• Accidentally out Vista

  HP Compaq Presario V6700 Edition Vista Home Premium

  Writing on behalf of the friend who herself accidentally locked out of the computer.   It now won't start at all - she has a black screen after you have pressed the Power button to turn it on.  Tried to open mode safe mode by pressing F8 - no result, the black screen still.

  Someone has ideas how to get this computer operational again?  She received no recovery disk when the computer was purchased again about 14 months ago.

  Thank you

  It is very useful information - thanks a lot.

  Managed to get his computer by doing a hard reset.

  ·           Which type of installation do you have?

• I accidentally locked my computer and I don't remember the passwword: how to solve this problem?

  While exploring my computer backup options, I inadvertently activated the 'blocking of the computer' option in the control panel.  I remember setting up a password, then when I'm prompted to enter a password to unlock, I have'nt a clue.

  How would I go about solving this problem

  Hi bascus8180,

  You can try to do a system restore to a date that precedes the question started by booting from a DVD of Windows 7 and check to see if it helps:

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Also, take a look at the following links:

  Keep secure passwords - Microsoft strategy on move the passwords

  Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords

  I hope this helps.

• Windows error recovery is completely locked (Vista)

  Earlier today, I wanted to install Windows 7 next to Vista so I decided to partition my system. I used the free version of the Paragon partition system. However, he seemed to be taking muuuuch longer that it should have - on the scale of 3 hours and increasing every second. So, I decided to cancel the partition which caused my whole damaged hard disk. Now, whenever I start, I am taken to the Windows error recovery however, and I can't do ANYTHING. I can't move the arrow keys to try to use an old restore point, and I'm just helpless to see the tick of limitation in time down while trying to boot Windows causing just a reboot loop and go to the same screen.

  I can't get into the BIOS and I can't have mode secured by conventional means. I downloaded a file of recovery and I burned it to a dvd. http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/ I do not know if it will work, but since I can't get into the BIOS I can't put my CD/DVD drive as the first when starting up.

  It seems fitting that I have no options here. In addition, I don't have the installation disc more.

  If you can not get into Bios to change the boot order, an installation disc will not help, will it?

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask if you have a recovery Partition.

  It normally takes F10 or F11 to launch it to the market.

  And try Paragon support because your use of it seems to be what started the problem.

  See you soon.

• switch lock to the Scanner 1815dn is STUCK

  I work as a domestic support for my co-op student. We have a printer all-in-one dell 1815 and all that it is old, it works always for exactly what the Office needs

  Somehow in the morning, one of the employees accidentally locked the scanner. It's obvious that the switch is on top of the output tray. We see even the indicator status inside the glass. But for some reason, he's STUCK. We tried to pull, push, but we cannot for the life of understand us why it's not moving. It seems to be a small next to the flag inside the glass locking device, but we cannot get to move the switch manually.

  We tried gently and with force to move the locking switch, but he won't budge no matter how hard we push/pull

  Nobody has solved this issue before? Or rather, does anyone know how to get inside the scanner glass? We understand that this printer is old and no longer covered by any sort of warranty.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  We had a representative from HP to look at our printer while they were in the maintenance of our equipment. You don't have to know that all the switches have a small latch on the inside. All you have to do is use a small screwdriver and pull it down before attempting to pull it back in place... it is she.

  Im sure glad I have not followed your 'advice' to disassemble our entire printer something so simple. Thanks for the support of delay, we will continue our relationship with other companies who have the ability to support both their own products better then "here is a service manual, good luck."

• Missing message window mail and not coming back

  I searched and searched, but can not solve my problem. I accidentally locked my window message in mail - I caught the bar in display classic and smashed down. I want my BACK window, but he refuses to appear. I tried in classic and new points of view. I get the arrow - the one with the line and pointing up when I hover over the divider bar, but it does absolutely nothing. I found a thread on the removal of certain folders in libraries and reboot, nothing helps. Now, I'm looking for an alternative application. El Capitan 10.11.5, 27 "iMac

  

  Hello Melissa,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I know have a problem with the appearance of your mail, it's not what you expect. As I understand it, you can't recover the messages view in Mail after dragging the separator bar all the way to hide the display of messages, and today shows only your message lists. Your screenshot really helped to visualize your question, and good news is that I was able to replicate and solve the problem with the following steps:

  1. go in Mail Mail > Preferences > display and check the box for the classic configuration to use.

  Preferences - help Mail display

  2 close the Mail preferences window. Then click on the bar of separation of the messages at the bottom, as you point your screenshot.

  3. drag the splitter bar to halfway to the top of the screen and hold it there for a few seconds and release the click of the mouse until the messages view appears to the top. You will have to perhaps move the separator bar and go down a bit to get the message of pop display.

• Touchpad stops for a moment on my Satellite Z30 - A - 1 d 0

  Hello

  Earlier this week, I bought Toshiba satellite Z30 - A - 1 d 0.

  My touchpad seemed well, but from time to time the cursor stops working for about 1 minute. I can use the left and right touchpad button, but I can't just move the cursor.

  I first thought that I had accidentally locked the touchpad so I pressed Fn + F9 and the light which means that the touchpad has been locked, then I pressed it again and the cursor still did not move, he began only about a minute after... I tried to pay attention to what I do in the touchpad, but it happens when I simply move the cursor.

  It produces about 4 times a day and the fisrt time it happened was that day I bought. And I never used a USB mouse on this computer.

  Thanks for your attention to my problem and hope you can help me.

  It is not easy to say why this is happening.
  If possible try to use an external mouse. It will be interesting to know if there is a general problem with mouse or simply with internal touchpad.
