Help with thousands of colors
by Guest shanklinkm- 0 replies
- 230 views
I am trying to run an older game on my laptop, but it keeps asking me to set my monitor to thousands of colors. I have tried several ways to get this to work, but nothing has helped so far. I am running Windows 8 and have an approximately two year old Asus laptop. After some research, I believe that my problem lies with the newer operating system/graphics card, which refuse to support older graphics. If there is some sort of patch, update, or download that would help, I would appreciate it. Thanks! Continue reading...

Windows 7 Network Profile problems
by Guest AlexJames_952- 0 replies
- 248 views
I changed the password on my wireless router. Using Manage wireless networks I right click on the only Network profile there and change the password in the security tab. My PC now connects to the router successfully. However, when I start up the next day, the password in the network profile has reverted to the old password. I have extensively reviewed all the instructions on the Microsoft site and done the following: 1. Manage Wireless Networks, right click, Remove profile. List of profiles is now empty, then after a few seconds, the old profile reappears with old password. 2. In Manage Wireless Networks, create additional profile, so I have new profile with co…

My computer updated itself the night before last, well it was the 15th of May according to the updates. When I woke up, my computer was sitting at the login screen. I logged on, and received messages: "Windows doesnt know where to find program needed to run this______" and gave me option to search for it. Somewhere......I clicked on Chrome as an option (I had JUST woken up!!!!). Apparently there were quite a few programs I used often that needed my interaction in order for me to go back to using them. Actually I believe it is any executable file on the computer. By the way. My computer DID have an antivirus installe. Thats gone now. I downloade…

Last night, my computer was working just fine. I have an acer laptop with windows 8. Then, this morning, I was attempting to watch a youtube video, when the page sent me to this weird "google syndicate" thing, saying that there was an error. It asked if I wanted to fix the problem (I know this wasn't a hacker or something, it was my computer asking), so I clicked "fix the problem", it thought for a little bit, and then it said there was no problem. So I tried to load the video again and it did and said the exact same thing. Then, I tried to get on to facebook and it didn't work either. Then I went to my system settings and did all of those troubleshoot things, but t…

But, full scans are taking VERY long. I have not been able to complete a full scan. Defender is taking about 5 hours to scan about 50,000 items. What could be wrong? <Moved from windows 8.1/security,privacy> Continue reading...

vitamin d.exe
by Guest lemonglacier- 0 replies
- 243 views
There is a listing for a download title of Vitamin D.exe and when it was downloaded, I was unaware that it was attacking/hacking/destroying/compromising my software programs in WIN8. Since that time, 6 May 2014, I have not been able to download updates for several programs, one such program is Adobe or the Microsoft Office. The Vitamin D.exe file is not listed in the programs to be uninstalled. Is this a harmful exe or can it just be deleted without having to uninstall it? I also cannot install/turn on/use/update WINDOWS DEFENDER. There are many more issues, but I can only remember them as I run across them. What is the problem and how do I fix these problems? Con…

Hello guys, I'm running RHEL on a Cisco UCS system provided by four CPU sockets but with only two CPUs filled in (so two CPU sockets are empty). I'd like to upgrade my system adding two other CPUs (of the same type). Do I need to reinstall the OS after the upgrade or RHEL will seamlessly manage the new CPUs? Has anyone experience on this? Thanks a lot! PS: RHEL is installed on the bare metal (no virtualisation hypervisor). Continue reading...

Recommend me some good rolling release distros

Hi. I'm new to the site. I've been dabbling in linux for a while. I started my journey into linux using Ubuntu 12.04 I believe? Loved it a lot. But then I decided to try out different distros like Elementary OS, Antergos, Manjaro, Linux mint, etc. I find myself kinda stuck at the moment. I'm looking for a new distro to try out. Preferably rolling release if possible. Lately I've been trying out different Debian-based distros. I really like Semplice out of most of them I've tried. Makulu is another one that is also great. Here's what I'm looking for Stable/rolling release Up to date software Easy to use/beginner friendly Has a similar look/feel to LMDE Continue…

kernel ata errors

I've got a raid array, I'm not getting any raid errors, but I'm getting some errors in /var/log/messages (fedora) that appear to be disk/controller related. Most of the errors don't indicate a specific drive, but occaisionally indicate sdd. Can anyone give me some more specific on the errors? I am thinking I'll fault/remove/replace sdd and see if the errors go away. Still, strange to me raid doesn't fault/remove the drive automatically, no? Errors below. Thanks for any advice. - Mike use=00000084 pp_flags=00000001, dev error, EDMA self-disable May 15 21:25:22 ash kernel: [125334.509114] ata5.00: failed command: READ DMA May 15 21:25:22 ash kernel: [125334.516975] ata…
