What is the cause of the sound after the restart of a computer and pressing SHIFT with any key.

Whenever I restart my computer, I hear a noise. This happens when I press the SHIFT key with any key. the sound is heard only once. I've not heard this noise before. I use Vista SP2 in HP

Hi shield - I.

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. what kind of sound you hear when you restart the computer?

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.

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.

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

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.

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they

  • What is the difference between. MHT and. HTM?

    Original title: is anyone know about MHT files?

    What is the difference between. MHT and. HTM?

    Hi Sheryl,

    Welcome to the Windows 7 community!

    I understand that you would like to know the difference between file MHT and HTM file. I'm happy to help you.

    MHTML, short for MIME HTML, is a format to archive web page used to combine resources that are usually represented by external links (such as images, Flash animations, audio files, Java applets) as well as the HTML code in a single file. The content of an MHTML file is encoded as if it were an email message to HTML, using the MIME type multipart/related. The first part of the file is normally encoded HTML; subsequent parts are additional resources identified by their URL original and encoded in base64. This format is sometimes referred to as MHT, after the suffix .mht given to these files by default when created by Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer or Opera. MHTML is a proposed standard, distributed in an edition revised in 1999 as RFC 2557.

    HTML Web page that is used by Web browsers; contains the code markup that is stored in a plain text format; used to display and format the text and images in a Web browser.

    HTM files serve the same exact than purpose. HTML files. The extension ".htm" appeared with the use of the Web Microsoft, such as FrontPage, SharePoint Designer and Expression Web development software.

    HTM files are much less common than HTML files.

    It will be useful. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

  • What is the difference between Unicast RPF and Reverse Path Forwarding?

    I am confused between Unicast RPF and Reverse Path Forwarding function.

    What is the difference between Unicast RPF and Reverse Path Forwarding?

    Because they have all two please check the address of the source of each package before sending it to the destination too?

    Reverse Path Forwarding is used only when the network want to build a tree shared multicast communication and then we must use Unicast RPF after creation of the shared tree?

    The mechanism of the RPF is mainly used to ensure no loop of routing traffic.

    As you probably already read, it does by ensuring that his route to the source address of a packet received is accessible via the same interface that the packet is entered in the. Think of the notion of "root port" in STP. all root ports are similar to the root, sunflower follow the Sun. Therefore, it is naturally a loop prevention mechanism.

    With multicast traffic, it is quite likely to create multiple loops of routing the nature of 'destination' traffic. For this reason, using a mechanism as the RPF to ensure you are on the "road to the root" (to say) to the source originating multicast traffic. Otherwise if you're not then you either receive this traffic route in a loop, or a suboptimal path.

    uRPF works essentially the same way, except that it is done for unicast traffic instead. Now with unicast traffic your flow is from a source and directs to a single destination. Given that, as the fact that you are using a dynamic routing algorithm (which allows to select the path to a destination), you can have loops of your network for unicast traffic flow routing; of course there may be exceptions to pitfalls of configuration route redistribution.

    However RPF when it is applied to traffic unicast can add another advantage, and it's verification IP source. That's why we can use it as a security mechanism to ensure that data are from where it is supposed to come.

    On the limit of the L2, you then have mechanisms such as guard source IP to ensure that the correct host is not usurpation of their IP address.

    By analogy RPF can be used for checking at source for multicast traffic, and it is intrinsically that however, the most important role is so that it can be used to guarantee without loop routing of multicast traffic.

    I hope that helped clear things upwards and not confused you any more with all this.

    Widget is just an application interface to develop android home and have some readily available settings/info/etc.; If you do not need to type an application to access some of the data; but you can type the widget to run the application if necessary and if possible.

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
    to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
    run several) of the following three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
    install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (freeware).

  • What is the difference between Foglight JavaEE and Foglight JMX monitoring?

    Hello

    I have a plan to monitor the 6.1.0.17 WebSphere Application Server (32 bit) and 7.0.0.5 (64-bit)

    But I understand not all Foglight for JavaEE and Foglight for JMX.

    Foglight for JavaEE or Foglight for JMX is able to monitor WebSphere?

    What is the difference between Foglight JavaEE and Foglight JMX monitoring?

    Thanks in advance

    Jeans

    Just to add to the excellent answers already posted.

    We have 2 agents which allows you to monitor Java:

    1. a JavaEE agent that runs inside the JAVA virtual machine and the information of both JMX and instrumentation.

    This Agent will give you JMX information like information of JVM (use of the bunch, son etc.), of the Application and server availability information and other information of JMX/PMI (connections pools, pools of ejb, servlets, jsp, JCA and more).

    Java EE & # 039agent also gives you information of the instrumentation - RFA count and response time, exceptional output and timeout information, distribution of queries (App/DB, component technology, server, application failure), object tracking, transaction flow and stransactional between servers and data sources) and ask traces (the ability to see the trees of the RFA at the method level to know where things are slow/stuck).

    2 JMX agent is running outside the JVM but can run on the same computer or on a remote computer, this agent requires access active, JMX. This agent gives you information JVM, availability server/applications, as well as some data as the application server published using JMX (pools of connections, JCA, EJB, servlets, etc.). The JMX agent also gives you the ability to see a list of the mbeans, get the data they expose (javaEE agent gets only a predefined list (same list that is used as a template for the application servers in the JMX agent)).

    Hope this helps
