  • need help on history, recycle bin and cookies: how will I know what someone has done on my laptop?

    I would like to learn more about history on my computer vista laptop microsoft and more on maybe the trash and or cookies. For example, someone else used my laptop last night and delete everything that he was looking at or for then how can I know what it was?

    Assuming that it has not been removed, you can view the history of visited web sites by clicking on the Favorites button, click the history tab.

    The only things in the trash are files or folders that have been removed from the system (no evidence they have been read or something like that).

    Cookies will not tell you anything either because they are terms in the code and you can not tell what web site they belong - no good for tracking not web history (and they apply only to the history of the web).

    You can view the Start / recent items to display some of the files which were recently seen (assuming that the list has not been removed).  That may help some.  You can also go to C:\Users\\Recent for a longer list of recently accessed files (as long as you know the user name).

    There is actually very little that you can do with hindsight to see what anyone seen or done on your computer.

    If you want to implement such a procedure, use the Parental http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Set-up-Parental-Controls control and activity reports control Parentalhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Set-up-Parental-Controls-activity-reports.  Do this for each account you want to track.  Then you can check what you wish now that you could check.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How will I know what ink cartridges are low?

    I have a photosmart b210. How do I know what color cartridge becomes weak? been all over the apps through the screens of the printer and cannot find it ANYWHERE! help, please!

    Hi Shinski_lynch,

    What a nice printer.

    He should ask on the front if the ink is low, but you can also follow these steps to see if you are running low on ink.

    • Menu configuration (it looks like a key on the front panel)
    • Click on 'tools '.
    • Then click on "Display Ink Level".
    • That displays the ink of your printer.

    Please let us know if that solved your problem.

  • How do I know what motherboard I have service tag

    I have a number of computers dell, optiplex 380. 780 and 7 optiplex 760 upgrade the processor with four cores, if possible, but I find that each model has 2 motherboard ' possibilities, how do find out what motherboard, I have the service tag, and if they can take the quad cores. As I understand it a motherboard can take single core dual cpu and motherboard, it is possible to upgrade to a quad core cpu

    There is no such thing as serial number based on the motherboard.  Serial numbers are unique.

    SFF and USFF power supplies tend to be too small.

    The NDP or DELL of the Board part NUMBER is on THE Board of DIRECTORS and is not connected either to the

    SERVICE TAG which is the same as the serial number.

    Carrots or not is TOTALLY NOT related to the service tag Associates to the power supply and other factors.

  • How do I know what hardware I have in my dv4t?

    I have a Pavilion dv4t-4100 and the hard drive crashed. I installed a new hard drive and the OS, but I don't know what drivers I need to download for my network adapter, and other hardware components where there are several choices of drivers and components on download drivers support page.

    I hope that there is a way to determine what material I disassemble my laptop.

    Or maybe I could just download all the drivers and Windows will choose the good ones for the various hardware components?

    Thanks for any help!

    We would need your specific model number to provide you with information about your hardware, unless you can give us a little more information. Do you have what version of Windows installed? 64 or 32-bit? You can try Windows Update and it will usually provide achievable drivers for the majority of the components or you can simply open the Device Manager and find all devices with errors (unmanned) and view the ID of the hardware for each and we will connect you to the drivers. It shows how to find the hardware ID in Windows 7 Device Manager:

    http://www.technize.info/3-ways-to-find-unknown-device-drivers-in-Windows/

    Post back with the device ID and we'll find you drivers.
