• Message came up with, "Windows has detected another computer with the same IP address on this netework."

  A message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address. "... or similar message to one, that could just be the functioning of the laptop for the wireless?

  MurrayJoe:

  > Mean someone has or may have access to my PC or laptop?

  You mentioned a wireless laptop. Do you get this message at home (when your laptop is in communication with your own wireless router), or that you get this message when in a public hotspot?

  If at home, then I would be not too concerned (what security options enabled in your home router?).

  If you get the message while using a public access point, this does not necessarily your computer has been hacked... but it is a warning that you should not ignore. In general, I would not go to any site that has my financial data, or any other sensitive data, a public hotspot. There are too many ways that a public hotspot may be compromised.

  Your original post said that "a message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address.

  There are several reasons this could happen... some innocent people and some not so innocent.

  If your network is configured for the most common way, then your router uses a feature called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can read about DHCP here...

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

  Basically, when a device on your home network needs an IP address, he asks your router and your router assigns an IP address... technically, "rents" the router address for a given period (one day). Once this period has elapsed, the device must 'renew lease'.

  DHCP stops you from the hassle of having to assign a static IP address to each device on your network and then don't forget to retrieve that meet if/when a device are removed from your network.

  Sometimes the process DHCP can be confused and assign the same address on multiple devices. If/when this happens, communication between devices on your home network may be confused. Windows is smart enough to detect that another device on your home network has the same address as the computer where Windows is currently running..., but Windows can not solve the problem.

  You can determine the IP address of the computer that is running Windows (and posted the message you saw)... by entering "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks) at a command line prompt. Then you can check the IP addresses of all devices on your network until you find the other devices with the same IP address. Then you could say either every device to get a new IP address of the router (or restart the device). Alternatively, you can try just stating the computer that is running Windows to get a new IP address (by first entering "ipconfig/release" then "ipconfig / renew" in the command-line invite him... all orders without the quotes).

  But since you said that you are not very tech savvy, my first suggestion was the easiest... just shut everything in your network, and then restart one at a time by starting with your ISP device, router, and other devices. If the problem persists after that, then more troubleshooting (as described in the previous paragraph) would be necessary.

  I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you. If you have any questions, please post them and I'll try to answer.

• Whenever I start my PC, a message appears, says another user using the same IP address. Is this a problem

  Whenever I start my PC, a message appears, says another user using the same IP address.

  Is this a problem

  Yes.  One or both may not work properly.  If you use static IP ADDRESS a simple reboot of all devices should correct this.

• error message saying that it is the wrong key when you use a sticker

  Product key

  I have an OEM version of vista Home premium. I'm trying to load on an acer extensa 5420 using the product key on the bottom of the laptop. When I enter the key, I get an error message saying: it's the wrong key. How can I use this disc to reinstall windows?

  Hello

  The OEM recovery disks are the brand and the specific model

  You can't use a disc from another manufacturer

  How to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• to connect to another computer in the same room

  How can I connect to the computer in the same room, I have broadband and use an adapter to run two computers. I want to be able to see what's been done on the other computer

  Hello

  The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
  You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.

  You can also configure an ad - hoc network that looks to use the cable above in that it
  only connects the two machines directly however by wireless.

  Do you already use a router?  If so you can network through it.

• How can I fix an error message saying "could not read the manifesto of chrome?

  Unable to read the chrome manifest ' queue: / / / C:/Program % program % 20Thunderbird 20(x86) /Mozilla % 20Files / chrome.manifest'.

  All of a sudden, I can't connect to the server '? ' and I get some error messages. The above more "the RETR command failed" and "sending the password has failed, #AUTH701 Service unavailable."
  I tried to remove my password of memory and he asked me again but no joy. I checked and my webmail - Yahoo - works fine. TB won't just go get him. Can I get help from anyone please?

  The problem is that the ATT / Yahoo email service is apparently run by kindergarten children and no client att is getting what they pay for. They give a list of messages to thunderbird, it can recover, then say gotcha I can't get back them. ATT it works not. You use their mail add in a browser.
  I speak of this here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/the-retr-command-did-not-succeed-thank.html

  However, if you dig into your Thunderbird profile, locate the popstate.dat file and delete it.

  Menu (alt + H) help > troubleshooting information

  Click the display folder

  Close Thunderbird

  Navigate to the mail folder in the Explorer window that opened.

  Now the att.yahoo or any name server they use this week.

  popstate.dat will be in this folder.

  Delete this file makes Thunderbird forget where it is up to download mail from Yahoo, apparently changing id numbers at random intervals or something. The result is that you have left on the server is downloaded again.

  So, you can this add-on to clear the mess. https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/remove-duplicate-messages-Alte/?src=search

  I blame ATT / Yahoo also are about 99% of the people who come on these forums about this ATT/Yahoo customers. But it could be the continuation of security they provide as well. McAfee caused problems with Thunderbird for over a year and my best recommendation is to not let anywhere near your mail. It is, however, something quite unique to Att / Yahoo that does not exist until they became involved with the yahoo service.

• When I send an email-error message says cannot save in the folder

  do not save my emails sent in the sent folder. When I click on send a new email... I get an error message that says: it can not save to the sent folder. Just started using TB yesterday.

  I have a similar problem, except that my progress bar never stops. The last thing I should read is message saved in the sent folder. If I close the window, the message does not appear in the sent folder. I must tell you that I've been using Thunderbird for several years now. Since yesterday, it was working fine. Now it isn't and that left me scratching my head.
