Microsoft ring allows you to check on reports of errors on your computer

Ihad a call from a person saying he was calling the microsoft Center support asking if I had errors on my computer, is this true

Hi Michael,

It's a SCAM! Microsoft does not make such calls and don't hire subcontractors to do. Don't give them any information. Don't allow them to access your PC. It's probably a tactic to get you to buy a service you don't need to show you a few errors in the event viewer and trying to scare you. They can also be tempting to information theft, outright stolen money for nothing (assuming they still exist), trying to access your computer to infect it or open it to be hacked or steal information, or a number of things. Microsoft will never call you if you call them and ask them to call back you. They do not start a request like that. They do not follow personal computers as in some science fiction movies, and they have more than enough calls from people asking for help without looking for more people who need help. They also don't do that by e-mail. If these people call once again, either hang up or if your so inclined game with them provided false information and bringing it and ask all sorts or esoteric questions and then ask to speak to a supervisor if they don't know the answers to waste their time when we know the real game (sometimes I get in the mood to do just for fun).

In any case, they are not authentic and by checking here you have yourself registered a big headache. Play well. Who is using your head.

Good luck and best wishes!

  • How many times Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows

    As the questions indicates how many times you can activate Windows Vista Business? I would like to know because I had to activate Windows 3 - 4 times on a course of 3 days. Is there a limit to the number of times where Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows on the same computer with the same configuration?

    Thank you

    Hi Victor,

    The answer to your question would be both 'yes' and 'no '.

    IIRC, there is a limit on the number of times your license can be activated via the Internet.

    However, after the limit is reached, you can still call them for telephone activation.

    (You will have to wait before the automated voice system to reach a real person tho)

  • Lately everytime I open firefox I get the window «do you want this program to make changes to your computer...» »

    Hello

    I would be so grateful to know how to fix t his, because it's really getting on my nerves.
    
    I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I mostly always use firefox. Whenever i opened a  new browser, I never got hit with the windows badge and "Do you want this program to make changes to your computer...." or something to that effect. YOu who have windows 7 know what I mean. Of course I click yes, but I NEVER had to do this before. I don't know what changed, what might have happened. I had to have help with some software unrelated to firefox and someone had remote work on my notebook, but he should not have changed browser settings. It is really irritating me to now end to always open the browser now and have to hear that annoying thing and the badge.
    

    My other browsers IE and chrome do not do this.

    How can I fix this? It was never the case before for years.
    

    Thank you thank you very much in advance. I can't use this browser if that's going to happen, he finds himself on my nerves.

    A possible cause of this message, it is that Firefox is configured to run as administrator.

    Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.
    Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

    • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

    Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.
    If you cannot make changes, and then start Windows Explorer as an administrator.

    Hi EatonmcMT,

    1. what security software is installed on the computer?

    2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • Windows 7 does not allow you to copy tapes through the USB to the computer... need help!

    I bought a cassette/converter of Grace Digital Audio Player to convert cassettes to MP3 files on my computer (HP laptop Pavilion DV 7/Windows 7 64-bit). Directions say to just plug into the USB port, press Play on the machine and press Record on the Audacity software.  It copies the music... and all the other noises in the room.  I tried to disable the microphone from the computer... but then it won't copy the music at all.  I called the manufacturer of the product through and they say it's a Windows 7 problem.  So, how can this work?  Thanks for any help you can give me...

    Hello

    Follow the steps mentioned below.

    (a) plug one end of the audio cable into the headset of your cassette player or 'Line' jack out and the other end into 'Micro' of the sound card on your computer or "Line in" jack. To avoid any possible damage sound card, use if possible 'in Line' decision and not the "Microphone".

    (b) launch Audacity and change the type of entry 'in Line' or 'Microphone', depending on what jack of the soundcard you are using. This indicates Audacity to record everything he "hears" the map of sound input. To do this, open the menu editing, then Preferences. You will then see a screen that should do what you need: use the "Device" selector to choose your entry (sound card, microphone, audio jack, etc.) and change the 'Channels' selector to choose between mono or stereo recording.

    (c) press the record button on Audacity, then press play on your cassette (red circle).

    (d) press the stop (yellow square) on Audacity when the tape is finished playing.

    (e) use the menu option "file-> export to WAV" to save your record. The WAV file can be saved on your computer, converted to MP3 or burned on a CD. Get fancy with the Audacity audio editor features: you can cut, paste and add effects easily.

    You must save a clip of ten seconds at first, so that you can play it will immediately return in Audacity (green triangle button) and make sure your volume levels is good. If the audio recorded is too strong or too static, decrease the volume of your cassette player.

  • The sound allows you to check the default speakers. However, some applications use some speakers while other applications use different players.

    I produce several channels on mogulus. (see http://theallyvideo.blogspot.com/)

    I use a HP desktop computer smart touch and a few laptops from Sony to run the application studio to mogulus.com.

    Use the mogulus studio, I can watch multiple video streams live as sources and monitor outgoing video as well. There's my video stream live from other computers/producers in 4 different States more video feeds of my two laptops. NOTE: see www.mogulus.com

    I am running Vista on all three machines. (I found that XP cannot handle 4 video stream, I got up to 9 with Vista.

    Audio wise, it has worked on all three computers.

    Mogulus studio, use Adobe to handle all audio and video.
    I can turn on or off the sound of my guests so I can hear them and coordinate that I then put on the air and see how long they need.

