Yes!
It's a scam and with various names and phone numbers, is
very frequent lately.
In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
where confidential information they stole.
So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
immediately:
1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
financial sites.

Several questions in the computer.
Hello
I use my computer a lot. I sell on ebay and my computer is on and in use about 16 hours a day. I'm not really computer smart, but know a little.
When I try to REList an item on ebay and need to edit or delivery, the part of the list of the description is in html. When he uses to say "Add description" below, it would mean standard and HTML, which is no longer there. The other day I received a warning message that says script site. I am very frustrated because I need to REList items. My computer is 3 years old. He began to gel, cannot do a thing. I have to use Ctrl alt delete and start again. The other night, the screen went black. I am wanting to buy a new computer, but my husband thinks I should try to start the computer around as if it were new. Don't know what to do. I am able to access the correct display for ebay on my husband's old super computer, so it's something on my own.
Thanks for your help

Several questions on the computer of Windows 8.
OT: Help me please...
with a degenerative brain disease of more changes of today have totally confused me - particularly the visuals - everything I had the habit of pages is changing - google - my email - my ISP - it's just too take taken enough inside long to get used to win 8 - todays updates are the worst for me - stress and anxiety today don't contribute - what should I do - give up the computer? -I live alone, but not home - my computer has been my lifeline - now I'm afraid its my Glas...
Your programmers need to start working on programs for the mentally handicapped who are literate and have some of their spirit on them - but change led to confusion... and there are too many change!
Pls reply to my email.
Most of that is not something that we can really control. Google for example like to keep things fresh and constantly changing their drawings and models and options and things. But as you have seen, it is certainly not a behavior limited to just Google.
One of the best things I can recommend is really the most consistency, to choose a program like you who can interface with the service, still provide compatible environment. Taking the e-mail for example, instead of using Gmail or your ISP site that allows to change, use a program such as Windows Live Mail that will not change (because it's a program installed that won't change unless you intentionally go get a new version). So no matter what happens on the site of the ISP, your mail will still look and work the same way.

Facing questions on the computer of Windows 8
Hi there, my desktop computer (with windows pre-installed 8) worked well for 12 months, until it upgraded to windows 8.1. blue screen basically said that windows did not load properly (or works for this purpose) I'm not particularly good with computers then taken to a computer shop. The computer shop asked for the disc of windows 8 that I have, but not the blue liner with the code license. The computer shop said that they do help me more. Cannot so one get a permit for the drive I have? Or am I sabotaged?
concerning
Mick
Since you had windows installed 8.0 when you bought your computer, you should have a recovery Partition and when you perform a restore will be automatically retrieved the activation key and your Windows is activated. Product keys are now stored in the motherboard. Use the disk that you have if it came with your computer and your Windows 8 will be activated automatically. If the disc is from another source, it will not work unless you buy a new product key. Buy the way I would do the computer shop to solve your problem or refund you. Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

To sort music between library computer and Media Player? How pay you the difference? I download music from Windows Media Player, but some files go to the library of the computer and do not show up in Media Player...?
Hi Phoenixshadows1956,
The music, videos and pictures libraries windows point to the files that store the files of real media on your computer. The Player library simply contains links to multimedia files, but gives you greater control of how you organize and use your digital media content than the Windows folders do.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Windows-Media-Player-library-frequently-asked-questions
You question default save location. The default save location determines where an item is stored when it copied, moved or stored in the library. Access the link below to learn more about customizing a library.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/customize-a-library
You can use Windows Media Player Library to organize your entire digital media collection on your computer, including music, videos and photos. Access the link to learn more about how to manage and add items to the Windows Media Player library.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/add-items-to-the-Windows-Media-Player-library
To remove items from the Windows Media Player library, access the link below and follow the steps.

You can also useWindows Media Player to quickly find and play your music, video and image files on your computer.

Maximum time that my processor of the computer used 100% in windows XP.

What I understand from the information you provide is that the computer does not work as expected and that the CPU usage is high most of the time.
If that's what the issue is, I would say you have to go through this article and see if it helps.
If it doesn't then please respond with more information on the question if we can help you best.
Thank you!

I work in the it Department in a company and recently we have improved some of the computer to windows 7. For security reasons, computers must be locked when they are inactive for 30 minutes. The problem is that if another user needs to use the computer, it must be connected to the wide, because even the "shut down" and "restart" were removed from the "locked" screen Now on XP, in addition to these two options, we may also log in as a different user.
So my question is: is there a way to unlock the computer apart to disconnect the power cable? Should ' t the administrator be able to unlock it?
Thank you
André

I can't get on the Internet with this computer, what I did wrong and how to fix? Thank you
Find the details / specifications of the computer. Find a person or a place you can then download the required drivers for the missing persons and 'download '. Then, create a CD or store them on a USB key. Then, put the CD / USB stick in the "problematic" computer then start install drivers. A quick list of the driver:
Computer / motherboard chipset drivers
Ethernet card drivers
These should be the 'minimum' necessary drivers to get your computer to re - connect to the Internet and then you can fill in the rest
