• Just bought Wndows Vista and having problems with the port for Palm 125

  I just bought a Windows Vista-based computer and have problems with getting my 125 Palm to synchronize with the desktop computer.  I get an error message saying: "No available Com1" what should I do?

  Thank you

  Frustrated

  Don't ask me the procedures step by step that I did, but I finally success!  I uninstalled Palm Desktop and started from scratch.  I unplugged the Hot Sync cradle by the USB port, then I installed Palm Desktop from my drive and then update Palm Desktop on the Palm for Palm M125 site.  It still does not, I manually added a port and manually changed to COM1.  I then pressed the Hot Sync button and in the Device Manager, a folder has become available "device named" with Palm Desktop as a subfolder.  It is always active, I updated my computer for Palm USB driver.  Miraculously it worked.  Thanks for your help, but as usual everything it needed, it was patience and trial and error to solve the problem, since it does not seem to be a quick fix related this topic.

• Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

  I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

  worm post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  One thing you can try try the system restore, safe mode.

  Start the computer in safe mode with networking capabilities (hold DOWN F8 while the computer starts).

  To start your computer in safe mode, you can check the link below:http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx>

• I have a problem with the inability to open "LINKS" received e-mail messages. KEP's message operation cancelled due to restrictions on this computer

  I was referred by the 'Help' site on my computer to a website "JUST ANSWER", however this turns out be a waste of time and from what I could find on a website thewre were 100's of other unhappy customers, some suggesting the site is a scam?

  Check your Internet Explorer. See if it has its flaws.

  Start > default programs > set your default programs > click on Internet Explorer. He said "this program has all its defaults"?
  If not, click Choose defaults for this program > put a check mark on each entry in the list > SAVE

• Had a virus on the computer, deleted, now I have problems with the homegroup and DSN

  Cause of my current problem:

  2 weeks ago, I found that my computer has a virus. He removed the BFE service, firewall Windows, Windows Defender, blocked my anti-virus (Trend Micro), cut other security services... he pretty well blocked, deleted or close all my computer security programs.

  I was able to fix, but my computer did not work in the same way.

  I was able to return back BFE and Windows Firewall, turn on other security services and get up my antivirus and running. 2 weeks later my antivirus deleted 9 virus and thousand and something web threats.

  Now to my current problem:

  I was able to establish the homegroup on my computer, but when I check the files that I want to share, Save custom settings, same when I go to a folder and select 'share with homegroup' manually

  When I hit Homegroup troubleshooting need to network troubleshooting and I end up getting this error "your computer seems to be configured correctly, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding"

  I tried following this threat: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/erroryour-computer-appears-to-be-correctly/aeb7b5df-55ac-456e-aba3-96f9d90898d6

  Did not work. I tried reseting my router and modem but nothing. I can't first homegroup to work if I does not resolve the DNS.

  This problem is probably due to the fact that the virus tried to redirect my DSN to computer hackers, but

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  modem: Motorola MIPDSLA

  Router: Cisco Linksys E1000

  any other information needed on my computer please let me know

  Sorry for this post is really long, I tried to summarize as much as I could

  I thank all those who took the time to re-read this threat and decided to help me.

  Although there is a small chance, you may be able to fix this on a service by service method, it is may be easier (and faster) to do a clean install.

  I would also mention that if you got a virus to trend was obviously not a very good job of protecting you.  May want to rethink the installation of malicious software program.

  What operating system do you use?

  What brand of computer are you using (HP, Dell, etc.)? Have you spent at the web site of the manufacturer and installed the drivers from HP, Dell, support of any web site page? Sometimes drivers that Windows installs are not as effective - especially if you have recently upgraded to Windows 10.

  There may be other factors, but we will need a lot more information in order to solve the deeper problems.

• I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer.

  Original title: hoax call?

  I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer. They know this, because I have generated error reports. When I asked how I could be sure who they were they led me to a screen with a ref to no error report. and he cites correctly for me. When I was asked to sign up for control of my computer for them to correct these errors, I refused and hung up. What happens with all those errors that we report to microsoft when our computers generate the error reports and how these appellants knew my error report reference.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, donot give access to your PC, not give them all the money and donot go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Error reports contain no personally identifiable information. These people are hoping that your system recently sent to Microsoft to make their call seems more legitimate.

  Microsoft does ever not requested for telephone calls of support or security.

  Hello

  Its a SCAM!

  In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer

  No, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
  on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
  identity.

• Microsoft never call their users? I just got a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft and he wanted me to run something.

  I just got a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft. It was obviously of the India. In any case, he said that there are problems with my computer and it asked me to do something, I would not.  He hung up. He told me to click the button of windows on my keyboard. Then he told me type something in and running. But I refused. I said, how end I call Microsoft and give them your name... HE HUNG UP.

  Hello DianeMcGettigan,

  It is simply one of the many scams that are doing the tour.

  Unless you have a prepaid support contract with Microsoft, then Microsoft will never contact you by phone, mail or e-mail about problems with your PC. You did while refusing to allow him access to your PC. All they want to do is to have access to your PC, so they can steal personal data (banking etc.) on your part.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  You did the right thing.

  Please see:

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.
