• Has anyone seen a fax USB modem that works with Windows Fax and Scan?

  So far I'm 0 for 2.  PC Fax modems seem to be a lost art.  A few months ago, I tried a USB fax modem and tested the receipt of the fax.  The modem answers the phone, the fax sender starts the transmission and... nothing happens.  Eventually, the sender times out with an error.   Same computer, same Windows Fax and Scan software, with an old modem connected to a serial port, all works well.  Modem manufacturer was not able to help.

  And now the same problem with another PC, the modem is different, different situation.  This time I don't have an easy fallback to a serial port.

  And that leads to my question - no matter that matter where in fact seen a fax-modem USB in the field send and receive faxes using Windows Fax and Scan on Windows 7, and if yes, what was the make and model?

  Thank you

  -Greg Scott

  Hello Greg,.

  Thanks for the quick response.

  You can view the reviews of the product in the manufacturer's Web site and see if that helps.

  Also for the Windows Fax and Scan, when your PC or computer would be equipped with a fax modem (or connected to a fax server), it can send and receive documents such as a standalone device. Windows Fax and Scan even includes a handy tool for the design of custom cover pages.

• a call from a guy that he was from microsoft and the computer has a virus

  My friend got a call from a guy that he was from microsoft and that they had tried to him (by pop-up texts) she had a virus message. He was called to help set and wanted remote access, but would not give him any id to verify that it was legitimate, including any phone number or email address. He rang back the next day for a new attempt. He him verbally ordered a little in his computer saying that it had received these warnings pop up, but it will not allow access just in case. We believe that it is a scam. are us correct? and she inadvertently gave them access to certain form eventhough she has not allowed their remote access. He also could not give all the names of what virus he had which sounds too suspicious if they could detect the threat etc...

  Hello

  In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
  Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.

  No, Microsoft wouldn't you not solicited. Or they would know if errors exist on your
  computer. So that's the fraud or scams to get your money or worse to steal your identity.

• Have you been called a company telling you that they work for Microsoft and they want to rid your computer of malware?

  I had problems with the Internet. After many trials and tribulations, I was able to come back.

  I received three calls from someone who told me that microsoft has noticed activity too in my computer about this issue.it asked this company to fix the problem. They tell me that it's a company that has been commissioned by Microsoft to do the job.

  They called me three times. The first time, they tell me that they are based in California. The second time the same person recalls. Today, some calls from New York. WHST is happening?

  Phishng scam!

  Never let anything called 'Microsoft Tech' to connect to your computer.
  Microsoft does NOT make that.

  FYI...
  Currently, Microsoft only provides a support Forum to help customers.
  There is no 'live', e-mail, 'phone' remote, or paid a pension available.
  The only support is here on this Forum, nobody can help.

• Has anyone created a script opened on that charge action games?

  I still get tired, with Illustrator do not remember running a script in the scripts menu, after that Illustrator is closed. Whenever I open it I need to run a script, and then reload recorded actions so that I can use my scripts easier.

  If someone created a script that runs at startup of illustrator, runs a menu script, and then recorded actions loads? If not, anyone know if this is possible, as I will probably create.

  I had the following approach.

  You should always run a script, but now you have to do it once and also rely on some folders inside your folder My Documents.

  Re: Action: "Insert a Menu item" Script still not save CS6

  You can probably do an auto-hotkey or Applescript to show the file menu if, and I'm pretty lazy / do not use a lot of actions with scripts, where reloading only in this way is tolerable.

• They contacted me by phone, saying that they work for Microsoft and must connect to my pc.

  Anyone has any experience with the aforementioned company? They contacted me by phone, saying that they are working for Microsoft. When I asked the guy on the phone he becomes condescending, flippant and unprofessional, and I sopped the call and, above all, its connection to my pc. Is that bana fide company? Any comment please?

• I think that I have been scammed by the company supposed to work for windows saying that my computer was about to crash

  A company called vap technology called me last night on my phone at home and said to my computer was about to crash. they were Indian speaking people and said they were working for microsoft support; as I am not a laptop user profficent of long date, I couldn't tell if they were or not. How to get back money from $149, I paid them to fix the problems and how to uninstall the programs they put on my laptop; also what can I use to tell if it's a microsoft technology? Help!

