    These messages are never true. Microsoft does not have lotteries, and
    Microsoft does not send e-mails.

    It is a complete scam. Do not respond to it.

  • Received a call of 'Microsoft Partner' £100 to fix the virus csrss.exe eager...

    I received a call from Aishaz Tech informing me, I got the "csrss.exe"virus and that they could solve the problem for me for £100, which is the cost of the "Microsoft Tools" necessary to solve the problem.  They said that I not able to repair myself, nor anyone else would have had none of these tools and they are a Microsoft partner.  I run MS Windows 7 Home Preimium.  I didn't even notice that I had a problem.  There is only one version of crss.exe in the running task manager (although I can't open the file location) and I have had no other problems such as unexpected POPs Windows that other people with this virus are complaining about.

    How can I know that this is not just a scam to get 100 pounds of me?
    How can I know that I even the virus?
    How do they know I have the virus and where they got my phone number from?
    Is it also true that not even reformat the HARD drive and reinstall all the software from scratch can solve the problem?

    They asked me to use "Teamviewer" free software to enable them to take on my screen, showing me the 'evidence' that I got the virus csrss.exe by:
    (1) running msconfig and showing me that much Microsoft services in the Service tab have the status 'arrested '.  They said all Microsoft services in the Service tab are essential and must always be running - is this true?
    (2) they ran regedit and viewd under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SAFETY record, for which the data column says (value not set) and told me that it meant my anti-virus did not work (I use AVG Free, who says he runs and certainly seems to be analyzes all incoming e-mails).  Nobody knows what the data column should be in it?
    (3) they then looked at what is called prefetch, showed me loads of entries with numbers and no names of recognizable program or file which said, contained the virus.
    4 BACK), they ran a tree, sending loads of country names and other information too fast to read the screen, followed a sentence saying your antivirus software is out of date or does not work and an urgent need to be updated.  But I keep my AVG anti-virus updated software automatically.
    I don't know what to do and I am really worried about what they could do with my computer while they were back online.  Someone at - it good suggestions please?

    I don't know if Microsoft would take interest because they have themselves identified (many claim come / working on behalf of Microsoft/Windows).

    Your main course would be your local trading standards office find a letter enough to follow through is going to be extremely lucky.

    The Police has a role through the Central cybercrime Police Unit (info here, puts it's national) Although the report must be done locally and the same COMPUTER literacy issue may arise as to Trading Standards. Perhaps mention the group could wake up a local Plod that they should actually do something, but that you have not paid what was then a crime took place?

    PS as you have no evidence as such a problem of recovery is far away still.

  • I have a problem with the American version of Firefox layout for printing in millimeters and the default page as A4 instead of the letter size.

    The default page size is A4 instead of the letter in the American version of Firefox (10.0.2). I know it was the letter before. The margins were 0.5 inch now is 12.7 millimeters. What happened twice. I unloaded the extensions I thought that maybe caused this, but nothing helped. It is a pain to export all bookmarks, uninstall Firefox and remove all traces of the program and reinstall. Is there a way to default on letter with thumb size margins?

    I deleted the resolved status as you indicate that you have not fixed yet.

    You opened the topic: config page through the address bar and put impression in the filter at the top?

  • I need to stop windows to install the IR Transmitter/Receiver when I reboot so I can use the console for Fallout New Vegas

    To use the console or a cheat mode on Fallout New Vegas, I need to uninstall my infrared transceiver. When I do that, I have to restart the computer for the changes to take effect. Once I reboot, windows pops up a window saying that it has installed new drivers. Happens if fast, I can not open the game before the pilot completed the installation. Help!

    Hello

     
    If you want the windows do not install the infrared transmitter when Windows restarts you can remove the connection of the transceiver to the computer or try to disable it in Device Manager. You may consult:

    (a) open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and security, and then, under system, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (b) search for the device transmitter/receiver IR, right click on the device and turn off.
     
    For more information about the game, I suggest you to contact game provider support site.

    Hi windancer,.

    It may be a problem of keyboard as Richard suggested.  If it's a laptop, it may be that you hit the touchpad when you type.  I suggest this because I used to do that myself when entering some letters on my laptop.

    If this is the case, there may be a control panel option to disable the touchpad when you type, or you could try to install something like touchfreeze (http://code.google.com/p/touchfreeze/), who will do exactly that.

  • Printing of documents that contain the letter and legal-size pages - Laserjet 600 M602

    We have a printer Laserjet 600 M602, that does not automatically select a tray to print every time someone tries to print a document that contains the letter so many pages of legal size.  The default printer for the Tray 1 (Manual power) and the user will have to walk over to the printer and the printer to select the correct tray.  I went in the printers settings via the web interface and I set the tray settings to the following: Tray 1 - any Type of Size/Any, bin 2 - letter/plain, plateau 3 - legal/Plain and it still does not print correctly.  Unfortunately for the printer settings, it was on that I'm comfortable doing.  I read the print driver may have changed, but we use the driver included with the disc and I guess that it would be sufficient that this driver.  Does anyone know of some setting that I might be able to change the printer or if it is indeed a print driver problem?  Any comments would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    I was able to receive help this morning from HP support.  He turns out, there were two things that I needed to change.  The first is that when printing from a pdf file, there is an option in the print area for "Choose paper according to the size of PDF page source" and the second thing, it was with the printer printing preferences.  In the printing preferences, under the "Printing shortcuts" tab, the paper Type has been set to Prepunched.  We changed this Unspecified.  After making these two changes, the user is able to print correctly in the printer.

    At the level of the JavaScript document

    Allow only characters that match the regular expression

    }

    function validateFullMemberId (value) {}

    Try to download it from another browser.

    Disable all third party such as antivirus spyware applications, and so on.

  • Scrip to set the letter spacing and word spacing

    Is it possible in a script to set the letter spacing and the wee to the file for all paragraphs? I have a built script that can do it through to reapply the paragraph styles, but that doesn't really work for the project I'm on. I defined the word and spacing on a preset for the entire document, but keep the current styles that are applied to all. There are about 2000 files and they were all created on a 15 year + period so tried to make sure I have the correct styles names to reapply them in the script that I have I do not think is an option.

    Thank you

    I found what I was looking for in a replica of Jongware in another post on the wee change. The only thing that has been mising letter spaincg lines was easy enough to add. Here's what I ended up with.

    app.findTextPreferences = null;

    app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Times New Roman";

    foundItems = app.activeDocument.findText ();

    for (i = 0; i

    {

    foundItems [i] .minimumWordSpacing = 100;

    foundItems [i] .desiredWordSpacing = 100;

    foundItems [i] .maximumWordSpacing = 200;

    .minimumLetterSpacing foundItems [i] = 0;

    .desiredLetterSpacing foundItems [i] = 0;

    .maximumLetterSpacing foundItems [i] = 0;

    }

    Thanks Jongware

  • Try to update the Inspiration browser received the download error message

    Hello!  I'm new to Photoshop 10 and quite a little old lady who has little idea of what I'm doing here.  I followed all the instructions and deleted the browser of Imagination I had, but when I click on download the update, I received the message "a download error occurred.  Try again. "I have tried again and again with no luck.

    I guess the browser of the Imagination is important and I need it until I do?  It is important that I have Windows 7?

    See if this Adobe document helps:
