• My computer is running "Windows XP stop critique.wav" sound every 10 seconds.

  My computer is running "Windows XP stop critique.wav" sound every 10 seconds for the last 8 days.  Window XP SP3.  I spent 1-1/2 hours will dell workstation support and 1-1/2 hours with my computer work (shot as a favor to my personal computer) and they find nothing, MacAfee installed, updated several full scan virus.  A ran Malwarebyte s multiple crawls - nothing.  Kaspersky lab - nothing.  Computer work ran a vrius start-up detector and nothing.  No error log is generated.  And two technicians stop various folders in the Task Manager and NOTHING he did stop.  I was sent a disc of reinstalling XP SP3 Dell and I did a repair XP complete with no fix. Technician COMPUTER checked a bunch of stuff and thought it was "related to a driver."  Regardless of what is the cause, how do I find the problem and fix it.   Thank you

  @GarySibley:

  Thanks for the comments, and I'm happy that you found.  Although I'm not surprised that an msiInstaller error could have caused a "critical stop" but I never thought that he would deliver the error never seconds.

  @JudsonWelcher:

  I suggest you also check your event viewer to find errors msiinstaller.  I've seen other posts where a sound "critical stop" appears to be linked to these errors (but like I said above, not continuous repetitions of the error).

  There is no easy way that I know to track this sort of thing.  Before you start the method of 'Clean boot' or start using the process monitor, open the sound control panel applet and scroll down to check that Windows XP stop critique.wav has not been assigned to certain events in addition (or instead of) a real stop critical Windows.

• m8013w overheating - stop - no warning

  I've been struggling with this for months.

  Randomly, the machine is just off.

  I'll be reading email... or reading a web page.  The system shuts down without warning.

  The only indication I seem to hear is that the indoor fan is starts faster than usual... takes about 5 minutes... and then POOF!  System shutdown.

  I was told that it is probably an overheating problem.

  This is common with this model?

  I have had it for over 4 years now... and he started to do the last 6 months.

  I opened the case to see if there is dust or dirt anywhere, but it's clean.  I took the air compressed and blew the heat-sync block just in case... but nothing seems to help.

  Voluntarily, I tried to use HPs tools and testing program.  (Where you can select the tests to run material.)  I ran all the basic tests that will work perfectly... BUT - when I run CPU stress test... about 30% by running - WOW!  Shut down the system again.

  It all looks like a heating problem.

  What can I do?

  I bought a PCI fan and plugged that... but it doesn't seem to help any.  The part of the box does not seem to run hot... It takes just the chip.  I was told to try to re-application of thermal paste.  So I did... and it stops again.  Is there something better?  They are all born equal?  I used the COOLER MASTER ceramic Polysynthetic - gravity 2.37 composed.  If I had another CPU fan, one who turns harder... would only work/aid?

  Is my computer CPU shot?

  HELLLLLLP!

  Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

  Thanks Dave,.

  I ran the two separately, and both gave completely different results.  I don't know who to believe!

  At least the problem seems to be solved if.  New synchronization of heat & fan does wonders...

  The old hardware ran the hot fan speed and boosted significantly under load - which hardly cooled the chip a lot.

  This new Hyper TX3 of CoolMaster is GREAT!  A bit big for the space, I had to reverse one of the fans and press the cables pretty tight, but not it's barely more than 42 c at full load.  Much better than the other installation.

  If everyone followed this thread - best solution: replace the first CPU fan, or try a heatsync/fan combo.  This is done, the system works like a charm again!

  Appreciate all your efforts and Dave escape.  You showed me some new great tools too!

  See you soon!

• What version of windows is compatible with Photoshop 12.1 x 32

  I currently have Photoshop 12.1 x 32 running on Windows 7 Home Premium

  This computer is shot, so I need to buy a new one.  If I want to Windows 7, or can I go with 7 or 8 depending on what I find. I have not fix to CS6 anytime soon, so I need to stick with my current Adobe Suite for now...

  Thank you!

  Yes, Photoshop CS5 (and CS5.1) work fine on Windows 8 and 8.1.  I run it myself (as well as other versions going the way back) on Windows 8.1 now.

  If you want to upgrade to Windows 8 should be based on other factors, however.  It's a market flop.  Many conscientious people choose to stay on Windows 7 because it is more oriented to the serious and professional computing.  Windows 8 has taken off in the sense of being a toy.  It can be reconfigured, tweaked and enhanced with 3rd party software to make it more serious - I did - but it took all my skills to do, and I'm a software engineer career.

  If you go down the road of Windows 8, I wrote a book called 'Configure the Options of Windows 8 "on the job" ' on how to implement serious computing.

