authenticity of telephone contact for repair my operating system

I received a call yesterday Indian or Pakistani oregano claiming to be elected and technicians of windows operating system to fix the system .they asked me to go to a web site called logmein.com wanted then my user name and password which I refused to do. Then, they wanted to connect to my computer with administrator password I also refused to do. I check to see if you can verify the authenticity of these appellants as there should be a log of contacts to users who have been made during the last two days of microsoft windows.

It was NOT Microsoft

It was a sales pitch.

Their contempt.

They are Telemarketers who tries to beat business.

See you soon.

  • Error: File Asms needed Windows XP Home edition after repair of operating system. (Windows 7 upgrade)

    Original title: asms file necessary windows xp home edition, after operating system repair.

    I know it's old but I try to get on my mothers pc so it can transfer files to a drive hard usb. This computer had virus in there and caused certain files be rearranged. I took out the virus

    I could not access the Device Manager as he disappeared. The computer does not recognize the hard drive usb, so I decided to fix the pc using the re installation disc.

    The computer fixed itself, but now I get this message saying file asms is necessary. I tried to use the steps in this article (311755 KB), but still the same problem. I would like to use the recovery console, but I do not know the password for the administrator of safe mode.
    The computer that had repaired the operating system is a dell dimension 2350 and I used the original windows xp disc.
    I have a disc of windows 7 but the graphics card on the computer is less than adequate. I was wondering if I could calm down the graphics in the windows Classic theme for windows 7 will work and is it possible to save files because the computer is always on the xp Setup

    Your specifications (RAM) are not quite the minimum requirements for WIndows 7 as shown here:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/system-requirements

    However, Microsoft recommends 128 MB of RAM for XP as shown here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314865

    So I think that their minimum requirements are a lot of hooey for most environments.  He can run, but you're probably not going to it.

    If you want to see if you can get your work in XP (I'm not familiar with this problem), if you do a little research on Google for phrases like claire XP administrator password, I forgot XP administrator password reset XP administrator password, etc.. I'm pretty confident that you will find a way to go beyond this little bump on the road.  Simply clear the password and be on your way.

    We are supposed to simply not to tell you how to do such things, so I fall just a few tips :)

  • Re: Can I repair the operating system without resetting the whole HARD drive?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M50, I ran an antivirus in safe mode scan today and must have accidentally deleted a file system because now I can not connect.
    The computer will start but when I try to log in it connect, flash back, my office to the floor once and then connect again.
    I can repair the operating system without resetting the entire hard drive and lose all my files?

    And if not, is there someway to initiate a prompt BACK because I don't that the file is still in the recycling bin, and I might be able to restore it.

    Hello Bambi

    Repair option with the recovery DVD (image recovery) is not available. Using recovery DVDs, you can install OS and have once again the factory settings.
    As far as I know at the BACK level, you can start using BACK discus. You can create bootable CDs.

    You can start your computer in Mode safe?

  • Can I create the installation media for Windows 8 operating system Windows 8?

    I encountered some problems with the installation of the Windows 8 client that I expect to be too long to attempt to repair. I suggested to the client that the operating system will simply be reinstalled. The customer has no recovery media. I have not found any recovery partition. I found the instructions at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only to create the installation media, but it takes that I create the media from the computer on which I wish to install Windows 8. This computer came with Windows preloaded 8 factory.

    So I can use this computer to create the installation media, and then reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows 8?

    There is no method to create the installation media (the original installation media does not exist).  The computer maker several times will include a program to help create your own recovery media, but which varies from one company to the other.  You could contact them to ask if you don't see the program, or they can also send you a copy (Dell sent me a free CD by fed - ex overnight when I asked for one for a Dell Latitude Laptop - laptop I has not yet bought them even!)

  • Additional printer drivers for the latest operating systems?

    Hello, I have a computer running Windows XP Professional with a HP Deskjet D4200 printer. I have guests who often connect to the network using their own computers. Unfortunately, often the printer share fails because they use Windows 7 or Windows Vista. When I try to add printers for these operating systems, I do not see an option. The box options is by clicking on start > printers and faxes, right click on the shared printer, click Sharing, and click additional drivers.

