I wiped clean my HP computer with the disk sanitizer in the BIOS settings...

s/n [personal information]

p/n KR971UT

Used the disk Sanitizer, now I get a "non-system disk error" message on my laptop hp 6730 b.

I tried to insert the "CD of OS for xp" disc... flashing underscore appears but never a message press buttons it flashes just for a long time and then non-system disc error always comes to the top.

I changed the boot order to CD-ROM first... always the same message.

I tried a program (demo) ACTIVE @ boot disk and scanned for partitions. Does not seem to help at all. Looks like I have to pay full price for it ($80) to make it work? ...

Should I sent it in for repair? Outdated 2 months warranty

Help!

Please test the hard drive, then the memory, post back with the results.

    I'm getting a new computer and I would like to have a COPY of my website in Dreamweaver on both. I'm working on the new computer and the files on the old periodically update to use it as a backup. I have records of origin for Creative suite 3. I understand that I have set, install from the CD to my new computer, then move the Web site folder to the new computer. I read a little about saving settings, so I have an idea. My questions are: the FTP settings will be saved? (not sure I still know my server password.) And if I have two computers that can send via FTP on the server with the same site? Is it better for me to periodically copy the folder of the site of the old computer, or from the FTP Server site in Dreamweaver on your new computer?

    Any reason, I could not have 2 copies of D.W. with my site and use both to work on my site?

    No, but it could be a recipe for confusion of version if you are not very careful to always download the files that you have finished work on them or not at the end of the day.  You might consider using checkin/checkout to avoid that.

  • When the Admin sign on the office comes to the top, but after that the computer does not respond when the user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.

    Original title: user profile

    My administrator user profile does not work properly, but I have a user profile that has activated the parental control that worked well for about a year and yesterday when this user logs on the desktop comes up, but after that the computer does not respond when that user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.  I ran a virus scan and spyware scan in my user admin profile and he has not found anything.  I don't know what to check.

    Hello rhunter15,

    There may be a program to interfere with Parental controls so that we can try a few things to see if we can determine the application or program that is causing problems.

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    • Click Start
    • Click on all programs
    • Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.
    • Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"
    • Click on command prompt
    • Type SFC/scannow.

    It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

    To determine if there is a program because of a conflict, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is designed to disable programs and services in the background as much as possible. This helps determine which service or program can be the cause of the problem.  For more information about how to perform a clean boot for troubleshooting, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

    KB 929135 - how to solve a problem of performaing a clean boot in Windows Vista.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once you have finished the clean boot, check again and see if you get the error of parental control.

    If please post again and let us know if that helped pinpoint the problem or if you still need help.

  • How can I make myself clean and my computer with no other account administrator?

    How can I make myself clean and my computer with no other account administrator?

    Do not run as administrator on a daily basis - and in Windows 7, there is absolutely no need to do so.

    Configure a user account Standard for yourself to run on a daily basis and create an administrator account (call the Admin or something similar with a password) to use in an emergency and only for purposes of elevation.

    No, the upgrade program will replace existing windows with the same number of bits, 32 to 32 and 64 to 64.

    Even within the same version of Windows, passing from 32 to 64 and vice versa requires a clean installation.

  • Message came up with, "Windows has detected another computer with the same IP address on this netework."

    A message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address. "... or similar message to one, that could just be the functioning of the laptop for the wireless?

    MurrayJoe:

    > Mean someone has or may have access to my PC or laptop?

    You mentioned a wireless laptop. Do you get this message at home (when your laptop is in communication with your own wireless router), or that you get this message when in a public hotspot?

    If at home, then I would be not too concerned (what security options enabled in your home router?).

    If you get the message while using a public access point, this does not necessarily your computer has been hacked... but it is a warning that you should not ignore. In general, I would not go to any site that has my financial data, or any other sensitive data, a public hotspot. There are too many ways that a public hotspot may be compromised.

    Your original post said that "a message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address.

    There are several reasons this could happen... some innocent people and some not so innocent.

    If your network is configured for the most common way, then your router uses a feature called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can read about DHCP here...

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

    Basically, when a device on your home network needs an IP address, he asks your router and your router assigns an IP address... technically, "rents" the router address for a given period (one day). Once this period has elapsed, the device must 'renew lease'.

    DHCP stops you from the hassle of having to assign a static IP address to each device on your network and then don't forget to retrieve that meet if/when a device are removed from your network.

    Sometimes the process DHCP can be confused and assign the same address on multiple devices. If/when this happens, communication between devices on your home network may be confused. Windows is smart enough to detect that another device on your home network has the same address as the computer where Windows is currently running..., but Windows can not solve the problem.

