How do you solve the problem when you get "There is an IP address conflict"?

How do you solve the problem when you get "There is an IP address conflict"?

How can someone else have a computer with the same IP address?  Is this possible?  How do you get them?  Thank you

I recvd a phone call yesterday telling me I had a computer at risk with the help of the same IP address or ID in China.  I thought it was a hoax.  They said they came from Microsoft, but when I tried to recall today, there was a message stating that the Group was not available.  Then I get on my computer and get the label "there is an IP address conflict" and I panic, what happens if someone in China is using my computer?  How can I stop this?  I ran antivirus and anything analyses.    Help, please?

To resolve IP conflicts restart all computers, peripheral and the router at the same time.  Chances are it will fix

Microsoft (or any other reliable service)'ll never call you cold.  They have no idea if your computer is in danger, a virus or anything else.  Calls are cold almost always a scam.

    If you set an alternate e-mail address, you can reset your security questions. Follow the instructions here to check if this option is available:

    If you use a perpetual Photoshop and formatted your disc version of starting without disabling your activation of Photoshop, you also Adobe supports help you activate Photoshop once you retrieve your serial number.  The startup disk formatting would destroy that credential of Activation Photoshop machine which is registered in the database of the Adobe activation server. Which reduces the activation numbers you have to use.  If you have Photoshop installed on a second computer that means that you have no free activation available as well, even with your key you can't activated the machine.

  • I have replaced my hd, reinstalled the operating system, but you forgot to activate vista. How can I solve the problem?

    After that my hd, I decided to replace it as well as reinstall Vista Home Basic using the system recovery disk, that I bought at HP in 2007. My laptop is a pavilion dv6000 with Vista 32 bit.

    Unfortunately I didn't, I had to turn my copy of vista on my pc within 30 days, since I got my pc sometimes without incurring in this issue. I tried to insert the cd in the back of my pc key, but to understand that no longer works, so I tried with the new cd key of my drive to restore but that no longer works.

  • How can I solve the problem of slow computer or what nested steps I need to take more things that I mention below to slow computer speed?

    Hello

    I know that for your computer to start faster, you can disable in msconfig certain applications or auto-start services

    I also know that to make your computer faster to do a virtual and half larger than the memory size, more you will need to start it and the value of the same size virtual memory, for example start value 3000 end value3000.

    I know also some malicious spyware can slow down your computer.

    In addition, you can add more memory to mke your computer more fast, your drive hard must be empty of 25%.

    In addition to these things I mentioned before nested thing wat do I check to solve the problem of slow computer?

    can you give me some?

    Thank you

    Johan

    The size of the virtual memory required will depend on the type of requests and is influenced by the installed physical memory. The 1.5 times value really applies to computers with a limited amount of ram and the use of virtual will decrease with an increase in physical (but remove never virtual memory altogether) while Shawn says investigate fitting over RAM.

    Setting the pagefile identical to max and min values will reduce fragmentation but was so moving to a less actively used by car.

    The largest suites 'internet security' may have much more impact than the plain simple AV (that's why I use MSE).

    By far the biggest kick in performance should be move to the SSD, it reduces by half my boot time.

    If a desktop computer fits a discreet graphics card, she discharge the graphic CPU and restores memory used.

    As well as Msconfig, check the contents of the process in the Task Manager tab. Most will be perfectly legitimate, but you can identify the odd thief of uninstalled programs.

    NOT tempted by claims of speed countless programs available. Rarely, they make a significant difference and can do serious damage.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    No error message? Nothing at all?

    And you do that through LINK?

    Therefore, here are some recommendations:

    Official methods, which will be controlled as to what exact OS versions are available:

    Unofficial methods, which are cleaner and allow you to choose any version of the OS you want, including older versions (if those who prove to be more stable for you) as well as those who may be your carrier (or anyone they control your offers) delays in approval:

    Of course, before you start this, you want a good backup link, a manual copy of the memory of your device to your PC and complete documentation of your configuration (identification information of account, adding applications, configurations, etc.). Sometimes, restoring a backup returns unit corruption even, must be eliminated and reconfiguration from scratch can solve that.

    Be aware of the risks of 10.3.2 however... There are two things to worry about. First of all, be 100% sure that you know (and confirm) your BBID powers... If you do not, you may make your useless device to anyone, including yourself. Second, once you move to 10.3.2, you cannot fall back to 10.3.1 or earlier, by any medium (for example, even the unofficial AutoLoaders can not overcome this restriction anti-secours).

    Good luck!

  • I can not watch videos on my pc, how can I solve the problem.

    When I go to You Tube any of the videos will show, it is a black space.

    Hello

    1 is this number reserved only to online videos?
    2. what internet browser do you use?

    Method 1.
    Try to play another video on youtube and check.

     
    Method 2.
    Given that most online videos require Adobe flash to work I suggest you install Adobe Flash player in Internet Explorer.
    I recommend you update Adobe flash player on the website below:
    http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/
     
    Method 3.
    a. If the problem persists, you can optimize Internet Explorer.
    See the link below for more information.
    How to optimize Internet Explorer?
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936213
     
    b. If nothing works to solve the issue try reset Internet Explorer.
    How to reset Internet explorer:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737
    Note: After resetting Internet explorer you will need to install the Adobe flash again.
    WARNING:
    Please note that reset the settings of Internet Explorer running resets all of the settings defined by the user, including those established by the installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons for IE by default. This includes all the security, privacy and settings area. Also this will erase browsing history, delete all temporary Internet, cookies, form data files and especially all the passwords.
