• 'Permit' content remote not displayed

  I will have questions, displaying a remote content Thunderbird 38.3.0. When the window 'Options' poster I say to him and have even went in the settings and told to leave during the whole of the domain i.e. walmart.com and it still gives me a command prompt to view the contents remotely whenever I have the message. I checked that 'show' is set to "original HTML" and still have the same problem.

  Other than global enabling remote all THE contents of all sites (and not even sure if it will work) is at - it a fix for this problem?

  Thank you

  Thanks, I'll look more closely at these emails 'blocked' and see if there are other areas listed in there. For some strange reason my exception list has completely disappeared today so I can start to add news and see how it works (well).

  I think that perhaps one of the problems that I was saying just to show the remote content to the first entry (e-mail address), thinking that this would add all of these secondary entrances to the areas listed below. I'm guessing that may not work that way and best just click on all areas instead of the registered e-mail address.

• Windows 7 remote assistance displays garbled desktop

  I'm trying to connect to the asus laptop of my mother to help her, but each time, remote assistance is used, the his office appears in monochrome color and is coded/biased. This is not a problem of the internet, because the connection is through our internet and home network is not used to establish the connection. Between the two laptops Remote Desktop works fine, not display problems what so ever. so I don't think that it is a configuration issue with the router or other system. Unfortunately we have only two systems win7 (my laptop and my mums), so test it with a third windows 7 PC is not possible. I'll try to connect using my XP Pro desktop computer, but I expect that it does not at all due to differences in OS version.  my moms laptop has some kind of custom AMD/ATI discrete video card that is not able to use AMD drivers, so im not able to upgrade to the latest version of the drivers on his cell phone. My laptop has, however, the last driver from NVidia (314.22) package because it is the video card.

  Yet once again, this problem is NOT with Remote Desktop, which works very well between our two PC.

  This is NOT a connection problem. I am able to connect to his PC, very well.

  The question is when his office is shown through the Windows remote assistance program.

  I have already run all the troubleshooters there, who have found NOTHING of EVIL.

  the remote assistance connection is made using easy connect through our home network.

  * and what is Remote Desktop connection software in windows 7? (next to the Windows Remote Assistance) 

  
  
  looking for help

  First of all know what version of Windows 7 is running on the computer you want to access remote/control. Go to the Start button and type winver in the search window. Windows will report to the version in a pop-up window on your desktop.

  ***********************************

  Assuming that the computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate or Pro...

  The main steps are...

  • Activate [DRC] Remote Desktop on Windows 7 Ultimate DRC PC host.
  • If the login ID DRC on the Windows 7 Ultimate DRC host PC is not an administrator, and then add the user to the remote desktop users group. Don't forget the DRC connection user ID are local on the host Windows 7 Ultimate DRC PC not the DRC PC client.
  • Make sure that there is an exception in the Windows Firewall, or any third-party firewall on the Windows 7 Ultimate DRC host PC.
  • If the host Windows 7 Ultimate DRC PC is behind a router make sure that TCP Port 3389 is transferred to the LAN IP (static is preferable) of Windows 7 Ultimate DRC host PC.

  You can test TCP Port 3389 port through your router forwarding by going to the http://www.canyouseeme.org test site. For help setting up through any router port forwarding, go to the PortForward.com site for help. Ignore references to UDP Port 3389.

  http://PortForward.com/English/applications/port_forwarding/Remote_Desktop/Remote_Desktopindex.htm

  Test call Windows 7 Ultimate DRC host PC from another PC or laptop computer on your local network using its LAN IP address (static is preferable).

  http://theillustratednetwork.MVPs.org/RemoteDesktop/TroubleshootingDiagrams/Basic.html

  To call from a remote location using the public IP address of the router to the PC host of Windows 7 Ultimate DRC is behind or a full domain name [FQDN] of DynDNS (which I assume that you have already configured).

  Its highly recommended that you use Network Level Authentication [KLA] If you connect remotely from a Windows 7, Vista or XP SP3/SP2 client.

• Env var for linux guest DISPLAY

  Hello

  I received a prompt linux on a host computer XP using VMWare Player with tools. The host is connected to a network that has attached linux machines.

  I can telnet from within the guest to other machines on the network linux successfully. What I can't do is run a graphical application on one of those remote machines. It basically boils down to be impossible to define the environment variable DISPLAY on the remote computer to something that will allow the remote computer display things on my linux guest.

  Is it possible to do what I'm doing?

• Video output no longer works on MacBook Pro

  Yesterday the two DisplayPort outputs on my end 2015 MacBook Pro has stopped working. There has been no hardware or software, change the laptop or monitor (Dell U2715). They worked fine for months and now nothing. When I plug a monitor OS X (El Cap v10.11.5) does even not noticed - not flickering, flashing, etc.. Briefly waking up the monitors, as is they detect an electrical signal, but then don't detect any entry and to go back to sleep.

