* Does anyone have a solution? *

Hello

What version of BIOS your M400 installed?

Test the RAM for problems using the Memtest CD of www.memtest.org

And update the drivers (fingerprints, display, sound etc...).

  • My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files

    I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.

    My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.

    My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.

    I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.

    There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!

    Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!

    I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
    Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.

    There is no need to uninstall anything, both devices will share information and that there are no 'master-slave' logic on Firefox Sync. All devices are identical.

    My computer crashed and installs it is no longer the original disc, which I've used for many moons. I have a backup disk and use it when necessary.

  • My hard drive crashed and the only disk operating system that I can find is my Windows 7 upgrade disk. Can I do a full install on a blank disc of this?

    My title pretty much sums up my problem.

    I need to buy a new hard drive.  All I have is the Windows 7 upgrade disk I bought for some time.  I can the Windows 7 installed on this drive, or I have to buy a copy of Vista/XP to install and upgrade?

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • My computer freezes and the only way so he can come back is to hit the reset button. He did it since the day that I got the computer.

    I talked to my people to internet protection and they say that it must be something to do with microsoft software. I bought the computer from people don't get it to reproduce the problem, so they can not fix it. Sometimes I'm on the internet or not that's why I tend to think it's a matter of microsoft.

    How old is the computer?  Is it is a Windows problem, then a clean reinstall or reset to factory State would fix it.  It was present from the first day that you got the computer so I tend to think that it is a hardware problem, call those who sold you the computer using, if I had received such a machine, I immediately, he would have returned, computers are not supposed to work like this when they come new out of the box!  To solve this, I would like to start by running a test of the RAM on the machine.

  • Unable to control upgrade: an error occurred when checking for a software update, and the only option is to cancel or retry...

    I bought this iPhone 6 + about 4 weeks ago, today, I saw that there was an iOS updated 9.3.3. I was able to update my iPhone to work 5 sec, but not my iPhone6 +. I don't have a phone to jailbreak and current iOS is 9.3.2.  I googled the question and I tried these:

    1. You can try to update your software via iTunes. Your software update may fix this problem.

    2 settings > Wi - Fi and turn off Wi - Fi, and then click New.

    3. restart your iOS device.

    4 reset network by tapping settings settings > general > reset > reset network settings.

    5. change your DNS settings. To do this, simply tap Settings > Wi - Fi, then tap the blue arrow next to your existing Wi - Fi network. Press the 'DNS' field and enter the DNS servers; 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 (Google Public DNS). After that, try a software update.

    I tried these that none worked.

    Thanks for the help in advance!

  • Through router remote desktop connection gets login screen, but the administrator is the only option (windows 7 pro)

    I have a new windows 7 pro system which has been configured to host a remote desktop connection.  There are 1 user account (active admin), the port number was changed from 3389 and I think that the firewall is disabled (it's Norton Internet Security and I tried to completely disable the firewall).

    When I established a remote connection from another computer on the same subnet, the client asks for login/password and the connection ends and goes directly to the screen of the user.

    This subnet has an internet connection via a firewall or router.  It has been configured to redirect incoming connections for the custom to the host port number.

    When I establish a remote connection from outside through the firewall I am invited to login/password, but the Welcome screen appears and the only options are administrator and other users.  Administrator is blocked for the account restrictions and using other users to type the login and the password does not work - it still fails on bad login/password.

    I've seen this problem described in other forums, but have not seen a solution - anyone got one?

    Thank you

    Two points:

    1. What do you mean by "my computer, crash"? What happened and what did
    do you to fix? Have you maybe reformat and reinstall Windows? If
    you did, you are out of luck.

    2. If your photos (or any other file on your disk) was important
    to you and you did not return regularly, you've played them
    with fire. It is always possible that a hard drive crash, user error,.
