Big questions?

Here is the preview.

I have another computer, an HP with windows vista installed. This computer was my worst nightmare. It worked when I first turned it on. Other than the random stops. And now? It will not be loaded any more than a white/black screen with the cursor of the mouse available for use. Right about where the login screen should be.

It also stops at random. Example: (When vista was working) he does once or twice.
Now, while changing the bios settings that it off. Sitting on the white/black screen with the mouse cursor, it turns off. Not sure if it is a hardware problem or if vista has finally jumped its engine.

A BSOD or information in the event log at the time where it would be closed?

In general - if the answer to both is "No" - you have a hardware problem.  If it were software - it would probably be some indications recorded/displayed.

You can start by other modes such as 'last known good Configuration' or 'Safe Mode'?

How are your backups?  (How do you backup, on what timetable, when was the last time that worked?)

You have the real installation media or by a recovery/restore method you follow to restore the system to its factory settings?

Given what you have ('everything by changing the parameters of the BIOS it off') - it would be hard to believe that it was a matter of Windows Vista, huh?  Your BIOS and Windows - two different worlds.

  • A big question mark gray

    Twice in the last few weeks, when I walked away from my iMac for a few minutes, I'll be back to see a big gray question mark on the screen.

    The mouse is not a click or move, and the only way to get rid of the question marks is to reboot, that thin iMac.

    Is this a sign that I need to replace my iMac? I would rather not still.

    24-inch Mid 2007 10.9.5 system.

    Thank you!

  • Big questions (not enough space for DB, don't see music)

    I had a big problem. Appearantly, napster wanted to max out of space on the "rocket". If she did. When I lit a few hours later, he gave me a message about how there was no place for a music DB.

    I went to spend a few songs on the SD card, but I found that Windows no longer saw the device as a device. He saw it as a drive.

    I'm screwed. Just play, I turned on HOLD and then disconnected everything hold back. He complained no place, but proceeded to normal operation. Once it synchronized is the media. I was able to view the settings for the USB mode then put him at PSG.

    My question is why/how he got into MSC, and why it does this as well as he thought he ran out of room?

    All sorts of reasons. Much obtained from corruption in tags and another get corruptions in memory, and sometimes you just fill too full of player.

  • P500 - big questions re: hard drive

    Greetings to the Group!

    My Ideapoad P500 is about 16 months (the warranty period is therefore, of course!) A few nights after a reboot I got the message "hard drive to fix the errors. It may take an hour or more. "... or something very similar. The laptop hooked to this message for more than 18 hours.

    I did a hard reboot and now get the message "check media' followed by the error"initialization failed." This leads to the message "default dbo device missing or failed to start."

    No I don't have any recovery media

    Yes I have backups fairly recent, it's not a problem.

    I have a box that I can use to connect my portable hard drive till I can see if the drive is still readable.

    That's the 64 thousand dollar question... How can I get the hard drive of the laptop? I took the five screws from the rear. At this point, I think the DVD player needs to come out, but is not.

    Can someone point me to a video or a document that describes in detail how to get the hard drive out?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • 'unknown' and big question mark on my network card

    Hello
    I get an 'unknown' with a big blue? on my map network between my computer and the router.
    I already did the following:
    Restarted
    Reset router password
    unchecked some v6 button
    not all users connected
    just abot all I've read about this.
    It will go away for a period short and low and behold he came back.
    What is it?
    Why is that?
    How can I get rid of him?
    Thank you so much in advance.
    He

    I had the same big blue mark on several of my machines and know that the bonjour service is not installed on any of them - all clean installed Win7, Win2k8R2 and Win7Home.  The only thing they had in common was RealTek network cards (or at least that's how they are marked in Device Manager).

    If your NETWORK card is a RealTek PCie or similar, you could try going to Device Manager and click on the Advanced tab of the RealTek network device.  There you should be able to navigate down to an entry labeled "priority and VLAN.  If activated, try to define this VLAN enabled.  I could do this fix on 3 of my machines with RealTek NIC and it seems that the problems of mapping network disappeared.

    [I'm not saying that the bonjour service is not causing a? mark for others, but I got no Hello on my machines.]  The fix above eliminated the? all cards on all the machines in my network].

  • A big question: timers, masking layers, etc.

    Well, I know I asked a lot of questions lately, and it's because many aspects of flash is confusing to me, but I feel I'm learning a lot as well. I think this is my last question for this game because once I get this down my game will be more or less complete.

    Very well. Here's my problem, and I have no idea how to do to start.

    My Start menu is a button of start, Instructions and credits. I can work on the instructions and credits later, but I have some problems. I know I'm asking a lot here, but I don't know where to start then same useful tidbits would be most appreciated.

    Timers

    Basically, the main game has timers that spawn enemies flying at you. This is one of the many timers I

    enemyTimer += 1;
    If (enemyTimer > 5)
    {
    enemyTimer = 0;
    _root.attachMovie ("Enemy", "Enemy" + _root.getNextHighestDepth (), _root.getNextHighestDepth ());
    }

    and of course, I defined enemyTimer and set it to 0 on the part of the onload function. Powering other enemy timers, timers etc. are essentially the same.

