Welcoome to my world hahaha and no controls. HELP!!!!!!
by Guest piha010- 0 replies
- 130 views
When I start my computer up I get a mock Windows box saying "Message from Web Page". and "Welcoome To My World And No Controls" If I turn the speakers on, I automatically get a rap song playing in an endless loop, that i cant turn off. It over rides all my other music files. How do I get this song/problem off my conputer? I have run the Microsoft Security Essentials and Safety Scanner from this site, but they dont even detect the problem, let alone remove it. Im just a little concerned that, apart from the annoying rap song, this may be doing something a little more sinister to my computer. Thanks in anticipation piha010 Continue reading...

slow load on internet and navigation
by Guest gailclarke- 0 replies
- 123 views
2 questions: Can I safely remove all the security and other updates to microsoft and norton programs aquired over the years and just leave the most recent ones? Are the most recent updates cumulative of all updates that came before, or do I have to keep all the updates and keep adding to them? I think this may be why I'm having such load time - see Q2. Q2: At any external webpage, the screen freezes, I can't scroll down. After a long time, I may get a message saying that "scripts on this page are causing IE to run slowly". If I try to exit when the page is frozen, I get a "not responding" message with a request to send the error to Microsoft and thanks for doing so, …

Currently, users are logging in to the domain using their domain account. Domain account is of first initial last name format (ie JDoe). I want to change their domain account username to firstname.lastname (John.Doe). What steps do I have to take to have the change over successfully? Besides changing the logon username in ADUC, are there any other fields I would have to change to make sure there is no trace of first initial last name? What about the profiles stored on their Win 7 machines? Continue reading...

Joining a computer to domain - Changing SID?
by Guest Andre Viens- 0 replies
- 230 views
Hello, When our IT staff deploys computers, we generally build a base Windows image, and then create an image (using Ghost). We then deploy this to computers and we join the computer to a domain. Now, I realize this is not a supported practice by Microsoft, but I have seen postings from MS MVP's that the computer SID will change when you add a computer to a domain, and we have not had duplicate SID's utilizing this method before. However, we have just built an image with SP3 and deploying that as we usually have, and figuring the SID has changed upon joining the domain. This has not been happening. We discovered this through our WSUS Server not showing all the ne…

Proofing Tool not working for language pack in office 2010
by Guest jonesfc- 0 replies
- 121 views
I purchased Office Professional Plus 2010 and installed it successfully. I also purchased a language pack for Brazilian Portuguese and installed it with no problem. The language package supposed installed the proofing tool so I would be able to use the spell checker in a document when writing in Portuguese. The problem is that when I open a Word document to set the language of the document to Portuguese under Review>Language>Set Proofing Language I see the option for Portuguese (Brazil) but there is no spell checker next to it, which means I cannot use the spell checker for a document whose language was set to Portuguese. (see image below) When I go to the Review&…
