XP taskbar keeps popping up.
by Guest drubosney- 0 replies
- 269 views
I maintain point of sale systems for a local restaurant chain. They run various versions of Windows and we are gradually updating any running XP to 7 but it's a time consuming process and we are trying to do them in a sensible order. The systems we considered last on the list run a live menu. All they do is display web content from a server on the same LAN with a proprietary browser that is supposed to stay on top of any other windows or dialogs. They have no direct user interaction whatsoever nor do they connect directly to the internet. But lately, and by lately I mean since the XP EOL, the taskbar has been popping up above the bottom edge of the menu. It creates …

How can I access the F drive so that I can retrieve the data on it? Continue reading...

Videos playing too fast
by Guest Trout Bum- 0 replies
- 285 views
I'm suddenly having issues with videos playing too fast. I have done all my recent updates, checked for viruses, checked for new drivers, etc. In both IE 11 and Firefox 29 the videos over the Internet are playing too fast--rapid speed. A DVD also will not play correctly. I've done a complete uninstall of Flash and clean reinstall, without fixing the problems. Also, before this problem began, I have lost the ability to double click with my mouse. I've checked the mouse on other computers and on other usb ports on my computer, but it still does not work. I'm a bit stumped after trying several fixes, troubleshooting procedures, etc. A few other folks have posted a…

My iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) won't connect to my laptop, but it has no problem what-so-ever connecting to any other pc or mac. My laptop(HP notebook) makes that little "hey a usb-thing"-sound, but it doesn't do any of the other things it's supposed to do and my phone doesn't charge. It's NOT the cable, I know that for sure since it charges perfectly in other laptops/pcs/macs + wall. I have tried several usb-ports. I thought it was my iTunes so i uninstalled all apple-programs on my computer and reinstalled, but nothing changed. IT HAS OBVIOUSLY PREVIOUSLY WORKED. I have also restarted my computer a couple of times but it still doesn't work. What do I do? Continue rea…

I upgraded to Windows 7 and am having trouble with a program crashing but it does not show me the error and I can't view any details; it just says it's looking for a solution and never shows an error. In XP it at least showed an error with a button to view details. Right now I don't even know where to start looking for a solution. Is there some way to show these errors with extra info? I don't understand why this was removed from Windows 7. Continue reading...

A bunch of programs (?) keep popping up about "needed updates," "viruses detected, "download" this, "download" that. I "X" them out, but they keep coming back on screen. A few of the names of them are: "My PC Health Kit". "System Optimizer Pro", "iYogi", "CompuClever", "PC Clean Maestro" and others. They all want me to "download" them to fix the 6,000+ (later 500+) problems I SUDDENLY HAVE, which I didn't have a WEEK ago. (That is how long I've been trying to eliminate them. I usually spend over an hour TRYING, then giving up. I do NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO? I raN Microsoft Essentials and it reported "NO PROBLEMS". I am ignorant when it comes to using a compute…

by Guest plate1950- 0 replies
- 263 views
I have been infected with the win32-zbot. It is identified on my computer as C:\Users\mary\AppData\Roaming\Izsiom\bului.exe. I can follow the path to the folder IZSIOM and bului files, but ot delete. I logged on as administrator and took ownership of the object, but still can't remove it. When I look at the Properties of the file the security settings allow total access, but when I highlight it, the "remove" button goes gray so I can't click it. I've granted myself, as administrator, permission to access the file but cannot delete it. When I try, I get a "need permission" message. I don't know how to gain the permission necessary, although I've read all the info on…

Why I don't shop online
by Guest hazel- 0 replies
- 228 views
By now you will all have heard about the breakin at ebay. Although no bank account details were stolen, there was enough information about thousands of people to allow their identities to be spoofed, and if someone can persuade your bank that she is you, she'll soon have your account details too. The whole list is doubtless already up on a sales site on the dark net for every criminal in the world to access. When online commerce is discussed, the emphasis is usually on how safe transactions are because everything is encrypted. Nothing is said about what happens afterwards to the information you have passed across. Of course it ends up on some company server, possibly e…
