    Hello

    I understand you very well. For me it s a shock if 90 IE Windows would appear on my small laptop screen. SHOUT OUT! : O

    However, have you installed any 3rd party applications that can open the windows?

    I think that this is not a normal state of the system and if it appears the days of view therefore, you should try roll back BONE to the beginning.

    In addition, you can try to check in the MSCONFIG what background process runs on the operating system. If there are some very strange processes you must turn it off and you must remove the Autorun.

  • Satellite P300-133 - how to use the internet connection via BlueTooth

    Hello

    I finally solve my problem with the synchronization via bluetooth between my P300-133 and my [HTC | http://www.htc.com/europe/product.aspx?id=15674] with Windows Mobile 5 - with step by step instructions of Toshiba.

    But I don't know how to use the Internet via BT, I tried many ways, one of them was to create a PAN with P300 as server - correctly connected HTC to P300, but it seams I can share internet with P300 as a gateway. And I want to do the opposite - get internet from my mobile to the computer (while she is away from all the cables). I'm not sure this PAN in the right way...

    The question of the other and less important is to be able to share that connection with your laptop via bluetooth - I guess that this must be done through Pan

  • TextEdit using the Internet?

    TextEdit uses the Internet for some reason when I create a new document or change an old?  The reason why I ask because I had begun to suspect that its employees were somehow reading my projects of TextEdit so I started typing short paragraphs that would be sure to get the attention of some people at random, I work with.  Of course, my small trials were to return to them and I was getting hostile reactions regarding the specific things that I typed on.  It's things I've done on my home Mac that isn't somehow used to work.  I have the firewall turned and took machine for checking for keyloggers strikes or other malware.  All came back negative.  File sharing is disabled.  Anyone have any ideas what could happen?

    Make sure that you do not use the Notes application?  It looks like TextEdit on the surface.  And it does not work with your shared iCloud account.  If you type something in the Notes, and you let your iCloud account connected to work, they may be able to see what you type and saved on your Notes software.

    One thing I would be careful, use a password more sure iCloud you currently have and disconnect from your iCloud account when you leave work.

    Do not leave your password with a view to the work.   Find a place to keep the lock and key physically.    And do not use a password is a word in any language (delete all vowels) and mix numbers and letters, and symbols.

    TextEdit has no networking capability, unless you share files, or turn on screen sharing on your Mac and let you remotely in work to your Mac.

    Not enough information.  You have provided no context.  You don't say what version of Windows you are using and you don't really describe the situation in many details.  Reading between the lines, it looks like you have a child who has time on the Internet you want to limit.  You do not tell us what tools you use to control this limit online, so it is difficult to recommend the right forum for your post.  Please update your message with a more detailed description of what is happening and what you want to do.

  • How could I give priority to my network connections, (without turning off the strap attached, as it took), so that it uses the internet from my main network connection?

    Prioritize network connections

    OK, here's the situation.
    I have a regular ethernet connection that provides me with a network and the internet.
    I have also a tablet PC which I attach to my PC so I can use it as a controller. (Not that it is important, but it's for a DAW/Midi controller)

    My problem is that whenever I place my tablet, PC starts by ignoring my normal connection and taking the internet from my Tablet (even when it is not connected to the internet). As a result, my internet is de-energized once I tie it, if I'm not as under the wifi on my tablet.

    My question is, how could I give priority to my network connections, (without turning off the strap attached, as it took), so that it uses the internet from my main network connection?

    3 have there been any changes made on the computer before the show?

    Even if you have used a virus protection software, try to run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any malware or spyware infection and check if it helps.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • I6 fire babysit device when using the internet? any solution?

    I6 fire babysit device when using the internet? any solution?

    Let's define "overheating". If the temperature of the phone reached a dangerous level the phone turns off it to cool down. This phenomenon occur? If this is not the case it is not overheated.

    What is your cell signal? If the signal is low, the phone must increase its power to maintain a connection. This may require as much as 10 times the energy as a strong signal, and the phone gets hot under these conditions. If will also drain the battery very quickly.

    you do not take the lock itself.
