• HELP Please, combatability problems who upgraded to windows 10

  I am running Windows 7pro.

  After my first attempt to upgrade to Windows 10 it seemed to take and I was happy with the results. After about 2 half days, he began to show my hard drives, software was not compatible with "Intel Rapid Storage Technology or HP 3d DriveGuard technology.

  I tried to reinstall the software, but it did not help.  After stopping for the night I started my system the next morning to see that it was not to find any OS and doing together pre tests, I realized one of my hard drives has been damaged.

  Not only was my OS went he destroyed one of my hard drives! I spent over 150.00 to return a little of my normal computer.

  I guess that Windows 10 never "will be" on my computer, but would like to know if others have similar problems.

  But my story can help others with similar systems or software and the upgrade can transmit until the problem with compatibility

  problems with the software is fixed.

• Help, please! Problem with QuickTime audio recording of the iPod?

  Before you start: I one day 32 GB 6th gen (newest) iPod Touch and uses a MacBook Pro with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 early 2015. QuickTime Player is Version 10.4 (833.7).

  I have an iOS game and you want to record a video of my game using QuickTime. I want to record is just two things: the screen of my iPod (to show the gameplay of course) and iPod audio (to listen to the music of the gameplay, sound effects, etc.). I play with headphones plugged into my iPod, so, naturally, I want to listen to the game and have the video recording, the audio of game as well.

  Unfortunately, a problem arises however. I insert my iPod in my computer, ready to start game and the headphones plugged into the iPod. I open QuickTime, then click on "file > new Movie Recording. From the drop-down list next to the button REC / I click on "camera > iPod of [my] Touch" and "micro >" of [my] iPod Touch '.» Immediately I can't hear my headphones... ! However the emulation screen iPod appears perfectly on my MacBook.

  If I press the record button when even just to see what happens. I recorded about 20 seconds of the game and click on stop. Pretty funny his returned to my headphones right when I stopped recording! Nevertheless, I plugged my iPod headphones on my MacBook and played the video I just recorded. The 20-second video has audio PERFECT, everything in the video went extremely smooth and no audio/visual of all issues.

  I wanted to keep trying, then instead of having already my headphones for my iPod, I tried to open QuickTime with my headphones unplugged; and then plugged my iPod after QT has been opened. The emulation screen FROZEN unlock and then when I unplugged the headphones. Unplug and plug in any again gave the same results. I waited a few minutes later headphones, then plugged back in. Surprisingly, I could finally hear audio and emulation of the screen has not frozen, but when I pressed on the record, the record got stuck on "0:00"- and when I pressed the stop button, it gave me an error message saying "unable to save" try save again. " I tried everything several times for a few hours and nothing has changed. Is there something I'm missing... ?

  (TL; DR) so I have to ask. Why play video recording of my iPod QuickTime audio perfectly, but when recording, I don't hear any audio through the headphones of my iPod at all? Audio output when recording is stopped.

  Sorry for the long message and thank you very much for reading and any help!

  Why play video recording of my iPod QuickTime audio perfectly, but when recording, I don't hear any audio through the headphones of my iPod at all? Audio output when recording is stopped.

  Your recording QT X settings say the iPod Touch to divert temporarily the iPod Touch audio pipeline (normally sent to the internal speaker/headphone port) to the Lightning-USB connector to connect to the application of QT X reader when recording. When the registration process is complete, the iPod Touch will automatically reconnect the audio pipeline diverted to the internal speaker/headphone port.

  

• Help, please! Problem in the use of http to call the url?

  Hello

  I develop application for Blackberry 8830, which is the cdma device. I want to develop the application that uses the http protocol to call url and gets the response. To use http everything I read there about 5-6 ways. But the only one that fits my needs is direct TCP. But my service provider in India i.e. Auntie Indidcom says that there can be no adjustments to the AFN for CDMA phones. What should I do now. I don't really know if that's the only problem.  I have this thread

  Different ways to connect with Http.

  There are six ways mentioned below: -.

  1 blackberry Enterprise Server with Blackberry MDS - I have Blackberry Enterprise server, so this is not possible.

  2. blackberry Internet Service - for this, the Alliance with the RIM so still no thuought on this subject.

  3 order TCP - do not get the APN settings

  4 WiFi network - I'm not network Wi - Fi is also to the equation.

  5. WAP Gateway - not looked into this yet.

  The only way I thought direct TCP, but it requires settings APN, but the message that I received from the people of Auntie, it's that the APN settings is supported for GSM based phones and not for CDMA phones. So is it possible, if yes, then please let me know, its urgency.

  Here is the code that I use for the connection.

  HttpConnection httpConnection = null;
              DataInputStream dis = null;

                  //sendMenuItem.setText("Message not send");
              }
          }
  

  If there is a problem in the code then let me know also. I could not test this even on the MDS do not work on simulator emulator. Look into that, but if its related to another question please let me know.

