    2. where are the documents and multimedia files stored?

    3. have you made a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

    If you are referring to an unknown account with a SID string, then try these steps and check if it helps.

    a. go to the folderwhere you saw this string SID.

    b. right-click and select Properties. Click the Security tab.

    I've seen other people having this problem too and their problem solved by using the link "file repair". I tried this also - no effect...

    It seems to be a pure display problem, as all emails are there, and when I click on a specific location where a specific e-mail was supposed to appear, I can open the e-mail OK. I have no insight of what is in my Inbox. When I keep my mouse on the account of the column in the left window, a little black watch too, with all the new messages being listed.

    I don't have this problem with one of my email accounts has seven. All the others work fine, and this is also several weeks until what stopped it a few days ago.

    Restarting the computer does not help.

    I use Ubuntu 14.04 as the operating system.

  • Slow PC - machine has sent to the repair shop and they put illegal windows in this regard.

    My computer was working very slow so I pit to the computer store your said they would have to clean it.

    but when I got it back I force see much difference, so my friend took a glance at it is when we discovered

    my windows was illegal. I have a restore CD provided with my computer when I bought it, but it won't work.

    I asked these people why thay take off my windows in the cheek with his fist, but not just any what joy

    It is unlikely that it is slow because it's an 'illegal' version of Windows.  -How did you find this determination?

    If the key prodcut on the sticker on the machine does not match the product key for the operating system installed/running - which does NOT automatically make it an illegal copy.  Some companies use their key "volume" during the installation of the massive numbers of computers - knowing your license is good through this certificate of Authenticity sticker that has a product key that you can use in an emergency.

    What is the brand and model of the computer?

    Do you know system specifications (processor brand, speed and number of cores, memory/memory RAM of the system; hard disk total size and available free space; brand of video card and the amount of memory dedicated to it; etc...)?  If so - can share you them here?

    As for the cleaning of Windows XP... There are some things you can do.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • The enamel of my apple account has not changed, although I did and every day I'm asked to verify my password since then. It's extremely annoying. What should I do?

But since the tthen all the days I turn on my IPhone or IPad I'm asked to verify my password of my Apple which seems to be always related to old email ID! It's really boring to do so every day. I turned on my Apple TV, and he asked the iTunes Sore for former Apple ID password once again. I don't really know what to do. What, then, is the pint to change your email address linked to the ID and the password if it does not recognize the new password.