• Format to watch on HD TV

  I did my whole movie, but what is the best format to export the movie to watch on HD (HD ready) TV?

  Koolmees37

  Thanks for the details that indicate that you have a project of 1080i25.

  Is the drive for this HDTV support

  Blu - ray disc on Blu - ray disc format.

  b. DVD-VIDEO format to DVD disc

  c. a file .mpg, .mp4, .mov or .m2t on a memory card or USB Flash drive

  If the Blu - ray disc format on Blu - ray disc, then

  Publish + share

  Disc

  Blu - ray

  with preselection to H.264, 1920 x 1080i PAL Dolby

  If the DVD-VIDEO to DVD format

  Publish + share

  Disc

  DVD, disc

  with preselection to PAL_Widescreen_Dolby DVD

  (with this choice, you may need to click with the right button on the video before exporting, select field Options and select reverse the dominant field if you encounter a problem where you see wrinkles especially in areas of greatest movement...) Details of why a possibility to follow if necessary).

  File on a USB Flash drive

  Drive user manual information/verification on the format support is essential. According to that show the specifications for drive...

  I would probably first look at publish + share/computer/AVCHD shot with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080 p 25 to get an AVCHD.mp4 file and let the TV player take care of the result of the reading.

  For test purposes, you can compare with

  a. publish + share/computer/AVCHD with presets = M2T H264 1920 x 1080i25

  (.mp4, .mov, avi and wmv are most often supported by player .m2t type, but...)

  or

  b. publish + share/computer/MPEG with presets = 1080i25 HDTV high quality

  (This will give you a file with MPEG2 video compression with a .mpg file extension.)

  Publish + share/computer/AVCHD, .m2t, and .mp4 are the so-called packaging/container formats that envelop the file compression. These two choices would use AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/h.264) video compression.

  According to the publication + share/computer/MPEG .m2t and .mpg are the possibilities of packaging/container format. There are MPEG2 HD video compression for choice .m2t and .mpg.

  See the whole and then let us know if it needs to be clarified for the foregoing.

  Thank you.

  Hi MAMARDA,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I would like to ask you a few questions in order to get a better understanding of this issue so that we can better help you.

  (a) what version of Windows 7 use you?

  (b) what is the exact error message you are getting?

  Method 1: You can also try to perform a file system (scan SFC) verification tool. This tool will fix the system files are corrupted.

  Scan SFC enforcement procedure:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

  5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

  11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  Method 2: If this is a recent problem that has developed you can try to perform a system restore and check if it works very well.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next

  4. click on finish

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  For more information, please follow the below given link:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212/

  Method 3: you can try to start safe mode and restore the system, if you are unable to do it in normal mode.

  For a safe boot, you can follow the below given steps:

  1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  2. do one of the following:

  a. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  b. If your computer has multiple operating systems, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  When you are in safe mode, follow the steps mentioned above to complete the restore of the system.

  Hope the helps of information.

• How can I turn off the shot of the gesture of my computer laptop windows 8?

  I am trying to turn off the gesture on my new laptop computer shot and nobody seems to have an answer. I go online to find an answer but it gives me some information to copy and use, but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone PLEASE give me EXACT instructions step by step on how to disable these gestures? It's EXTREMELY annoying that, although I am a game or do anything at all that the charm bar opens or opens the last bar app! Don't know how long I can take this! Thank you

  OK all you Sony Vaio users, you are absolutely right.  There is no way to disable the gestures of the mouse settings.  But... I figured out how to do without having to modify the registry.  Go to your applications screen and click on the form "VAIO Control Center" y go "Keyboard and mouse", at the top of the list below, you'll see "Turn it / off touchpad" with a power slider.  The right of the element is a button «Détails»  Until it clicks.  Who will open another box saying "Enable multi touch features" there you will see a selection of 'Show the charm' uncheck the box which, and you won't have to worry about those accidental shots again.  YAY!

  ======================================================
  More than likely that the video is a format that is not supported on your system.

  Foe example... If the format is MOV, which is Apple's QuickTime format...
  It may be interesting to try to download and install Apple's QuickTime Player.

• Could not import the computer address book in Thunderbird

  Recently, I backed up my computer formatted and reinstalled Windows 7. When I redownloaded Thunderbird, I tried to import my address book from my USB, but when I first came to this screen where it says "import from:" there is no option I could choose from. "" I have a screen shot and will see if this forum gives the possibility to download.

  Select address book, and then text file. The next screen is where you find, and then specify the location of the file.

• Can I run Release Candidate (19.02), Beta, every night, Aurora and ESR versions on the same computer?

  I know that I can run the version beta and all night together on the same computer because they are installed in different directories. What I do then, is that I have a profile for each version. What I do is that I've flown FireFox.exe - ProfileManager when I start either the beta and nightly builds.

