About 2 hours, I received a phone call from tring 'Windows' (toranto, canada) to instruct me on how I can erase mistakes, since when ms does call on the phone without an e-mail first

a speaker of bad engilish was tring to get me to sign in and follow the direction to clear the errors on the Solution Explorer, never happen since then that we ran with a 286 back

It's a scam.  I'm glad you don't fall for it.

  • Portege M400: Is it possible to receive and make calls with the SIM card

    Is it possible to receive and make calls with the card SIM module in the Portege M400?

    I know that you can send and receive sms messeges, which, according to me, the software is not all good because you can't hold much, and you can't send to ems or mms.

    But there may be other software here?

    Hello

    What software do you mean exactly?

    As far as I know that the MobiLink was preinstalled on some units Portege M400.
    This software supports these features:
    Send and receive SMS, composition and read TEXT messages in several languages, compose and send to multiple recipients, the mobile contacts address book support, Rich edit for the launch of URL and Email using embedded addresses.

    As you can see that you can not use this software to make calls!
    And unfortunately other software does not know me :(

  • I have an email in my outlook express (BOX SENT) that I can't remove. When I try it freezes the computer. It is an e-mail that I tried to send.

    I have an email in my outlook express (BOX SENT) that I can't remove. When I try it freezes the computer. It was an e-mail I was trying to send

    and it has been sent. Someone knows how to remove it.

    original title: Email in outlook express

    Check for working offline and see if it will delete, or else create a new Outbox and sent items folder.

    Follow these steps for the Outbox, sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create. Just don't touch the problem message so OE will not freeze.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the Outbox.dbx and Sent Items.dbx file and remove them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    To avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • Error message when you try to attach the document to an e-mail message: you don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner of the file... for permission

    I can't attach documents to hotmail or my e-mail from work using Firefox. I have not tried another such search engine as suggested in other posts with similar but different questions. Yesterday a pop-up asked me permission for Firefox to access my documents and clicked on 'no '. I had never seen this pop-up request before if I didn't take the risk that it be a virus. A month ago I was able to attach documents to my email.

    Using Windows Explorer, I moved my documents from the folder 'libraries' to 'myfolder' under computer. Not sure if they had moved or if it was just a temporary solution of fluke, but I could send my documents successfully. There was malware that has been found through one of the links provided by an answering machine, but even if the malware has been removed, the issue has not been resolved.

    Thanks to the two people who responded.

    I have my having problems with my Apple Watch and the battery, it lasts only about 10 hours a day, it changed to recentlay don't know why to see screenshot.

    Hello

    Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.

    During tests, for example, Apple has reached 18 hours of battery life with the next use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of usage of the app and a workout of 30 minutes with Apple Watch Bluetooth music playback. Other examples of the life of the battery when using different are available here:

    If your watch is shorter battery life than would suggest examples of Apple that you should expect, try the following steps, which have helped to solve the problems of the battery life for some users:

    • If you have ever used the soft training and/or any third party fitness tracking workouts Records (for example, Strava) apps on your watch, check on your watch to see if there is currently activity paused in the any of these applications. If there is, put an end to this activity of this application on your watch (not on your iPhone).
    • Under earlier versions of the software, some users have reported problems with battery life in the framework using profiles and/or Exchange calendars. If you use an Exchange calendar, can help to one or more of the following:
      • Check your Exchange calendar for all items before today.
      • Delete / delete all old messages related to the prompt calendar Inbox (accept and refuse notifications).
      • Create a rule in your email account Outlook moves future all accept and reject responses as they are received, in a separate e-mail folder that will not sync with your iPhone and Apple Watch.
      • Consult your Exchange calendar to find errors.
    • Finally, it can help to remove all third-party applications on your watch and then monitor the performance of the battery after you have added back, one at a time. It is the same regarding complications of watch face.

    After trying the above steps, if your watch continues discover much shorter battery life than suggest examples of Apple you should expect, contact Apple support (mail service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation in order to have your watch checked, if recommended by Apple (warranty, if it qualifies):

    To check your warranty status (the serial number is on the back of your watch):

  • If I synchronize Firefox on my iPhone, can I remove bookmarks on the phone without deleting them from the computer at home?