  I've tried a few things...

  1. Restarted several times
  2. Restarted and reset NVRAM EXTRA
  3. Forced to OS X to create a new com.apple.windowserver. [guid] ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost .plist file.
  4. tail-ed a lot of logs in/var/log everything by performing various tasks to display (disconnect, connect, change integrated LCD settings) and nothing seems to indicate a display problem. Actually there no written newspaper at all when connecting physics poster. The ONLY newspaper that is remotely associated display comes system.log and States ' DMProxy [64795]: AMBD Services: _CFXPCCreateXPCObjectFromCFObject failed! But this error repeats frequently and goes back the most old log file of the last week, when the screens were working very well.
  5. Connected to different external displays with the Mac and also received no output and no system log.
  6. The installation worked before was all DisplayPort connections at both ends. I tried to use the mark Apple Thunderbolt-> VGA and adapters HDMI to connect to different views, air-conditioned and with no output.
  7. I have connected a lightning strike-> Gigabit adapter to the same ports, and it has been detected by the operating system.

  Edit: The HDMI output also does not work and worked last week. So apparently all output video has failed...

• Satellite 5205 - after updating Bios - repairman / message call Bios

  Toshiba 5205 - repairman / call Bios - need help.

  I flashed my bio and the laptop locked in windows and not extinguished after the flash.

  Now when I turn on the laptop, I have no picture and the front of the laptop has a LCD remote that says: technician / call the BIOS.

  I already disassembled the laptop battery and let sit a day full to the bios killthe, but I get the same error and still no picture.

  How can I fix? The bio should be dead by now. Am just using CA power supply for power. I tried to connect the battery in and I also put battery back in. bio and I get the samething on the remote lcd display error message.

  There must be a way to work around this problem, if anyone knows please let me know.

  Hi Jim,.

  Unfortunately the battery will not reset your BIOS. The BIOS is maintained by a battery on your motherboard (CMOS or RTC battery) and you will need to disassemble your laptop to access the battery. Even remove the battery CMOS does not restore your BIOS, since it will be held in a non-volatile CMOS chip area.

  You will need to take your laptop to an authorized Toshiba Service Agent to be reflashed with a new BIOS chip.

• Need advice on buying a Qosmio G20-126

  Hello world
  I was just out of a shop of local electronics in a mall when I found a Toshiba Qosmio G20-126 for sale for $1361,47. And those are the specs for the laptop:

  Processor: Intel Pentium Centrino M770 / 2.13 GHz data Bus speed: 533 MHz, 2 MB Cache memory
  RAM: 2 x 512 MB DDR II SDRAM - 533 MHz
  Storage: 2 X drive: 100 GB Serial ATA-150 - 5400 RPM
  CD-ROM: DVD ± RW (+ R double layer) / DVD-RAM
  Type of card reader: 5 in 1 card reader, Blue Tooth, IR, remote control
  Display screen: 17 "to matrix active TFT, maximum resolution: 1440 x 900 (WXGA +), support for color: 24-bit (16.7 million colors), TruBrite
  Video card: 128 MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 - PCI Express x 16

  I have a laptop LG - P1 and Ca? s Specifications:

  Processor: Intel Core Duo L2400 1.83 GHz (Dual-Core), Memory Cache 2 MB
  RAM: 512 MB DDR II SDRAM - 667 MHz - PC2-5300
  Stroge: 80 GB - 4200 RPM

  Now, the sella? s man said that all parts of the G20 are dedicated and exactly similar to the parts office. Which means, I can upgrade the laptop normally as if I am upgrading a desktop computer (processor, sound, video card, Ram card). Is this true? And if so, can I replace my CD-ROM with a H-DVD it well? Finally buy the G20 or stick with my P1 do you recommend and why?

  Please help, I'm waiting for your replays.

  Kind regards

  Hey Buddy,

  You cannot upgrade the machine as a desktop computer. It s clearly not a desktop computer, it s a laptop.

  You can upgrade your RAM and POSSIBLY (but it s not taken in charge by the manufacturer and you will lose your warranty) internal DVD drive.

  That's all.

• AirPlay - aTV video, sound effects for AExpress: does not work with large files

  Hello!

