I have an Apire one laptop with Windows xp service pace 3. I had to restore it to factory about 3 years ago. Some time after that the sound system began to slow and the Synaptics mouse stop working properly. I can move the pointer, but the left click does not work. It works in safe mode but not in normal windows. I used the Acer eRecovery for correct, but it did not work. I tried to download the driver for the mouse on the internet, but some how it could stop the download. I gave up at tring to fix. Some time in late March or early April, I couldn't access internet and after 22:30. I ran the diagnosis that is provided by internet explore and he said that the HTTP and HTTPS worked but the FTP did not work. AVG later told me my firewall is disabled and there was the possibility to reactivate it and I did. After internet explore stop allowing you to enter certain sites that I wanted to enter, I ran the Diagnostics again and he told me that a firewall client has been the cause of the problem. I tried to control my firewall setting, but had that "due to a problem not identified, windows cannot display the firewall settings". I thought AVG was the problem, so I have unintalled then he returned and attempted to access the firewall but got the same message. I typed in Google MySapce and found this site. I followed a few directions given to others in the thread started by joecarpenter33 and discovered that my firewall has been deleted and Base filtering engine has been deleted also. I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes ANti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and tdsskiller. MBAM has found a Trojan. The results of the analysis is less to:

I tried to send a large amount of photos using Outlook Express. The message is stuck in the outlet box. It will not send it, I can't move or delete it. Any ideas?
Check: File | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. Can delete you it now?
Otherwise:
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
In Windows XP, 2K & 2K 3, files from user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
With OE closed, find the DBX the Outbox.dbx file and delete it. A new vacuum will be created automatically when you open OE.

Hello. How can I watch DVD movies on my new iMac?
Hello.. How can I watch DVD movies on my new iMac?
You need to buy an external DVD drive. Apple made one, or you can buy a third-party DVD player. Amazon has many others and OWC (www.macsales.com) have too many choices.
iMacs have not included DVD players with them for the years also remember, you can only watch regular DVDs. If the movies are Blue Ray, OS X will not support, in other words Blue Ray is not visible unless you buy a Blue Ray software.

Wiping hard drive, lost Dell Home Media, can not watch DVD
I paid a computer tech to fix my laptop froze. He said I had bad sectors on the hard disk. He my data backed up and deleted from my hard drive. It has recharged my data but my Inspiron 6400 came with a disc of reloading. Instead, there was a picture of a disk of reloading giving a Web site to go to if things had to be reloaded. I gave this address to him, but now wonder if he used it or not. I can't figure out how to get Dell Media without paying for it. I loaded the Windows Media Player 11 and InterActual player and I can't watch the DVD of one or the other. I think that I don't have correct display drivers? If anyone can help with this, I would really appreciate it. All I want to do is watch DVD - nothing complicated!
Thank you

A week ago I watched a dvd on my laptop. Although I had problems, such as; I would put the dvd but nothing would happen and when I went to my computer, drive E would show that it doesn't have a dvd in drive E. I want to restart my pc and it works finally. However today, I can't even drive to open it and when I go to my computer, I don't have an E-reader display (only C and D drives are now). I closed and removed the battery for several minutes to reset (that's what I did before to operate).
I am at a loss... Please help.Thank youKW1957Hi Kathy,

Satellite A200 - 13 M: I can't play a DVD protected by Securom
Hello!
I have a Satellite A200 - 13 M with a drive TSST TS - L632D DVD (Firmware TO-04) and Windows Vista.
I can't play a DVD protected by securom.I made an update to Vista, my PC BIOS, but it still does not work.
If I use an external DVD drive, I have no problem to read DVD protected by securom.
I don't know what to do to solve this problem. She seems to have no update of firmware for this DVD player/burner.Help!
Michel
Hello
I have no similar experiences, but please check if the service called "Securom Services" is active. I'm sure it must be deleted somewhere in the registry.
In another forum I found something very interesting. Maybe he can help you. Check it out.
+ Crash day - and a warning +.
January 27, 2006+ Atari has released a playable demo of a game called Day of Crash. It is similar to Need for Speed: Most Wanted in many ways, but the goal is to destroy the other cars to missiles and miniguns, or do crazy stunts. It's very fun and seem to have some potential - see my screenies, thoughts and tweaks in this thread. +
+ Now, here is the part of the warning. Without wanting to be too dramatic, Crash day demo uses SecuROM copy protection system. It is very annoying and may cause problems on your computer. You can avoid the installation of the demo, or if you install it and then eventually want to uninstall and remove SecuROM, including "SecuROM User Access" Service, it installs under Windows, follow these steps: +.
+ 1. Uninstall the game as usual. +
+ 2. Manually remove the game directory (usually \Program Files\Atari\Crashday-+ demo\)
+ 3. Go to start > run and type "Services.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. +
+ 4. Access the "Securom User Access" Service, double click on it, click on stop and then set Disabled. +
+ 5. Navigate to the \Windows\System32\ directory and delete the file UAService7.exe. +
+ 6. Go to start > run and type 'sc delete useraccess7' (without the quotes) and press ENTER. +
+ Note: Ce Service can be re-created by one of your other SecuROM games, in which case you will have to work to play. +
+ The following steps are very risky and only to those who is certain none of their currently installed games use or need of SecuROM: +.
+ 7. Go to \Documents and Settings\All Users Data\ and remove the SecuROM subdirectory. +
+ 8. Go to start > run and type "Regedit" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. Then find the + * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SecuROM * + key and delete it if possible. +

Can not watch the program to watch DVDs and flash videos
I have two laptops from Toshiba one problem in each.
(* 1) * on the older Satellite (M40-276) with XP I have the following problem, I can watch Flash videos online, but I can't watch them downloaded in the computer (although the dowload is correct). I have two readers flash, QuickTime and Real Player.
Used to work but fine * after you have reinstalled Windows * longer steps.
(* 2) * in the new Toshiba Satellite L500D (13 H) with Windows 7, I would like to know if I can use the program to watch DVDs that allowed faster and more slowly, watch one (slow motion look at a for example), and where can I download it, this program came with the Satellite (M40-276).
My new DVD player works fine, but I prefer the old form of program around 2005 (had a small turtle to symbolize the alternative of idle).
Thank you!
HELLO chocolate,
It appears that you met with computers laptop Toshiba. You're not alone, I have also two portable Toshiba and in my opinion, they have a good quality and competent service.
With regard to your problems:
(1) to watch flash videos, you need of special codes or player I think. I also stocked up flash videos on my computer (.flv) and so I use VLC media player to watch them. It can play most audio and video files for all media player! :)
Check this box!(2) in theory, it should be possible to use an older DVD player program, but in this case, I also recommend VLC media player.
It s worth a try!