  It is a scam. See:

  http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx .

  If they have access to your PC, they can install any number of malicious programs. My recommendation is to do a clean reinstall of Windows - it's the only way to be sure that your system is clean.

  If you have them paid by credit card, tell your card provider immediately what has happenend.

  All the data on your computer (passwords, credit card numbers, numbers of account documents, etc.) may have been compromised (they may not know now). According to the companies concerned (for example your bank) what happened.

  Use another PC to change passwords.

  Consider telling your local police.

• Has anyone been contacted and said Homeland Security said that your pc has malware on it and all of your personal information has been accessed?

  Received a letter today from federal financial assistance, saying Homeland Security them informed I had checked my federal FA on a computer with malware, I can't find it on my pc, but they said that someone had access to all of my personal info, this happened to someone else?  I then went to www.onguardonline.gov letter told me, and he said that he had been hacked and that it was disconnected for a while... I scanned my pc with Norton, Windows Defender and then I just use the Microsoft Safety scan and it said that I have nothing on my pc... I don't know what is happening.  Help?

  Hello

  Looks like the enamel could be a scam and the computer could be infected by virus or malware.  I am able to access this site without problem.

  I suggest you to run a complete system scan with the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Also, if the email you are prompted to respond you with any kind of personal information, not to give any information which is definitely a scam.

• Has anyone received a call indicating that it was Windows and there was a threat to my computor... They said that someone hacked my computer and used it to hack other computers.

  The call came about 15:00 central standard time.  The first call was from a female.  I thought it was a telemarketer and asked to be removed from their list and hung up.  Almost immediately, a man called back.  The identification of the appellant did State not available and any number of qriginating.  The appellant said I might have trouble because of the intruder.  They would help me get rid of the program that was on my computer.  I refused assistance and asked not to be called again.  The person called one more time and my husband spoke to them.  Wharton is?  Microsaft Windows tried to call me, or is this SIN?

  It is phishing, a scam and happened to thousands. Microsoft would never call you, and no one would know if your computer has a problem that needs fixing. The people who called wanted to pirate.

• Has anyone been able to Stand Up Essbase Analytics link (EAL) for financial management in version 11.1.2.2?

  Anyone no matter what chance standing places the link Analytics Essbase (EAL) for the purposes of financial management in 11.1.2.2?  We are at the point where when you click on 'Create the Bridge Application' it creates an application and a database in the EA and then blocks the Hyperion Essbase Analytics Link - Web Application Server.  Before this we were receiving an error NetRetry and NetDelay and increased, these parameters are do not receive the same mistakes.  I'm curious to know if 11.1.2.2 there's even a functional version of EAL or if we are out of luck until the next version.  Any comment is appreciated.

  FYI, we were able to raise the EAL and running after adding the following entries in the registry on our servers...

  Solution

  This timeout issue can be fixed by adding two TCP/IP registry settings, but first you must identify the customer who communicated with essbase when the time-out period exceeded so that you know which machine to add the settings.  If all the EAL and EMP components are installed on a single machine, while the machine would also host the client.  If the products are installed in a distributed environment, you determine the client machine depending on how the Essbase EAL server component is defined.

  The URL of the APS is part of the Analytics Server Essbase in EAL definition link.

  If (APS URL) value is "incorporated" means that the application EAL server communicates via the JAPI directly with the Essbase server. In this case the EAL AppServer is the client to the Essbase server. In this case, the following registry settings tcpip need to go on the computer running the application EAL server.

  If the value of (APS URL) is http://serverName:13080/aps/JAPI then the EAL Application Server communicates by way of Hyperion provider of Services (APS). In this case queries EAL proxies to and from the Essbase by APS Server. This means that the APS is the client to the Essbase server and registry settings tcpip need to go on the machine running Hyperion service provider.

  Once you have determined what machine acts as a customer of essbase, set the TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30 and MaxUserPort = 65534 settings via the windows registry.

  1. open the Windows registry.

  2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters.

  3. Add the new DWORD value named "TcpTimedWaitDelay.
  -Right click and select Edit
  -Select "decimal" radio button, type 30.

  4. Add the new DWORD value called MaxUserPort
  -Right click and select Edit
  -Select "decimal" radio button, type 65534

  5. a server restart is necessary.
