  • Satellite L100-120: Wlan does not allow the transmission of large data packets

    Satellite L100-120, Intel 3945ABG.
    Router Wi - fi is 3COM OfficeConnect Wireless, same problem with Dlink DI-524.

    By default my wi - fi card does not allow the transmission of packets of data.

    I use ping-f-l 1464 192.168.1.1 to check if it is possible to send a large package. All packages more then 600 large fail to be sent.

    It is tragically wireless performance and I almost cannot use internet at all. I solved the problem partially by setting the MTU to map wi - fi at 548. Connection is now stable, although I can not yet send massive emails. Anyway, it is not a good situation to have such a low MTU value.

    Everybody respected this problem?

  • Computer does not allow me to click on the icons.

    I turn on my computer and connect to a single user and my computer does not allow me to select all the icons, but if I pass users and connect to another user at the same time, I can use my computer. My computer was working fine until I installed Office 365. I called the technical support on the office and they said that it was not the office which was the cause of the problem. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum!

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that you can not select or open all the icons in a user account.

    To guide you in the right direction, I need a little more information of the computer with the problem. Please help me answer the following questions:

    1. what happens when you try to select icons?

    2. do you get an error message?

    Here are a few troubleshooting methods that you can try in order to solve the problem.

     

    Method 1: Try to run fix it from the link below:

    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/system_maintenance_for_windows/en-us

    Method 2: try to rebuild the icon cache and check.

    a. open the Start Menu and type cmd in the search box and press on enter.

    b. in the command prompt, type each command line below one at a time then press ENTER after each single line.

    CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local

    DEL /a IconCache.db

    OUTPUT

    c. log off and log on, or restart the computer to recreate the icon cache.

    Note: This helps rebuild and recreate a new file IconCache.db .

    Method 3: Fix a corrupted user profile:

    Hello

    You can try the following.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  If windows will load in this mode, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 24 hours prior to the issue of logon and then proceed to the restoration.  When you are finished, Windows will restart as normal in order to check if you can now connect correctly.

    Another option if the above does not help is as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Start using last good known Configuration" and press ENTER.

    Hello

    "Save as" box pop up does not allow me to save the document. Displays a white screen. No idea what would cause this? I bought acrobat pro dc.

    Thank you!

    Found this solution:

    The default "Save as" dialog Acrobat DC is different from the dialogue box you had in earlier versions of Acrobat, it also allows you to record in the clouds and previous locations that you saved the files. It is possible that when Acrobat tries to connect to the 'cloud', it runs into problems. You can try to disable this feature to see if this brings your backup in the back of the box: open Acrobat Preferences, then go to the "General" category and uncheck "show the online storage when you save files:
