I need to reinstall everio mediabrowser hd edition that originally came with my JVC camcorder GZHM 330

None of the LINKS on the jvc websites are letting me download the mediabrowser. Even if it did download, there are so many different versions of everio mediabrowser that I'm confused which one to try .

Plus a LOT of sites that are offering the download are asking for payment after a free scan etc. They then ask you to register. Which I'm finding out really means a payment.

I know the everio mediabrowser was a free install, but a store technician loaded it onto my laptop when I bought the camcorder.

How do I reinstall the mediabrowser. It BECOME uninstalled unintentionally when I uninstalled heaps of programs to speed up my laptop.

No Installation Disc – It’s built into Everio*Because it's built right into the Everio camera itself*, the new Everio MediaBrowser 3 can be installed directly on your PC right after connecting via USB. No CD required!

Everio MediaBrowser™ HD Edition* This product is a software bundled with JVC Everio

from http://www.everio.jvc.com/hdeverio/feature/feature_04.htmlfrom http://www.pixela.co.jp/oem/jvc/mediabrowser/e/mediabrowser_hd_2/index.html

Its an OEM product that should have shipped with your camcorder... I wouldn't be surprised if the official developer site (http://www.pixela.co.jp/) wants to charge you to download it separately.

I'm sorry I can't help you as you'll have to download it again... and the latest version costs money. Perhaps you might want to go back to the store technician-he should have given you a copy of the software to keep.
I noticed that the first version is available as a free download: http://www.downloadplex.com/Windows/Audio-Multimedia/Collection-Manager/everio-mediabrowser_332254.html

Its probably the ads on the site triggering Trend Micro Security's virus detection.

Hello, I can help you (hopefully) it's been a while since you posted the question, do you still need help or is it resolved? let me know.

Finally got my newest gaming system all built.

Found out that sleep mode causes BSOD and so I disabled sleep mode. Other than that it runs fine and FAST

I decided to run CPUZ to see what the voltages were reporting etc and while running CPUZ I saw my core voltage swing from .937 Volts to 1.425 Volts with voltages in between these values changing about once every few seconds.

I decided to save the information to text file and look at the raw data collected from CPUZ and thats when it caught my eye that this is normal and not a power supply or VRM issue.

I figured I'd share this here in case anyone else doesnt know that this is normal for different power states based on an AMD Cool'n Quiet config like I am running to underclock and undervoltage the CPU when processing demands are lower.

I have a PAGE where the customer can enter their details of a previous quote like their name, address, quote ID etc and then I want the sheet to search another sheet to find the full set of details from their quote.
Is this possible? Do I need to create a form or can it be done in the sheet?
I need full details of how to do it please?
Thanks in advance.Your CUSTOMERS have access to 'your' excel spreadsheets?

Usually something like this is done through a form which is browser / web based and references to a database to search for information from.The spreadsheet is to be used by the sales assistants only. This part of the process is just to save time if the customer has used the company before so no need to enter details again or to recover their previous quote/order. So could I use a form in Excel to find the details after they have entered a couple to distinguish them from other customers? What would you recommend? ThanksHave you ever considered an Access Database? With Access you can have an interface that your sales assistant would use and they could simply enter in the customers name or other information and find the customer quickly within seconds or less depending on size of database.

In years past I use to support Napa Tracs a software package that gave automotive garages the ability to track inventory, automobiles, warranties, customers, etc and this product worked very well. Many garages prior to this were trying to get by with excel spreadsheets and it was a big mess.

Depending on what your making quotes for you might find a software product out there that can avoid you from having to reinvent the wheel, although if you want a highly customized database Access is the way to go if you already have it as part of your MS Office package.I must use excel, its a school project only USING excel. I am fully aware of how much easier excel is to use.Quote

I agree with the kid if I'm honest.

I need help FINDING out computer activity potentially as specific as web sites visited at a certain exact time on a certain exact day in the past. I have, of course, since this day and time; performed a browser cache clear deleting files, completed a disk cleanup of the C, and even used my virus protector to clean out files, etc. I'm assuming I even performed these functions immediately after the time I was looking to go BACK to, therefore, I'm not sure system restore is an option although it's a possibility if that would actually recover such data. Please help! Thanks!

NOTE: I am still running on Windows XP.System restore only deals with Windows files...
That being stated what exactly are you after...and why ? ?
Oddly enough; I'm trying to prove to my X or maybe still girlfriend that I was home a certain night and that the sound she heard of a voice mail I left for her was audio from a web site on my computer..........not some woman I was hanging out with.
I'm hoping to specifically see what web sites I visited or pages on a certain day at a certain time. I was home the whole night. I know I cooked dinner that night too which took me quite some time from prep cooking, cooking it, eating, then cleaning up after. I also attempted the index.dat file readings. I was able to read them, but there were only two for that day at 5 a.m. when I was asleep. I have no idea if that program runs on another timezone possibly. Most days times were messed up so....that option is done.If you made any Google searches during that time, and have your Google ACCOUNT's browser history enabled, you should be able to find that query. If you searched for something like "funny girl prank mp3", it has to be enough to chill your GF.

You can get it from the Mozilla.org site. But it you are doing Firefox, likely it already did the download for you anyway.
The NEW version claims to be more secure and will give better performance. YET there is not need to upgrade unless you just WANT too. If you do not want the automatic upgrade, you have to go into advanced options and find the UPDATE tab. There you will have to uncheck the automatic update.
Version 33.1 is my preference, and you can revert backs OP it by finding a download of that older version. It is available from other sites as well as Mozilla.

