  Hello

  Check your drivers manaully and also seek programs of control of the video camera that could
  be separated on the manufacturer's website if there is one any of them.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

  I'm sorry that I post back. I was given an offer too good to refuse services HP customer. They accepted the Ultrabook returned as a RTB at their expense, and when I came back, it was in full working order, although costs in Factory mode. Fortunately, all the important things I have are on the cloud then I lose nothing of note.

  I would like to thank HP for do this, even though it was out of warranty, and the Ultrabook does not glitched at all since I got back.

  Hello. I use a laptop Touch B50-30 Energy Star. It came with Windows 8.1. Recently, it is automatically promoted to the 10 Windows (which I really like). Unfortunately, since the upgrade, when I press the power button / the Lenovo logo appears on the screen, and then everything goes black and stays like that until I turn the power and then restart with the power again button.

  Have you tried to use the brightness (f11 and f12) keys? In my case they have started working in the opposite direction, so by pressing f11 lights up the screen and f12 it fades. The opposite of what to do...

• Windows 7 64 bit computer crashes when loading flash games or during video playback, forcing a manual reboot.

  My computer freezes completely at random times while playing the flash games or watching videos. In this case the mouse and keyboard stop working. If this happens during the video with sound, it makes a noise very loud signal blocked by speakers that continues until I restart the computer. The only way to recover is to manually restart the computer with the reset button.

  I tested different browsers to see if that was the problem, but it will happen in 3 I - IE, FF and Chrome.

  I allows Windows to update itself at will and he has recently updated the video drivers and the wireless mouse and keyboard drivers, but this problem has occurred before and after these updates. There is an update that is still not well, and is an update of Java. I don't know how to fix it or if it even is related.

  I checked the Windows error logs and Windows saves any errors before the Frost, so not obvious (to me) clues it. I tried searching for answers to my question, but forgive me, in this forum the language a bit above my head (Tip: simple answers, please).

  Hi mkm.

  Were there any hardware or software changes made at the time the blue screen appeared?

  I suggest to close the PC and remove all devices in addition to the screen, the keyboard and the mouse.

  If the computer works without a blue screen for a reasonable period of time, you can start to add them one at a time to see if a specific device that is causing the error back.

• question on "How to call a method once when starting the application"

  Hello everyone.
  
  I'm trying to implement that article "How to call a method once when you start the application" by Frank suggests.
  https://blogs.Oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/how_to_invoke_a_method
  
  
  Suppose I want to have a single entry point, so in my login.jpsx I have the below:

  <f:view beforePhase="#{login.onBeforePhase}">

  In the 'onBeforePhase' method, I have to pass the phaseEvent, since the signature is as follows:

  public void onBeforePhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent)

  But how do I know the phaseEvent during the call to the login.onBeforePhase? How the call should be?
  
  Thank you very much!
  
  
  PS. I use jDev 11.1.2.1.0

  You must not pass something to this method, this method is called before each Phase except view restoration
  Just write logic as Frank suggested to the phase in which you want the code to run. You can get the PhaseId analogues

  PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE

  public void onBeforePhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent) {// from Frank's doc
   //render response is called on an initial page request
    if(phaseEvent.getPhaseId() == PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE){
  ... etc

  A few videos that use the Flash plugin contain a menu entry in the context menu that allows to disable hardware acceleration in flash player.

  To disable the mode you will need to edit the file C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg as explained in the knowledge base article protected.

• HP G70-111EM - Windows Vista 32-bit (Trying to set at the factory and keep getting error 1002)

  Dear HP support and users,

  Model: HP G70-111EM

  I've had this laptop since December 26, 2008.  Last week something was wrong on the laptop, I think managed to install the Vista program 2011 Anti Spyware of viruses on the laptop by mistake and I was not able to remove it with anti-spyware or anti-malware.  So decided to return the computer as long as factory setting by using the HP RESTORE DVD that I created in the past of the laptop.

  Then inserted the DVD and the beginning of the process until I got error 1002.  Now I can't do anything.  The hard drive seems to have been formatted so all the information was deleted, but I start the process of reinstalling VISTA.

  I am really lost do - what I need to do to solve this problem.  I have a laptop £450.00, which has an operating system that is hidden in a partition, but how can I reinstall it when the DVD of RESTORATION HP continues giving error 1002.

  

  Thank you all for your support but no luck.  I decided to buy windows 7 32 bit and install on the laptop.  I had some problem with wifi work only not with Windows 7 32 bit.  But guys on the forum helped me with that.

  So no more Windows Vista for me.

  Thanks to all and no thank you HP, as it cost me £150 for the copy of Windows 7.

• Windows Vista (32 bit) stops responding after installing the program...

  Hello.

  Recently, my Dell XPS M1530 (Windows Vista 32-bit) has been extinguished during the execution of the system updates (we had a power outage during the night and I didn't) and would only start in safe mode. I moved all my documents on a portable HARD drive and reinstalled the operating system to try to save the computer.

