    Hello

    As you ask here, you don't have a recovery disk.

    Here's how to access the Dell recovery hard disk partition and put your computer about how you bought.

    ATTENTION: All your data and programs that you have installed will be wiped from the drive hard as you do this. so back up your data. Programs will need to be reinstalled.

    How can I disconinue sharing of any kind on my acer laptop for win 7/64 home premium?  I want to share anything with anyone.

    Hi rhagland,

    To prevent files or sharing folders do the following:

    (a) open computer management. To do this, click Start, then right click on computerand then click Manage.

    (b) if the user account control dialog box appears, confirm that the displayed action corresponds to what you want, and then click Yes.

    (c) in the console tree, click System Tools, click shared folders, and then click share.

    (d) in the Details pane, right-click on a shared folder and then click stop sharing (this option appears only if you started the computer management by using a member of the local Administrators group account).

    To stop sharing multiple files, press CTRL while clicking the file names, right-click one of the selected files and then click stop sharing. This removes access network shared files selected.

  • Im trying to open the tutorial of 23 minutes on how to use different tools in photoshop and it continues to come with unable to resolve the DNS servers worked fine yesterday? Ive had creative cloud on my laptop for a week and still have not been able t

    Im trying to open the tutorial of 23 minutes on how to use different tools in photoshop and it continues to come with unable to resolve the DNS servers worked fine yesterday? Ive had creative cloud on my laptop for a week and not yet able to get past the basics make me very frustrated.

    I guess you meant the links when you open photoshop CC. I tested all four videos of the 23 min tutorial and they all played fine. If something between you and adobe does not work correctly.

    • Check that your firewall is blocking the net. Try to access youtube videos and see if they play very well
    • Go to the adobe tv site and try to play one of the videos here. Adobe TV
    • If youtube plays very well and adobe tv does not work, next is to check if you have flash installed. Some videos require flash, others are html 5. Sorry that I could not confirm what player has been used for this tutorial. I think that html 5 but not sure.
    • Next is to look at the properties of your browser and check multimedia settings are not disabled if it y in a. (this is totally dependent on the browser)

    If none of this helps, let us know.

  • How can I pay for a Netflix membership?

    Right...

    I have an Apple TV: a fourth generation, complete with a few apps.

    I usually rent movies and buy albums.   Generally?   I pay for it with credit that I have loaded on my account, by exchanging an iTunes gift card.

    I THINK I have the Netflix app: to increase access number of movies and TV shows that I watch.   But I'm not clear on how it is paid for.

    Netflix would take money from the credit on my account?   Or could it be that I have to pay with my credit card?

    None of the individual bits I've seen on the site of Netflix seems to be clear.   Any help would be appreciated.

    Netflix works exactly like all of your other purchases on the iTunes Store. All purchases and subscriptions through Apple and all this payment method that you have configured in your account. With subscriptions, it is better to put in place credit card, if your payments are deducted automatically, so you don't have to watch your balance.

  • How to replace battery for RTC for Satellite M70-122?

    I have a portable Satellite M70-122 and it sews there is a problem with the battery RTC (BIOS) that he loses all the settings. I took it for the Department of service here in Thessaloniki in Greece and they told me the battery is stuck to the main Board and I have to buy a new laptop instead.

    Does anyone has an idea on how to change the battery of the CCF (BIOS)?

    Hello

    In many cases (also for the M70 Sat) battery RTC is soldered on the motherboard. In this case it cannot be replaced

    The RTC battery provides the power to keep the current date, time and other configuration information in memory, while the computer is turned off. The RTC battery is charged by the adapter or the main battery while the computer is on.
    So theoretically if the RTC battery is empty, you could load it again to connect the AC adapter and execution of the laptop for about 24 hours.

    Go to the HP support website and search for the latest drivers Windows XP for your specific model number, then what are on the CD when you first bought the laptop. http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/support.html

    How can you tell if the CD contains the latest drivers. A simple method is to compare the date of your purchase with the date listed on the site of HP drivers. All dated driver after you bought the laptop is more than likely newer than what's on the CD.

    If there is recent Windows XP update/more drivers, then download the latest drivers to a folder on your hard drive (create a folder and name itdrivers HP). Then install each beginning driver by the card mother/chipset, SATA, LAN, Audio, drivers, and so on.

    If it appears that HP has their website isn't is more recent than what you have on the CD, and then use the CD.

  • Laptop for the work of the University

    Hello

    I'm on the purchase of a new laptop. So far, my favorites are the following two:

    http://www.Dell.com/ch/p/configuration-compare.aspx?ReturnUrl=http%3A%2f%2Fwww.Dell.com%2Fch%2Fp%2Fdeals%2Fclearance-deals

    (I hope this link works)

    I have a few questions on my mind:
    How much better / faster is the processor of Gen 6th to the 5th generation?
    If I googled them (and check ark.intel.com) data may not be very good. but it's just numbers. What about performance? What's much faster? or I'm better with 8 GB of additional RAM?

    I use it almost exclusively to the University - which means that I sometimes dozens of PDF and MS Word files open at the same time. If I understand it the RAM is more important when it comes to 'multitasking '?

    Sometimes, I also play games. But I'm no high-end gaming on my laptop. but I've done before on my desk. That's why I'm used to a fast computer / laptop. I want my laptop to be quick (which is my only real is not more...)

    Thanks for your comments!

    BTW I wonder also if it might make sense to buy a laptop with Windows 10 directly rather then buy one with 8.1 and Windows 10 upgrade Windows? the upgrade already slow or if it makes no difference?

    Hi LorinBardric,

    The 6th generation will be the most recent version and maybe a little better than 5th. Usually there will be not much difference. You'll be better off with more ram. 8 gig will be fine. RAM is important for virtually everything you do on a computer.

    You better buy with Windows 10, so all programs are already in place and everything works together as it should. If you have Windows 8.1 and upgrade, you get all the Dell updates for the hardware and software.

    This should be good for the play of light, just keep in mind this isn't a designated game machine. Alienware line are the big gaming machines.

    Looks like you have chosen a good laptop for school and general use.

    How to change laptop screen between landscape and portrait?

    I have an ACER ASPIRE 5335 running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit and using the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator driver who pointed out that I use the Chipset Intel 4 Series Express.

    I tried the things:

    2: Control Panel/display/resolution/Advanced Settings - tab Intel -Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel /Options and support/Hotkey Manager - the value of the Hotkey - active (worked with Vista) feature no change

    4: right-click and open Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel /Options and support/Hotkey Manager - the value of the Hotkey - active (worked with Vista) feature no change

    Help please,

    The man from FarAway

    Windows does not include hardware drivers or a screen rotation capabilities.  As your hardware or the hardware driver software does not change, it may indicate that you must reinstall the software, perhaps with a more recent version, you can do it from the manufacturer's website.  Alternatively, because the function doesn't do not part of the Windows operating system, you need to contact Acer support.
