• new to computers; can I update and install the recommendations at all? Why? is microsoft Secur. Essentials enough? im confused...

  IM totally new to computers in this age/era.  should I install all updates and recommendations and why?  And I use microsoft security databases to protect my computer.  is that enough?  If not what else?

  Hello

  Yes, you need to install all the applicable updates such as those that will enhance the functionality of the
  computer and also help to ensure his safety.

  =============================

  MSE is an excellent antivirus/antispyware software.

  Here's what I use and recommend:

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x - use only and no if using MSE.

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• E1200 WiFi falls 80% new packages computers, computers relatively old and wired OK

  Router: E1200 2.0.02 build 3 February 15, 2012

  These symptoms are stumping me:

  WiFi removes the packages of 80% of new computers (Win7, IPv4 active andIPv6) to internet hosts reliable.  WiFi is OK (0% loss) of new computers to E1200 himself (ping address IP E1200).

  Old computers, wired and mobile devices are OK for reliable internet hosts.

  Basic wireless settings are mixed, Auto channel width.  Wireless security is set to WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode.  Active guest access.

  I installed a lot of routers E1200 with good results but have never seen this set of symptoms.  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Reduce the MTU value has not been set.

  Thanks to a thread related http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/E1200-very-slow-wireless/td-p/492752/page/3, the following configuration works around the problem.  I reduced the difficulty of configuration for the following two parameters:

  Under Wireless:

  • Basic wireless settings: channel width: 20 MHz only (automatic has been activated previously, 40 confirmed MHz previously)

  Applications and games

  • QoS - make all disabled. (WMM enabled previously)

  Again, the only affected customers were relatively new computers, presumably with new 802.11 n batteries.

• Expansion base xb3000 - compatible with the new portable computers HP?

  Hello all!

  I am currently using a laptop DV8305 connected to a basic xb3000 expansion.  This is a great set!  I would like to get a new computer laptop (something in the DV7 range) and use it with my old xb3000. The problem is nothing new HP laptop computers are listed in the online compatibility list (and I don't want to buy a new base expansion.)  The xb3000 seems to have a connector of the expansion of the Port 3 (that some HP laptops), so it should work... or would it?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  Ian

  I did research more (including writing to HP) it turns out that, if you have the correct extension on your computer port, it is not a problem.  I think your DV7T has expansion Port 3 and will live up to the basis of pretty good expansion. Go ahead and enjoy your laptop and xb3000 combo.   See you soon! Ian

• New desktop computers, are Mac and workstations equals cheaper pc with the best record?

  I am looking to buy a desktop computer for General CS, primarily PS and AE, a little bit more VJ software, audio sequencers and 3D animation here and there. I'm not a professional, but I hope to be one day that I am graduating soon. I notice there is $1000 + post computers work of office that are similar or worse RAM and CPU than desktops under-$1000 seeking players or users to general. Then there is mac, which cost a lot more for similar specs, but I'm considering an iMac 21.5 "if it's really worth for creative media.

  This is essentially what I'm talking about. Less expensive desktop computers have better specs than the more expensive iMac desktop and workstation.

  I suppose that there are increases in quality with the iMac and workstations, but is it useful? Are the way that these things are built is going to make them work better than cheaper, for my needs? I came to believe that I need to at least a certain amount of RAM and power for editing and processing videos but I have no $2000 + buy an iMac or a workstation with sides, so if I have a machine of 'better quality' with lower parts is that generally sufficient?

  Any advice appreciated, thanks.

  -Is a free upgrade? Some games sites say update your ios, bios, the video card, sound card ect. Did I download website for free? If it's free, nobody knows where to go?

  You should only update your BIOS, drivers or video card if there is a good reason to do so. If it works with what you have, I would not bother upgrading. If you decide to upgrade the BIOS or drivers, you can download them from the Acer site.

  -Where to play games, it would be better; (plugged), saves energy, balanced or High Performance. I don't want my laptop to overheat or get hot.

  Most laptops are not specifically designed for games, so he can become hot. Game requires more power and therefore cause more heat. Make sure that the ventilation openings are not covered and the computer is not on your lap, so it may take a lot of air.

  -What are some major programs, I should be downloading to help my laptop? I do daily scans with AVG Free and MalwareBytes, CCleaner and have my laptop to check the window updated daily.

  There is really no programs that you should load, other than the things that you specifically need. An anti-virus that is simple as you run should be sufficient. More you load on it, less it will happen.

