  • When start the computer can be turned on but nothing happens

    Original title: computer does not start

    Hi all

    Have a dual processor Intel running Vista with 2 GB of memory.

    When start the computer can be turned on but nothing happens. That is the screen is not lighting, brief flashes KB on and nothing. I hae take the drive HARD case and implemented it is powered, but there is no sign that it is accessed at all when the machine is running. It seems that ot could be the HARD drive, but I think that there is a rom on the motherboard, which is accessible in the boot process and I wonder if this could fail. I don't have a spare drive to test what happens then is anyway I can be sure if I need new hard drive or m/Board?

    While on the question - if I need a HARD drive, Vista is the one that crashed and I do not have a Cd with the machine when I bought it. Nor has created a cover of one! I have an old XP Pro upgrade disc and an original copy of Windows 2000 (so I can switch to XP). This is my best option? I can't afford £ 140 for Windows 7.

    Hi Eddie,.

    Since this is a hardware problem, you should contact your computer manufacturer or a hardware technician to understand the defective material.

    And also, since Windows Vista was preinstalled on the computer you must consult the manufacturer of the computer for resettlement or a recovery DVD.  Also survey about data recovery on hard drive crashed.

  • the computer must be on and the windows scan and fax program open to receive a fax?

    I looked through many pages of documentation and the forums and didn't find any reference to this.

    He probably could if your fax/modem may wake the computer from sleep mode. But you would still have to wonder if the fax send would wait long enough for the PC to detect the ring, wake up and be ready to deal with a fax.

  • I have Windows XP and the computer must remember my passwords

    original title: passwords

    Hi, I am very new to computers and any qualified. I have Windows XP and you want the computer remember my password so that I don't need to tell or to type them every time, but don't know if I can do it? Penelope

    Would be even better if you had some central repository for passwords, IMO.  It's a security not only that I am concerned over - save passwords and such (on web pages and places that can be saved) is a security concern - but what happens when something goes wrong with the computer and you lose all those saved credentials and you have not typed them in so long you really * not * don't forget?  Neither the user name nor password and possibly not even if to use it?

    I recommend KeePass: http://keepass.info/download.html
    And keep a copy of the database on an external drive-in case something goes wrong.  In this way he must memorize a unique password OR just have it written down, so you can see the list of the other passwords and user names and places to use.

    When I click on he App Store update, he said first a reboot is required, then it just happens before the restart, a pop up advising me that updates have changed and offers 2 options: 1) cancel, which does nothing and 2) show invisible characters, which also does nothing.