    The thing is that (I hid it all layers except those necessary to the start menu, but I still have enemies, bonuses and various other things fly across the screen)

    I don't know how to do to be able to stop all the timers at the beginning and once you press the Start button to begin the timers (enemyTimer += 1 ;))

    Layer display

    (this one should be relatively easy to solve it for you guys )

    I know how to hide and show layers, but I don't know how to make sure some layers are revealed at some point of the game, or with the click of a mouse, etc.

    onMouseDown = function

    {

    ???

    }

    It is my understanding that you can hide individual video clips using Boolean variables, but I don't know how to hide layers together... Is there a way around this or do I have to hide each individual movie clip?

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

    This should be it thanks for all your help guys, and I really hope that this game turns out well

    -Spaghetee

    It is best that you keep sections separate from the issues also separate... it helps people who maybe have a search for a solution.

    You need to hide/show all objects, you can not hide/show layers as a run-time activity.  If the design allows it, you can place all the objects inside a movieclip and then control the visibility of this movieclip instead of control individual objects.

  • I have a big question: what * is that in my ipad appearing evry 5 minutes?

    It seems to me that a browser hijack ad malicious.

    Try LLA

    Safari near force by double clicking the home button. Browse the overview I for Safari upward and out of the screen to close. Unique then press the home button to exit the mode.

    Then, go into the settings, safari and throw your history.

    Force your iPad to restart for good measure. Press the sleep and home for about 20-30 seconds. When you see the silver Apple, let go and let it restart and see if it goes further.

    If it is not, or if it displays when you play a game, then it's an app announced that the developer needs to do something. Of it, it reappears or appears on other devices, you may need to review your router and see if it's picked up some malware.

  • Downgraded to flash 10.3, big questions

    He began performing with the last Flash. Randomly when watching videos from YouTube (or any other video site that uses Flash) I would have your typical crashes and freezes. However, stretched to more than FireFox, it would be the cause of constant freezes on my computer everything and anything I would do. It would continue even after that I closed FireFox, forcing me to reboot. He kept the case over and over and over and over again, so I downgraded to Flash 10.3. The problem disappeared for a while, but then came back. Always on Flash 10.3 and seems to happen very often now. I thought it might be hardware problems, or a virus or drivers have been exceeded. I've checked everything, it of all fine and updated and digitized.

    The problem only occurs if I try to load any type of Flash video, whether it's YouTube or elsewhere, and once it happens it'll continue to happen until I restart. I found that by using Windows 'Boot with the last known good configuration' would stop the problem for a few days, and then come back, forcing me to restart and do it again. I have re-updated my drivers and opted for the update of the driver of nVidia instead of the official Sony driver for my nVidia card, but no change. I don't know what more can be done, and it's driving me crazy.

    Try turning off hardware acceleration and tell us what is happening.

    Thank you

  • Boot disk is automatically fill, big questions!

    Hello, I have an Air of Macbook 13 inches in mid-2011. Recently, I get the error message saying that my boot drive is full. This has happened on and outside for the last week and a half, where the storage is filled automatically. I really should have anywhere from 42 to 47 GB of free storage left on my computer, but when I noticed that storage fills up and behind my computer, I check storage declining considerably. For now, my computer works normally and the storage space is normal, but I know it will happen again in the next day.

    I downloaded the OmniDiskSweeper, and this did not help. I have DiskDiag that I use whenever I open my computer, and it removes generally above 1 GB memory cache daily. I do not have TimeMachine activated, nor do I have Mail enabled for my email account (I prefer to use the browser). My iPhone can only sync manually with my laptop when it's plugged in and I don't have iCloud turned to back up my things. I crossed FirstAid on disk utility; and I tried to search for files that could potentially have spared themselves even more.

    I am so confused as to have an application that can better locate files problem and solve the problem? Where should I go from here? Especially since my problem is recurring and don't happen every time I start the computer, but very often happening recently?

    Sometimes, you need to run OmniDiskSweeper as root to find information about files that you don't normally see. Use these instructions:

  • Import/export to the new office in 2016. The big questions?

    I wonder if I should upgrade my office365 to new version of 2016? Someone at - he had more trouble export/import of the docx Pages with the new version of office?

    I use Office for Mac 2016 for a while with no problems. I do very little Pages but on the side of Microsoft, I don't expect any difference in the ability to process the exported format files Word by Pages - that is to say, I do not think that Microsoft has made no changes to their file format of the previous version.

  • 2 BIG questions... Lightroom CC buggy...?

    Hi all!  I hope someone can help or at least have the same two problems I have - and is there a solution / workaround?

    1. From time to time the top, bottom, and side panels are black and I can't get back them, unless I quit Lightroom and open it again - more frustrating when working on images.  Is there a solution to this?
    2. When I use a local adjustment (spot heal / gradient filter / radial filter / local brush) I'm unable to change the setting after I left the use - the local button on the image disappears, then it is not possible to enter again to make new adjustments.

    Are these bugs? I certainly don't have these problems before.  Any help is VERY welcome.

    Lightroom CC (latest version) / Mac OS (latest version).

    Thank you very much
