• My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?

  My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?

  I can't block emails from myself, I sometimes need to send things, so I got them at a later date.

  I know that I can view the source of the message, but I just want to stop this garbage that runs through for me.

  Can anyone help?

  There is not really a way to do it.  Just like you cannot block spam from your mailbox home - anyone can send you mail and anyone can use a false address 'return' that makes it look like it came from you.

  In fact, it is incredibly easy (only 10 letters typed) to send an e-mail that looks like it comes President @ whitehouse.gov.  That's how spammers do, because there is no check on email (I wish the people who invented the email 40 years ago had thought of that), but it is not just.

• How do I disable touch mouse on Dell Vostro 1500 with Vista? _ I use a logitech mouse.

  Cursor seems to jump all over the screen when I type. Causes

  Hello

  Mouse configuration panel - look for the TouchPad settings - perhaps under the parameters of the device and your own tab
  may be different (it is NOT the Scrollings tab which is for the mouse). On some, you can activate
  and disable scrolling and/or define the size of the area and the sensitivity of the touchpad.

  Some will have a TouchPad progam/control icon in the Notification area near the clock-
  at the bottom right.

  Some models also have quick access to toggle the touchpad keys.

  It was reported a problem with Dell Touchpads too sensitive - check with
  Dell support and forums for known issues.

  Did you pay for Office (including Excel) in a packaging separated when you bought your computer?

  Office is not included with your purchase of computer for free.

  Most new computers come with a trial version of Office that lets 'x' number of days usuage.

  After this test times out, you will have to buy Office.

  And the product key on the computer case or laptop for the operating system, not for the desktop Suite.

• Laptop with Vista black screen of death (KSOD) at startup. How can I fix it?

  For a few hours I have really searched the internet for this problem.

  To start, my Dell Inspiron 1521 supplied with Windows Vista Home Premium (just thought that might be important, apologies if it isn't.)

  A month ago my Inspiron had a problem where I would sign and everything works fine until the... I login and see that my normal wallpaper is now a blank screen, all my shortcut on my desktop icons are gone except for the good old bin recycling and the flashy chrome, taskbar and ORB blue Windows for the Start button has been completely reduced to a dull old menu like you would see on an earlier version of Windows to start Windows. When it happened first, he attaches magically by restarting it. The last time however, I was almost tempted to reformat my hard drive together to solve this problem, because the magic restart did not work this time. I finally found improvement and finally, he started to work again when I went in the area of network in my Start Menu and makes a sort of scanning that fixed my problems (the reason I did it was because I received a pop up when I logged indicating that the disk is not found or that the network was having problems (is not found etc, so I thought that the network in my Start Menu was where I should have started.)

  It was a month ago, it is not my problem now, but I thought that let you on that because I have the feeling that two problems is perhaps related, I felt that it would be unwise to leave something like that out.

  Now, just yesterday I closed my game (Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, high chart!) because he was turning slowly. Once I rebooted, the PC shows the Dell logo and then the Windows screen with the loading bar green scroll. After that, my PC was just a black screen with only my small cursor to entertain me while I waited for over 45 minutes so he can do something. Nothing happened, and it happened yesterday, I was still not able to reach my login screen.

  I have internet but I'm terrible with computers and the only progress I've done, it is that I learned that a lot of PC with Vista have this problem and it's called the KSOD (BlacK S Of Death creen). That's all

  So what I really wonder is... Can someone please explain to me how to solve this problem or what I should do... and there, explain it as if you were talking to a 6 year old? :)

  Try and do a system restore before your problem:

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Looks like you have had problems for some time, which makes it harder to diagnose.

  If you can't fix it, you could do a system recovery.

  But back UP all your data before trying that.

  Here's how Dell it:

  Dell recovery options:

  It's way to Dell to reinstall from the DVD on your computer.

  Answer the questions in blue; It is in a sequence.

  And that way if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive.

• How - where - to disable the touchpad in Vista?

  I am running Vista on a laptop Sony VGN-FZ290 and have scoured these forums for the location of a pad touchscreen selector switch, nothing happens.

  -There is nothing in either of the tabs under the mouse-> properties of the mouse that relates to the touch pad;

  -There is no results for the search of everything about "SCR";

  -In the Device Manager under "mice and other pointing devices-> Alps Pointing-device for VAIO--> Driver", the button disable is... People with disabilities. It is gray and unusable.  The "Uninstall" button, this is pending, but for the frequent and fun moments when Bluetooth won't connect with the mouse to do I uninstall and reinstall the mouse in the Bluetooth menu, I need to have the touch pad to move.

  Is it possible and to simply stop this unbearable cushion and turn it back on, such as a function key?  (I read something on Fn-> F7, but which refers to something related to the LCD screen).  It is some specific quirks of Sony, or is there another place to watch that I missed?  If I had a dime for every time I deleted something accidentally dropping an inch on this #% $* & ^! buffer while typing, I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams...

  Please notify.

  In fact, I opened the properties of the mouse and the chart in my link is totally the same with mine (Windows Vista Business). I don't have the tabs Tapping, int. Miscellanuous and Bluetooth you have. Try this: in the button tab of properties under the button, peripherals, configuration on the menu drop down select your touchpad. It could be a missing device setting tab, and maybe you also don't have the tray icon for your pointing device which could lead you to the mouse a quick way to toggle the touchpad. On the graph, it is a red icon for synaptics, your should be a different icon for Alps pointing device. You also mentioned that the unusable button disabled in Device Manager could be linked to the missing device setting tab. Or it could be the pointing device can be disabled for a reason, or the driver has problem. You can always use the update button in the driver tab?

  For the driver download, Sony support: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=DRIVER&PRODTYPE=24

  He also a forum if you still have problems.

• I have a dell xps with vista and get the error "unable to start windows.

  I can then choose the launch startup repair or start windows normally.  as soon as I clicked launch startup repair, he says that it is not able to PC repair.  I tried to enter safe mode, it restarts, flashes a blue screen and takes me to start the reboot system again.  I tried to run a recovery from a previous version of my sw windows (via the options in advance in the Startup Repair menu), but this does not solve the problem of boot loop.  I can get to a c prompt, but that's all.  I prefer not to use the dell factory image restore and losing all my files.

• Hi, I have a problem. I lost my favorites. I don't understand. How can I fixed this problem? Thank you.

  I lost my favorites.

  Bookmarks may appear to be lost when there is a problem with the file that contains the bookmarks in this case it's the file places.sqlite.

  You can check the database places.sqlite with this extension file.

  • Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/

  If that didn't help then try to delete the spaces in the Firefox profile folder and who understand that it's possible temporary files to SQLite as places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal besieds the places.sqlite file.

  Delete all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to rebuild the database since the last backup JSON places.sqlite (bookmarks-#-#-# _xxxx_$ $.jsonlz4) in the folder bookmarkbackups of Firefox.

  If this does not work so that you can restore bookmarks from a compressed backup of .jsonlz4 in the folder bookmarkbackups.
  The xxxx in the ' bookmarks-#-#-# _xxxx_$ $.jsonlz4 ' name indicates the total number of bookmarks (records and included separators) stored in the file.

• The XMP files have disappeard from some files in my library (I use LR CC 2015). How can I get back them?

  Hello.

  I just noticed that xmp files, I mean by there any changes I made on the LR image, have disappeared from some files in my library.

  Is it possible to find them?

  Sorry for my English, I'm french.

  Best.

  Eric

  Paige,

  The OP said that all the changes he made in LR disappeared. The lack of XMP data maintenance is a red herring, probably caused by the thought that this is where LR stores the changes, without realizing that the changes are stored in the catalog.