    1. download the files from one day to the next and save them to a USB key that you can give to your guests.

    2. take HP on their offer to sell you a CD with the driver.  If order Vista and Windows 7 and if you call rather than ordering it on the Internet, maybe you can get them to give you a break on the shipping.

    3 Variant 1: go to your local public library where there is a high speed Internet connection and download the drivers there and the record to a thumb drive.  If you do not have a library with free Internet access, you may be able to find an Internet café or FedEx/Kinko's or similar.  Even if you pay for the time, it would probably be cheaper than the CD from HP.  There are some shops with free wifi (e.g., Starbucks, Panera Bread), but you must have your own laptop.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  • I can't backup DVD for Windows Vista operating system due to the error of 0x8007001B

    I can't finish a DVD upward on my Windows Vista operating system.  This is due to an 0x8007001B error code.  I was unable to complete the fix to services.msu

    Hi mine,

    This isn't a question of MSE - there is a problem with Vista or your computer or your software backup or your DVD player or its drivers or something else. We are not the right people to answer your question and give you the best possible options and solutions - you have to talk to the experts.

    Please repost at: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system?page=1&tab=all&tm=1304884961900 where specialists who understand and focus to help with these issues will be more than happy to help you.

    Although not my area of expertise (and you're welcome to ignore it and just after to the other forum), I did do research in any case and believe that the problem involves the corruption on your hard drive (although I could certainly be wrong - it is more likely to be the case if the full error message includes "drive cannot find sector requested" but you don't get the full error message, so I don't know). To try to fix it, if that is the problem, follow these steps:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot. Answer Yes and restart to run the program. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    If this does not work, test better clean your hard drive. To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and try to diagnosis HD (http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html) or this test: hard drive diagnostics tools and utilities (storage) - Corp of TACKtech (http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287). If it passes the tests, there's probably nothing wrong with it and you must do to the other support forum. If it fails, which include in your post on the other forum and let them advise you how to proceed.

    I hope that the above solves the problem. If this isn't the case, I am confident, they can help you in the other forum, because that's what they specialize in. It would help if you posted the message Word for Word that is accurate and complete, including all codes. In addition, it would help them if you explain the difficulty you mention services involving (a link to the site where you found the solution or at least what exactly you did and what has happened or not happened when you tried). And if you've tried my suggestions above, include the results in your message (so they don't ask you to do it again and will be able to exclude).

    Good luck and best wishes!

  • How have the guest OS disk cleaning disc space come on for the host operating system hard drive?

    People,

    Hello. I use VM Player 3. The OS is Windows 7. Guset OS is Windows Server 2003.

    Because the host OS Windows 7 C drive is nearly full, I need disk cleanup for drive space in Guset OS Windows Server 2003.

    Guest OS Windows Server 2003 VM hard drive parameters:

    Size current 92.5 GB,

    Maximum size of 150 GB.

    I use Disk Cleanup tool to clean C:\Document and Settings\Temp\ and temporary Internet Files\ administrator to get 32 GB of disk space. Now my computer in Windows Server 2003:

    Used space: 59.2 GB

    86.2 GB of free space

    145GB total space

    But when I check again Windows Server 2003 VM hard drive settings, its current size is 92.5 GB and is not afraid to 59.2 GB after cleaning. Host operating system Windows 7 disc does not come more disk space after cleaning.

    My Player VM VM-> settings is not a function of "Shrink" and the program does not "vmware - vdiskmanager.exe" file to run the function of 'shrink '.

    My question is:

    How to get the approximately 32 GB (92, 5-59, 2 GB) of disk space happen on Windows Server 2003 VM settings and drive hard host operating system Windows 7?

    Thank you.

    People,

    Hello. VMware Tools has tab Shrink to reduce the virtual disk. But the free disk space hard host should be larger that the size of the virtual disk you are reduced to shrink.

    The problem is solved by myself. Thank you.