I have SANYO SCP-3100 camera picture quality is 640 X 480 is this equal to less than 1/3 MEGAPIXEL.640 * 480 = 307,200 pixels

307,200 * 3 = 921,600 pixels

921,600 is less than 1 megapixel (which is around 1,000,000 pixels).

So yes, 640x480 RESOLUTION is less than 1/3rd of a megapixel.Quote from: camerongray on January 17, 2015, 07:36:50 AM

Is there a way to get a phone to pop up as connected to my computer?the USB mass storage is on and the drivers installed but I cannot find the phone on m,y computer folders. I do not have an sdcard in it just want to pull my ringtones and pictures off. ALSO no serviceYou will likely have to track down a driver that will allow for the phone to mount to computer.

Some Tether software allows for you to access pictures etc, but I am not finding any good hits on google for a Tether software with this phone model.It installed it when I plugged it inTry installing this driver from the LG website: http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LG505C
He doesn't LIKE installing drivers...I install then still not seeing it and forget it. I am too STUPID to do it as patio pointed outThe phone doesn't install it's driver just by connecting it...try Strollin's link above.

I have that driver and it has not helped

Hello, this is my first post.
I would like an assistant with a project i am working on.

How does a FILE created, From the BASICS, along with all the phases.
like, L1~L3, Virtual Memory, Address Bus, CPU Interrupts \ ALU, RAM \ HDD
i SEARCHED for related information
but without any success.

Thank you for your help.We don't usually do homework here.Im asking for guidance.
If anyone know which process come first.
does the CPU starts with interrupts and HEADS to the RAM \ HDD?
or am i mistakenUpon initial boot the BIOS performs checks of the motherboard prior to the OS booting.

CPU TEST is prior to RAM test, and RAM test is prior to HDD test. There are others in between as well and so you will want to do some research.

Here is some x86 info:

I want to know where I can study basics about compiler. I am having this subject in my SEMESTER so want to learn C compiler thoroughly. Plz help. I have a book of compiler DESIGN of Aho. But its little bit hard. I want to learn it fully. This is an odd request as for usually people are learning a programming language in college etc and its techniques and programming methods learned. The compilers are generally just a tool as part of an IDE that takes the program you wrote that is in a FORM easily read and understood by humans and it spits out a compiled binary of that program that is in the language that the computer understands and runs with.

So your actually taking a course that is on 'just' compilers for C and their internal workings and what they do?

Which compiler design book are you using?Well simply put, compilers just turns what ever programing language via c, c++, vb, noms on it, turns into binary 1's & 0's and plops out a exe. I am using Compiler Design -- Compiler Principles, Techniques and Tools by Aho,Seth
Try to read Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation by Steven Muchnick (Author) Where is your school? They should have a set of TEXTBOOKS RECOMMENDED for your course.

I have given up getting my stuff of the PHONE and want to do a factory RESET in CASE decided to sell the phone or GET rid of it. Is there a WAY to do this? It is a straight talk phone

I am trying to reconnect my Magnavox MBP 5120 blu-ray player to my Linksys WRT120N routers wifi (which I have done before without trouble) and I am getting DHCP cannot be acquired. I have change the IP ADDRESS to manual on the blu-ray player without changing the IP address itself and no error. I have checked the routers settings and DHCP is enabled. Is there a way to FIX this? I had it connected just fine so I added the ip/mac address to the DHCP Reservation think that would help it did not. Thia is the player http://www.walmart.com/ip/15080510?www=true&productRedirect=true. and here is proof of the error http://tinypic.com/r/nozwi1/8
From your post it seems it was working and now it does not.
Error messages are not always y ACCURATE. A router will provide DHCP service to any WIRELESS client in range that attempts to make connection.
What did you change?
What did you add or remove?
Wi-Fi devices may fail fora number of reasons.
A. Component failure. The unit has to go back to the factory.
B. Configuration changes. Any body plaything with the device may have changed settings.
C. Severe interference from another device, such as a cell phone at close range.

If it were me, I would take tit to a friend's house and SEE if it works on their system.
But if the device is still in warranty, I would consider sending it back. I did not change anything, did not add/remove anything.
I was just on it conected fine no errors turned the player off and back on and will not connect and gives error

I have THREE different cameras which I use and need to LOAD the photos from them to my PC. Each comes with it's own software but I want to use ONE application whichever camera I connect to. My OS is Windows 8.1. I use Picasa as the default for viewing photos and WOULD like to use it to load them too if POSSIBLE. How do I do this?Sorry, but I posted this too soon. I have resolved it myself. Seems its done under Autoplay on Control Panel.Alternatively, you can just open File Explorer when connect a camera card and navigate to the camera card, which will appear as a separate drive, within File Explorer.

hello,

I'm a student on a secondary school in Holland, and I recently started trying to learn how a computer works, and in particular the the cpu and its main components, the hardware side of the computer. I would like to have some advice on how to start learning and where to begin like what books are good to read or what topics i could use. It is for a school PROJECT i could choose my self, and I am really instrested in how it works but I just dont know where to start. The project is about how the cpu works, so what happens inside the cpu when you try to light a LED with an input signal like a button.
For first i hope that you know that you will be able understant only principles, CPU are MASSIVE COMPLEX beasts.
Your first steps should be into basic digital circuits, there are plenty of books and even youtube videos (or free online courses) and if you are really intrested i would suggest to buy some kits, or just plain chips and try to build some simple things. (Of course there are simulators but real hardware is fun and can give you much more motivation) If you want to have from TIME to time some help then send me a pm with skype,mail or whatever. That would be great, i'll send you some information in the morning. I got some hardware as well, an arduino due i though which i was able to borrow from someone.

