Solve : No "Device ready to Eject" Message Cloud? |
|
Answer» This really isn't a big deal but....when I eject a USB device I get the "ok to eject icon" but I do not get the written message in a cloud. My SIL's rig runs the same Win 7 OS and she gets a neat LITTLE written message in a cloud telling you it is ok to eject. I would like to have this message show on my rig but I can not figure out how to do it. Any SUGGESTIONS? Thanks. Perhaps she's running a Theme...Quote from: PATIO on April 25, 2015, 02:34:41 PM Perhaps she's running a Theme... What does that mean? I looked at the themes shown in the Control Panel and I can not a connection between theme options and the "ready to eject message". Ask her if she is...Quote from: patio on April 25, 2015, 02:59:18 PM Ask her if she is... Sorry, but the only thing she can tell me is if her PC is plugged in. I did find the ANSWER though. Looks like I will have to make a change to the registry which I am not going to bother doing. My version of Win 7 does not have the option to EDIT Local Group Policy but neither does my SIL's. Go figure. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11442-notifications-enable-disable-message-balloons.htmlRun the download listed...Quote from: patio on April 25, 2015, 03:11:11 PM Run the download listed... Thanks but I do not have enough confidence to do this. Maybe if it were something really important but not just to get the message bubble. Too afraid I will muck something up and not be able to back. |

Solve : Sony vaio laptop hard drive failure? |
|
Answer» Hard drive failed. I purchased new hard drive and installed. How do I make this computer alive? Thank YOUYOU will need to install your OS. I hope you have the disk.I believe OS was in the hard drive. So, I need to buy window 7 and install it? Or Sony vaio company could provide the OS oruginally installed on it? If I buy window 7, could I install it in several computer? Because I have a desk computer which need upgrade (window VISTA installed)These questions are often asked. Microsoft, the maker of Windows, sells a license to run Windows on just one computer. Volume pricing is only for very large antiquates for one company. When anyone first uses a new computer, he should make a backup copy of the OS for use in case of a failure. If the computer is still under warranty, the computer maker should replace both the hard drive and the Operating System. Can you locate the the Product Key for the computer? Here is what a product key might look like: http://panam.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/7515086/7515086mvr12.shtml Can you find it? A) HDD's do not ship with an OS installed... B) If the PC has a COA sticker on it you can DLoad and re-install 7 for no charge... C) You cannot buy Win7 and install it on more than 1 PC unless you buy a volume package...Geek-9pm Yes, I located product key. However the computer is out of warranty. Hi Patio, What is COA ? Please, see photo below. [attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]COA means the PC has a legit Windows liscense...i don't see that in your pic...The COA could be on a sticker somewhere else on your computer.Look for Windows COA inside battery compartment.COA = Certificate of Authenticity. Quote from: hansoldc on February 20, 2015, 01:23:33 PM Or Sony vaio company could provide the OS oruginally installed on it?They PROBABLY can provide that; most PC manufacturers do so. They may charge a small fee but it will be much less than the cost of buying Windows on the retail market. They would need to know the model # and serial # for your computer. I myself didn't experience any problems with my last TWO laptops (both from Sony). I hope things worked out for you.Ummm...he hasn't been back since February... Please remove the link in your Sic... |

Solve : microsoft silverlight? |
|
Answer» Not even sure if this is the right place, it might not be a computer issue, but rather a website issue. When I went to discovercard.com to PAY a bill, a window popup for Microsoft Silverlight asking to allow it permission to CHANGE (or something like that), but it wont let me click allow or not allow. It simply freezes the page, so I have to go through TASK manager and close the window. All the other pages I visit are just fine. So I don't know if this is something I need to do internally or if it's the website (discover) which has the problem? any thoughts? thanksI can't make sense of your post since https://www.discover.com/ (discovercard.com) does not use Silverlight. Do you visit sites that actually use Silverlight? If not, then I suggest you uninstall it. thanks, I don't know if I use sights with Silverlight or not, when I tried to log in that's when it popped up and froze everything. So I think uninstall is a good option. Appreciate the answer. Thanks againIf you encounter a website that uses it, you'll be alerted that Silverlight is required to view certain content on the page and you could reinstall it if necessary. Silverlight was Microsoft's attempt to make inroads against Adobe's Flash but it never gained WIDE acceptance among web developers. The only web pages I've encountered for the LAST 2 years or so that used it, as I recall, were some Microsoft pages. Thanks for the tips, I uninstalled it, no more problems. feel free to close. |