    You can determine the IP address of the computer that is running Windows (and posted the message you saw)... by entering "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks) at a command line prompt. Then you can check the IP addresses of all devices on your network until you find the other devices with the same IP address. Then you could say either every device to get a new IP address of the router (or restart the device). Alternatively, you can try just stating the computer that is running Windows to get a new IP address (by first entering "ipconfig/release" then "ipconfig / renew" in the command-line invite him... all orders without the quotes).

    But since you said that you are not very tech savvy, my first suggestion was the easiest... just shut everything in your network, and then restart one at a time by starting with your ISP device, router, and other devices. If the problem persists after that, then more troubleshooting (as described in the previous paragraph) would be necessary.

    I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you. If you have any questions, please post them and I'll try to answer.

  • My TV screen works as a monitor, but I can't turn on my computer with the fact that it is my first choice

    Hey!

    I recently tried to hook up my TV to my office to use as a monitor, and it works! It's a VIZIO HDTV but I can not get the HDMI cable to fit all, so I'm just using a VGA cable!

    Graphics card is a Radeon 5800 series.

    My problem is that when my computer is turned off and the TV is plugged in, I can't get a good picture when I turn it on. The resolution is just terrible, far too zoomed in.

    The only way I can get the TV to work, is if I turn on my computer with the trendy first regular computer monitor and then pass the cable VGA to TV.

    I have to do this every single time to use my computer to the TV.

    My friend can just start sound with TV connected without any problem. I'm not sure why I can't.

  • Export issues of sequences with the correct settings for DVD

    Hi - I'm relatively new at first, but working on a project that is very important for me - for the life of me I can't understand correctly export settings.

    I have compiled from home movies of my family in a few sequences for the 60 years of my dad. I worked on these weeks now get cleaned and put all together. In total, it's about 24 hours of footage. These videos have all turned initially on a very old camera video in the 80 and 90 - the kind you actually stuck a VHS tape in. My ultimate goal is to put these or on a DVD (although I guess that's too many images for one), or a drive flash or something of all compiled in one video.

    So far, I got error messages on not enough disk space - so I tried breaking the sequences and exported individually as smaller files. But now, when I export those, all videos come out tiny - the video focuses on a much larger screen, do more fit to size. I studied everything about elongation and corresponding parameters and I tried everything. Of course I do not something good, I don't know what.

    I tried all different export settings, the settings of the sequence, and I thought I was following with the sequence settings, but I guess I'm not. Although I worked on it for weeks, I am out of time. His birthday was yesterday, and I wanted to give her the finished disc tomorrow. This does not seem possible as I am about to give up!

    Someone please help! I would be grateful if someone could guide me through what my sequence settings should be and what my export settings should be and how to get the video output to the correct size for the screen.

    I appreciate your help,

    Danielle

    Time of export will vary widely, depending on at least these factors

    1 - your computer... Processor and the amount of RAM, and is this external drive, USB2 and USB3?

    2. what you change, and effects that you have applied your 718 x 480 video size... is odd, the usual when scanning a VHS tape is 720 x 480, so your video requires 'some much' extra processing

  • Issues with the display settings - all super tiny

    I have problems with the display settings, all of a sudden, everything was super great and difficult to see all the toolbars on the screen, I went to the settings display, and somehow managed to make everything incredibly tiny.  I found a page via the display settings (avancΘs?) that allowed me to adjust the percentage of the elements on the screen.  I reduced to 40%, and then the setting stuck and now I can not see or read anything.  I'm trying to return to the display settings, but I can't find this 'page' which allowed me to make this change.

    I saw a similar post:

    "I messed up my display settings. my resolution is so great that I don't see anything but black vertical lines and sets of 3 white dotted lines in sequence across my screen. my mouse can not be seen either. is there anyway to restore my original settings? It's as if everything is bigger there should be 200 to 300%.

    Hello

    There are a few things you can try:

    1. reboot the PC then start tapping the F8 key until you get the Windows Advanced on-screen Menu of Options.

    Then choose "last good known Configuration". Allow Windows to start.

    2. restart PC then start tapping the F8 key until you get the Windows Advanced on-screen Menu of Options.

    Then choose "Enable VGA Mode". Windows XP loads with the color values that can handle your "lower" resolution and display driver Once in Windows, change the resolution, then restart the PC.

    3. try to go into "Safe Mode", which is accessible in the same way as "VGA Mode". "Review the same routine as no. 2.

    I tried to hit F8, but nothing happens, I tried to reboot several times.  How do the Advanced Options?  Someone knows it the screen that I talk with the possibility of adjusting the percentages, how can I find it again?  So I can not really read or see anything.

    Pf30 soul it records progressive, but puts it as interlaced on internal memory.

    Better is to implement a project of 30 p manually as elements are likely to be interpreted as 60i

    If so, you need to interpret all the clips in the assets of the project at 30 p.

    MXP mode means that it has been saved in 24 Mbit/s.
