• Computer to do its own thing

  We have a home group to share on our network.  We enabled streaming and also the detection of network.  Bad idea.  Now, he seems to be crossed or copied files.  Photos and videos are put in folders and hidden behind HABs cards or other items, and then when you are looking to see what they are, they contain photos and videos.  He said at one point, a component of Norton anitvirus was isolated and then looked as if it had.  Also, our wireless printer was no longer in Control Panel under devices.  Just went and showed in the Manager of devices with locks on them.  Several things like what's happening.  Is this a virus?  It is hack by someone and how it stop.  I stopped sharing, closed the homegroup, done everything I can think of.  Oh, when he began our network was my mother, me and suddenly www.factcheck.org appeared.  It's all downhill from there.  No identity now shows but definitely something to do.  I'm looking for?  I don't know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.  Help, please.  Thank you.

• Dell Dimension E521 starts and stops on its own at random times... a lot of attempts to repair/restore without success! What's next!

  Well, it's a bit of a long story, so I'll try to make it as short and easy as possible.

  My grandmother had the Dell Dimension E521 for some time in December of ' 06.  She had filled the C: drive with a bunch of junk and mandated the bureau with many useless shortcuts.  Later in November 10, she told me he had begun to stop and start on his own time at random, so I tried to do what I could with antivirus scan (AVG Free Edition), remove applications and unnecessary programs and try to demand for system recovery short.  While that makes the computer run faster, it still started and closed on itself.  His house has only the dial-up connection (which is almost impossible to update anything), so I brought it to my house for the best connection around 01/01/11 (9 days ago).

  I could update the AVG Free Edition and Windows updates, and it found and cleared, a Trojan Virus.  The Dell still started and shut down on its own.  My next step was to use the disc re - install for Vista Home Basic 32-bit.  He old programs saved in a folder "Windows.old" on the C: drive and completely re-installed everything back to the original.  After I checked in the "Windows.old" folder and recorded something she didn't lose (such as images and videos), I deleted as much as I could out of it.  The only thing I could not remove from it was 4 'driver files '.  For a while the computer trying to run 'chkdsk' on its own seizure began, but froze in the middle of it.  He finally ended the 'chkdsk' once and didn't try again since.  It downloaded and installed updates Windows of 100 or more on its own as well.

  After all, it still does the same thing he has with housing starts and shut downs.  The closure of downs occur not just in the middle of the execution of a given program; they occur at any time at random, even if I use the computer in safe mode.  She always goes through the whole stops the process with the "logging off" and "closing" legends, it is not as if the electric system is down.  The start-up occur randomly as well, even if a stop is purposely through the Start Menu or hold down the power button.  Sometimes, he's trying to start and shut down on its own several times without fully load.

  Again, sorry this is so long, but I would like to know if there is anything that can be done to get this thing to CUT IT OUT because my grandmother wants as his computer back!

• Windows 7 stops on its own without warning

  My pc running windows 7 Home premium keeps stopping on its own without warning - I checked and its not overheating there are a lot of ventilation. I was told that it may be registry settings but don't see why I should pay for a reg cleaner because I do not know if it will solve this problem

  A Reg cleaner will cause more problems than it will fix. If the PC stops while using it, then see the test below tools. If it stops while his idle then you will need to check and change your power plan.

  First try running Memtest86 +, that runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or
  confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours, so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• Windows Vista won't allow me to open my files in its own window

  I can't get Windows Vista change to allow me to open my files in their own windows. I was not able to do this since I bought this computer a few months ago. I thought I did something wrong, but I follow the directions to the T and it continues to open only the folders in the same window.  Y at - it something I'm doing wrong? I follow the directions for help and check open in its own window and yet it acts as if I do not change it... I apply and ok and press to apply to all the files and still nothing.

  I don't know what are the instructions you followed, so here is a series of instructions on opening the windows, including how open each instance in its separate window: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91587-open-folder-same-separate-new-window.html.  Read full article and follow ALL these instructions (there are parts you include in your post that are important to make it work - but then again you probably do not understand everything).

  In the meantime, to open a specific folder in a new window, you can right click on the file and click on open rather than explore.  This will open the folder in a new window.  It's an extra step, but it is a workaround until you find the answer (if the above did not answer it).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows has a mind of its own?

  A few weeks before that I demoted Win.8.1 of Win8. I can't support either.

  Tonight, I get a message that my computer needs to reboot for Win.8.1 can complete loading.

  I never said I wanted to move to 8.1. Windows has a mind of its own

  and upgrades to the next version without worrying about whether you want it or not?

  Well, I guess I'm stuck with 8.1.

  This happened to someone else?
  Bob

  It apparently * a * is happened to others, even though I have yet to see it happen first-hand (or with anyone I help/manage personally who chose to not move to 8.1 for a reason any.)

  If most of the 8/8.1 aversion is the interface - 8.1 is the best choice because it gives more options to customize without know entirely too much about the inner workings.

  If you don't mind a suggestion - check out the first post in this discussion to see if some of the suggested changes would help you with your discomfort with Windows 8.1 or not...

• Keyboard has its own life!

  I have a brand new T410i.     Running Windows 7.    I got it for a few days.   A couple of times already they keyboard has just gone 'crazy' on me.    I'll be typing away and then the cursor moves to the right, text will erase as I type it.  It happened when I was browsing the web and it will click links on its own... or if I do a Google search, search to return results once it will just open one of the links... The pointer will be difficult to control.    The only thing that fixes it is when I stop and restart Windows.    No rhyme or reason as to what triggers it.   My laptop was on during a few hours today and then he began to act up.    Any ideas?   I checked the drivers and according to Windows, it uses more updated drivers.

• I have an IMAc running on the latest version of El Capitan. MY blutooth followed pad has a mind of its own - opening windows and text highlighting / deletion.  In addition to this my screen keeps freezing and the spinning ball will appear.

  I have an IMac running on El Capitan 10.11.6. My bluetooth followed pad has a mind of its own - opening windows and text highlighting / deletion.  In addition to this my screen keeps freezing and the spinning ball will appear - I have to hold down the back of the screen to force it to close.  This message of the 2 line took almost an hour to type as I have no control on the touchpad.

  Hello Kluggerjo,

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

  I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

  If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

  If you experience any problems or have any questions, please let us know. The entire community is here to help.

• Firefox has its own flash player so I can delete adobe?

  I would like to know if firefox has its own built flash player, like adobe a safety risk and I would delete it please.
  Thank you.

  Unfortunately, no, for sites that require Flash, it isn't really good substitute.

  Earlier today, Adobe has released an update to solve critical problems, he admitted were in the 18.0.0.203 version. You can get 18.0.0.209 on this page:

  https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  In the first table, find the row corresponding to "browser plugin", and you can use either the EXE or the MSI installer.

  To ensure that the Setup program can remove the older version, either out of Firefox or close all the tabs using the Flash before you do the update.

  That said, the Flash can still have secret flaws that have not yet come to light. In fact, it seems likely enough. Until this ordeal of previously unknown security flaws shakes, you might want to try this and see how it fits. To set the Flash "Ask to activate", after you have reinstalled it, open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

  Then when you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

  If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash. You have the choice to allow for a period of time or permanently.

  But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification. It will just sit there in case you later want.
