• How to check Microsoft's unsolicited calls are genuine

  I received a phone call unsolicited, claiming to be from Microsoft.  The person led me through a process to show that there are errors on my computer.  She asked me to open a free software - ammyy = to enable it to take and to fix things. She gave me a number 0870 8753141 who do not get an answer. She called back twice.  Should I trust it?

  All unsolicited calls security and support phone Microsoft are fake.

  It is a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  (such persons may use names other than Microsoft as well)

  If you gave them access to your remote PC or any software installed, then you should consider the security of your PC to be seriously compromised. Passwords, coordinated banking, etc. can be in the pssession. Consider making a clean Windows and tell your bank, installation etc., depending on the case. Change passwords by using a separate PC until yours is clean.

• Unsolicited call matrix Global Solutions to solve computer problems

  Original title: MATRIX GLOBAL SOLUTIONS

  We were contacted by a company called Global Solutions matrix yesterday and said that our computer was in danger because of so many error reports comes to them. They have assured me that they were associated with Microsoft could fix the problem free of charge. I told them I had Mcafee protection, but they insisted on the fact that should does not solve the problem because the H key has not been installed on my computer.  After you resolve the problem, they charged me for service, and now my computer is protected for the life of the machine. It is the legal transaction or have I just pirate?

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Microsoft and its affiliated companies do contact you, unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  Please read this Section:

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  See you soon.

• iPad, Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance.

  My iPad Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance.  I called and gave the last four digits of my serial number of the iPad.  They wanted me to download app and pay money, but it felt weird, so I hung up. Am I or my systems compromised in any way by calling and giving the serial number or hang up in time that nothing should be affected?

  Do this...

  Tap Settings > Safari and then slide down and tap clear history & data website, then reboot your iPad.

  The number they gave you is not Apple.

  Never give any personal data abroad on the net, including serial numbers.

• windows Vista supports WDDM 1.1?

  windows vista WDDM V1.1 is capable?

  I have directX 11 on a full directx 11 ATI card

  I've heard some rumors that vista supports windows 7 driver model 1.1

  Here is an overview on versions of driver by Rohit Chettri

  Quote from andre Ziegler (2010):

  A graphics chip must support DirectX 10 for WDDM 1.1 drivers. Some improvements are graphical GDI with partial hardware acceleration and that the video RAM is not copied into main RAM.

  MS explained a bit in their blog:

  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/E7/archive/2009/04/25/engineering-Windows-7-for-graphics-performance.aspx

  You get WDDM1.1 in Vista, with the platform Windows Vista Update but GDI / GDI + is always made software.

• VMware Vista support physical disk device does not not for some VM.

  I handle Win2k8 64 bit vm on esx5.5 Update 2 which are evidence of "Disk of Vista VMware help" have the error "this device is not present, is not working properly or is not all its drivers installed." (Code 24) ». Versions of VMware Tools vary, either 9.4.0 9.4.5 build-1585188, build-1598834 or 9.4.10 build-2068191.

  Google missed most of the time. I can't find any information on what concrete this virtual device is or what it does in particular, except that it may be involved in the creation of snapshots suspended.

  In addition, the device seems to be attached to the vmrawdsk service, which does not exist on the server. These virtual machines were not P2V, they have been created since iso win.

  One guess what it is and how I might be able to fix it?

  I got it on a working server my copy on the file vmrawdsk.sys missing a server well-known, uninstall VMware Tools, restart, reinstall it and restart again. Then the VMware Vista support physical disk device / service vmrawdisk are working normally.

• I got Windows 7 activated, but I did a restore it cancelled. Can what number I call for technical support?

  I called a number of technical support for Microsoft and they transferred me to a specialist for the Activation Center, and she got my active product.  A few days later, I noticed something that I had downloaded had a few additional programs with it.  From my experience, until it became a problem, I tend to put the computer in a day or two to back it up on the problem.  When I did it this time, I was sure that the restoration would not affect the activation, but he did.  Now I have seven days left... can someone please give me a number to get my reactive product?

  While on Chrome, my screen/mouse were frozen (blue and white screen) and I was directed to call tech support 855-243-2620 MacOS. With very little explanation, the operator turned technician who wanted remote access to my Mac Air.  any similar experience or advice, please? The screen of my Mac Defender said messages did not and I should not restart or restart (registry damage would result).   Thank you.

  It was a SCAM!  If you do NOT allow access to your MBA, your MBA is fine.  If you did, you will need to either erase the MBA and reinstall all your data or do restore a time Machine before she date the intrusion.  You must also change the passwords and if your online bank, call the financial institution.
