Computer to take in the future!

Twice now my computer managed to attach themselves to a date far in the future - causing my software antivirus of dysfunction and various other problems.  Yesterday he was able to think it was already the year 2065. Can fix this in re-setting the date, I would like to know why it is happening and if there is a fix for this.

I've not seen that since as I was a Win95 machine that would do the same thing. It turned out to be a faulty motherboard. You can try replacing the CMOS battery if you have a desktop computer. Although I doubt this will help you, it's easy and cheap (~ $5.00) troubleshooting step. If this does not help, then it's probably the motherboard. With my old machine, I just kept a watch for when the date would change and then it changed back correct one myself. Finally, I replaced this lemon of a computer. ;-) MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • You can do an update that will take away the computer's registry so that it runs faster and is not as complicated

    Can you make a windows vista service pack 3 that does not use a registry

    • It would make installation and uninstallation and the safer removal and leaves no traces of files cluttering up the speed any
    • It would be easier for the programs to run and you would not get error messages that it would interrupt people modify and modify it to make TRAIL based programs to run that she would keep them to remove some files needed to run windows
    • It would be a good target for Microsoft to make in the future it would be as reliable as other OS not mentioning not all specific, but if you want more people, it would be a start but you do a good job
    • Thank you

    The size of the registry has no impact the speed of your PC, so all optimizations is useless and all Registrycleaners are snakeoil:

    Read what Mark Russinovich wrote on these useless tools:

    "I don't and never will implement a registry cleaner since it's of little practical use on anything other than Win2K terminal servers and developing one that is safe and effective requires a huge amount of application-specific knowledge."

    The registry is ok, there is no need to change something.

  • How long in the future will support AS2?

    Hello

    I've developed Flash animals for almost a decade, I consider myself advanced AS2... I am also very advanced in PHP...

    Throughout all my projects, I have always used Flash, AS2, mySQL and PHP and have done tons of applications, some mission critical, w / this combo...

    When AS3 has implemented, I was excited, until I tried to learn it and tried to develop in the context of this. It's not really a BIG BREAKTHROUGH of AS2 AS3, this is more than a COMPLETE CHANGE... in the habits, by attaching codes, etc... While I was trying to who kissed, and I don't really... for months... I can't adapt to it in a practical and efficient way... I understand for large projects and scalable than as3 has an advantage of foreground... but for s-m projects, AS3 just makes things more complicated than they are... and it takes me a lot more than time and effort to achieve simple things I wana... even just the shortcuts to the KEY ESC + who did my coding FAST (esc + st = stop()) was something that I did not so much...  So I redide my project and I simply went back to AS2 and still happy with it... as long as I know the limitations, especially in performance, I'm ok.

    I continued to build a lot of the inventory using FLASH/AS2 interface and PHP MYSQL backened accounting systems... It is robust, secure, and all I need and do it, I can achieve... I've never had any complaint (Finally, except for some light stuffs here and there the limits of the datagrid control, but it's ok)

    Now I embark on another project, w/c will require long term support... that the software will be used for at least 3-4 years and I will continue to improve its features and interface...

    That being said, my experience with these types of projects, I AM COMPLETELY CONVINCED that ALL I NEED TO BUILD and MAINTAIN such software is all FEASIBLE/AVAILABLE w / my current working environment, the AS2/PHP/MySQL... but I'm not sure, is ADOBE FLASH PLAYER for AS2 special SUPPORT because a lot of the GUI of my software work on the browsers to be cross compatible (Windows/Ubuntu desktop computers)

    So my question...

    I read the blog of 2008 in ADobe

    http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/ActionScript/articles/six_reasons_as3.html

    Quote;

    [img] Backward compatibility and the technologies of the future

    If, after reading all of these benefits, you always want to learn ActionScript 3.0, then you can continue to write code ActionScript 2.0 to develop your projects. But as the Flash platform evolves, good number of cool technologies will be available in ActionScript 3.0. For example, technologies such as Adobe Flex 3 and Adobe AIR require ActionScript 3.0, so if you want to work with these technologies, working on a older version of ActionScript isn't really an option. [line]

    SO it says here that backward compatibility will be maintained, and I don't like what's new... I have everything I need in AS2...