Solve : How do I flip my computer display so it's mirrored?? |
|
Answer» Quote from: thehandyman on January 03, 2012, 04:57:44 PM Quote from: Salmon Trout on January 03, 2012, 03:40:12 PMQuote from: Techman113 on January 04, 2012, 04:25:31 PM why cant you just go into control panel That just rotates it 180 degrees so it's upside down. That's a function for projectors that are mounted upside down on a ceiling. What he wants to do is have the image reverse horizontally so it looks backward when you look at the screen, but forward when looking in a mirror. Fun fact: This is a common practice on OLDER and larger upright arcade arcade cabinets. An out-of-sight TV screen with a reverse image is facing upward reflecting off of a mirror where the player sees it from. This gives the cabinet a lower center of gravity so the machine can't be tipped over as easily. It also adds more depth to the player view.The download link for the software in not working. I was wondering if anyone has this file (pvcmirror.exe) to share. I know this thread is a little bit outdated, if the sharing of this utility is not possible are there any software with similar function that is currently available for download. Hoping for a quick response. Thanks.Quote from: Salmon Trout on January 03, 2012, 03:40:12 PM Hi Salmon, I have tried to access the link u provided. Bt I guess it is no longer exists. May I know do u still keep the software and could u send it to me if u dont mind. =)Can I get a copy as well? I have been looking for a way to invert the screen for digital signage. I have a hair salon I want to install the screen behind the people getting hair cuts so they can read the screen from looking in the mirror.1. I do not have this software. 2. I do not know where to get it. If using an old CRT monitor, an analog monitor, a technician and swap two fly-back wires s so that the SCAN reversed. EDIT: Google TV mirror image There are LCD monitors for people who want to watch TV in the bath tub. The mirror option lets you see the TV in the bath room mirror. Hey Salmon! I was wondering if you still have that program.... Or anyone else, because i can't find it anywhere now. Please anybody pm me if you can. Thanks, Hoshi.sanQuote from: Salmon Trout on May 24, 2013, 01:54:50 PM 1. I do not have this software.Thanks anyway The reason you would want to mirror your computer monitor is to recreate a mirror effect much like an arcade gaming cabinet, or in my case, to use your laptop monitor display screen as a teleprompter. This program will mirror, Not flip your computers laptop monitor display screen. HMU on FB or instagram. https://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/download.aspNo, it does not do what it says. It MEANS replicate rather than mirror. The Optical mirror action can be done in hardware on analog monitors. You just reverse the vertical and horizontal sweep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVYG3ShP6S4 Please watch and come back here. The Topic is over 2 years old.... |

Solve : 3-inch black band to the left of display on my HP 2159m LCD monitor? |
|
Answer» I downloaded the DRIVER for this monitor but no clue where to make adjustments so the screen display fills the entire screen edge to edge instead of that 3 inches of black to the left. Windows 7, NO IDEA about the other details you ask for. The highest resolution AVAILABLE in my screen options is 1024 x 768 but recommended resolution for this monitor says it should be 1920 x 1080. The hertz matches (60) and it is on 32 bit true setting. Help?? THanks, and can you please email me individually Also there is no category for MONITORS and I WONDER where this inquiry should be placed other than windows 7? You say 1024 x 768 ? That is terrible. Is this monitor new? Under warranty? |

Solve : Wireless network card drivers not working with win7? |
|
Answer» My computer wouldn't start so I had to replace the motherboard and cpu. But now the wireless network card isn't working. I reinstalled the latest driver from the official website for the model I had and the card still fails to be listed in device manager. Pros: Good price for what you get As seen here at the Aaron R post in which he states ... "Flash Before Using " = BIOS to newest firmware version before using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128072 Hope this helps... it might save you from having to buy a new wireless adapter only having to flash your BIOS to latest edition. Thanks for the responses. You went above and beyond, checking motherboard reviews for me. I really appreciate it, I never thought to do that. I was considering the wireless adapter but I was worried about the range. The router is on the other side of the house and I had to purchase a large antenna to screw into the wireless card in order to receive a reliable connection. I see the option to "qflash" when I boot, is this what I'm looking for? I suppose I need to move the computer over to the router so I can plug in the ethernet and download the update? I ended up getting an adapter and it works well. Thanks again. No problem... Glad your back up and running again. |

