support because even the free version of Avast has one nice feature "Remote desktop" so on PC that have Avast and if they ask for HELP I can remote into there PC and help them. For over all protection I have always liked Vipre. Vipre full suite is one of the cheapest per lic & per year than any other AV suite and it protection is 2nd to none. For Kaspersky I know of people that have it and love it. Most of the people that I know of do not like McAfee & Norton but just like in the other post it can be a preference my self I do not like either one. If money is a cost just remember that a free AV is better than not running anything at all. This depend on what you do on-line and how safe you are. Well I hope this helps you maybe some other folks may give there opinion later. Mike |

Solve : Downloading McAfee...? |
|
Answer» Yep, me again. So I'm trying to download McAfee (haha, thanks now LET's get some help going) and I won't load beyond maybe 46% or so then it posts the UNABLE TO CONTINUE DOWNLOAD MESSAGE. Reason given ERROR 12152. I'm sure you know what that is but just in case... HTTP://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100407 Now I would also like to know if my Windows Firewall is ON during the download could that be the cause of the stopping? Yes, I have a slow speed but last time I loaded McAfee it took about 6 hours or less. this time it's telling me it will take 99 hr+ to load. And the time left keeps going from 99 hrs. to less than an hour then back to 99 then little more than 2 hrs. In other words it fluctuates. I'm not sure if that is due to the number of products coming in or it's hitting a snag often. Thanks for your help. Good evening casse2go If you have a slower internet connection I would go to local store and purchase McAfee or buy it online. The download time that windows tells you will vary and the time will change and go up and down. Just because it may say x amount of time that will change. The error you are getting is McAfee telling you it is timing out on the download. Hope this helps, Mike Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply... what I'm going to do right now is try the remedy for 12152 ERROR. I think it was the Norton Security Scan in my programs that was the stopage, so I uninstalled it. I'll let you know how it goes either way. Mike I have always had a slower modem even on my first download of McAfee, but it didn't take more than 5 or 6 hrs to load the suite. This one is 131937.85KB and I started loading it at around 11:30 yesterday. It never got halfway. Now even when McAfee scans my comp of its more than 266000+ files it takes only about 9 hours. Anyway, I've gotten rid of NSS and now I'm going to my restart and back to the download. Let's hope it works. This is really wearing on me. Thanks again Mike... Personally I think not being able to download any McAfee products is a positive, not a negative. They are, in my opinion, awful products and if I were you I would use ANYTHING else.Thank you Allan, however, there are advantages to even what appears to be a disadvantage. Now, I did indeed uninstall Norton Security Scan from my Programs and Features as indicated in the ERROR 12152. As a result the download went without event and is now complete. Thank you again Mike for your post, and you as well Allan. If I may I would like to say something and hope that you guys can tell me why it is. AOL users are or should be quite familiar with that little pop up asking us if we want to stay on-line, YES or NO. (and that awful notification noise). If you leave your comp unattended for maybe 45 mins or so, it goes off, and some time later if you don't select YES you'll be booted from on-line. Well I have found that if you open TWITTER (and there must be other SITES) you can leave the comp for as long as you want and that pop up will not come in. I'm thinking maybe it's because The Twit always has some activity, but can you guys tell me why that is. Thanks...Good evening casse2go and welcome back I think I know what you are talking about it is a timer for AOL customers on dial up service if I remember right. Why twitter would affect this I have no idea. Is your AOL account associated with twitter that may be why and see's that as activity. I do know that years ago there used to be a little program that took care of the AOL timer and I don't remember what the name was and I think it worked with AOL 6.0 or 7.0 possibly but I am not sure if it will work with the newer versions of AOL. Hope this helps. Mike Yeah, the AOL Idle Timer. They say it's associated with the Child Guards and it can't be turned off. Also that it is because so many people are online or trying to come online the phones are always tied up with day long users. Okay, but I pay AOL to be on-line as long as I want without them prompting me whenever I leave my comp for 30 minutes or so. Plus, I have no child guards on; I have no CHILDREN in my home. So AOL refuses to turn the darned thing off even with constant complaints over the years; they say it can't be turned off. I say, anything that can be activated can be deactivated. Is The Twit associated with AOL? I have no idea. I did a quiz about the Twit and I never saw anything about it being associated with AOL. Maybe in the last year as my quiz went up more than a year ago. How would my AOL acct be tied in to The Twit? I can ask someone Twiter if they're under the AOL umbrella. I'm gonna experiment with a few other sites that have constant posting. I still like learning how and why. Thanks Mike |
