  I just got a phone call from a guy who told me he was technical team of windows and someone had attempted to enter into my calculation, I told her that I don't have a computer, then he asked if I had a laptop that I don't have so I told him that. I asked how he had got hold of my phone number and he said they had the info. I wanted to take this more then I asked what was wrong and he said that if I turned on my computer that he would go through it with me. I didn't believe him, but what to do? Needless to say that I hung up on him, but as I am not very computer savvy so I'm a little worried. Can anyone help please. Thank you

  Hello John

  Without that society is not authentic. It's all part of a scam to gain access to your pc and steal your personal data.

  Unless you have a pre-paid with Microsoft, support contract they (Microsoft) will never contact you for problems on your PC.

  You did the right thing by hanging up on them. If that happens again, just ignore them.

• Whenever I try to open other pages, they'll just be "loading" for 30 seconds then it says that the page cannot load (as if my internet is disconnected)

  Recent internet connection problems

  Recently, my internet has been acting weird. He has never acted like this before, until 2 people moved my basement and began to share Internet (maybe a coincidence, but not sure). Sometimes when I leave my computer on and stay away from the keyboard and go back some time after and open my internet browser, only my home page would be in charge. Whenever I try to open other pages, they will simply be "loading" for 30 seconds then says that the page cannot load (as if my internet is disconnected). But the problem is, when I click on network and sharing Center, there is nothing wrong with that.

  Access - LAN and the Internet

  Connection - connection to the Local network

  It's the same when my Internet works fine, but I can't just browse other Web pages EXCEPT the home page that appears when I first open my browser. When this happens, I usually unplug my modem then reconnect OR just keep trying to load a page when after like 5 minutes or more, everything works normally.

  How can I solve this problem? It is annoying and happens almost everytime I go back to use my computer after staying idle for some time.

  By the way, I noticed that I have 4 'networks '. I'm not sure what they are, but I could merge or delete them. It would help my situation?

  Control Panel-> network and interest-> network and sharing Center Center-> customize-> Merge or Delete network locations.

  I am very annoyed by the present and I would be grateful any entry in this case.

  Thank you in advance.

  I just got an error message at startup, which reads: execution of data path: to protect your computer, Windows has closed this program: name: request for logon Userinit, Publisher: Microsoft.  My pc is under Windows XP SP2. I think that different multiple verisons of software "virus protection" began to appear in the Explorer. I know that they do not belong on my computer. I tried to close them, but they just kept moving forward. I'm trying to find some help to solve the problem. Moreover, when I close the window of Data Execution Prevention error message, I have my bottom, no other other icons for one of my programs are on the screen. Help... This can be corrected?

  Thanks in advance.

  Carter2009,
  If you started having 'Magical' Antivirus programs to appear on your system that you do not install, then you are infected.  Some people may be painful to remove, to others not so much.  I recommend http://www.malwarebytes.org/ for malware protection and http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/ for antivirus.

  But now you're in a bit of a place.  I download Malware Bytes and put it on a USB key.  Then see if you can boot in safe mode and run MalwareBytes.  If you're not in safe mode, take a look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318027

• Just got my Sansa clip +. Made my head. Help, please...

  Hiya,

  I got my Clip + yesterday and I am impressed by the sound, but I really need help on the following please:

  Drag and drop the gel: it does seem like other titles at all. If I try to delete a file Explorer windows (W7 Ultimate) album, it's maybe 2 or 3, then locks up. The progress bar freezes, and eventually it times out. These are quite normal MP3 files.  I can drag some of the individual titles in, but then that he is stuck on everything won't. Why is this? On an album, there are 4 that will not in all.

  Can't delete some folders: I'm going to drag a folder and it works OK, but when I try to delete it, it says that I can not, because it is write-protected, and the only way I found to get rid is to format the clip + and start over.

