Hi Cindy,.

No, unless you have a second phone line, using a cell phone, or try something like Skype on your computer.

Try to connect to what?  Technical support for what?  Of course, you could connect here, so it works.  What is the problem that you are looking to get help?

I hope this helps.  If we can help, let us know.

Good luck!

  • I started to run Disk Defragmenter on my laptop with Windows Vista to 7:45 last night. She is still ongoing at 10:55 the next day. That is what it is? I can't believe that it takes more than 12 hours to defragment a hard drive.

    Defragmenter

    Hi Augie,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    1. you run defrag disk for the first time?

    Disk Defragmenter is a tool that rearranges the data on your hard drive and brings together fragmented files so that your computer can run more efficiently. We must keep in mind that the Disk Defragmenter uses disk access low priority and processor so that it is not influence your current running programs. This automatically translates a slower process. Disk defragmentation can take a long time if you run it for the first time and also depend on the space of hard disk and available data. If may take up to 15-16 hours, depending on the data and the bad clusters on the hard drive.

    Try the suggested methods.

    Method 1

    If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

    Method 2

    You can run a disk scan command to remove bad sectors on the hard drive, then run Disk Defragmenter.

    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    2. right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. click on the sur l' onglet tab Tools and then, under error-checking, click check now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that detects the scanning, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a full disk check, select search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select automatically fix file system errors and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. click on Start.

    Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

  • is it possible to activate auto scroll on default linux all the time forever?

    I move from linux to windows many times. So I created a profile shared to firefox. now the only problem im trying all the time is I want to check auto-scrolling all the time when I get back into linux. so is it possible to make this setting activate all the time?
    p.s. im still confuse why people use middle click to paste when editing under linux... but that's another thing.

    Put a local file - settings.js in the folder defaults\pref also the file prefs.js - channel where to specify using mozilla.cfg.

    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
    

    These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:

    defaultPref();	// set new default value
    pref();		// set pref, allow changes in current session
    lockPref();	// lock pref, disallow changes

  • Firefox prompts to save passwords of websites. The key to the Password Manager icon appears on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window asking if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions

    I installed the latest version of Firefox on my laptop (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The thing is that firefox prompt to save passwords of websites. I'll explain you a little more away with an example: suppose I load www.gmail.com. When I login, the password manager key is displayed on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window which would ask if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions. It is true that when I restart firefox with disabled modules (safe mode), password manager works fine. But I don't really use Add-ons that could prevent firefox to save passwords. I disabled all add-ons and ran firefox in normal mode, but the password manager does not work yet. Please keep in mind that I tried everything and that any post not published so far describes a similar problem to mine case. Consider that I have the same I have configured the entire system from the beginning. The problem appeared again from the first time I launched firefox. At that time, I had not installed any antivirus software and there is no add-on with firefox. Hope someone can give me a valid solution...

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.

    Rename signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.

    You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.

    If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

    How can I return to 4.0 3.6 I've never had a problem with 3.6 and now 4.0 crashes all the time tell me how to go back

    Downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first of all uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option 'remove my Firefox personal data '. If you select this option, it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

    Then you can install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your favorite courses, passwords etc.

    I recommend, to avoid possible problems with decommissioning, accessing your profile folder and delete the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Delete these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, check their compatibility and cancel the toolbar customizations.

  • Firefox 3.6.3 will not play integrated youtube videos. It comes up with ' year error occurred please try again later. " It happens all the time

    Firefox 3.6.3 will not play integrated youtube videos. It comes up with ' year error occurred please try again later. " It happens all the time. If you click to go to youtube the clip plays.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Well, here's my answer to my own post.

    After reading some posts here about possible solutions, I tried to delete all the cookies for YouTube (Tools > options > privacy > show cookies > youtube.com). Then tested on a site with integrated video would not play before and on YouTube directly - both worked!

    The poster with the suggestion of cookies also proposed changes to the 'exceptions', but it was not necessary at least for me.

  • Cannot change the privacy of my story setting. He always comes back to save history. I tried all the possible solutions without change. Any help for this problem?

    I tried to change my privacy settings for history to remember the history of custom settings and he returned always to remember history. I tried all the fixes including refreshing Firefox, by removing the prefs.js file, check my Norton Security Suite to be sure that Firefox Cleanup is disabled, synchronization is turned off and all the other recommendations I can find with an online search of the problem. Another that a deletion total Firefox and fresh installation is there any other recommendation that I can try allowing the change in my setting of the story.
    The reason why I ask is recently that my browser does not store cookies permanently. When I try to enter a password sites (my Bank for example), I have to answer a question before you enter my password. I have to do this every day. Previously, I was able to save the computer and should not be the question that arises, unless I have cleared my cache, history and cookies. However, it seems that cookies seem to disappear when I close the computer power off or after an unknown period of time and I have to go through the procedure to properly identify myself and my computer on the site. This is a private computer with no access by someone else and it became cumbersome to re-enter the requested information whenever I go to some of my usual sites.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: Win2k with SP4 - cooler run all the time

    Hello

    last week, I bought a used Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 PIII, 1 GHz, 512 GB of Ram, WIFI and DVD burner. Great machine so far.