Solve : Windows Drive way too much big? |
|
Answer» Hello guys, back after a long time Use disc cleanup - "More Options" button - delete old restore points. That should free up a lot of space. If it does, you can reduce the space allotted to system restore or simply disable system restore and use disc imaging software instead. Also delete all temp files and reduce the space allotted to Temporary Internet Files. System restore is off, i'll use tree size & report back, thanx for your timeHere is the shot after using Tree size Seems like these 2 files are culprit, other all things look fine, Patio what would you suggest as these look system files due to their *.sys formatProblem solved ! with a lil bit help from google The two files CAN be deleted direcltly as administrator One is pagefile.sys , a file in which temporary data is stored when ram isnt available It can be deleted by My computer > properties > Advanced system settings > advanced (tab) > performance (settings button) > advanced > virtual memory > no paging file & press the set button followed by YES to all queries ...restart & windows will delete the pagefile.sys automatically Hiberfile.sys is related to hibernation Disable hibernation by running cmd prompt as admin & type Powercfg.exe -h off Restart & the file will be deleted Hope this will help future readersQuote from: JoeKkerr on May 10, 2015, 05:13:15 AM [...]pagefile.sys , a file in which temporary data is stored when ram isnt available You can delete the page file, sure, but running Windows without one can lead to weird crashes; even with large amounts of RAM a small page file is STILL a good idea. If you absolutely must have such a tiny system disk, you can simply move the page file to the other disk that has more space. There are plenty of places on the web showing how to do this; simply Google for "move Windows xx page file to another drive" where xx is your Windows version. Don't delete pagefile.sys (it will only be recreated at the next boot), just set the maximum size to a more realistic number (1 or 2 Gb) or set it to "windows managed". As for hiberfil.sys, just disable hibernation.Quote from: SALMON Trout on May 10, 2015, 06:35:42 AM You can delete the page file, sure, but running Windows without one can lead to weird crashes; even with large amounts of RAM a small page file is still a good idea.

There are plenty of places on the web showing how to do this; simply Google for "move Windows xx page file to another drive" where xx is your Windows version. Thank you sir,didnt knew that ! umm , even after disabling the paging ? will it be created again Yes....Quote from: patio on May 11, 2015, 06:10:30 AM Yes....If you go into your virtual memory settings and set the paging file to "none" for all drives then it won't be recreated. As I said before, you can get weird problems with no page file. When certain applications start, they allocate a huge amount of memory (hundreds of megabytes typically set aside in virtual memory) even though they might not use it. If no page file (i.e., virtual memory) is present, a memory-hogging application can quickly use a large chunk of RAM. Even worse, just a few such programs can bring a machine loaded with memory to a halt. Some applications (e.g., Adobe Photoshop) will display warnings on startup if no page file is present. For this reason, people with large amounts of RAM, like 16 GB or more, leave a small page file of 512 MB rather than TURN it off altogether. Best to leave it alone as "system managed" on the disk with most space. |

