• What is Akamai NetSession customer (users\**\appdata\local\akamai\netsession_win.exe and it's OK to grant access to the network?)

  My mobile provider sent a notice to update my BIOS software, I did.  During automatic reboot, I got a security alert Windows, informing them that Windows Firewall has blocked some features of Akamai NetSession Client on public and provate networks... Allow client to communicate over public and private networks Akamai NetSessin?

  Akamai don't come right out and say, but the reason that netsession is installed on your computer is to allow them to use your computer to 'upstream' content to other users.  By installing NetSession, you allow Akamai use your idle bandwidth to transfer files to other users of Akamai.

  Some of the statements of Detangling: http://www.akamai.com/html/solutions/client_design_principles.html

  "The information that Akamai capture are similar to a web server, and that the information is only used for troubleshooting and monitoring of network performance."  This means that NetSession sends continuously information on your computer to Akamai.

  They say that NetSession will use your computer when it is "inactive or use minimum network resources.".  This means that NetSession is constantly monitor your use of the network and transmit this information to Akamai.  And as bandwidth varies from second to second, this info should be sent upwards to Akamai a lot.  Wait a minute, didn't they say just they captured only the kind of info that capture web servers?  Web servers capture information about the use of bandwidth.  What other information Akamai capture?  I couldn't find details on their site.

  So if you install NetSession, you be to join a peer-to-peer network and allowing Akamai send files from your computer at the time as Akamai may use you your minimum bandwidth.

  I also have a problem of security on the files I get the NetSession.  It seems that it is not difficult to download a file using NetSession, change it to carry a load of viruses and then leave the computer idle and wait NetSession transmit the file infected others NetSession.  I hope that Akamai has taken measures to address this problem, but I can't find any information on it.

• When I started my computer this morning, it ran chkdsk at startup, windows startup it goes immediately to chkdsk, it will be repeated again and again. I can boot into safe mode, but if I try to start windows normally it runs chkdsk and does not start

  Windows does not start normally, just run chkdsk again and again

  First test the hard drive to make sure it's healthy. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

  Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  If the hard drive then passes the physical tests, safe mode:
  Start > run > cmd [Enter]
  fsutil dirty query c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  This will tell you if the disc is dirty or not. Then always in cmd:

  chkntfs /x c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  This tells Windows not not to check this drive at startup. Reboot and it should go on the desktop. Once Windows loaded, run cmd and:

  Chkdsk /f /r c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  CHKDSK will run through all 5 steps. After that it's over, always in cmd:

  fsutil dirty query c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  to see that the dirty bit is not set on this drive.

• Problems with Akamai Netsession

  Hello

  I had the most problems with Akamai Netsession to download the CS6, I bought.

  We are currently located in Ethiopia where we get a decent speed of 3 G Internet.

  I bought CS6 last December, downloaded and installed on my Macbook. Now, we have an another Macbook and I want to install CS6 on it too (I still have a license available) but I'm having all possible problems to download.

  I started the download with Akamai, but he would never keep track of download and always restart at zero. When I downloaded CS6 for my first Macbook, Akamai would be followed the progress of the download and start again from the last point whenever I restarted the download. This time, it just keeps going back to zero. So whenever Internet deconnects (which is common with the Internet connection, we have) or if we closed the window for a moment, I lose all my progress of download. I tried on Google Chrome and Safari.

  Since we buy Internet data at the minute, it cost approximately US $100 so far to try to install it and still have nothing.

  I tried the alternive download method but it doesn't work either. Have downloaded 3 GB of data until it happened: delay too long - download canceled...

  Since I always download completed on the Google Chrome on my computer, I tried to just copy fill for the second Macbook installation and install it there. But it won't work, saying that it looks like a pirated copy and that it cannot install it.

  I'm desperate. We have NEED CS6 on two Macbook. So if anyone has a solution for us, I know deeply.

  Failure audit download or installation. CS6

  And try Firefox...

  Brad

  What to say Brad. It seems the full Windows XP operating system has crashed!
  Believe me, something like what is happening simply and I think that it s nothing unusual to anyone who use and works with Windows OS for a long time.

  You should definitely try to reinstall the OS from the Toshiba restore CD.
  But this procedure will format your HARD drive and you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive.

  But this is only one possibility to get Windows running on this laptop.

  Check it out buddy!

• After a power cut my PC is in a loop in the start windows normally, safe mode, last known good configuration screen

  After a power failure when I start my PC, it gets to the screen... "We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully... When I try to reboot in one of the 5 modes to start normally, safe mode, safe mode with command prompt SafeMode with network, last known Noah correct configuration of their work and the loops of the computer to this sreen repeatedly.

  KB307545 is a very bad idea to begin with - especially after a power failure (and it's usually just a very bad idea).  You don't describe symptoms suggestive of a need to run the KB307545, but, I'm not a Microsoft Support engineer so don't hesitate if you are forced to do, and I wish you good luck.

  What you need to do, is start in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk/r first.  Is is possible that the blackout damaged your NTFS file system and a chkdsk/r is to clean it.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

  The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

  If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt

  Enable Boot logging
  Enable VGA mode
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
  Debug mode
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  Start Windows normally
  Reset
  Return to OS Choices Menu

  You need to choose in this menu is the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
  
  Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

  If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

  You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

  If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

  Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

  See what the BSOD said would be interesting, but I would still recommend that you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console to make sure your file system is not damaged.

  Answer the questions and we can see what to do next.

• Cannot start windows in safe mode, the work of restoration but still cannot start unless in safe mode

  After a microsoft update beginning 04/04/11 awoke to noisy computer which was start and restart in safe mode.  Pbly. most of the night it was start and restart.  System Restore tried to 3 or 4 different dates, said has been restored, but this does not solve the problem.  Have you tried troubleshooting, nothing helps.  Worked on it for several days without any positive result.  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Hi Grandma fla,.

  1. you remember what update was installed before that the problem occurred?

  2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

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

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP 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.