  Thank you & best regards

  Sunil

  The exception it throws in wrestling, will give you an idea about the problem.  I suspect something is wrong with your data, for example, you have specified HttpConnection.POST, but you provide no post data, so I think that you really wanted to say HttpConnection.GET.

  WAP 2.0 does not work on the Simulator.

  I recommend that you get your code work using the Simulator (i.e. ";) deviceside = true') until you are exposed to problems trying to connect on a real device.

• Help, please! problem with enhanced vmxnet adapter and Exchange 2003 VM

  Hello

  I recently changed internal NIC our Exchange Server 2003 computer flexible to vmxnet virtual improved, with recommendation of Scott Lowe to modify the *.vmx after taking the inventory server.

  I put the server in the inventory and restarted... then went in through the window / VIC and set a static IP address on Local 2 the new map of the NETWORK, as it was called.

  "I get this message from server: IP address, you have entered for this network adapter is already assigned to another adapter ' VMware Accelerated PCNet Adapter," then it goes on to say that it is hidden from network connections because it is not physically in the computer, there may be network problems and I would like to assign a different IP address... etc.

  Image is attached.

  I tried to do a repair of the VMware Tools, and he did install the vmxnet driver.

  What should I do to banish the network confiict etc. - it is causing people to not be able to use Outlook and disable RDP etc.

  Or how can I get rid of the AMD NIC reference? I don't see it in either Device Manager...

  Thank you!!

  PS Web access for Exchange behaves funny too - messages are sometimes sometimes they aren't - and a few times: "HTTP/1.1 503 Service unavailable" messages

  All this has happened after changing the NETWORK type card - there's no indication anywhere where something like this could happen.

  VMX list section of ethernet, perhaps the error is in the vmx file?

  ethernet0. Present = 'true '.

  ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet.

  ethernet0. Features = "15".

  ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "false".

  ethernet0.networkName = 'network of the VM.

  ethernet0. AddressType = 'vpx.

  Only the added lines were manually names and functions.

  I really need to get this resolved... maybe I should change back to soft?

  I'd be better off using the method KB VMware to change the NETWORK adapter that requires a change to the description of the OS?

• Help please! Problems with loading external swf files

  I'm scared, I'm new to both Adobe Flash and Actionscript 3.0.

  I'm trying to create a simple site using a couple of different external sovereigns loaded into a main swf file.

  For the moment, in the timeline panel, I have the following code in frame 1 of the layer actions:

  import flash.events.MouseEvent;

  Stop();

  navbutt.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, shownavbg);
  function shownavbg (myEvent:MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndPlay (10);
  }
  home_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, showhome);
  function showhome (myEvent:MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndPlay (66);
  }
  aboutme_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, showaboutme);
  function showaboutme (myEvent:MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndPlay (49);
  }
  gallery_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, showgallery);
  function showgallery (myEvent:MouseEvent): void {}
  gotoAndPlay (76);
  }

  var bgLoader:Loader = new Loader();
  stage.addChild (bgLoader);
  ("var url: URLRequest = new URLRequest("Background/sitebackground/Main.swf ");
  bgLoader.load (url);
  stage.setChildIndex (bgLoader, 0);

  Then, in the framework of 76, I have the following code:

  removeChildAt (0);
  bgLoader.unload ();

  In section 77:

  var galleryLoader:Loader = new Loader();
  stage.addChild (galleryLoader);
  var galleryurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test/ZenGalleryDemo.swf");
  galleryLoader.load (url);
  stage.setChildIndex (galleryLoader, 0);
  
  Stop();

  The idea is that, when the file is loaded, the 'sitebackground/Main.swf"flash loads on the stage. Then I want to delete this flash and load a different one when I click on the gallery_btn. So, when I click on the gallery_btn, he plays frame 76, theoretically unloading the Main.swf and the loading of the ZenGalleryDemo.swf in its place.

  For the moment, the Main.swf loads perfectly and works great. But when I click on the button to the Gallery, he jumps to the frame 76 and plays the Main.swf. It does not load the file ZenGalleryDemo.swf...

  If anyone has any ideas, I would be really grateful!

  Thanks in advance

  It's just a glance and reading, but the problem may lie between these two lines... look closely...

  var galleryurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test/ZenGalleryDemo.swf");
  galleryLoader.load (url);

  How much RAM you have on your system? (Right click on "My Computer"-> properties)

  As a general rule, Windows XP does not work well if you have less than 1 GB or more of RAM.  What usually happens is that your RAM capacity is exceeded leading to overflow on virtual memory (the drive) to compensate for the need of RAM in the computer.  This causes your system to beat on your hard drive and slow down your system.

  If this is your problem, the options are to increase the RAM on your system or decrease the non-essential programs that launch at startup on your computer using a tool like Autoruns.

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

• Try opening Windows Defender me gives error code: 0x800106ba - a problem caused this program service stop. Help, please.

  Hi all

  I am a newbie with doozy a bit of a problem:

  Services of Windows Defender on my local computer no longer works.  The message I get is:

  «Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x800106ba.» A problem caused this program service stop.  To start the service, restart your computer or search help and Support to find out how to start a service manually. »

  I restarted my computer nothing works.

