    I think I bought the latest version of Airport Extreme.  It is the unit which is rectangular, is about 6 to 7 w., etc.  I have some basic questions that I do not understand:

    1. How will I know if I have the latest firmware for this device?  I read a few posts that make it sound as if it was just automatically updates.  Is this true?

    2. can someone tell me how to change the password used to connect to my wireless network?

    Thank you very much!

    Look for the Version

  • How will I know if my new laptop has Windows 8 Pro

    I bought two Dell systems.  One was the M6700 I knew had top Windows 8 Pro and I installed Media Center with the Microsoft product key sent to me.  I went back to the system due to SIGNIFICANT and costly Pro Tech support.  After 26 days, they refused to fix the screen would dim every 3 minutes, saying: "if he wasn't a yellow bang in Device Manager it was not their problem.  The last day, I accidentally found a Dell program that controlled the graphic setting called color Dell Premier.  I decided to go back to the workstation even though it was a great system.  I didn't look forward to 3 years technical support useless and frustrating to a value of $350.

    A month later, I bought an Alienware technical support personnel system is so much better.  I worked with them for years and never had the problems I had with the support of Corp.

    Since it has been a month and I had just finished a factory on the M6700 system restore, I felt that I would have been able to use the product key for the Media Center.  However after working with a Microsoft Tech today for an hour. He seemed to feel that the Media Center button would not work on this system for two possible reasons. 1. what it cannot be Pro Windows 8 or 2. The key somehow was not removed from the M6700 after the factory restore.

    So before having any contact with Pro support, I would like to know how I can tell if this system or does not have Windows 8 Pro.  I don't remember if the Windows 8 Pro showed in the system information report.  Or if she could be considered under control panel - system.  I tried to run the update on the upgrade assessment and who has failed for some reason, saying: it was not available in my country.  What is the United States.  It seems that the system is configured for which English is the language.  Given that I didn't get through a full installation of Windows as if I installed the program as you would if it was Windows 7 system comes through a Microsoft Agreement which I checked and then configure the network online and I logged on.  I was not even given the opportunity to choose the name of system I need to change.

    I'm a little lost at this stage to say the least.  If Microsoft technology could not tell if it is Windows 8 Pro, do not want to assume that the OEM support would be.

    I have the disc that came with the M6700 and I it matched with the disc that came with this system.  Both drives have the same part number and both claim it's for Windows 8 Recovery Media for Windows 8 products.

    So it is a Question of two parts:

    1. How will I know if I have installed Windows 8 Pro &

    2. How can I get my product key Media Center back?

    Thank you for your support.

  • How will I know if my Windows XP has a virus?

    He tries to stop after the first two loading screens and I'm trying to see if a virus is the reason why.

    If you think that your computer has a virus, it is important to know if you have a real or whether it is another problem. There are telltale signs that may indicate whether or not you have a virus. Look and listen to find out if you regularly the following types of questions; Then, you can resolve your virus if you have an and recover your computer to good health. If you don't have such problems, consider other troubleshooting
     
    Looking for obvious changes. Look to see if there are changes to your desktop, your Favorites or in how your computer behaves in general. If your desktop icons have moved or if something has been added to your desktop, it's a sign that you have a virus. Look in the "Add/Remove Programs" section of the control panel and see if there are any programs that you forgot to install. Often a virus will install other programs that cause problems. If you have a new toolbar in your web browser, it is another sign that you may have a virus.

    Disconnect from the Internet. If your computer behaves differently when you are connected to the Internet, it is another sign that you have a virus. One of the main objectives of many viruses is to steal the resources of your computer. When you're not online, a person at the other end is not able to get to your resources.

    Check your speed. One of the ways to know if you have a virus if your computer is running more slowly. Sometimes, the computer will run just a little slow, but after having a virus for some time the computer will become extremely slow in all this. Disconnected from the Internet can speed up your computer, but with the malicious virus, that it may not matter if you are connected to the Internet - virus will use your resources just to cause you problems.

     
    Beware of errors. If you get strange errors or just more errors that do things like close your programs or you to restart your computer, there is a good chance that you have a virus. Sometimes the errors are normal, but they shouldn't happen constantly. Keep a log of when you get errors, what you were doing when it happened and how the error was.

    Listen for the noise. If your computer is a lot of cracking noises accessing the drive hard if you do nothing, then it is probably controlled by a virus or a person who set up the virus. Most of the time when you are not using your computer it shouldn't do anything.

    Inspect your security software. Check if your anti-virus, firewall software or updates of Windows have been changed or disabled. If you have security, but it is not up to date or not good enough, a virus to disable the software to give and other viruses more access

  • My security has been breached. Someone, send e-mails under my name to my contacts.

    I have already addressed this problem on the forum once before and received an answer telling me to change my password, I have already done. Tonight I received complaints from two of my friends who received messages today. These emails are send to everyone on my contact list be it a person or a company.  I need help!

    Hello

    Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

    It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
    account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
    were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
    who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
    NOT only the answer to the address.

    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

  • How will I know if my Office Pavillion has a wireless card

    I can not configure a wireless Airport Express on my S5000 pavillion desktop router.

    Hello:

    You will need access to cable/dsl internet via an internet service (ISP) provider (comcast, Charter, AT & T, etc.).

    Then you need with the modem that installs the internet service provider or you buy and install them is a wireless router.

    You can have the ISP provide or you can buy a wireless modem/router combination.

    You can then connect your devices to wireless internet.  You can plug in your new desktop PC to the router with an ethernet cable. Most routers allow at least 4 connections via an ethernet cable.

    If your PC is going to be by far where they install the modem/router, then you can buy an adapter USB wireless for less than $50 and your desktop to connect to the wireless also.
