Many sites, I will tell me WHERE I AM which is in reality NOT where I am. It is editable in Firefox or these sites seek to something else on my computer (Windows Vista)?
For example, when I go on yahoo.com it tells me what the local wx in a city that I'm not in. It is about 100 miles from me. And start Firefox with NO cookies on board. Not a great concern, but it's a slight nuisance.
Where this site says that you stand?
http://whatismyipaddress.com/
There are two ways to a website determine where you are.
- Accuracy of addresses - for the 'hard' - IP connections may be limited to where your specific connections is connected to the internet, but from what I've seen accuracy improved considerably over the years that my ISP has upgraded their system in my area
- -For "wireless" connections - geolocation accuracy depends on the geolocation function used by the site and the number of hotspots wi - fi in your area - greatly improved as the number of smartphones have increased

How can I restore my computer (Windows Vista Premium) back in the day, it was brand new? I want to clean the top/everything, yes everything! Help! PLEASE
Hello
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Hello
19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.
Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack.Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did

Hi webchikk61,
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
· (Numbers KB) updates you install?
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.
Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

PaulaHi proegge,
Some HP laptops have a switch on them to activate the wireless on and outside and they are not very obvious. I would check that first.
You said that a help page will flash constantly? When you are on this forum or you tell whenever you use the computer. You see what the help page?