    BUT... This is a 2008 article, and I don't know if he meant backward compatibility to stay until 2020 mean? Laughing out loud

    Anyone got any ideas on that?

    Thank you

    TJ

    Yes, but as I said, it would be very likely that the Flash Player will stop an AS2 content... There is a world of computing already out there who should stay steady in the future, not only will you.

  • Why my computer automatically takes up with dashes until I can connect?

    My computer is a HP Pavilion A6600F, Windows 7 64 bit, and recently when I turn on the computer it automatically fills the sign in areas.  I had to hit enter twice before I can connect.  A few times when I want to do a search for something, he will fill this area with dashes and allow me to stop him.  I had to go through all the types of changes to work right.  It started just recently after I moved.  Would this be something loose or do I have to call in a specialist?

    Hello adagarner, you could try to go back to a Restore Point Windows before this problem appeared.

    Go to the start ORB, all programs, accessories, System Tools, System Restore. Click the system restore option and should open the window of Windows system restore. It may take a few seconds for it to open.

    Then are looking for a System Restore Point before the problem occurred.

    The system should reboot and the system starts on the normal desktop and a message if poster who advises the system was a success or that Windows was not able to restore the system.

    Sometimes it works and other times not, but may be worth a try.

  • Why should I buy Toshiba in the future?

    I would like to ask what is the point of buying the Toshiba for the future? What should motivate me? I know that their laptops are pretty cheap prices for the products that they understand, but with such terrible support?

    I have the Qosmio F50-125. I bought it 3 years ago. As I bought, taking PILOT was TERRIBLE. For example every 3 years, they released 1 single DRIVER for the video! 1 ONLY! To 07/28/08 (for Vista).

    Of course, there is a 'New' driver for windows 7 from 2009. But that's all! When you buy a product, you expect to have good support. Especially when guaranteed Toshiba is "matter of 1 year what + 3 years warranty abroad". You expect to have at least 3 years support when you get a 3 years warranty, but no, they update the drivers for the 1st year and that's it!

    + All new updates (which are 2, 3, for Bluetooth and wireless) are for Windows 7. This laptop is initially sold with Windows Vista. Nowhere says that if there is an option for the upgrade. I called and asked Toshiba if I can update (if it offers this service) and they responded that they do not know! Still no answer... And if you download drivers on the page of the developers (nvidia in my case) the guarantee falls of!

    So when you buy Toshiba you get:
    Benefits:
    -1 year no - matter what guarantee + 3 years warranty abroad
    -Cheat relatively good price laptop

    Disadvantages:
    -NO SUPPORT DRIVER
    N ' is not allowed to open the computer or give it to any business to be cleaned to avoid HEAT problems, except Toshiba
    -Many programs of Toshiba, who defects to your system, one of them Toshiba Tempro - totally useless

    When I bought this laptop it encrypted 1015 euro. Not the cheapest, but certainly not the expensive class. Now I think to buy a laptop for 1000-1500 euros. Will I lose the money for Toshiba?

    Buy a new computer in the high-end, have supported only for the first year and after 2 years, having the same problem? If I bought it only for study and work, all this would not matter to me. But I use it to create music, graphic designs and play in the spare time.

    P.S. I love my laptop, 3 years and still runs great. Photoshop, Fruity Loops, everything works well, + I can't even play Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3. But the design of the terrible air flow. It is build in such a way that each 3.4 months you must clean, to prevent the temperature of the GPU + 100. Normal is 90 ;) I think it is quite bad.