Hey guys, until today my graphic card worked just fine. But today, when i tried to START my games it always popped up the error Out of range. 25.1khz or so...i get this on every game. I tried RUNNING the games in 640x480. Same error. I tried CHANGING to base video in msconfig. Same error. Adjusting the frames to 60. Same error...any idea of what that COULD be? Drivers are up to date...

Testing again. I just put the PATH name and file without spaces.

Nope. Did not work.We don't mind you testing, but please keep it to one thread. ThanksI see how it works now without having to post MULTIPLE threads. After I make changes and save out of the PROFILE, I can click on any recent TOPIC I POSTED in and see the changes there under my post.

Looking at deals at newegg this caught my eye as unusual. I didnt know that hardware specific for bitcoin mining was being sold out there. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA68020W5714&cm_re=BitCrane_T-110S-_-9SIA68020W5714-_-Product

Personally I feel that if money was really to be made mining bitcoins, then wouldnt everyone be doing it? Anyone out there mined in the past to share on this subject. Also i have seen tons of sites out there offering software to turn your computer into a bit coin miner and these so called POOLS where groups of random members farm with teamed processing power and then the so called honest site when a bit coin is farmed will share the value of it with the members whose computers were farming them in which what type of auditing is going on to protect these people in the pools from basically donating their computers processing power and not getting anything in return for the wasted electricity and wear on their system.

Are there any that are trusted out there or is it the wild west of the internet where there are many thieves among a potentially profitable gold mining venture if you are not taken advantage of?It's the Wild West...

Tread carefully...many who have bought such PC's will never get enough coins to RECOUP their investment.Thanks Patio for your input on this. I have no plans to farm them, nor buy a box for $700 just to crunch them out.

If there was a honest farming program out there I would probably test it out, but not commit to paying an addition to my electric bill just for a chance to farm one of them etc.DaveLembke
... want a great deal on a bridge? It's a big risk. the values fluctuate massively. Nowadays it is very hard to mine bitcoins in a cost effective manner, people starting now are trying to get into it based on all the success stories from years ago when it was much easier.

Devices like that use ASICs - Special chips designed purely for calculating the hashes that Bitcoin mining requires - This makes them extremely fast since that is all the chip is designed to do. In fact, nowadays for Bitcoin at least, they are the only viable option, the days of GPU and CPU mining are long gone. That said, the time that it would take nowadays to break even is very high and it is extremely hard to predict what will happen to the value in that time.Better off using those resources for Folding...or SETI....

I'm still of the mind that Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme.

I agree with you here, and thats the main reason why i never farmed them when this first started, but its surprising that it hasnt topled yet, and more and more places are accepting them as valid forms of payment.

Was looking to see if there was any deals on the AMD FX8350, and saw this one here that someone bought. Tried to force the CPU in the wrong way bending and breaking off pins. And then they listed it on ebay and 8 people have bid so far on it for like $51.

Question I have is, does anyone know of a way to repair for missing pins that were snapped off?

I have been lucky with getting some second or third hand CPU's given to me in the past that had a few bent pins that I was able to straighten out and get to fit into a motherboards cpu socket to make a functional system, but if there are pins busted off, I am not aware of any repair kit etc to replace snapped off pins.

My guess is that these people bidding on this have no idea that there are missing pins that are missing from being damaged or there may be a way to fix missing pins that I am unaware of...

Sure there are pins that are intentionally missing by design, but in the picture I THINK I see 2 pins that should be there that are completely sheered off gone.

Quote

Barely used AMD FX 8350 with some pins bent and some missing. I tried to shove it into the motherboard the wrong way. Learned my lesson. It's hard to tell, but it looks like there are 5 bent and 3 missing.

I seriously doubt that without master soldering skills...or other skills that missing pins can be fixed...
Proceed with caution...after all it's only a CPU.

Let us know when you get the pins back on

Does it work? Watch the video!

AMD is working on a new hybrid CPU that is part silicon and part insect.
If damaged, it can grow new legs.

I am still pretty surprised that AMD are still using PGA chips rather than LGA like Intel (Unless there is some legal thing that means only Intel can do it).

AMD offered the Athlon 64 FX series on socket 1207FX through ASUS's L1N64-SLI WS motherboards. It was the only desktop LGA solution offered by AMD.

The AMD server LGA socket is designated Socket G34 (LGA 1944). Like Intel, AMD decided to use LGA sockets for their higher pin densities, as a 1944-pin PGA would simply be too large for most motherboards.

Saw this on Gigabyte's Facebook page today and was like... WOW that is overkill cooling and a waste of ELECTRIC. My guess is that this was probably staged to draw attention to it as for its just ridiculous.

The only THOUGHT i ever had for home made cooling was years ago before LIQUID cooling kits were affordable to drill 2 holes into one of those small office cube refrigerators through the front door where there is no refrigerant lines to worry about puncturing and have a coil of copper tube in it, with 2 barb fittings at the door and rubber hose to have the Input of warm and Outlet of Chilled liquid to the fridge and constant flow of chilled liquid to the PC, and use a small universal electric fuel PUMP that would run on 12 volts to keep the cycle of heated liquid to the fridge and the chilled liquid back to the CPU/GPU, but fact of the matter is these days you might as well just get a liquid cooling setup that is manufactured than to craft your own and have hoses running to a fridge or elsewhere ETC...LOL

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]I give credit for creativity, but as you said waste of electric. Not everyone has the skills to build this and have no choice but to buy a manufactured one.

