• How to disable the "Insert smart card" dialog box keeps appearing after the connection?

  Running Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop Dell which includes and integrated smart card reader. My configuration does not require a smart card to log on. I was wondering if the smart card reader has worked, I plugged a card chip used on another system. The driver is installed automatically, so it appears the drive works.

  Now, whenever I log in, the "Insert smart card" dialog box is displayed. If I cancel or close the box, he continues to reappear every few seconds. How to disable this behavior?

  Update: this is somehow connected to Outlook 2003. I have 4 different e-mail accounts. The "Insert smart card" box appears only when checking for my att account (yahoo), which is configured by using POP3.

  Go to the Services.msc and check the settings for the smartcard (manual test) service.

  PS 29 December 2011

  The position of the OP, have been reported since a lot of this problem on the some notebooks Dell and HP. There are a few reports that a replacement of the motherboard fixed the problem and the other that the relocation of a certain connector (no mention of exaclly one that) solves the problem. Direct contact with the manufacturer of the laptop computer, Dell or HP wether, might be useful. Try a follow-up if you have already made contact.

• Malfunction of the mouse to a software problem?

  I have a desktop Dell 32 bit PC running Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.  For several days, I have been a few problems: when I handle the mail, if I click to remove a particular email sometimes one or two adjacent emails will be deleted.  When I write a note and skip a letter in a Word and go to make a correction using the slider, rather than let me do an insert, the nuances of software the letters to the right or left of the way we use it to delete a Word.  If I keep clicking the mouse and moving the slider back later, I'll get Gets the insert arrow.  Also, when I click on the message in the Inbox in addition to seeing the message dispalyed in its usual position below, I also get a second copy of it in a second window "average" that covers partially the first copy.  Although frequent, it does not invariably.  The latter problem also occurs when I use my word processor.  I thought that, maybe, my software is corrupted but then maybe his equipment.  Any ideas on that?  Thank you...

  Hi sjh001,

  1. what email software do you use?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. what type of mouse you are using?

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  As a work around, I would suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you connect a different mouse to the computer and check if the problem persists.

  I hope this helps!

• SMC is a hardware or software problem according to the warranty?

  Hello!

  Two months ago I bought a Mac book air (11 '') and now has problems. I give it to technical support and they tell me that they made a reset for SCM (System Management Controller). SMC is a software or hardware problem? According to the guarantee, do I have to pay something? Thank you!

  The management system (SCM) controller is on your card mother Mac Book Air. Thus, it is considered a hardware component and falls under your initial 12 months, new Mac and 3 years warranty if you have Apple Care protection.

  It can be reset with measures as simple as documented by Apple in this articleand external. Yes, you can do it yourself now.

  If someone dares to charge you to reset your SMC, then you look a thief seeking to you charge for a 1 minute plan.

• Computer laptop G62 crashed and now it gives error "unable to open because of the recent hardware or software error"

  I have a new problem with my PC. My laptop suddenly crashed. It was working fine before this, but while I was watching a movie, it's just off. I tried to restart but it gave me the error that it cannot open because of software or a hardware error. It gives me two options: 1. to try the Startup Repair tool. 2. to open Windows normally.

  I tried to open it normally, but it redirects me to startup repair. The Startup Repair is unable to do anything.

  =================================================================================

  Startup Repair can try to restore your computer to an earlier point in time when it worked correctly.

  This repair will not personal data change, but it can remove some programs that have been installed recently. You can't undo this restoration.

  =================================================================================

  Then I tried to restore my PC to a previous restore point, but it won't let me continue once I've selected a point. It only shows my C drive which is grayed out so I can't select and continue. It gives me a yellow warning saying that the Protection of the system disk must be enabled.

  So as the restoration is not an option, I went to the recovery of the system where it will restore my factory settings, deleting all data. The problem is that I have a lot of valuable data in the PC, so I don't want to do this before you have a back-up. I tried to make the back-up, but the first back-up was arrested at 78%. The second he stopped at 13%. After that all other attempts to create a backup stops at 25%.

  I don't understand what to do. People say it's a problem with Windows 7 (64-bit). I don't have a Windows 7 CD either because it was pre-installed when I brought. I have an original CD of Windows Vista so I'll try to install first. Then, I'll try to copy my data and then restore my laptop to its factory settings. I hope this works.

  A guy suggested to replace the names of readers. So I reversed the C drive and D drive. He showed me all the readers in the restore option. But the restore has failed. Then he renamed automatically drives to their original state. I even ran sfc/scannow, but it shows me that a scan is planned and restart the PC to start. But when I reboot, it gives me the same thing again.

  Please suggest what to do...

  I installed Windows Vista professional from the CD. It worked perfectly... I want to say that I was able to retrieve all my data because it stored in a folder called Windows.Old

  But since I could not the wifi adapter and integrated graphics card Intel to work on the PC, I tried to restore factory settings. It doesn't let me access the Recovery Manager by pressing F11 on reboot I went to the computer icon and right-click on it. I selected manage and made my recovery disk a partition active. So after reboot it properly started the Recovery Manager. Right now I'm it back to factory settings. I'll let you know what happens after that. My data is safe, but I don't know if I'll be able to load my original OS.

• followed the instructions of Mozilla to disable encryption WARNING guests but they keep appearing

  Encryption warning boxes keep appearing despite having followed the instructions of Mozilla on how to disable these guests! Can anyone help please.

  This particular security warning dialogue cannot be disabled - see the image I downloaded. But you can "continue" by clicking on the Enter key on the keyboard, instead of clicking on the button 'Continue' in this dialog box, so you don't have to use the mouse and take by the hand of the keyboard.

  If you're wondering why Mozilla displays this message and does not provide a method to turn it off, do a search for "Firesheep" and "Blacksheep". Users on wireless connections are particularly likely to see their interceptions when the stream of data is not encrypted. There is a false sense of security by a Web site with an encrypted connection to connect to a Web site, but the cookie (which keeps this connection information) the Games Web site is "out in the open" when the connection goes to unencrypted when you leave this login page.

• I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit: can I switch to a 64 bit OS and keep the same apps, hardware and software, I already have?

  I have a system of 3 GB/500 GB HD in Inspiron 530 Dell, Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  I need to restart more frequently and the system works more slower and slower... so I think the upgrade.  Can I move to a 64 bit OS in Windows 7 or 8 and keep the same hardware and software, applications that I already like Office 2007, Photoshop Elements, etc... ?  What are the benefits to 64-bit?

  Hello

  There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.

  It should be down with a clean install.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
