  • Why do I get an empty folder named SightSpeed records not appearing in the folder My Documents/libraries?

    I get an empty folder named SightSpeed records not appearing in the My Documents/libraries folder in Windows 7. I have not all Dell products. I use Windows Messenger and Skype to make video calls (VOIP). Why this Dungeon appear even after I delete it?

    Hello ThomasSpero,

    It is the response that was returned by Logitech Forums:

    16/10/2012 09:00

    Hello spetho2001,

    The empty SightSpeed records record is a direct result of your Logitech Vid installation. The file is harmless and will remain empty unless the function to record video calls is implemented in Vid.

    enation815

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It seems to be just a record created and will have nothing on the record unless you use the video recording option. You can test this information by recording a video call.

    I'll assume that the empty folder is not a problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    It would have helped us if you had given the name of this specific software

    now, guess that it is Malware as you do not give the name of it!

    Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

    You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

    If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    If the error persists after scanning use this program to out startup

    This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys.

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

    If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
    Start bittun > in the search box, type services > press ENTER > uac prompt > scroll down and look for Windows Defender...
    under the State ; It must be said Started

    Looks like you get an error message "the file (s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path.

    This normally occurs when the file system is corrupt.

    1. click on start
    2. type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD-> click 'run as administrator '.
    3. at the command prompt, type: chkdsk /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  • Properties dialog boxes appear in extended desktop monitor after turning off

    I used the Office expanded shortly to develop a data model. However, when returning on the single screen of laptop, maker of data continues to display dialog boxes in extended desktop monitor and therefore invisible.

    If anyone has experienced this problem and is it possible to disable this option.


    Thank you
    Etienne Piron

    Hi Eric,.

    For some of the dialog boxes, he remembers where the dialog box is displayed, and next time the dialog box is used, it tries to display the dialog box at the same place.
    This can result in the dialog box being invisible if it was previously displayed on a subsidiary monitor that is no longer connected.

    In this case, you can move the new dialogue box on the main screen as follows:

    1 attempt to open the dialog box.

    2. tap Alt space (this opens the dropdown of the invisible dialog box).

    3 M type (this selects the Move option in the drop-down below).

    4 use the left or right arrow key to move the dialog box. (Once you've started it, you will find that you can use the mouse to position the dialog on the screen.)

    You need only this time for the dialog box. Next time it is used, it must appear in the new location.