My system that runs on a daily basis is in need of a cleaning. Its been about 15 months. Just haven't gotten can of canned air yet. Its not severe yet, but I like keeping everything dust free. The heatsink to the CPU still has adequate airflow etc, but there are deposits of fine powdery dust building up on surface mount parts on back side of video card and other locations were gravity deposits form of any particles that get sucked in and dont make their way out the exhaust fans.

I have never had a system go to the extreme of completely clogged heatsinks etc like the ones that I use to see from customers systems in which you remove the front cover and the tower has a beard consisting of human and mostly animal hair since the customers golden lab liked to sleep under the guys desk where the computer tower was located etc.

I had a wolf spider living inside my system last summer and joked to my wife who hates spiders that its keeping the computer bugs out of the system by catching and eating them. Saw him climb out of the case a couple times and climb back in. Opened side panel and found an array of webs to catch prey. EVICTED the spider and removed those webs for fear that they could get wrapped up in the fans and seize them up since they claim that a spider web is stronger than steel strand of the same diameter, and I have seen many laptops fail due to the smallest human hair getting snagged into a fan and keeping it from spinning, so while dust isnt a good thing its not as critical to remove a small amount of it as spider webs and a single strand of hair can cause a system to overheat and shutdown when the fans SNAG or seize up.Quote

I was thinking about using a bookable Anti-Virus to clan a laptop for my neighbor. She has a lap[TOP running Windows 7 and Malware BYTES can not finish a scan.
I see here a site that claims to have ANEW list of free bookable AV tools.

So my question is: should I just GO over to the virus forum and get help, or should I TRY on of these first?
What do you thing? Cleaning a computer involves much more than running an AV scan. You should post this question in the malware forum.

I'm wondering if anyone has come across ANYTHING that would let you display a web page on the WINDOWS lock screen.

Back story:
I was getting ready to leave work the other day and needed to check my kiwi syslog web interface for any new events and had to unlock my workstation in order to see that there was nothing wrong. Then I started thinking. Why can't I have the web page viewable on my lock screen so I don't have to go through such a difficult task of logging into windows to see the logs?


I have found, and regularly use on some of my systems, the Transparent Screen Lock program, which uses a non-Windows locking mechanism so you can see everything on the screen, but not able to make changes. But on my administration workstation, there's sometimes stuff that I don't want prying eyes to see, so I don't think that can be my solution.

In my short amount of googling, I didn't find anything, so does anyone have any idea for a way to get this done or have a BETTER idea?
I have seen businesses use keyboard & mouse lock software in which you need to press like ( Left & Right Shift keys + Escape key) at the same time to unlock the system, so you can lock it and walk away and as long as no one knows your keystroke combination to unlock it, its well protected. Seen this used with Windows XP systems that are for display only purposes where keyboard/mouse can not be locked down or restricted of access.

Trying to figure out the cause of why on a Windows XP Home SP3 clean build with latest drivers for ATI Radeon HD5450 1GB video card, rest of the hardware is a Biostar A760 M2+ motherboard with Athlon 64 x2 4850e 2.5Ghz CPU and 2GB ( 2 x 1GB DDR2 RAM )... ... issue I have which isn't very critical but is more of an annoyance is that when dragging windows on the desktop I am getting a dragging of overlays trailing the window which remain for about 1/2 second and disappear.

Here are some things I have tried:

- I had a spare video card same make model and swapped from a system running windows 7 with no issue with moving windows objects... problem remained. * so I know its not the video card.

- Updated driver to latest for Windows XP 32-bit OS and problem remained.

- Ran memtest86 and it passed the memory test for multiple passes... looked at CPU-Z and it said that the memory sticks were slower PC2-4200 sticks, motherboard supports 800Mhz DDR2 and so I installed a pair of 1GB PC2-6400 sticks. CPU-Z shows these running at 800Mhz, ran memtest86 again and all is well. Moved a window and problem still there.

Other than this annoyance this system I'm able to PLAY all sorts of heavily graphic intense games such as Tera Rising, World of Warcraft, and Aion with good 25-40 fps on normal settings and no lag or freeze framing.

Was wondering if there was something else to check into that I haven't already to diagnose the issue/annoyance?

I was thinking of booting the system off of a different OS to see if the problem remains or not. I will probably test this TONIGHT with Linux Mint 17.1 that I burned recently for a different system.

Ok... I ran some more tests before trying a different OS /driver combination.

I found that when Not Stressing the System RAM I get small glitches with windows that overlap other windows being moved such as in the first pic.

Other times I can tear windows off the desktop and move them and a void remains as seen in the 2nd pic.

Then when Stressing the System RAM, I can make the problem much worse where the problem seems to happen only with overlapping windows, but not very often on the open desktop area as seen in the 3rd pic.

*The RAM is a matched pair bought from Corsair as a matched set of 1GB sticks and passes Memtest86.

Original RAM was swapped out thinking that it was a memory issue. Original RAM passed memtest86 as well.

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]The overdraw is because the windows behind are not redrawing.

When you move a Window and reveal part of an underlying window, the Process that Window is part of is sent a Windows Message via the Window Callback, and, effectively, told to paint the exposed area.

If the program doesn't paint or the message isn't serviced quickly enough, you get trails on that window.

Why it would be occurring on that system, I don't know. It doesn't have to be related to the video driver, it could be any other driver or even a background process of some sort somehow hogging timeslices.