Solve : 2 copies of Windows 7 on one PC? |

Answer» Maybe in a week or so there will be some way to clarify this question. ...we shooed see proof when the RTM comes out...Actually, the RTM is out, 10240 released on 7/16. I downloaded it to one computer, then used the ESD file to create the ISO file & then a bootable flash drive to install it on the others.Computer_Commando, Thanks. That is news. Windows 10 upgrade and installation FAQ. Quote We figured out who pays and who doesn't-from Windows Super Site today. Not that I am suggesting anyone do this , but what would actually happen in a pc if you tried to install two copies of windows under one license, ie technically illegally? I was wondering how anyone would know if you has broken the licence terms an if so what would happen on the computer. Don't worry I am not going to try it, I am just curious!Well, I have tried it a number of times. Microsoft will allow 30 for you to validate your license, which gives you lots of time to experiment. In what region do you live? Reportedly MS has crashed some users on other parts of the world where legal recourse is weak. Quote from: Geek-9pm on July 29, 2015, 10:52:16 AM Well, I have tried it a number of times. Microsoft will allow 30 for you to validate your license, which gives you lots of time to experiment. UK. Not going to try it. Don't want to rock the boat. Have dismissed dual boot idea. Will try 10 on my Backup laptop and try it out before putting it on my main machine. One more thing. I mentioned running live CD downloads of Linux OS s from dvd-r to try them out. Can I do this with either of the windows OS s so that I can still use it without installing a second d os on the HDD? Quote from: richardf77 on July 29, 2015, 01:15:51 PM ...Live CD boots from the CD & installs nothing unless you tell it to.Don't' give up. The image is from the HowToGeek site. Quote You probably shouldn’t install Windows 10 on your primary PC. But, if you are going to, you should at least install it in a dual-boot configuration. You can then reboot to switch between your installed versions of Windows.http://www.howtogeek.com/197647/how-to-dual-boot-windows-10-with-windows-7-or-8/ I am going t o try and duplicate this. I think i have seen this before. Might be what gave me the idea for dual boot in the first place. Thanks for sharing it though. Still dont see how it gets around the license problem. You will still have two copies of windows on one machine and only one license. Or am i misunderstanding? Does this version of 10 not need a license?Quote from: richardf77 on July 30, 2015, 02:50:48 AM Still dont see how it gets around the license problem. You will still have two copies of windows on one machine and only one license. Or am i misunderstanding? Does this version of 10 not need a license? One can find a ton of articles that don't consider that what they advise may violate EULAs. Realistically, I'd personally not care if somebody was using a pirated copy even. It's more a case of liability for the site (and arguably, myself) since offering advice/information that would help people violate the EULA can be problematic. Arguably a lot of stuff can be used maliciously or for those sorts of purposes so it's something of a gray area, but that's a whole different bag of gophers.Yesterday I put two installs of Windows 7 home. Actually, not two copies. In installed one copy, And then installed another copy. I have two licenses and two different versions of Windows 7 home. Windows did a multi boot install fro the second one. The boot menu says: windows 7 windows 7 Later I validated the second install. After that, I did Windows 10 as an upgrade to Windows 7. The installer found the right one and installed Windows 10. I now have both Windows 7 and the new Windows 10 on the boot menu. But I have not yet tried to instill Windows 7 from just one CD and one COA and try multi boot. If multi-boot does harm to Microsoft, why have they not said something more explicit? And how would it harm them? Quote from: Geek-9pm on July 30, 2015, 10:17:47 PM Yesterday I put two installs of Windows 7 home. Actually, not two copies. In installed one copy, And then installed another copy. I have two licenses and two different versions of Windows 7 home. Multiple booting scenarios are fine but if you have one copy/license of Windows 7, and want to try Windows 10, you won't be able (under the EULA) to have a dual boot between Windows 10 and Windows 7, for the same reason you cannot upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 and then install that copy of Windows 7 somewhere else. If you have multiple licenses for WIN7 it's fine. And again this about what you are able to do while being above-board with regards to the EULA. Whether it is possible despite that is another question.We can agree. A user with one COA {license} for Windows 7 gets a free upgrade to Windows 10 and nothing more. The original Windows 7 DVD can not be used again. {Exception is maybe a huge system crash.} Some sites are saying you can have both you Windows 7 and a version of Windows 10. But I believe this means a limited version for a limited time for evaluation by an enterprise. That is not the same as the full Windows 10. I plan to see if I can get an evaluation version for some testing. I will use ether another DESKTOP or a fresh formatted hard drive. BTW: The updates for an early version of Windows 7 are about 180 things and it takes hours. |

