Help my pc (softhinks is a problem)

Is someone can you please tell me why the Softhinks on my new hp laptop keeps arising as a problem just continues to appear on the toolbar.

Hi lose ground.

Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

What is the toolbar to which you refer?  If you click the error in this toolbar, what error it says?

Softhinks - is the HP recovery partition.  If there are files being directed to this partition space may show as too low.

1 error I've seen happen on other partitions of recovery is that the files have been directed either recorded on this partition and partition it the space became too low.  If this is the case, remove the files that are not directly under the softhinks on another available partition partition.  You may be able to determine the date of the files/folders to know if they were there originally, or if they have been added by you after the manufacturer installed.

Please let us know a little bit more details on the situation - what error it grants, which is the toolbar, like a virus or something auditor review so we can help identify the situation.

Thank you

    Hello

    They are cold, you try to pick up the 'business' calling

    It's a scam.

    Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

    You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

    If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

    If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

    And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  • Hi all, I need a little help to try to solve a problem of updating Bios for a long time.

    I downloaded the new update of the Bios on the HP site. But when I try to install the update, the process goes up to only while it presents me with an error. Any help would be appreciated, I am trying to upgrade the Bios for the new firmware in order to perform a better processor. Thank you...

    Error code: 3033

    "GoTo" label not found

    on line 89 of w:\patches\i...ate\windows\installer.wbt

    My system is...

    Compaq Presario SR1339uk

    Serial number: CZB5050HBW

    System number: PS267AA

    Motherboard: Asus PTGD1 - LA

    BIOS version: 3.13 12/14/04

    Operating system: Windows XP Home Edition

    Not sure what's going on here, but here is a suggestion on how to properly install manually the update of the BIOS.

    Assume that you download SP26760.exe (BIOS 3.28)

    Start the update - go to the last message you get before it fails and stop. (must be where it prompts you to close the applications and will be saved).

    Open a DOS (command prompt).    You must be an administrator - so if you're running Vista or Win7 - make sure that 'run as administrator ' at the opening of the box.

    Once in the BACK, type:

    CD FOLDER

    go the the directory of temporary files.

    Then make a

    DIR /S 328.LE ROM

    to find the directory where the update files are located.    Type CD < directory name > to go in this directory (on my system, it was a folder called pft467D.tmp, but it might be different on your)

    CD pft467D.tmp

    Now manually invoke (the prompt back, no windows or the windows file manager) the update, with the appropriate switches.  By omitting the switches can cause other problems, as have reported activation of Windows problems.

    AFUWIN /i328. ROM /pbc

    For reference, on my system, here's what I saw in these folders:

    C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > dir

    Volume in drive C is DRIVE_C
    Volume serial number is FE8F-4AA6

    Directory of C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp

    26/04/2011 11:11 < DIR >.
    26/04/2011 11:11 < DIR >...
    24/01/2006 15:31 524 288 328.le rom
    01/07/2004 10:54 53 248 AFUWIN.exe
    01/07/2004 10:54 amifldrv.sys 6 912
    21/02/2006 18:08 526 374 Installer.exe
    09/05/2006 17:10 sp26760.rtf 1 784
    11/04/2005 10:55 398 696 WBDEG44I. DLL
    6 file (s) on 1 511 302 bytes
    2 dir 110,361,944,064 bytes free

    C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > AFUWIN i328.rom /pbc

    It should work OK, however no guarantee if there's something else - but essentially - that's what the installer should do.   If this does not work for you - I wouldn't try to force things - you can make a good motherboard unusable quickly.

    For those who are looking to this announcement - the syntax is for this motherboard only - switches may be different for different motherboards.

    Good luck.!

  • Need urgent help is it you like G500 problems to start with corrupted Table GPT

    I had some problems installing AVG antivirus software. I had to force quit.
    After that. I am not able to start windows 8.1
    I try with the rescue "Parted Magic" software, which comes with a utility called "Gparted".
    This utility recognizes my hard drive but tells me there are a few problems with my GPT Table:

    «/ dev/sda contains the signatures of TPG, indicating that she has a GPT table.»  However, it doesn't have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.  Maybe it has been altered - possibly by a program that does not include the GPT partition tables.  Or maybe you deleted the table GPT and are now using a msdos partition table.  What is a GPT partition table? »

    So, I can not access my 'PartedMagic' data or start Windows 8.1

    I guess the problem is that my GPT table is corrupted, but I do not know how to take the problem.