You could use something like Process Explorer, and run it in the background and examine the log graphs after you witness it while using it normally to see what seems to be using up the CPU and preventing the Paint messages from being responded to in a timely fashion.Thanks BC, I'll try that out and see if i can figure it out. I have since tried a live Linux on it and everything in the Linux ENVIRONMENT is healthy. No glitches noticed. So its something strange with this build I guess.

• Virus/Malware slowing computer down: Fresh install not a problem
• Ram/Video card hardware failure: Swaped out so not an issue
• Video card driver issue: Updated, and hardware is old enough to have very stable drivers for XP

The motherboard starting to die is my favorite solution here. When you did a clean install of Windows did you reinstall on a freshly formatted drive?

One last thought. Your other games run fine, how old is your harddrive?
Try turning off virtual memory and see what happens. It can be accessed at: Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> Advanced Tab ->Click Change and adjust to 0.

BobPardon me if I make this harder that it needs to be. The e-mail system is undergoing some changes DUE to security problems.

Some e-mail programs use the SMTP method to send out mail.
Quote

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is an Internet standard for electronic mail (e-mail) transmission. First defined by RFC 821 in 1982, it was last updated in 2008 with the Extended SMTP additions by RFC 5321 - which is the protocol in widespread use today. SMTP by default uses TCP port 25.

Yesterday I was given a dead eMachine computer and the main board has a cold solder joint or something wrong with it along those lines. Very unstable and power supply good, ram checked out, and it has one of the worst motherboards in it from ECS. I decided to gut it and use the good parts and toss the board out after first pulling off all good parts = CPU, RAM, Jumpers.

Inside this eMachine was a 750GB SATA II 7200RPM HDD and so I used my drive duplicator to clone a 1 for 1 from my 160GB SATA II HDD to this 750GB SATA II HDD and figured I'd just resize it from WINDOWS 7 64-bit Home Premium once its booted and running Windows 7.

Well I hit a problem... problem is that the feature to extend the volume is grayed out. .... so some might ask why only limit yourself to a 40GB C: partition of a 160GB HDD with Windows 7... well the history of this system is that originally the build was on a 40GB SSD in this system. I pulled the 40GB SSD for use in newer system and drive duplicated the 40GB SSD to a 160GB HDD and this made a 40GB partition on the 160GB HDD for Windows 7 and left around 120GB unused. I CREATED a partition in the 120GB space for data and program installations. Now duplicating from that 160GB to 750GB drive I have the 40GB, 120GB, and a large unused space allocation on the drive.

What i want to do is size the C: from 40GB to 100GB which is more than plenty for Windows 7 to grow with MS Updates etc. Currently C: has 4 GB free and so its starting to get tight. Looking at the 120GB partition on the drive I could extend this to a larger size if wanted but i was actually going to leave this 120GB space alone, and after the C: was increased in size to 100GB create another partition to use the remaining space, then copy the data from the old 164.7GB SATA 1 HDD to this space and remove the 164.7GB HDD from daily use after about 10 years of use and in excess of 65000 run hours.

Is this resizing able to be done from within Windows 7 somehow or should I use a 3rd party tool... also if a 3rd party tool is best, what are your suggestions?

The good thing is that if I kill the data on the 750GB drive right now I am not in trouble as for the original 160GB drive is still in my drive duplicator so, I can experiment without risk of total data loss. But instead of just trying whatever tools that google suggests for this problem, i figured I'd check with you all here for your input on this.

At some point I suppose I should back up all the data to an external and perform a full clean rebuild of this system but its so highly configured and some software on it I'd be looking for a needle in a hay stack for installation discs that are likely still in boxes that I havent opened since moving to a new house a few months ago... and hopefully the boxes still exist since my wife stated the one day that if you dont need something after a certain period of time you just throw it away. I am not a pack rat, but I am also not wasteful and so i dont throw stuff away that hasnt been used for 90 days and then 6 months later buy another one of them because now I need it again ... sometimes she drives me crazy with her wasteful habits that burns money ... you guys cant help with that and thats sort of off subject anyways

Edit: After thinking about the 65,000+ run hours on the 164.7GB HDD that I would be removing from use I decided to check the run time on this 750GB HDD and its got some mileage on it. I guess I will be not wiping the 160GB HDD and will place it into storage in a ESD bag in case this 750GB dies from high mileage. This computer was used at a clients business running just about daily 24/7 for 4.28 years. I talked them into getting a better Core i3 HP for $399.99 as a REPLACEMENT with Windows 7.

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]You cannot extend a partition unless it would extend into empty space, so the first partition cannot be extended using Disk Management.

Other partition tools, like gparted from a Live CD, may work. The process involves moving the entire second partition, so data loss would be a consideration. Since it is a clone of another HDD that's less of an issue since you could TRY again from the same drive though.Quote

You cannot extend a partition unless it would extend into empty space, so the first partition cannot be extended using Disk Management.

So C: cant skip past G: to grab the unused space at the tail end of this 750GB I guess your saying, so I will have to move the data off of the G: 120GB partition elsewhere so that there is no other partitions on the drive so C: to be able to expand without conflict ... or use a 3rd party tool?

Our galactic neighborhood just got a LOT bigger. NASA on Wednesday announced the discovery of 715 new planets, by far the biggest batch of planets ever unveiled at once.
By way of comparison, about 1,000 planets total had been identified in our galaxy before Wednesday.