  I followed the advice from another thread in the following way: go to the control panel > click on Administrative Tools > Services > Windows Defender properties > change initially > press on apply.  It seemed that he would work until the following message appeared:

  "The Windows Defender service on Local computer started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. »

  Any help, help, clarity on this issue...?

  Thank you very much! :]

  This problem can occur because another security application is used or the Windows Defender service has stopped, or components of Windows Defender are corrupt.

  You install any new programs recently? Windows Defender is not designed to protect against the extent of malware. If programs like Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG 9 and Windows Defender both run, your system may experience degradation in performance and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time. I recommend that you keep the Defender off if another application of security protection is running. These security software stop windows Defender work properly in order to prevent conflicts.

  If no similar security application is installed, I suggest that we have follow these steps to resolve the problem:

  Step 1: Check the Windows Defender service
  =================================
  1. click on start, in the search box, type: "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. double-click on the service "Windows Defender".
  3. click on the 'general' tab. Make sure the "Startup Type" is "automatic". Click on apply. Then please click on "Start" under "Status of Service" to start the service.

  If the problem is not resolved, please refer to step 2:

  Step 2: Save the associated DLL files
  ========================
  1. click on start, type "cmd" (without the quotes) in the box start the search. Right click on CMD listed above and click 'run as administrator '.

  2. in the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER to each order:

  regsvr32 atl.dll

  regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
  regsvr32 softpub.dll
  regsvr32 mssip32.dll

  3. close the command prompt, and then run Windows Defender.

• Problems with the closure, by opening the Task Manager and Norton Internet Security. Help, please!

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit). Until Monday, there is no problem whatsoever with my computer at all. I have not installed or uninstalled, whatever it be, changed settings, done anything differently with my computer. Suddenly it now "hangs" on the screen of closing down. I'll try to reboot or stop using the menu start, and it will stay on this screen indefinitely. Now, I have to manually turn off the computer. I spent on the Support page and studied the Performance issues, and all I get is I have Visual settings that interfere with closing... except my Visual settings have not changed in any way. In addition, I can not properly update my computer or do a system restore because the computer will shut down.

  In addition, the Task Manager will appear no more. I'll press ctrl alt del and nothing appears, just the green icon in the corner of the screen. If I try to right click, no response.

  I tried to do a full system scan in Norton Internet Security but she "leaves" scanning. It will scan correctly when I'm in safe mode, but it comes with no virus, trojan or other problem.

  So in essence, I tried everything I can think of to fix my computer nothing works. It was working perfectly before this week. I have no idea where to go. Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

   

   

  Method 1.
  First check to see if there are external devices attached to the computer, if so remove and check.

   

  Method 2.

  Step A.

  Start your computer in safe mode and check if it starts.

  Troubleshooting in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshooting-problems-while-in-safe-mode

   

  Step B.

  If it starts on the desktop in safe mode and then set your computer to the clean boot and check if it starts successfully. If it starts successfully can be a third-party application or service is causing the problem. We can use the approach 50 / 50 to narrow down the root cause of the problem.

  
  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
  Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.

   

   

  Method 3.
  I recommend to run the restore of the system in safe mode and check if it works very well.
  Reference:
  System Restore: frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions
  Note: If you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you can not undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point if any.

   

   

  I hope this helps.

  other settings in the control panel - mouse.

  What has changed just before this started happening? Add anything? New startup program
  or update antivirus and security or other?

  Some systems have shortcut keys that control the way which responds the touchpad, check with the manufacturer of the system.

  Try reinstalling the drivers for the touchpad.

  Try to use a clean boot to see if that stops the problem.

  Autoruns - free - see what programs are configured so that it starts automatically when
  your system boots and you connect. Autoruns also shows you the complete list of the registry
  and where applications can configure Auto-start for the files settings.

• Can Windows Update problem, anyone help please?

  Hi, I have a toshiba laptop, it was for a month now, no problem, a windows 7.

  Put in service today as I normally do, but instead of the normal start screen, I see just a blue image with a flower on it and what appearance aircraft vapour trails.

  In the middle of the screen is: ' if please do not turn off or unplug your machine. Installing up-to-date 138 149... "

  At the bottom of the screen is: the Windows symbol, like a small flag with 4 colors and «Windows7» professional

  To the left of the image is the rotating circle device that indicates something is in charge.

  Now it is in the correct state for six hours. I can not turn off the computer, I have no control of the mouse, no keyboard control, I can't restart, I can not close, it is completely locked in this State.

  I would add that at no time have I asked for updates or tried to install a.

  Can someone help please, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you very much

  KeV.

  It's Windows 7 Windows Update performs its task.  It's an unusually long period.  This happens sometimes.  Although it clearly states "do not turn off your computer", it is exactly what you have to do.  Press and hold the button until the computer is silent.  Then restart.  99% of the time, the system recovers itself.  You will see some things on the screen that you don't normally see.  If you are asked, you want a Normal startup.