    I don't want a large number of bookmarks 'House' on my phone. Can you separate the two?

    Hello

    You can't separate them, but you can remove them in Firefox Home without removing them from your computer at home.

    Firefox Home is just a customer and any changes it does not affect the rest of the devices.

  • Received a phone call about Microsoft Security Essentals scam

    I got caught in this scam. I received a phone call and allowed access and paid by credit card for the technician assumed to install at a price of 210 euros microsoft security essentials software and another program called registry reviver.

    I was taken because my laptop was able to test reports errors and at times he would go blue and then to restart and so I fell for the scam. They were very professional and answered all quries that I had.

    Please tell what should I do now and what they might do with my information.

    In my opinion, I had to cancel the credit card used to make the purchase and see if you can return that money to the CC company. Then I would run a full scan using Microsoft Malware removal tool.

    I hope this helps.

  • Call phone-received a phone call from a technician who said my system was sending error reports

    Today, I received a phone call from an Indian man who claims to be a technician. He said that my laptop has been sending error reports for the last 3 months. I had to call b - s because I had just my cell phone last month and it worked perfectly fine. He said that he was with universal Tech Support and when I asked him if he works with Microsoft somehow he said that his company works with Microsoft. I was really curious so I let the call and he told me to go to ammyy.com and run the software. I did and I let him have some light control on my laptop and I noticed that it wasn't really something that just move the mouse around the screen and he was not clicking on anything. He then said that my uTorrent was the question and I still called b - s. I installed it there, but I still have to download torrents. He said that my laptop has 4000 + error messages and they have been displayed on my screen. He decided to transfer me to his manager and that's when I hung up and restarted my laptop and run a full scan once more. What caught my attention, he was actually the registration # from my laptop and he repeated to me. The first time, they called the caller ID said "unknown name, unknown number." The second time they called a number actually popped up. (516-515-7279), I decided to give the number a call, and I didn't get any answer. I searched all over the internet and Ammyy scams pop up but all scammers are pretending be Microsoft certified technicians and I heard again scammers claim that they work with universal Tech Support. Now, I'm very curious to know whether or not Microsoft is doing a collaboration with this company.

    Hello NahDeeUhh,

    That's all just a scam

    Your PC regularly send error reports to Microsoft. This helps Microsoft determine what issues affect most users. During the transfer of these technical error reports information are transferred between your computer and the Microsoft server. NO personal data are transferred, so ask yourself "How did get my information?

    Any company (or individual) can get a database of potential customers, providing that they are willing to pay for this information. It may just be a voters list that could include your address and telephone number. Whatever list it's this list gives this company/individual details that they need to cold call you.

    Unless you have a contract to support prepaid with Microsoft, then Microsoft 'never' will call you about a problem with your machine. Yes there are Microsoft Certified Software engineers out there, but they do not work to make them work for companies that are independent of Microsoft.

    If you receive a similar appeal to new everything simply replace the telephone receiver and have no more to do with the appellant. Under no circumstances should allow you remote access to your PC. This is fatal. All they are after is your personal data such as password, coordinated and banking passwords etc.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Make/receive phone calls via the software modem?

    It is usually possible to make and receive calls through a PC modem such as the software modem for satellite P25 series?
    I need any additional software to do this? (this is not about VOIP).

    Hello

    I'm not sure what you mean exactly. You want to make a phone call over the internet?
    I put t know which device you have, but I think that it s must support a modem.
    You can use this modem to connect to the internet, but believe me; the modem connection is not very fast and the transfer of data has for a long time.

    I think the phone call over the internet is a very good idea but only if someone has a lump and a broadband connection.

    In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
    If you leave them in your computer, who knows what they were doing or where
    What confidential information they stole.

    So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
    immediately:

    1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

    2. after reinstallation of Windows, change all your passwords.
    especially the banks or other

    Since they have perhaps installed a recorder of strikes, changing just your