...Launched in March 2009, the Kepler space observatory was the first NASA mission to find planets similar to Earth that are in, or near, habitable zones -- DEFINED as planets that are the right distance from a star for a moderate temperature that might sustain liquid water.
Tuesday's planets all were verified using data from the first TWO years of Kepler's voyage, meaning there may be many more to come.

I bought a laptop from Dell and within 30 minutes of TAKING it out of the box it froze up. I contacted tech support they guided me through some test and everything passed. Then they asked me to ALLOW them access to check something else and it froze while tech support had control. I was kind of relived since it meant they knew exactly what was happening. They had me set it back to factory settings which took 3 hours. I spent a total of 5 hours dealing with trying to get it fixed. After the 3 hours Dell called me back asked me did it freeze during the 3 hours of resetting it didn't so they said issue resolved but withing a few minutes it froze again! I contacted them again they wanted to run the same test. I told them been there done that I want to return it. It freezes 5-6 times when using it. After 3 days of back and forth I finally got their approval to return it! I have always bought from Dell never had trouble right out of the box. I am going to mail it back tomorrow but I'm curious about what could cause this and why tech support can't figure it out. I need a laptop but now that I'm having to send this one back I worried about buying again. I thought I was getting a good deal it's a touch screen running windows 8.1 with intel processor for $379. Anyone ever experience this? Do you think I just got a bad one and if I rebuy the same model it would be ok or should I buy a different model? Dell support I have heard is good. Their computers are hit and miss for quality. The fact that its a low cost laptop it may be a model that they cut corners on. I'd give the replacement laptop a try if you can afford to wait for the other to arrive. If you inform them the urgency of a replacement sometimes they can send you one overnight delivery with them paying the over night cost to get it to you. BUT... when i have done this in the past with another laptop manufacturer ( Toshiba ) when a recertified refurb was sold to me and it had issues with the keyboard and accupointer ... this was years ago with a Toshiba Portege Pentium II 366Mhz running Windows 98... I had to give them my credit card to charge an additional laptop to, and secure the laptop that was shipped overnight to me at their expense, and then when UPS arrived with my laptop, I took the new one out of the box and shipped the problem one back to them with same box and the return RMA label that they provided with UPS guy waiting for me to swap out the computers and close the box back up to ship back. That same day Toshiba credited back my credit card for the $350 when they saw the broken laptop on its way back to them. The replacement laptop I got was in better used condition than the first and I used it for 3 of my college years from 2001 to 2004 before the Pentium II 366Mhz with 192MB RAM just wasnt cutting it for what I needed portable COMPUTING for which was Programming in which Visual Studio .Net 2002 edition became a college programming requirement in 2003 from that of Visual C++ 6.0 that I used prior, and it would not install to it because it didnt MEET the minimum system requirements.I've been using Dell systems for almost 20 years and have had very few issues. I've recently switched to HP only because Dell stopped allowing specific custom configurations I use. The fact is that as long as you stick with a name brand you'll be fine, but even a ROLLS Royce can have a defect or two. You can't assume that just because it's a Dell there will never be a lemon - nor can you draw negative conclusions from one bad experience. Stuff happens.Quote from: Allan on February 26, 2015, 06:12:37 AM

I came across this a few years ago and thought it quite interesting.

Hedy Lamarr along with George Antheil were granted the patent for frequency hopping (CDMA) in 1942 and is used in satellite and cell phone communication.

R. Price, "Further notes and anecdotes on spread-spectrum origins," IEEE Trans. Commun., COM-31, pp. 85-97, Jan. 1983.

These three papers are a fascinating account of the historical origins of spread spectrum. Early events include the bizarre story of U. S. Patent number 2, 292, 387, granted in 1942 to Hedy K. Markey and George Antheil, neither of them ENGINEERS, for "SECRET Communication System." Hedy K. Markey was better known at the time under her Hollywood stage name, Hedy Lamarr. Antheil was a composer of symphonies, which may account for the statement in the disclosure that a frequency hopping repertoire of 88 frequencies could readily be accommodated. Hints of spread spectrum techniques actually can be found in work as early as 1901. Very interesting materiel.
Hedy Lamarr

For years many have worked against frequency hopping due to the need of a fast controller to make it work. Conventional Radio and Television still sticks to the concept of one frequency, one owner.
But modern microwave communication depends on spread spectrum to reduce interference and multiple paths lose.

Introduction
Land-MOBILE communication is burdened with particular propagation complications compared to the channel characteristics in radio systems with fixed and carefully positioned antennas. The antenna height at a mobile terminal is USUALLY very small, typically less than a few meters. Hence, the antenna is expected to have very little 'clearance', so obstacles and reflecting surfaces in the vicinity of the antenna have a substantial influence on the characteristics of the propagation path. Moreover, the propagation characteristics change from place to place and, if the mobile unit moves, from time to time. Thus, the transmission path between the transmitter and the receiver can vary from simple direct line of sight to one that is severly obstructed by buildings, foliage and the terrain.

Saw an e-mail that I thought was a tech e-mail and when i opened it this is what I saw. The e-mail address and subject line "Nvidia CUDA : practical uses" looked to be a real e-mail with technical content in regards to nvidia, but it was this spam instead... I removed the e-mail address and URL info etc so that no one accidentally follows the path to the unknown. It seems as one of many tech sites that I participate/comment on, someone may have gotten my e-mail address from. Only problem is not knowing which one since I never share my e-mail address openly. The good thing is that its only a single e-mail and not a flooded mailbox with them ... ( yet ) at least.