  My setup

  • Internett--> modem (Cisco?) --> a/c Airport Extreme (latest high version)
  • iMac, iPad, 2 x iPhones. iMac installed Beamer.
  • Bedroom: AppleTV 3rd GEN rev A - hdmi--> LG TV (old). AirPlay ON, 'Apple TV room '. Connected to the local network of 5 GHz.
  • Bedroom: AirportExpress 1st GEN 802.11 a/b/g N-Draft (last type of those that go right into the socket) with AirPlay - stereo--> stereo BOSE. AirPlay ON, 'room '. Connected to the local network of 5 GHz I also tried to connect 2.4 GHz network, no significant variation...
  • Living room: AppleTV 4th Gen. - hdmi--> LG TV (new). AirPlay ON, "iTV."

  Problem (abridged version)

  Most of the time - but not every time - when I stream video + audio iMac to aTV and choose to listen to the audio portion of the aTV to a separate AExpress (which is connected to a better BOSE audio system), the movie will not play. Streaming both audio and video - and only - the aTV works perfectly, but then I have bad sound, since I use the TV's internal speakers. What is reasons for it? Tips to fix it?

  Problem (full version)

  Every time when I stream video and audio from large multimedia files (about 3-4 GB .mkv) of the iMac (Beamer) on the ATV to the room, I didn't encounter any problem. Buffering is fast (2-4) and there is no delay or other negative experience. Unfortunately, as with all flat TVs, the sound of the TV is poor. Since I have a BOSE sound system, placed around this TV, I like to use it for audio. As I do this is - after the streaming media file (Beamer) iMac to the bedroom aTV - pressing the Center "Select" button during 1 sec on the remote to display the "audio" preferences and select money "Chamber" (AExpress related to the BOSE sound system). In this way, I think that audio + video is streamed to the iMac on the ATV in the bedroom, and the sound is then broadcast the ATV to the AExpress. This is where the problem occurs. Sometimes it works very well, as today in the morning. No lag and everything works fine. But most of the time, after changing the preference "audio" in the sound stream for the BOSE, the beginning of the play symbol buffering becomes the symbol of the break and nothing happens. I hit play again and the symbol of the game / buffering symbol lights up for a few seconds, and then again to pause. She never starts.

  The problem usually occurs with heavy multimedia files / large size 1080 p and 3-4 GB, not with the simplest 720 p files weighing about 1 to 2 GB. This makes me think it's a matter of WiFi capability. But if my WiFi network should not be able to manage that? I think that the apple TV in the bedroom and the AExpress uses the N standard, so it is the limiting factor. But if this interface should not be able to handle the traffic? Is it true that do what I do - separate the video and audio - use twice the network traffic?

  I also want to mention that everything works perfectly at certain times, like this morning. Last night (12 h) it wouldn't work at all... Perhaps there are more traffic yesterday (Saturday) evening.

  Questions (summarizes all Qs in text and some new)

  1. My network be able to handle the traffic encountered at the stream video + audio iMac to mountain BIKING in the room and streaming audio of ATV to AExpress at the same time?
  2. It is true that this configuration requires / use twice the network resources?
  3. Do you also think that my problem is caused by a network limited issue / the amount of data PR. second?
  4. I have a new (flat unit with power cord separate) Airport Express. This device manage more traffic and thus possibly resolve my problem?
  5. Other suggestions to solve my problem?

  Sorry for long post, but I think that its better with much info little. Have a great Sunday =)

  I think I can explain the reason for the problem... but I have little experience with sound problems... so you will need to figure out a work around.

  The nature of wireless networks, it's to manage the stream very well... but they are much less good at the sensitive time of things like multimedia transmission continuously. In fact, if you want to stream multimedia content over wireless, it is preferable to use specialized units... no wifi. I have a 3D projector and home theater system that uses a special wireless link from Epson to the projector... It is amazing that it can handle the required data of 3D projection. It does so by using 60GHz or some these extremely high FREQ... and totally dedicated units... no wifi. In the end, we ran an HDMI cable in the wall... it was largest wireless but not could be started reliably. Wireless is simply not ready for the big time of streaming video high definition even when dedicated.

  Wireless network adapter... It is wifi, can handle only one connection at a time and it time slices between clients. It's also half-duplex, so it can only send or receive... it can't do both at the same time.

  On the other hand, modern interrrupteurs ethernet can stream to multiple devices at the same time. It can also handle send them and receive at the same time... That is to say in full duplex. This is why the networks ethernet much more suitable for media streaming wireless never can be.

  As soon as you try to use double flow... even if it is audio (low bandwidth) and a video (broadband), you will cause huge delays to the video component. The video stream has literally if stop to give the time to the audio to catch up... you can immediately see where this will lead. Low resolution, it might work... but at high resolution, there is bandwidth inadequate considering the Division of time.

  It would be much better to use the audio on the TV. Or check if the TV itself has audio output... that plug into the standard analog audio system RCA or it could even have out optical. Who will then provide a means by which the flow must not be split. My samsung smart TV offers you both.

  The other solution probably won't be viable... execution of ethernet.
