• We tried to help a friend fix his computer remotely. His computer is no longer ends the boot sequence in Windows.

  We tried to help a friend fix his computer remotely. Basically, we have tried everything we can find online on fixing his problem starting on his HP Pavilion. The machine came with preloaded VISTA and no associated cd. Each repair or restoration option circles on itself bring back us into the same menu screens. We tried to fix boot managers, etc., but its always the same thing, even when you try to boot from disk we sent him. The system recognizes only shape any of Vista is installed because of the images/graphics; However, it does not list an operating system being installed in the system menu of repair repair. Thoughts?

  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.

• After the upgrade to 3.6 my FlashDrive falls down while I'm playing Farmville. I tried to update the flash player. I tried to restart the computer. Nothing works.

  Last night, my system was still using Firefox 3.5.8. I played Farmville on Facebook and everything worked well. This morning, I connect to my computer and find that I upgraded to Firefox 3.6. I tried to play Farmville all morning and Adobe Flash Player continues to break. I tried to update Flash Player. I tried to restart the computer. Nothing works.

  URL of affected sites

  http://Facebook.com

  Another potential cause of this problem is that the lock timeout is set too low:

  1. Select the address bar of Firefox (click or press CTRL + L)
  2. Type of topic: config and press enter
  3. Click on I'll be careful, I promise!
  4. in the filter box, type dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs
  5. Double-click the setting and change the number.

  The default number is 10, for a default timeout of 10 seconds. Some games Flash can be slow and requires a higher setting. I would recommend to change that to 20 if you have problems with this.

  In addition, it would really help if people who encounter this problem let us know what games Flash is slow - and as soon as they are slow. Thank you!

• Last automatic update windows tried to kill my computer...

  The only thing installed yesterday was an update automatic windows vista. I turned off my laptop, and when I got home I tried to start it up. Windows wouldn't start in normal mode, so I booted in safe mode, scanned with my antivirus, antimalware... etc... and found nothing. So, I used the system recovery and put the laptop on the eve of thinking maybe something strange was snuck in. It worked fine, so I thought it was good. I created a new poin of recovery, re-installed upgrading windows and close.
  He walks this morning to find that he had the same problem. I started back in safe mode, reused the system recovery and used the recovery point that I had put just before I downloaded the updates of windows and now everything works fine. I have disabled the automatic updates and I have not had problems since.
  Does anyone know why the Windows Update tries to kill my computer? The Auto-mises to day running all the time and I've never had this problem before.

  Any help or advice is appreciated. Thank you.

  Merydeth,
  If you are still having this problem and have not updated your system then here are a few things to try.  First of all, make sure that your system is free from any infection malware\virus.  If you do not have an up-to-date antivirus program and then take a look at this article: get rid of the malware , it has lots of good info on the programs to try.  Then, you go through Windows Update and install updates one at a time to determine that perhaps there was a problem.  Post back with the update and we can discuss more later.

  Method 2: You can reinstall Visual C++ Library Runtime components.

• Trying to connect a computer to the lan port Aiport Express "auto assigned IP address"

  I am trying to connect a computer to the lan on my Airport Express port. In preferences, it says "status: connected, Ethernet has an assigned IP address and won't be able to connect to the internet." Any suggestions?

  An "auto assigned" IP address indicates that your computer could not find or negotiate with a DHCP server to obtain an IP address appropriate for network access.

  It should be more on your network to provide assistance if you need it. For example, is the terminal of AirPort Express the only router in the current configuration of your network? What exact model do? What is the brand and model of your modem Internet?