Hi Guys,

So about a WEEK and a half ago I bought a Lenovo Flex 2 14 laptop from Harvey Norman and it was the display model. So naturally it has a lot of Harvey Norman's crap on it such as a folder called 'kiosk' which is in the user folder and contains files with names to long to delete. The most annoying thing is that despite me renaming the laptop and making every effort to remove the old files, the default user is still called 'Harvey Norman' and hence all software and programs come under this name (I can't alter the folder name through properties as it is greyed out) I also have heaps of 'ghost' folders in the C drive (windows drive) and in the harvey norman folders and its really annoying as some of them are links to the recycle bin, unaccessable, duplicates or irrelevant *censored* that I don't want on my computer.

So basically I'm just wondering if there's a way I can restore my laptop to pre-harvey norman and not STUFF anything up too much. I have copies of my important files and I've only installed like anti virus software, ITUNES, office and a few apps.

Please help, its really annoying First thing is to locate the Product Key and the Recovery partition.
Is there a DVD to install the Operating system again?

Log into the laptop using the administrator account. Then create a new user name with administer level authority.
User accounts do seldom take up a lot of space. If you find photos, documents and other materiel you want, copy then to a public folder. Later you can delete the unwanted user and still have the desirable material in the public area.

The is the general information about how to delete a user acco0t.

Will this effect my program data and files like itunes etc.??just thought id atttach some screeen shots of what my hardrive user folder looks like, the messages i get when trying to access default user and the ghost folders.

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Hi

I have a Lenovo Flex 2 14 laptop and I bought it as the display model and it has heaps of baggage with it like harvey norman user accounts and issues and mess on the hardrive (see attachments). I can't create a new user account because my email address is linked to the account I currently have.

Im running windows 8 and I just want to restore it back to the 'brand new' format/position it would have been in when arriving at the store so I can then just start again.

Thanks

Hi,

I am facing issues with remote access login (VPN). It requires Java, Juniper & Citrix receiver to run. It was working fine till Java updated to v.8.

I am able to login into the URL & even view the applications. But once I click on it, I GET a security warning about the certificate of the url. I select the option to continue but get an error after sometime '[Your security SETTINGS have blocked an application from running due to missing a 'Permissions' manifest attribute in the main jar'. After some online research, I added the URL (not just the main URL but even detailed like www.example.com\abc, etc in the exception list in Java config. But still get the same error. I then uninstalled Java8 & installed Java 7, changed the security settings to medium, added the exceptions, but still get the same message.

I then uninstalled Java & Juniper, installed Java 6, removed all security checks & tried. When I clicked on the application, it started a Juniper client setup install & then got an error 'juniperext.exe is not a legitimate application or plug-in. You are not allowed to install through browser sandbox environment'.

I have tried IE, Chrome & Firefox. IE & Chrome simply KEEP refreshing to the same page whereas Firefox PROVIDES the above mentioned error boxes.

Pop-up blockers are disabled too.

Would appreciate any suggestions on working around this.

Did you already see this?
How do I revert BACK to Java 7 after installing Java 8?
Quote

WORKAROUND

Addressing these cases usually require changes to the application or how it is configured. While waiting for those changes to be made by the application provider, reverting to earlier versions of Java will usually allow the application to continue running. Developers can review the Compatibility Guide for Java 8 for guidance on updating their applications.

Hi -
Now is the time to educate an old man. I have had my computer for SEVERAL years and for what I want I've gotten along OK. However, I have wondered what the extra keys on my keyboard are for. What I am referring to is the extra set of numbers on the left side. If I bought a new keyboard would I get the same thing that I have now or would it only have the main keyboard. I am not talking about a touch screen nor do I want one. Thanks for your help. BobAre you sure they are on the left? Most keyboards have "extra numbers" on the right, which form the "numeric keypad", which is useful for data entry & using an onscreen calculator, especially for people used to using desk calculators, adding machines etc.

Does your keyboard layout look like this?



Salmon Trout -
You are right on the right!! I wasn't paying attention. I could not call up your screen shot of the keyboard. However, thanks for your explanation. BobComputer Keyboard images from Google.

My keyboard is like the middle one in the picture that Geek-9pm was kind enough to show me. My keyboard was made by emachines. I am not planning on buying a new one but was wondering if I could get a simpler one. I have never used the extra keys on this one.
BobYou can get keyboards without a number pad yes, they are known as "tenkeyless" (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Tenkeyless_keyboard). The idea is that it lets you move the mouse closer to where your hands sit on the keyboard. However they are only available as high end premium keyboards and don't come cheap. If your current one works fine, I SEE LITTLE POINT in replacing it just to get rid of the number pad.
This keyboard is very low cost and suitable for seniors.

Some of the above information was about English products. I assume the writer was English.

Hi -
To those who answered, my thanks. The amount of information is amazing. One thing that always impresses me is long distant calls. Some of the above information was about English products. I assume the writer was English. I can remember when long distant calls were extra charge, not free. Bob

What is the route taken from your PC to the Internet, from the time you type in a command/request on your KEYBOARD, and
press the Enter Key, to the point where that command/request reaches its destination on the internet ? Did you search for an answer?
Did you see this?
How Does the Internet Work?

This whitepaper explains the underlying infrastructure and technologies that make the Internet work. It does not go into great depth, but covers enough of each area to give a basic understanding of the concepts involved. For any unanswered questions, a list of resources is provided at the end of the paper. Any comments, suggestions, questions, etc. are encouraged and may be directed to the author ...

