  • What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart?

    What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart - relating to the registration and identification of network?  Specifically when a computer isn't yet in one area but is still in a working group.  Y at - it show any PC by informing other computers it's name has changed?

    Computers into working groups are actively seeking each other, so if you rename a computer, it will not be shown anything. The restart is to erase the name of origin since the system cache, he will think that it's always the old name until the reboot takes place. Work computers is simply 'shake hands' with each other whenever they need to communicate.

    Computers that are part of a domain are created a 'computer' account that is assigned a random password that changes every 30 days by default automatically. These computer accounts work almost identical to an Active Directory user account, which means that they are not proactive they simply cached credentials with their permissions to provide if / when requested by heritage in the environment.
    Users and computers Active Directory accounts are stored in the NTDS. SAID the database, the backbone of an AD environment. When a computer name changes in one area, it takes the PC restarted simply for the PC. The change of name in Active Directory will replicate throughout the environment based on the settings of replication of this environment.
    I'm too simplify all this, but the general concept is there.
  • There is a program running in the background on my computer. It blocks my mouse and I can even hear a clatter, as when you connect a camera to your computer, or disconnect.

    I tried several times to get a solution to this problem.  There is a program running in the background on my computer.  It blocks my mouse and I can even hear a clatter, as when you connect a camera to your computer, or disconnect.  My computer has been analyzed by microsoft help and support was in my computer several times, and accomplished yet nothing worked.  Sometimes my mouse freezes every few seconds until it is maddening.

    It seems that you have tried a number of bugs so far without success. Here are some suggestions of what I'm going to try:

    You mentioned a background current program, if it helps:

    Don't forget to follow step 7: reset the computer to start as usual in the link above to return the computer to normal startup.

    I would also check the updates for your video card driver. Find the latest Windows Vista drivers for your specific computer model with the support site for your computer manufacturer. Be sure to get the right drivers for your specific version of Windows Vista, for example, 32-bit or 64-bit.

    If your mouse is a USB model, it can be useful to check the latest drivers for your motherboard (chipset) Vista to the support site for the manufacturer of the computer. Also, since you're here you can check for the other updated drivers for your system, i.e., audio, LAN (network), etc.

    Computer manufacturers

    If you have the graphics card Intel integrated, you can check on the website below:

    Update utility graphics card Driver Intel
     http://www.Intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics

    If you have a dedicated graphics card, you will need to check with the card manufacturer, the two most often used are linked below:

    If you have not done so, see the support site of the manufacturer of the mouse for the Vista updated drivers, known issues with your specific models or known solutions.

    An element that may cause unpredictable problems that are extremely difficult to identify are (live RAM) memory errors, Windows Vista has a built-in for system RAM check utility:

    To perform a more complete test is the use of Memtest86 but is more complex, includes the creation of a CD bootable for the test, it is not really something for difficult burn an .iso file downloaded to a blank disc (available in the free download link) and then boot from the CD.

    Original title: swaincardsolutions

    I worked with Dell to fix my computer, after I got out the phone I tried to make a backup as I was told. The backup is not complete and I got an error code, then Microsoft 24 x 7 came on my computer saying that a tech Microwsoft will fix this problem call their number, I did. They charged me $130.00 to fix the computer and a guarantee of life for 2 computers... I paid with my credit card online, they took on my computer. has released my Kaspersky anti virus out and some programs more... re installed Microsoft free security and free CCleaner. It got late and they said that they would call back the next day, they do not have and my computer won't even save so I can install windows 7 my disc sent Dell. I'm waiting on dell to recall support.  I already bought the protection of software on both computers and wouldn't you know, he went out in March... Now I tried to get my hands on this 24 x 7 and receiving nothing they fraud? Why Microsoft let them do that? What can I do now?

    Hello

    What happens when you tried to take a step back? You get the error message?

    Microsoft or our partners make unsolicited phone calls (also known as the telephone canvassing) you charge for security patches or software.

    What to do if you have already given information to a tech support person:

    If you think that you might have downloaded malware to a phone tech support website scam or authorized a cybercriminal to gain access to your computer, follow these steps:

    • Change password of your computer, change the password on your main email account and the password for all the accounts financiers, especially your credit cards and credit.

    • Scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner to find out if you have malicious software installed on your computer.
      Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

    • Install Microsoft Security Essentials.

    You can see this article for more information. I also suggest you to report this call of telephone fraud.

    Avoid scams to phone for tech support

  • JUnit test of an ADF application when you have nested application modules

    Hello

    When you set up a device for JUnit test in the model of the ADF, and you have nested application modules, there are advised to have a class of the device for each module of the application, or create a luminaire of class for the root application module and access somehow nested those there for view objects you want to test JUnit , or have a luminaire of class and somehow reference the individual nested application of this class modules? Everything I've read about JUnit test of an ADF application only shows an application module in the template project.

    Thank you.

    I have used with success that one category of luminaire for my application module root, and then in my test case files I can reference the application embedded this suff module.

    Example:

    The TestAMFixture.java file is where you describe the application module you want to use. This file and others, is what is generated when you let JDeveloper create your Business Component Test Suite (chosen from the New Gallery):

    The constructor of this file is where the application module is defined:

    public TestAMFixture() {}

    _testAm = Configuration.createRootApplicationModule (amDef, Config);

    }

    In my test for the projectVO scenario file, I'm testing a required attribute in a display object, so I need to access the view object that is in a nested application module:

    ViewObject _projectVO = fixture1.getApplicationModule () .findViewObject ("ProjectAM1.ProjectVO1");

    fixture1 is a reference to the TestAMFixture class. getApplicationModule() is a method in this class that returns the application root module I set in the TestAMFixture constructor. ProjectAM1 is the nested application module and ProjectVO1 is the view object where the attribute is that I will test.

    For a better explanation, please see these references, I used.