    Could someone give some advice?

    Thank you in advance, I'm lost.

    PD: with gdisk or gparted, I can access the GPT table:

    GParted:

    GDISK:

    Thanks for your attention neokenchi.

    I finally solved my problem.

    GDisk I had only to write the table to disk (option w), and everything is back to normal.

    I can't be sure, but I guess I must have been some problem with header the GPT and save to disk may have corrected the problem.

    So, I hope this can help others in my situation.

    You can close this thread.

    Thanks again for your help.

  • Windows - WDS deployment services. Need help please for password of mystery problem

    Hello

    Just need help or advice about a problem that's been here recently. I'll give you the sequence of events so that you can better understand.

    An audit has been ordered here where I work and as I had just started working here 3 months ago, I decided to lock the network and make sure that everything was safe.

    There is no service account, and the administrator account was used to run all 3rd party applications, so you can imagine what happened when I changed the admin password.

    Before I did I created service accounts and exchanged them one by one, but the only problem that remains is WDS. When we PXE boot and deploy the image it is the language selection screen and also ask the domain credentials of junction. I have setup a DomainOverlord service account, checked and done so he could join machines to the domain and replaced the old administrator username and password in the AutoUnattend.xml file but it seems not to pick up the password.

    Is there something that I am missing? Is it possible to check which file AutoUnattend.xml using the WIM file? The person who told of course establish a bit messy and I can see at 8-9 AutoUnattend.xml in random places on the server. I changed the details in each one, but it is not always the image itself.

    Any help would be great, the guy in front of me got me fired, I begin to understand why!

    Thank you

    Hi all

    Hope you can help me with this:

    I jz bought the Y450 (free DOS Version) and I installed Vista Home Basic Edition to this topic. I installed the desktop browser that came with driver CD, but I couldn't see the Desktop Navigator application in my notebook (No .exe is located after the installation). When I looked in "Programs and features" that I saw installed was just "Desktop Navigator Tool Library" for your info, the Setup file is less than 2 MB big and I chked the other model that has this feature's installation of more than 10 MB files. The desktop browser has only its library installed but not the application. So where is the version of the browser desktop for Y450? it seeems not be included in the website and the CD that accompanies. Thank you! I hope to hear from you guys soon!

    Response from you on 11/24 got outlook express works.  THANK_YOU! A problem you suggested deltting Deleted Items.dbx hidden file.  This will not remove.  Poster data error (cyclic Redundancy Check) can help, or are - this a problem?

    Roger

    You should always respond to the original thread so that we know what you're talking about.
     
    1. What have you done so far?
    2. OE closed when you tried to remove the dbx file?
    If you are unable to delete the file, use a new identity. File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.
     
    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

  • Remote Desktop is designed to help users to solve their computer problems?

    Is it a good tool to use to help other users with computers there are problems?

    Hello

    Remote Desktop connection is a technology that allows you to sit in front of a computer (sometimes called the client computer) and connect to a remote computer (called the host computer) in a different location. For example, you can connect your computer to work from your home computer and have access to all of your programs, files, and network resources as if you were in front of your computer at work. You can leave programs running at work and then, when you get back, you can see the desktop of your computer work displayed on your computer at home, with the same programs running.

    Remote assistance:
    When you encounter a computer problem, you sometimes can help someone else. You can use Windows Remote Assistance to invite someone to connect to your computer and help you, even if that person isn't nearby. (Make sure you only ask someone that you trust, because the other person will have access to your files and personal information.) Once connected, the other person can view your computer screen and chat with you everything you see. With your permission, your helper can use his mouse and keyboard to control your computer and show you how to solve a problem. You can also help someone else the same way. This technology is called Remote Assistance.
