• Microsoft calls customers to warn them that their computer is showing defects?

  I was contacted twice in the last 3 days of a call center, claiming that they are from Microsoft and they discovered that my computer is showing the flaws. I asked them to send me an email instead and warned, I got her phone number and should be to the police.
  I suspect that it is a phishing scam. Who would have my phone number with regard to my computer?
  Somehow I can check, I'm not wrong and look into this further?

  It is not Microsoft and whatever they are, they try to rip you off. Search in this forum for the words scam and the phone.

  If they call again just tell them that you don't even have a PC. See how fast they cling.

• Microsoft has employees or contractors call peoples houses and make repair unsolicited requests?

  Recently I received two calls from people who say they work for windows saying that something is wrong with my computer.  The first guy ended up trying to sell me a package of protection.  The second guy who never had until now because I did not.  The question is this.  Microsoft has employees or contractors call peoples houses and make repair unsolicited requests?  This question is not to accuse Microsoft anything, but is designed to help me decide if these calls come from someone with no connection to Microsoft trying to take advantage of me.  Thank you.

  No, Microsoft did not do. It's a scam and with various
  the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common these days. See

  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you leave them in your computer, who knows what they were doing or where
  What confidential information they stole.

  So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
  immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

  2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
  financial sites.

  I am currently working on a site that has the integration of Paypal which includes the page redirects (confirm or cancel). My goal is to have the implementation of site with a layout for desktop, Tablet and phone. My question is when I have a redirect page should I create a separate provision of the page for each device or just a provision of office that fits all three screen sizes? I hope that if the html page has the same name of the device (query) is automatically detected. Help with the help of Adobe Muse CC

  By Payal integration, you mean paypal html button? or etc payment gateway configuration? If this is a configuration of the gateway to your site domain name then a single page with any structure will work, but if you use the button code for all associated formats then you will need to create separate pages for all.

  Thank you

• I play world of warcraft and use a program called ventrilo to talk with other players. the problem I have is my game sounds can be heard

  I play world of warcraft and use a program called ventrilo to talk with other players. the problem I have is my game sounds can be heard.
  Vista makes my headphones 'speakers', so when I use a program called ventrilo to talk with other players in my game sounds are heard through ventrilo. My headset is a headset/microphone generic plug-and-play.

  When I run not WoW, I can hear my own voice through the headset speakers when I talk.

  I want my headphones to work so I can hear my friends talking and the sounds of the game, but I don't want the game sounds to be filtered on the server for voice chat

  Any help would be much appreciated. I asked the same question to Geek Squad and their response has been to try to charge me $49.99 + tax for one of their "agents" can remote in and fix it. Do not use them unless you have: P

  Hey CassiusVa,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

  Since when are you facing the issue?

  Can I know the version of Ventrilo you use on your computer?

  It may be that World of Warcraft focuses on your audio hardware.  You can try to reduce the audio settings in WoW to see if this makes the use of Ventrilo better.  It may also be a driver problem.  I would check to make sure that you have the latest drivers for your audio device.

  Use the following steps to ensure that the audio drivers are up to date.

  1. connect to the Internet.

  2. click on start and enter the Device Manager in the start search field.

  3. click on the plus sign next to sound, video and game controllers.

  4. right click on the name of the sound material and select software update of the driver...

  5. click on search automatically for a driver updated and wait for Windows to update the driver software.

  6 Windows checks a remote Web site to see if the update of the driver software is available.

  * If an update is available, let Windows install the update.

  * If an update is not available, proceed to the next step.

  7. once the update is successfully installed, test the microphone.

  Please follow the steps below and check if you still have questions echo.

  Go into Ventrilo Setup and select mixer for the sound card, which will be the audio input (as determined by the "Input device" option) device. This will populate the Mux and line options. Normally it would take only a Mux. It is possible that you may have many options of the line. Go ahead and select "Microphone" or anything that is appropriate for the input line and then click OK.

  This should solve the problem.

  Please note that you select mixer, mux and line will allow the "Hardware Volume" slider This gives you the control hardware on the audio input signal and is the best way to control how strong you are. Setting the cursor to halfway better seems to work for most people, but it will be hardware and system load.

  You can also browse the links for more information on ventrilo and try to contact them if the problem persists.

  I typed in the product key number which is written on the side of my computer still im says that it is bad number

  When you bought the computer, he had the pre-installed Windows 7?
  If so, this is a version of OEM license.
  Not worth trying all of 3rd party product key finders. They do not work on the OEM version.

  You call the computer manufacturer and ask what follows...

  1. a set of recovery disks. Its cost is minimal and money well spent. The game will save your computer if it crashes.
  2. talking to a technician and ask for instructions access your recovery as well as partition to use it to restore your computer.

  The 2 methods above does not need to enter the product key.

  Note: The methods above will restore your computer to factory State. You will lose all your personal files and programs you had installed. If you still have ways to support those up to a flash drive or an external hard drive, do so now.