Solve : How to put Windows 7 on a new hard drive, and it be genuine?? |
|
Answer» So my computer currently has a 600GB hdd with Windows 7 on it. I just bought a new 240GB SSD that is now on it's way. My question is what is the best way to get genuine Windows 7 back on there? Yes, I know a lot of people would say get a cracked copy from the internet, but I honestly don't want to do that. Do you have the Win 7 install disk? If so, you should be able to use it to do a clean install of Win 7 to the ssd and use the key to activate it. Should be legit.Quote from: strollin on May 20, 2015, 08:00:12 AM Do you have the Win 7 install disk? If so, you should be able to use it to do a clean install of Win 7 to the ssd and use the key to activate it. Changing out the boot drive is OK, it's when you do something like change out the motherboard that you will have problems reusing the key.No, I don't have the Win 7 install disk. So if I was to get a Windows 7 Home Premium disk I could do a fresh install from that, put my key in and then be able to activate it resulting in Genuine Windows? Quote from: DaveLembke on May 20, 2015, 08:19:31 AM What is make/model of the computer and have you created the system recovery media set yet which most off the shelf computers come with? If you havent created this yet you should get like two 8GB Flash Drives ready or ability to burn about 4 DVD-R's with the recovery media. In your system usually under the manufacturer name in Program Files etc such as Toshiba, Dell, eMachine, HP, etc you should find a tools, utilities, or other option to create the system restore or recovery media. Some systems its a 1 time shot where you can only create the set 1 time and then your in trouble if you created it but lost the media that was created. Some warn you not to make extras of them but they allow you to do so such as my Toshiba Netbook that I lost 1 of 2 USB sticks with the recovery media, it allowed me to create a new set and just warned me that your only suppose to do this once even though it was my 2nd time running that media creation utility and the media worked to perform the 160GB 5400RPM HDD to 120GB SSD upgrade.It's a Toshiba L655D laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium. I don't have the recovery IMAGE from when the system was purchased (because I bought this PC from a friend) and I'm not sure how much point there is in doing it now since the system is messed up. I have a recovery partition, but I don't know if it's actually possible to reinstall Windows from that.Toshiba will sell you the factory restore CD;s which will take it back to Day 1 condition for a minimal price + shipping... I suggest you contact them... |

Solve : Endless BSOD? |

Answer» Hey everyone, So quite recently my computer decided to go on the fritz and start Blue screen of deathing me. Initial research lead me to believe it was driver related so i went through and updated everything i could possibly find and the issue persisted so i decided to start fresh so i wiped everything and reinstalled windows. Cleared partition and installed brand new. Less than a day later this issues continued and have been worse than ever. I'm currently running windows home premium 64-bit, 12GB of RAM AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80GHZ processor. I built it like 5 years ago and has always done me good. I've done as much troubleshooting than i can figure out, updating drivers, Diagnostics on Hard-drive, ran every test windows could offer but everything continues. Some things POINT to my RAM but having issues isolating that down, other than that im not sure how to proceed. |

Solve : IE 11 and Radarbox24.com? |
|
Answer» I'm having a problem using Internet Explorer 11 and the flight tracking site radarbox24.com on one of my PC's, using Windows 7. When I try to use COCKPIT View, I get a message "ERROR Constructing CesiumWidget". My other PC's work fine with this site. I've ATTACHED a screenshot. Any ideas? Cesium runs fine on IE 11, but it is a LITTLE more finicky when it comes to video card/drivers support. Visit the vendor website and upgrade them to the LATEST official version and that will hopefully do the trick for you. You need latest video card drivers maybe... https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cesium-dev/oQdCfi40bdo |

Solve : windows 7, harddrive partition issues? |
|
Answer» first off i apologize if this is in the wrong place or if i missed a forum already on this, i didnt see anything on partitions. it seems that all of my old partitions are now gone. i didn't think much of this i just went ahead and looked into reallocating them. but when i try to re-partition them it will not let me do this. the option to create a partition for these unallocated slots is not appearing.Can' make much sense of this; it really needs some clarification. You say your old partitions are gone but then you seem to say you went ahead and tried to work with them; your comments seem contradictory. IE...i screwed the pooch on my new install...what now ? ? Seperate partitions only get wonked by User error... |

Solve : Please help me with my boot system problem windows vista endless loop? |

Answer» You should be able to replace that CD Rom with a newer DVD ROM DRIVE for around $20 assuming you have a SATA port AVAILABLE. If you need a IDE TYPE ribbon CABLE type drive then you would probably be looking at buying a used one on amazon or ebay or maybe someone you know has a old computer they no longer need that you can part out and grab and use their CD or DVD ROM from with correct jumper config for CS, MA, or SL |