    The outgoing video monitor also has an audio mute button. When using the PC's built-in speakers, it's a MUST to mute the audio monitor outgoing when you go live, and then reactivate the sound when he in transmitting the other guests, or playing pre-recorded clips.

    I also have a Microsoft keyboard with maximum volume down and cut the buttons on my desk. Two Sony laptops have the same keys and worked perfectly, controlling the built-in speakers. The keys make it easier to mute the speakers to use the key mute in the studio during the 'live '.

    I had another option for speakers of inhibition to avoid the Larsen effect. It is to plug headphones into the headphone jack on the monitor.
    I could connect the headset, do some direct ads, spots a show pre recorded, disconnect the headset and wander in the 'studio' listening to the show through PC speakers.

    So far has worked flawlessly, with two small problems.

    • (1) I sometimes forgot to mute the speakers when I spotted my local webcam and microphone. This would cause comments as soon as I saw the video and it came out alive. The microphone pick up the sound from the computer speakers.
    • (2) the microphone integrated into the HP desktop computer doesn't have a good sound. The mic's Sony are OK, but too far from my mouth to provide good storytelling.

    I decided that the Microsoft LX3000 USB integrated boom Mic headset would be the perfect complement to solve these two problems. I bought three of them, so I would have them on computers cell phones too.

    I installed the LX-3000 CD according to the instructions. Then I plugged in the USB cable to connect the headset/microphone.

    The sound of the headphones was superb. The boom Mic on the headset is a huge improvement over those built in monitors or webcams.

    Mute the Mic and speaker volume up/down on the cord of the LX-3000 is a convenience too.

    Use the headset no sound PC speakers. So, the echo is therefore more a problem.

    Use of the helmet, it is not necessary to mute the speakers. They are now closed all the time now. So, I go live, make an announcement, then play a prerecorded segment.

    That's where everything went south.

    I take off the headphones so I can take a coffee. I realize that now, I have no way of controlling the segment recorded through the speakers. I have no way of knowing when the segment is about to finish and I need to rush to the computer to make the next segment or live announcement. Being attached to the PC by a foot 3 cord isn't good at all.

    I try to do what I did with the analog headphone. Unplug the headphones to re - turn the speakers.
    No luck there. The speakers are still silent.

    I plug the USB headphones in. NOW I have no sound through speakers or headphones. The microphone in the headphones works well. like the mute of the microphone on the cord of the headset. Reduction in the volume of the buttons on the headset cable move the sliders up and down in the windows sound mixer, but no sound anywhere.

    I re - start.
    Now I get sound from the earpiece. But, not the speakers. All the volume keys on the keyboard, monitor and headset cable + / up and down the volume sliders but have no effect on the speakers or headphones. The helmet is at full volume all the time and PC speakers are silent.

    I look in the Control Panel, "speakers". I see that the 'helmet' has a green check mark and don't "speak". I select speakers and press the button "default". The speakers now have a green check mark.
    No change...
    I reboot...
    Now, the speakers work, but the headphones does not work. Volume controls move the sliders, but do not effect the speaker volume. None of the buttons mute function.

    This is totally unacceptable. The only way to switch between speakers and headphones is through the re-booting the PC and Control Panel. Cannot do when playing a mixture of 15 the second live commercials ads and 30 seconds.

    This is where it gets weird.

    While in Internet Explore on the page of mogulus studio, or Flash media encoder, the outgoing audio monitor goes to the HEADSET. If I start another copy of Microsoft Internet explore and reveal my mogulus channel drive, the sound of it goes to the PC SPEAKERS.

    Looking at the volume mixer, I see that if I select the "peripheral" "as speakers SoundMax integrated Digital HD Audio", there is only one application, the 'Sound' volume control and control the sound of the IE. players page.
    If I select "Device", "Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000" I get two Windows sounds and Mogulus Studio applications"

    I get the same results on two laptops from sony.

    NOW FOR THE QUESTIONS.
    OK, so how can I tell Blender what applications go to what audio output?

    Can I set up so that as the studio flash applications will both headphones AND PC speakers.

    Can I make the speaker MUTE button on the keyboard and screen work as they did and set mute the speakers for PC only. That would leave the headphone speakers all the time.

    Except that how can I at least get the +/-and mute keys to work as they did.

    Thank you
    Bob

    Bob, you can proceed as follows which allows different devices to be chosen for different applications in Windows:

    Close all programs, are preparing to open the first program which will use headphones...
    -Right click on the Volume icon and select playback devices
    -Select the headset as default device and open the program that you want to use this device, it will play on the current default device (helmet)
    -Now right click on the Volume icon and select playback devices, set speaker to the default device
    -Open the program you wish to play on the speakers

    The original program will continue to play on the headphones and the second program will continue to play on the speakers.

    Because of the helmet to helmet USB when you unplug them this device is disconnected (uninstalled) completely, she's not as expected with analog headset.

    Where you disconnected the analog headphone the BIOS of the machine would automatically re - routing the sound to the speakers, I do not think, however, that a secondary feature differentiating the speakers in the headphones would be available in the playback devices in this instance.  This is due to the sound card as the primary and the only device in this case and the speakers/headphones being secondary speakers or all outputs simply.

    You will be able to mute/unmute/volume adjustment for all devices in the Volume mixer (the switch A B device with the menu of the device), but I'm not aware of a way to run a stream audio reading by another device using the commands of its standard Windows at this time.
