Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  • Can not find the driver for my laptop Toshiba satellite CD/DVGW TS-L632D ATA MK1637GSX ATA) I can't find it on the site of Microsoft or Toshiba, to download the driver.

    problem to find a driver for my Toshiba satellite laptop that has a CD/DVGW TSST Corp TS-L632D ATA MK1637GSX ATA

    pilot info (which is apparently a published Microsoft driver) for the device in the computer laptop Toshiba Satellite P200-RT5, full info about 2 years is:
    TSST Corp TS-L632D ATA MK1637GSX ATA CD/DVGW
    Windows version: 6.0.6002.18005 created: 21/06/2006;   modification: 04/10/2009;  size: 65.5 KB; Description of the file: SCS1 CD-ROM drive.
    I can't find it on your site or Toshiba. My driver I think is damaged. My Device Manager, in properties, said to me:
    "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

    Hello

    Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
    are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
    ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • What is the correct way to ask for help with the forum, rather than product, questions?

    I can't find the right way to ask a question about the forums themselves.

    PAGulley said

    I can't find the right part of the forum to ask questions about the forum itself and its features. I wonder what the right place and the way is to get help with the forum system itself. I can find the place to ask questions about specific Mozilla products very well.

    Look up where it says contributor tools and select Contributor Forums. Make sure that you scroll to the top or you'll get a bar with different links instead,

    The forum is https://support.mozilla.org/forums where you question would be better in the SUMO community discussions.

  • Creative support of Cloud for Photoshop asking for Validation of the series. Cannot access the program.

    I bought a simple-app membership cloud creative for Photoshop and downloaded and installed, but whenever I try to open the application a window opens asking serial number validation. If I click on validate it says it can not connect to the internet, but my computer is connected. If I click on "Connect later" he charge for a brief moment and then brings back me to the series posting form. I can't enter the program of photoshop at all. Now, if I understand correctly, I should not need a serial number for him since he is a subscription, but I don't know why it's always asking me to validate when I did not. I tried to uninstall/reinstall the program, and even talked to several agents, but 3 days after I bought it, I still can't access the program. Please let me know what to do!

  • ask for help with the 3210, can not see the hp software, can't sweep

    Can someone help me with this, I have a 2.66 ghz processor mac intel core 2 duo, the osx running version 10.6.7 and scanner no longer works after update to latest software to 10.6.7.  I tried to download the software of hp hp upgrade, and then when it works not tried to download apple software update for hp.  Nothing works.  I can't activate a scan of the computer, the software icons have disappeared.  And I can't activate the printer, just shows 'no scan options '.  The computer allows printing, I can find a printer icon with the option of mac system preferences.  very frustrating hours pass, no solution, thank you very much, david.

    I was able to solve the problem by talking to a person capable of mac online, a person named kelly in oregon, basically, we did a software update (she waited w / me through 15 minutes of downloading), and mac program "image capture" is now effective for me for scanning documents.  I think I can have earlier been confused by the fact that the screenshot is a new program, I had been looking for hp scanning software and finder contains more than all the entries of "hp".  Image capture seems to work.  (FYI, we had briefly discussed to insert the original disc, but chose to not not to this since it does not say that it's usable in mac os 10.6 and since we had the opportunity to see if the system works after installing the downloaded software updates).
