Hello
I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:
Method 1:
If you have installed a security software on the computer, then I suggest you try to disable temporary and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable security software back once the diagnosis is made to prevent the computer from virus attacks.Method 2:
Try to perform the clean boot, and then check if it helps:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353NOTE: When you are finished troubleshooting, make sure that you reset the computer in start mode normal such as suggested in step 7 of the above article.

trouble with - if an empty field, then another field must be empty
IM in trouble with this code. What I do is take a time of entry by the user and adding 10 minutes and displays the new value in a second field. However if the input by the user field is empty, then the second field should also be empty. Here is the code that I use and it is located in the area of personalised calculation of the second field (also tried in the part of the second field validation.)
var strStart = this.getField("Break2O").value; strStart = strStart + " 1/1/70"; if(strStart.length) { var timeStart = util.scand("h:MM tt m/d/yy", strStart); var oNext = timeStart oNext.setMinutes(oNext.getMinutes()+ 10); var oneHour = 60 * 60 * 1000; var sNext = util.printd("h:MM tt", oNext); event.value = sNext; } else { //if (strStart = "");{ event.value = "0"; } //event.value = this.getField("Break2O").value;
any help is greatly appreciated. I have other custom calculation stuff to do with the same project (map of computing time) if anyone can help me out.
This line is incorrect:
If (this.getField("Break1O").value) = ""}
It should be:
If (this.getField("Break1O").value == "") {}

Is docking station compatible with computer model C6470 VB041AA #ABA?
Is docking station compatible with computer model C6470 VB041AA #ABA?
Hi Bryan,.
You're right, the computer is a Probook 6470 B. I also noticed in your chart that the docking station power is estimated at 90 watts. How I plugged the power lists 65Watts on etiquette, which may explain why it does not work very well. I think I must have caught an old powersupply in my bag for laptop computer to my upgrade of the previous work computers. Another food I have is rated at 90 watts; I'll give this one a try.
Thank you

Keyboard: Keyboard Acer not supplied with computer Emachine model no ET1862-AT899.
Device: Not supplied with computer Emachine Acer keyboard model no ET1862-AT899. When I hit SHIFT + AMPERSAND quotes will appear. When I hit SHIFT + COMMA INTERTED thenampersand appears. It is the ampersand and quotation marks are justaposed while only the tiny (2 and apostrophe) are not. The keyboard is defective? If not, how to fix?
Hi Peter,.
Is this a new problem or was heppening since you have the keyboard? From what you describe, my first thought is that it's a faulty keyboard. You can check with the Acer support page, because they might have a solution to this problem.

Well, I just hope that someone who has met these two mistakes will find my dose. It might save a lot of pointless research on the net.
SYMPTOMS:
-When you try to open a Silverlight application in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), your browser displays only a white area. When you right click on the white area, you can click on the Silverlight properties.
-If you try to start "Computer management" by clicking on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage', you get the following error: 'access denied '.CAUSE:
The following errors are usually the result of a bad environment variable. In this case the "windir" environment variable does not work correctly. You can try running the management of the computer to start > run and entering:
%windir%\system32\mmc.exe/s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.mscNotice the between the characters of percentage windir environment variable. If you run the above code, you will probably get an error saying that MMC cannot open the file. Look closely at the path, it's back!
You will probably find any % somewhere.What actually happened here is the variable windir made reference to another variable: systemroot
Why this creates problems, I'm not sure. Also, I don't understand what made then variable windir change.SOLUTION:
-From your desktop or Explorer: right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".
-Click on the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables".http://pcauthorities.com/images/advanced-system-properties-XP.jpg
-Did the windir variable. Together to "C:\Windows" do not think that it is already set to "C:\Windows", because windows then tells you. Double-click it to know for sure.

-See, I told you! Change this to "C:\Windows".

Hi Jooch,Thanks for posting such a detailed response, including symptoms, Cause, and resolution to "White Screen Of Death" with Silverlight and "Access denied" error with computer management"issues.I appreciate your time and effort to do the same. This could help other users of the forum as well. -