  Records do not remain separate: I maybe drop 3 files in, but on the music list that they are all bundled together. For example, I dropped 3 metallica album files in (also those who would not delete). Kill Em all, Ride the relief and Master of Puppets. But they are not separated on the clip +. The order in which they will be is:

  01 - hit the lights

  01 - fight Fire With Fire

  01 - battery

  02 - the four horsemen

  02 - Ride the relief

  02 Master Of Puppets

  Etc...

  What should I do? My last MP3 player was about 5 years ago and it's simple.

  I'm not going back, I love the size of it and the sound is quite impressive, but I'm going to need, if I can't get a grip on it.

  Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeers

  Go to system/settings/USB settings and change it to MSC. This should make the Clip act as any other flash drive and simplify slide / move. The other mode is the PSG, which is supposed to work with Windows Media Player and sometimes gets tangled with protection against Scripture and other oddities - to avoid, IMHO.

  If you click on the list of music, on a second page, you will see the folders and you should be able to find your music in the same way as on your computer.

  But like most new mp3 players, the Clip works also by labels instead of folders.

  Lists the Album, artist, etc. you see are not records. These are databases built since the tags ID3 - electronic tags in the files themselves. Album lists each title of the album found among the mp3s. Etc. It looks like your Metallica albums do not have the field filled in the ID3 tag Album or the Clip cannot read this field, so it is to find the artist (Metallica) and the track number and doing the best he can.

  This can be corrected very easily if you keep just with the single explanation below.

  Download the free program mp3tag. http://www.mp3Tag.de/en/

  When you install it let it be added to the context menus (an option during installation).

  After installed, open it and go to tools, Options, Tags, Mpeg and under writing choose ID3v2.3 and ISO-8859-1. (ISO-8859-1, this is how Windows displays the text in the English language).  Make sure that these options are saved.

  Marking is not standardized in particular, and who's going to save the tags Clip how like them.

  Click on an album, and then look at the tags. Click the header file name to put in order - those who seem to work - and then fill in the other fields correctly. You can labelled the album both highlighting everything and put the artist, Album, etc. in the box on the left. Obviously make sure album is in the area of the Album.

  MP3 tag also has some other nifty features. One is assistant tools/auto-numbering. Make sure the files are in order, from top to bottom, reading, choose the option of leading zeros. If an album has 10 tracks and they are labeled, 1, 2, 3, etc., the Clip will play 1, 11, 12, 13, before 2.   Leading zeros fixed that.

  Under Convert, you can convert your files in tag names.  It's pretty obvious, how it works, each field is shown by the artist %, etc.  So in the box to convert you can type Track % - %Title% and complete them for your file names.  This could be your best option, but mp3tag is very flexible, and you should understand something.

  It is best to take off the Clip files problem, fix them on the computer and return. You can just format and start over. If you have not freshly formatted the device, you can delete MTABLE. SYS of the clip - which is the database of the ID3 tags - and when you unplug it will make a new MTABLE. SYS to your new tags.

  Further, it takes about 5 seconds to make sure that the artist and the Album are consistent on the album in full and run the auto-numbering wizard before adding the album to the Clip. Then you can search... and destroy.

  This seems to have solved some problems, but as you can see, I run not really much at the moment other than Safari, which makes me fear. Has anyone else had problems of this kind? Is there a way to reduce the amount of memory used by El Capitan, or could I possibly downgrade to something like Yosemite? Or do I just have a defective machine?

  Thank you!

  Memory is not the problem, OS X is not the problem, nor the computer the problem; It's the shit you have loaded on the computer. Here's a suggestion.

  Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

  Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

  1. Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.
  2. When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) in the list to one side.
  3. Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  4. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  5. Click on the apply button, then wait for the done button to activate and click on it.
  6. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
  7. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  This should install a new copy of Mac OS X on the computer. Now, install any third-party software and give the computer a few hours to complete Spotlight indexing during which the computer will run slowly. Then it check to see if it works OK. Do not install any third-party anti-malware or software equipment cleaning as you had installed before. You have not need software Path Finder, CleanMyMac or other MacPaw, Spotify, or stream. Part of the problem is the installation of the software that is not completely compatible that looks like DropBox. You may need an updated version.