So your computer is connected to the Internet and has a unique address. How does it 'talk' to other computers connected to the Internet? An example should serve here: Let's say your IP address is 1.2.3.4 and you want to send a message to the computer 5.6.7.8. The message you want to send is "Hello computer 5.6.7.8!". Obviously, the message must be transmitted over whatever kind of wire connects your computer to the Internet. Let's say you've dialed into your ISP from home and the message must be transmitted over the phone line. Therefore the message must be translated from alphabetic text into electronic signals, transmitted over the Internet, then translated back into alphabetic text. How is this accomplished? Through the use of a protocol stack. Every computer needs one to communicate on the Internet and it is usually built into the computer's operating system (i.e. Windows, UNIX, etc.). The protocol stack used on the Internet is refered to as the TCP/IP protocol stack because of the two major communication PROTOCOLS used. The TCP/IP stack looks like this:

hi guys I'm new to this forum and I just PURCHASED this computer off eBay HOWEVER it needs a memory card a CHARGER and and a hard drive and I need help finding which ones I should buy please contact me with links that I can buy these PARTS from

My wifes OCZ Agility SSD died and I found out when looking it up that the warranty expired in January 2015. So I broke the seal and went in to see if I can locate a cold solder joint etc, and looked up the info on the silk screen that stated HOOF25-NJ and thats when a google search directed me to what looks like strictly confidential info http://www.docin.com/p-86804510.html

That I am assuming is no longer strictly confidential, but still states that it is. Interesting to see that OCZ bought their boards from this manufacturer that also made boards for a few other companies that offer SSD's. Also they have all sorts of info on what changes were made for the revs etc. Although my board was made 2009.02.25 in between some revisions listed at the site.

The nature of the failure of this SSD is a strange one. I think the controller itself is shot. This SSD wont take an OS INSTALL without crashing and when going into drive management with it connected as a slave drive it will detect the SSD and it GETS as far as trying to create a partition and then it stops RESPONDING and goes out to lunch. Also the drive will sometimes show up and other times its missing from drive management, similar to how a failing HDD with a bad controller will go out to lunch and disappear etc.

I saw that OCZ has a firmware update tool and I might try to update the firmware and see what happens. But I decided to open it up first to look for a cold solder joint etc.

Also took a look at the smart data using crystaldiskinfo and it stated 85% healthy although it has 17000 hours on it.

Anyone had any success in fixing a SSD that is out to lunch like this before? Did a firmware update to it correct the problem?Couple of things to try - firmware update, a secure erase, and the power trick.
To clarify, the secure erase function is built into the drive, I FIND the simplest way is to use the UBCD to boot into Parted Magic and run it from there. There's a shortcut which is named, oddly enough, erase drive, and it's the top option IIRC (don't do the enhanced secure erase if it's offered).
The "power trick" is quite simply, connect the drive to power only, either in its own system or in a system you're using, and just let it sit for a few hours. This lets the drive do any garbage collection and maintenance routines whilst the controller is totally idle. It's not a cure-all by any means and is often suggested as a miracle fix which isn't the case, but it won't do any harm and is always worth a shot with any SSD behaving strangely before binning or returning it if under warranty.

None of the SSDs I've had which have started behaving oddly have ever been fixable and have all been either binned or RMA'd but that's not to say yours won't be fixable - just that I wouldn't bank on it. I suspect you're right in thinking the controller is faulty as that's usually the case when SSDs go faulty as opposed to issues with the flash memory or a solder joint.Thanks for info Calum... I havent tried the power only trick. I have a USB drive dock / stand alone duplicator that I can place it into and have it POWERED to the side without communication to it and try the garbage clean up if the controller still functions enough for this.

So far I tried using OCZToolbox and it wont detect the drive, yet the drive is seen in Disk Management and stays there until I initialize the drive and try to create a partition in which it then disconnects from the system and wont reconnect until a power cycle of the SSD.

Tried to create a partition that was much smaller ( 10MB ) than the maximum capacity to see if it will allocate a small area which if it was successful would indicate a healthy controller but possibly a bad chip that isnt addressed under the smaller size allocation of memory addresses of the NAND flash. But it also fails trying to make a 10MB partition.

Pictures attached show in first image drive requires initialization. Then Pic 2 its initialized. Then Pic 3 is the crash condition that I get with this SSD after about 3 minutes of a Windows 7 cartwheel ring.

I have doubts that I am going to be able to unbrick this SSD, but am going to have it powered offline for a few hours and see what happens.

Done some further google searches and found something that may have caused the drive to crash. Some people reported that using Windows 7 Sleep Mode with these OCZ drives has been known to destroy them. And I implemented Sleep mode to my wifes power management about a month before it died. Something to do with the controller not liking sleep mode. So I think I killed it by using Sleep Mode with this SSD

I recently bought a new computer and built it myself. I do not have an operative system YET, so i need to get into BIOS to install it. I've tried every f-button, del, esc and every combination i can find on the internet. The problem seem to be that the keyboard and mouse can communicate with the motherboard or so. Both of them is GETTING power, but it wont work. I do not have a Serial port CONNECTER (COM?), do i need it to be able to communicate? Both keyboard and mouse is USB.Does your DIY have a sound maker? The thing that beeps when something goes very WRONG. Does it ever beep?
Don''t use the mouse. Unplug it Don't use any other USB thing.

Do you get video?
Hart sequence do you see on the three keyboard LEDs?

Have you built before?





How do you know the PC is even working?
You don't install an OS from the BIOS...
Make sure BIOS is set to support Legacy devices and press F10 to save changes and exit...