    After that I changed the FAT32 file system to NTFS and reinstalled Win2K/SP4 cooler runs all the time.

    TaskManager says that "THOT_KEY.exe" uses up 99% of the CPU power. Disabling this service reduces the power of the processor and the cooler was quite, BUT didn't really helped - lots of keys does not work.

    I ran a few utilities to disinfect as Kaspersky, NOD32 etc. to ensure that Ia´ve not taken some malware.
    Should I try a bios update or change some settings?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for help

    Hello

    AFAIK the THOT_KEY.exe belongs to the Toshiba Hotkey utility that controls the various key functions.
    If you disable this service, you will not be able to use the FN keys more.
    I m not 100% sure why this service uses 99% of CPU performance, but perhaps that it s not completely compatible with the W2K service packs. Where did you download this utility? I found it on the page of Toshiba Europe!

    In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the system again. This is probably the key!

    Good luck

    Hi everyone, 2 days ago, I bought a nas102 without disc. I asked inside a 2 TB hard drive. Discovery Education after nothing happened, the online page has not discovered the sin, even if I pressed the button backup for 5 seconds. After I did a factory reset, but after more than 30 hours, the law is on and power led blinking, the nas found discovery software raid, but it shows a blue led and the status is "Setup". What have I to do?

    Hello
    I resolved, I don't know how!
    (1) I put inside an old hard drive 1 TB, the system started
    (2) in the web administration page, I did a firmware update
    (3) I rolled together the 1 TB harddrive with new 2 TB hard drive
    (4) the system tells me that it needs a synchronization, after 4 hours, the synchronization is complete
    (5) I left only the new 2 TB hard drive, did a format and now it works

    Now a question:
    can I put inside two different hard drives, disabling of the raid and get the sum of the two hard drive?

  • There is no conectivity with the pxi-8145 or. User1 witness stays on all the time.

    NI PXI-8145 connectivity has suddenly disappeared.  I tried to reset the IP address using the switch NORM/IPRST, but it is still impossible to detect the device.  MAX cannot detect it even if the workstation (PC) detects a network.  Also, USER1 light is all the time (and it's supposed to blink).  What I would do.  Is this a problem in map (PXI-8145) itself? or can be linked to the chassis (pxi - 1031)?  If there is no damage, what might have caused it? is there a Service Center for repair anywhere? How much would it cost?...

    K - lyn,

    The controller never worked properly?  Using FTP, look at the OR-RT/STARTUP folder (type ftp://x.x.x.x/ni-rt/startup in Internet Explorer, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the controller).  What is there?  If you connect a monitor to it, something appears?  If so, what is on the screen?

    Your User1 light is constantly on.  The LED flashing sequence is documented in the manual on page B1.  Always on is not one of the choices.  When you power cycle the chassis, the controller starts with the LED User1, or it will Flash and then stay on?
    We can start from scratch by uninstalling the software on the controller and put it back.  To uninstall it, manually put the controller in safe MODE (switch S2 - see the PXI - 8140RT manual series pp. 2 - 6 and B-2 for more details).  Right now, starting with S2 switched uninstalls the software.  Switch to normal and then reconfigure the controller.

    What IP settings give you the controller? What version of LabVIEW Real-time using you? What drivers you put on the controller? What are the parameters of the host PC IP? What is in the program that you are using? You call dll or any C code?

  • I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.

    Original title: new printer

    I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.  The printer works fine when printing from a laptop or ipad!

    Start by going here--> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=232591&prodoid=63099059&infoType=Downloads&platform=nodetect

    If the web page has not correctly detected your operating system, select it by using the drop-down list.  Rather than using the "Combo package" recommended but huge, expand the "Drivers" section and download driver printer v2.32 to a location that you will remember later.

    • Click on the ORB start and go into devices and printers.
    • Select (click) the icon of your Epson printer.
    • Once you have selected the printer, a button labeled "Print server properties" will appear in the toolbar.  Click on this button.
    • Click the "Drivers" tab on the print server properties dialog box.
    • Select the Epson printer in the list of installed printer drivers, and then click 'remove '.
    • In the context menu, select "Remove driver and driver package" and click OK
    • Click Yes, and then delete
    • Once the removal process is complete, restart the computer (probably not really necessary, but can't hurt)
    • Install the driver and the software using the file that you downloaded earlier

    At this point, your printer should work fine.  However, if you want the ability to print by emailing a file to your printer, you may need to install both 'Remote Printer Driver v1.65' in the category 'Pilot' and "v1.30 utility Configuration of printer Epson Connect" in the "Utilities" category