  -Are there a way to increase the speed of the fan or not?

  If there is, there will be an option in the BIOS. The answer is no for most laptops.

  -My speakers do not sound strong. I checked the settings and there to the maximum. I blow my speakers? They are strong when I helmet

  Most laptops produce audio only poor quality, since they have small speakers. It is difficult to tell if they are conveyed without hearing.

  * Important *.

  -J' I intend to buy a bomb of compressed Air for dust and stuff from inside my laptop, because I'm afraid to open it myself. Is it safe if I use it in the side wind which has a fan? It will break my fan or anything like that?

  It should not break anything. Make sure that the system is unplugged and not hot.

• Envy 17: Questions about New 17 "computers laptops Envy with 6th Gen Skylake processors

  I see the new Skylake i7 CPU showed in the line of envy (I waited for my purchase), but he has very little information provided on the HP site and what's next is some confussion. I mean, I'm looking at a $2,000 laptop - a little information on the sales page would be nice!

  There are 2 17 '' want options (not the best value) that are customizable - display a touch and the other not.

  No touch lists a 256GB SSD option, and 1 TB spinner - touch lists a SSD 512 GB or double spinners.

  Basically, I can assume there are 2-Bay 2.5 "as previous models of envy, but what is the SSD? It is a 2.5 "SATA? What is M2? Is - this mSATA? If it's M2 or mSATA is on the lower part of the Board of Directors and easily replaceable?

  Which in the end line want is a bunch of fo SSD 512 GB (or 1 TB) and a cone of 1 TB for storage and available configs don't happen. Can I do it myself?

  Well, I guess I answered my own question...

  (manual for the 2015 Envy 17 is located @ http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04696907)

  The manual shows a connection for the SSD with two m2 2 2.5 "bays. For those who wish to have a second (or third) car related parts appear to be:

• After you have installed the Mavericks, VMs still open like new desktop computers

  Before the Mavericks, if I open a VM (full screen) on my MacBook with a monitor external, it would open on the external monitor, but it would not drag on and create a new office. I liked it. (If I did the same thing without the external monitor attached, he pourrait slide over and create a new office, which I also liked.) I was able to return between my two VMs with command + ~. Life has been great.

  After the installation of the Mavericks open a VM (full screen) on my MacBook w / results an external monitor by creating a new office on the external monitor, which is not what I want. Another side effect is that command + ~ is no longer works to switch between VMs. life is not so good.

  I also have issues of weird menu bar describes another user. It seems that some of this new behavior can be a simple change in the way OSX now works, but some if it is permissible to the interaction between Mavericks and VMware Fusion. Any advice to mitigate the problem now? Any plans to update VMWare Fusion to improve the situation?

  Thank you.

  I think I solved this by going to settings-> Mission Control and uncheck "screens have separate spaces" (setting don't stick the first time - had to do it twice). Now the behaviour seems similar to the way it was.

• How to speed up the commissioning of new desktop computers

  In a dynamic pool of available workstations is set to 20.

  Early in the morning, when our users start working they often have to wait for their desktop - looks that only 5 workstations is created at the same time.

  Can I assign a higher value for the amount of new virtual machines that can be created at the same time?

  If you go to the display Configuration section, servers, change your vCenter server and choose Advanced Options, you will see an option for provisioning operations simultaneous max.  See if it will do the trick for you.

• Unable to install printer, can not find the folder c:\windows\system32\drivers can anyone help im new to computers. Thank you

  nothing other than follow install wizard interrupted because usbprint.sys msg

  All of the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers folder is missing?  If this is the case, I don't know how your system boots.  Otherwise, look for usbprint.sys in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ServicePackFiles\i386 if you are running an Intel-based system.  Look in \amd64 so it's an AMD based system.  You can also find it in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache.

  The easiest way is to copy (but you will have to do it in safe mode).

  The best way is to use the System File Checker (SFC) by using the "sfc/scannow" command from the run (start-R) menu.  Note that this requires that you have your Windows XP installation CD and the CD for your current Service Pack level.  Note that you might have trouble with the Service Pack CD-ROM will be accepted.  Read KB900910 if this is the case (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900910 ).  This procedure should work for Service Pack 3, too.  (I think that the biggest problem with the CD of Service Pack incompatibility is that Windows Update installs a multi-language version, while most of the CD are unilingual and therefore have different product IDS.)