  My Question is can I also install the Aurora, the Release Candidate and versions of ESR on the same computer as I do with the beta and every night? If so, how should I install in different directories? I create new profiles for each version. What I can do, is copy in my original profile to newly create profiles so that I can keep all my plugin/addons, themes, bookmarks, etc. of the same.

  The next question, (I think I know the answer but I just want to know that) now I can synchronize my favorites from each of the different profiles I created?

  Secondly, I have now I can do the ABOUT: CONFIG in the address bar of Firefox, anyone have an idea where I can read about what each entry means? Also, are there other secrets in Firefox, similar to the tip ABOUT: CONFIG? I know an app where you can do ABOUT: ME, but this is as far as I know.

  I know this was asked of billions of times, but I also have to ask. Is it possible at all that Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey will be never out to the Apple iOS? I know it's impossible, but maybe someone MIGHT have some thoughts on that?

  Finally, I know this is off topic, but I'll give it a shot. I use Outlook 2013, does anyone know if Outlook can manage discussion groups? The reason why I asked is because I'm just learning that there is a ton of focus groups for Firefox, ThunderBird and SeaMonkey. Somehow, I would get these focus groups in Outlook 2013. I already get allot of flows for other things, so this isn't a problem.

  I would much appreciate it if someone could help me with these questions.
  Thank you.

  See for more information the performance of several different versions of "Firefox". Firefox, Beta, Aurora and nightly installed everything like "Firefox" in their own country.

• How to use wifi when connected to another computer?

  I am currently in a situation where I need screen sharing another mac via ethernet with my thunderbolt, while the Wifi adapter. I have a 2014 the computer I want to see is a new Mac Mini and Macbook Pro screen. When we are connected by ethernet, none of my wifi signal works, even if I am logged in.

  Your description is disconcerting.

  Do not run cables on the carpet between the computers. Connect all devices to your router or switches that connect to your router, or via Wi - Fi to your router.

  You have a SINGLE network. Some devices can be connected by Ethernet and others by Wi - Fi, but it's the same network.  There is no need to have all devices to use the same media. Ethernet is the fastest connection you can do, so if you have an Ethernet connection, Wi - Fi can be "".

  As long as each device can get on the Internet at the same time without rewiring, you can also do a computer connection to computer whenever you want.

• Single shot crashes my Satellite R850-169

  Hello!
  I wonder if someone could help.

  Recently, a single shot would break my Toshiba Satellite R850-169 15.6 inches (Intel Core processor i5 - 2410M, 2.3 GHz, RAM 6 GB, 640 GB HARD drive, Bluetooth and Windows7 Home Premium) laptop.

  Purchased in June 2011, so he's coming up to three years.
  Worked fine until about 4 months ago.

  In the past, when I hit the office/computer, I get an error message saying:
  "Vibration was detected. The head of hard drive is temporarily moved to a secure partition"or something like that.

  Now this message rarely turns on and the computer just hangs.
  And I have the Windows 7 Blue crash dump screen/message.

  The computer has so far managed to launch again... but I suspect one day soon, it may fail to do so!

  Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

  Is it likely to be a hardware problem? As a wiring loose maybe?
  Or maybe it's a software problem?

  Thank you very much.

  > Now this message rarely turns on and the computer just hangs.

  The message usually appears in the case where some shocks have affected the functionality of the HARD drive.
  In this case, the HARD drive protection sensor stops the HARD drive and moves the head position.

  I guess that your HARD drive is not working properly.
  It could be possible that the HARD disk failure causes the system crashes and I guess that the replacement HARD drive would solve your problems of laptop.

  Recommend to replace the HARD drive and recover the computer laptop back to factory settings.

• Want to 750-209: how to connect an old sound system to a new computer

  I wanted a new 750-209 and a former speaker of Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks 19th Point Surround 4 + under low voltage. There are 2 connector; Left and right who are article 3 (each take manages 3 drivers). The envy has 1 output. It seems that I need a derivation ending in female connectors.

  My question? How to connect the two? Is it still possible? I'd hate to have a decent sound system of junk. My needs are basic - just to be able to listen on AOL or YouTube.

  Any ideas on how to accomplsh my goal.

  Just to close this debate; unfortunaely the quick response has not responded to the problem. BestBuy has suggested that I try a composed of derivation of a shot and 2 containers. Finally, I got the system works 'after' discovery that the enormous power brick disliked the new arrangement of power when I replaced the old computer with the desire. I had to replace an adapter 3 - wat and consolidate the brick. A lot of noise to get her old system to work but now I have the choice of speakers or headphones driven by a hold on a HDMI monitor. All's well that ends well. Thanks for the interest.
