technical advice help appreciated!

Hi everyone... help! My laptop fell off the table and struggled to come now. It is said that there is an error and heals attempt. When he arrived on the page to attempt repairs on it's there for hours until this I have no choice to the turn the power off. Ive tried clicking the continually key f8 but no joy. Any advice would be much appreciated. IM falling far behind with work and studies. Thank you

Hello

If the laptop is on when she fell, she may have damaged or corrupted hard drive...

He may have damaged the drive without worrying, or even something else...

One thing you might try is to RESTORE the machine to FACTORY...

This is different than an auto repair... There may be another key F8 to start the process... it varies according to the manufacturer... It is a key that you would hit as soon as you turn on.

My HP laptop requires that you press ESC to get other options to appear, for example.

Be aware that if you do this and it is successful, you will lose all data and programs that are on it, that were not pre-installed...

  • Need advice/help on Windows Vista Home Premium OS

    Hello. I use Windows Vista Home Premium for 2009. In the last months, I was faced with a lot of problems and I was wondering if I should re - install the operating system to eliminate the problems or is it better to upgrade to a newer version of Windows? My PC is too slow, it has recently been virus-ed, and every once in awhile, I get an error message saying "operating system not found '. Another problem is that some of the USB ports/CD readers simply do not work. I tried to install/upgrade to update drivers based on the information I see on the forums here and it works for a while, but later goes back to send me some *. Would appreciate some advice/help in this regard. Thanks, M.

    Hi, Meh17,

    "Operating System not found"

    This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

    • The basic input/output system (BIOS) does not detect the hard drive.
    • The hard drive is damaged.
    • Sector 0 of the physical disk has an incorrect or malformed master boot (MBR) record.

      Note Some third-party programs or the alteration of the disk can damage an MBR.

    • An incompatible partition is marked as Active.
    • A partition that contains the MBR is no longer active.

    Contact the manufacturer of your hardware

    Perhaps your best bet is contact the manufacturer of your computer or your hard drive. The manufacturer may have a utility that you can use to perform a more detailed analysis for the damaged areas of the disk and help verify the correct BIOS settings. However, the damage on your hard drive can be severe. Sometimes, this means that your only solution is to replace your hard drive.

    When I open a PDF file, I get the following message "invalid plugin detected Adobe Acrobat reader DC will leave" I reinstalled Adobe DC but still the same problem, it happens with all PDFs. Any advice much appreciated.

    Hi Stephen39,

    Do you have any 3rd party plugin installed for Adobe Reader? If not, close all instances of Adobe Reader running and delete the entire folder to: C:\program Adobe [version] \Reader\plug_ins.

    Now go to control panel > programs and features. Locate the entry for Adobe Reader X and choose to repair the installation.

    If you do not have a 3rd party plugin installed, try to uninstall them and see if the problem is related to the same. If it works, let me know what plugins have been the origin of the problem so that I can have a look.

    If all goes well, this should fix things.

    Thank you

  • My time machine is just stuck on the preparation of backup but does not - any help appreciated.

    'Préparation' is going to take ages if you did a Hard Reset on the Time Capsule.

    Make sure that you are not trying to save more wireless, which will take 3 - 5 times longer, on average, that direct Ethernet connection between your Mac and the time Capsule.

    Even with a direct Ethernet connection, you might see "Préparation" for a few hours before the real return to start.

  • Constant, failure to update, tried for several hours technical support help, recommended full could not uninstall and reinstall, install now freezes at 74%

    No, I'm really lost and I don't know what else to do and I'm not anxious to be on technical support for several hours again.

    My problem was originally that the hotfix update released last November failed to install. I ask on the forum for help, I got some good suggestions but nothing worked. Since Photoshop still worked I've just postponed the issue.

    Several months later, I decided to try everything I can to get the update to work. Created another Admin removed tried Photoshop by reinstalling. Still no. Tried several different things that do not work.

    I finally got with technical support, I allow access to my computer. They spent several hours uninstalling and reinstalling and not as I did. They did get more advances but after almost 4 hours, I was tired of looking at Photoshop do not settle.

    They said they have done all the troubleshooting that they could, and that the best option was to simply uninstall all Adobe and then reinstall it.

    I did tonight. Following the instructions here are using the Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems

    Now I'm stuck with freezing to 74% on installation of Photoshop. Further research led me to this Adobe CC 2015 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2015 Release | ProDesignTools

    Unfortunately, at the start of the installation, it cannot connect to the internet. I know that my connection is working because I can watch sites Web, but stops install on it. I try connecting later button and he asks a serial Code. I have CC so I is not a serial Code and may not try to generate a.

    If Photoshop used to work but not to update. Now it doesn't work at all.

    I'm desperate, I need help to solve this problem. Suggestions, ideas about why this is happening and what I can do to work around it? My number is 0187559333

    Finally managed to do work. I also tried the update and it worked also. It's been a long day.

    On the downloaded installation, there is an option to install a trial version or install a licensed version. The property stored fault due to the weird internet connection being found and the absence of an activation code. But the installation of the trial worked. Has exceeded the dreaded 74% and kept things.

    The end of installation, I opened creative cloud and looked at the applications tab. The update appeared later. I clicked top and too installed completely.

    Now I just hope the trial realizes that I have a legitimate CC account and that it does not lock me in the coming days.

  • Help appreciated...

    This issue is likely so simple, it's embarrassing.

    I created a logo in photoshop and then placed in a file of ID.  I wanted to add text here.  I've laid out, and it looks great.  Then, I combined the image and copied it place in the file of the correct size.   When I resize to fit and then click fit content to frame... everything works fine except the text is not resize.  It's incredibly frustrating.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Could get my head bitten for this, but... Convert the text to outlines, any resizing of the text it will be ok!

  • Lack an external SWF in the projection file... help appreciated.

    I created a press kit in Flash Catalyst that contains an mp3 player in the form of a SWF file. When I publish the catalyst project (run locally and deploy-to-web) mp3 player works perfectly. When I opened it the Main.swf in Flash Player, it works perfectly. When I create a file of projection (from Flash Player) the external swf (mp3 player) is missing.

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Mick

    Flash Catalyst does not incorporate the .swf file, then it must be present as well as your projection file in order to function properly.

    Try to place the projection file in the local copy of race and see if she works there. If this is the case, make sure that you copy the current folder wherever you place the final projection file.

    You may download your touchpad software which feeds it.  You can do it from the website of your computer manufacturer.  Just look at their section downloads/software/drivers.  You will take just the model number of your computer and they will present you all the drivers they have.  Just take one for the touchpad and install it.

    If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the THREE OPTION section below to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

    OPTION THREE

    2 in the elevated command prompt, copy and paste the following command and press enter.
    NOTE: This will place a file sfcdetails.txt on your desktop with only the SFC scan details of the results of the CBS. Log in this.

    Code:
    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

    5 when you are finished, you can safely remove the sfcdetails.txt file later if you wish.

    Tip
    If you need to replace a corrupted system file that SFC cannot fix, this will show you how to:

    If you have many files are corrupted, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any component store corruption, restart the PC after and try the sfc/scannow command.

    If you have only a little, then you could manually extract a new copy directly from your installation of Windows 8 DVD or USB thumb drive, or ISO if file in a virtual machine.