    With regard to the display driver support:

    I agree with you, the drivers of graphics card for gaming laptops should be published and updated regularly because most of the new games require the latest version of the driver.
    But I noticed also, that other manufacturers of portable display drivers are not updated regularly and in most cases, the use of original pages manufacturing GPU graphics drivers is necessary.

    > Is not allowed to open the computer or give it to any business to be cleaned to avoid HEAT problems, except Toshiba

    I think that all manufacturers of computer/computer laptop don t allow to open and disassemble clean products. This is because the procedure of disassembly is always delicate and there is a risk of damage to the part. I think it's understandable...

    > Many programs of Toshiba, making mistakes in your system, one of them Toshiba Tempro - totally useless

    I noticed that each laptop manufacturing install tools and utilities in order to control the features of the laptop. The point is that computers laptops are different to the common fund s PC and portable support a large number of additional features: Eco modes, multimedia keys, additional power saving features, security options for HARD disk, etc.

    So a pre-installed software isn't really a drawback, but of course, you can remove it from the system but this means that you would not be able to use these features.

  • TouchSmart 520: The computer is stuck on the opening of the screens.

    Hi all

    It will be a little long because I try to give as much detail as possible. I have a desktop HP Touchsmart 520. The other day, I want to run an OS based on Linux from a USB key. I did once before, so I did what I did the last time. I unplugged, take off the back, then removed the hard drive, then plugged the USB key. I was hoping that since I didn't drive hard in, the computer would then operate the stick because of the boot order. He did bring up the screen of the OS, but gave me an error on failure. I turned it off and then return and go to the bios to change the configuration. I found the USB from the menu, but couldn't move, so I tried to disable the first option for the hard drive. I plugged the USB back in, but it does not still work, so I tried to drive hard back. Something happened somewhere in all this, the computer froze, so I tried to hit different buttons to see if I could get an answer, but nothing, so I cut. When I cut back on, I can't no longer to enter the BIOS. The usual HP screen comes up and says press ESC to enter on the start menu, and if I hit him in the first second coming he will take me to a black screen that has my computer on this subject record, starting with the processor type, processor speed, etc. (if I hit any button in a moment the computer hangs on the HP screen). This black screen is as far as I can go and the computer always crashes here, no matter what button I push, but it is said in the lower right corner of the activity for any button I pressed on, for example if I press F2 on the HP screen, it will go to the black screen with my characteristics and in the lower right It will read Diagnostics; If I am pressing F10, it will do as above but read the configuration. He never goes beyond this screen. I know that's not my hard drive, because he wasn't in when it started happening, nor is it possible that a virus has been on the USB port, as it's a BONE checked and I do not use this stick for something else. I know that something happened when I was in the BIOS, but I don't know how to fix it. Nobody knows what is happening or what I can do to try to fix it? It would be very appreciated that I can't afford to take it in, and I don't think it's a bad thing in the first place, I don't know what I'm doing. Thanks to you all!

    Hello

    seems that there is a corruption of the bios. First try to make BIOS clear CMOS. He must go, unplug the power supply, open it on the back and to remove the RTC (real time clock) battery for a couple miutes and then turn the unit and go to the bios and load bios defaults. As a guide to go and use the services for your product guide. You specify exactly which model you have (model number or product number), but look on hp.com for service guide: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03357415 for more details.

    Note that this operation to be experienced user but you wrote that you have disconnected the HARD drive, you have already opened the unit if you wait is at the level to do so.

    If the RTC cmos clear won't help, report back and we will help you make bios flash BACK.

  • My Dell all-in-one 962 stopped printing all of a sudden. The error messages are that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.

    My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.

    and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.

    That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.

    The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked.  Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019

    I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted.  In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new.  Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case.  In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.

    If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

    Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

    Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.

    Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs

    Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904

    Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    Run the Fixit routine.  Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete.  It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values."  This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode.  If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked).  This may work anyway.  You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.

    After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software.  You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place.  You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490
