Lost Drive Recovery
by Guest BDSarge- 0 replies
- 502 views
I was running my computer on Windows XP. One day my computer was downloading a security update for windows when we had a power failure. When the power returned, I found that I could not access my computer at all. I bought a new computer and loaded it with Windows 7. My question is: Is it possible to use an undelete program to restore my old hard drive to it's original condition ? I understand that not everything can be restored, but I would like to know how to restore the hard drive with all the programs, etc to include the key registry, to the greatest extent possible. The undelete program has done nothing but undelete pictures, movies, Microsoft Office file…

I have just bought a Sony DR-BTN200 headphone but apparently my computer cannot detect the device. The headphone connects perfectly fine with my Iphone 4S but not the computer. I also tried to connect my Iphone 4S with the computer and again, the computer could not detect it. I looked at my Device manager and found on bluetooth section: "Intel® Centrino® Wireless Bluetooth® 3.0 + high speed Adapter" and "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator". Both are up to date. Sharing is on and bluetooth is on, yet my computer cannot detect anything. My computer is Dell Inspiron N311z. My OS is Windows 8 pro 32-bit (6.2, Build 9200). Please Help! I am really…

ie-11 in quarantine by sophos, all efforts fail to get it working
by Guest chris_0001- 0 replies
- 1.5k views
Installed IE-11 in Windows 7 to avoid the heart-bleed problem. Then IE-11 was placed into quarantine by the Sophos endpoint protection software. I thought I was taking it out of quarantine as a normal user and inadvertently removed it from the list of quarantined items. Apparently, a normal user cannot take a program out of quarantine. Now, there’s no way to put the IE-11 back into the list of quarantined items, even as administrator, and thus cannot be taken out of quarantine. Uninstalled Sophos to resolve the issue, but IE-11 still appears to be in quarantine. Sophos is unable or unwilling to help as though the solution will reveal a sensitive secret. Local IT de…

Cannot "Edit" an html file
by Guest BBS, Inc. - CA- 0 replies
- 335 views
We are a small business with about 20 computers on our network. We have one particular file which is saved as a ".htm" extension. The source is from Excel. On one of our computers (using Windows 7), we are able to right-click on the file and select "Edit" and this will open the .htm file in Excel. On another computer (also using Windows 7), we do not have the capability to right-click on the file and select "Edit". I believe we only have access to "Open With" and in this subcategory, our only options are for Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, and Notepad. We've spent about 15 minutes comparing the properties of the Folder…

I have down loaded WD Beta to a flash drive, cd and neither will do what it says it will do! According to the instructions once you have loaded the software; either by flash drive or cd, put the item into either the cd drive or usb for flash drive, restart the computer and it will run from there. NOT I keep getting an annoying item CPVRDR accessing my internet connection re-directing me to another site. I have tried Windows Defender, Spidre, AVG etc; to no avail. I saw about the Beta and said YES, but that lasted 2 seconds because it will not do what it says it will do. I have tried to change the boot, to no success and at the point of pulling out what litt…

Simply question, gentlemen: is the Palm Professional compatible with Mac Maverick? Can you download the appropriate software, and if so, where? (If you're wondering why I don't get a smart phone, it's simply because I don't need one or use one. I have a free cell for people who hardly ever use their phone.) Thanks!

Parallel programming
by Guest ChukerSweet- 0 replies
- 319 views
Hi guys! Small question here. What's the point o parallel programming (let's say openMPI ) when restrain to a single computer. I have to perform some simulations that use a considerable amount of memory ( handleable anyways just ain't small ) but it does takes allot of time to run. The program itself is already optimized and written in C++. The thing is that I don't get the point of parallel programming if I'm going to use only mi PC ( intel i5 ), and specially if the main issue is not "hard" memory but rather RAM memory ( if I'm getting the picture correctly ) Could someone clarify plz? Thx in advance. Continue reading...

There's a shell script for firefox for this purpose but there's no workaround within the system. Caffeine doesn't work the last time I tested it. Continue reading...