  After I did that and reinstalled the drivers (downloaded from the Dell site via my system identification label), I started to load my programs on it (Adobe, Microsoft Office, etc.). After I install a program and exit the installation window, Vista stops responding. I can't click on the Start button (the mouse will go over it, but it does not allow me to select) or one of the other button I have in my toolbar. I can't click anything in the Dock of Dell at the top of my screen, either.

  The only way to turn off the computer must press and hold the Power button until the laptop turns off. I HATE doing this, but there is no other way to turn it off once a program has been installed.

  Any thoughts on what is happening here? I hope this is just some kind of error on my part - I can't afford to get a new machine. I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7 (my machine can handle), but I don't want the same problem occurs.

  Thanks for your help in advance!

  Hello

  As you re-installed Windows and the problem persists the rules well enough software. The power
  failure should be accompanied by a power surge or other that has caused a problem in the computer.

  Makes it sound like there are hardware problems that can probably be repaired. Have you looked at the system
  by a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a Best Buy or other stores) or Support of Dell.

• Installed wireless Belkin, unable to see network, get error windows cannot configure this wireless connection and starting the WZC abuse

  Hello

  I have a belkin wireless router that worked on my primary computer and a portable computer for years.

  Recently, I moved my main computer and now it dosnt seem to work. Belkin is installed but when I ask to see available networks, it says that windows cannot configure this wireless connection and starting the WZC abuse. Belkin still works fine on my laptop so I know no there is not a problem here. Can someone help me please? I tried to type in %SystemRoot%\system32\services.mcs\s as with a question of people, but all I get is windows can't find this.

  Any ideas please?

  Thank you

  * original title - Help... problem with belkin wireless *.

  Let's see if I can cut through it.

  You wrote:

  Click the Wireless Networks (see this picture) - I did

  Is the box 'Use Windows to configure my wireless network' checked or unchecked? There is no such box.

  I connect using - he says belkin. another box saying this connection uses the following items. then underneath there are 3 tabs - install, uninstall and properties. If I press on properties it says name provider and in this box, it says windows index.

  It seems that you don't have not clicked the "Wireless networks" tab, after you open the properties of your wireless adapter.  From your description, you look at the 'Général' tab: click HERE to see the "Général" tab Click HERE to see the 'Wireless Networks' tab.

  There are 5 columns: name, description, status, startup type and log as.  The values for the last 3 columns should be started, automatic and Local System - on my screen there are 4 tabs at the top - general, connect you, recovery and dependency.

  You skipped a step... 5 columns are in the 'Services' window initial... you arrive at "4 tabs at the top", AFTER you double-click the Wireless Auto Configuration.

  Status of the service which includes 4 boxes. stop suspend and resume. the button highlighted in the start menu

  Just to the right of the expression "Service status", you should see a Word.  On your system, this word probably is "stopped."  The 4 buttons (boxes) are how to control the service.  Because you said that the highlighted button is 'start' which means that the service is currently stopped, and you will need to click on this button "start" to start.

  I strongly suspect that you had used the Belkin utility to control your adapter - and now, you also started WZC.  As I wrote above, you can have both running at the same time.

  When you click the icon of your "Belkin", do you have a screen that looks like this: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/img/2006/belkinn1/08.jpg

  If so, you should return to the utility Services and 'Stop' the automatic configuration service.  If you want to use WZC instead of the Belkin utility, see http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/40/related/1

  I'm not familiar with the Belkin Wireless networking utility, but many wifi manufacturer utilities can be used to turn your wifi on and off, then maybe your was off (the adapter on your computer - not the router).  If you identify the model of the card you have in your main computer, I'll see if I can find the manual on the Belkin website and maybe give you a little more information.

• Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

  My system worked properly on 25 April and then something happened and now the machine comes back with "Start menu options" but will not start in one of the listed options, modes result in the same outcome.  System also starts on the Vista CD.

  System begins to boot normally, shows the tracer Green Windows at the bottom of the screen, then the mouse pointer appears and moves but the rest of the screen remains black.

  That's it, that's all what he will do.  I checked the settings of the computer and ran the diagnostic tests available and everything seems to go fine and passes all the tests.

  I worked on my own computers for over 20 years and never been stumped before, but I must say this is a first, and I have no idea what to try to do it now.

  Help or direction is appreciated.

  original title: Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

  See if there is a way to tecover clean your data before doing a restore to conditions of factory that will wipe the drive of all.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (which you will need to do on another computer).  Starting on this disc and lla should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.

  So since you seem to have no other alernatives, you can try retoring the original factory computer options. However, if it is a hardware problem as could very well be the case, you can still encounter problems after even this drastic step.  Then you will need to consider in a reputable computer repair shop (NOT Geek Squad or or a any of these big store centers) or maybe even go back to the manufacturer for repair.   Check out several options and compare the costs, quality and guaranteed and then make your best decision.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
