Why does my computer need a password to login? Was not necessary before.
My monitor would not come after hitting the space bar. The PC was in mode 'sleep', so when I move the mouse or press a key on the monitor and the PC will wake. But not this time. I restarted my PC and a new (different, never seen before) opening page appeared. To the left was instruction click on my user name. To the right was a Director HP_. I clicked on that and open a password window. I've never set up a password, then I just hit enter. I was invited for a password again. Message 'Forgot your password?', retype your password. I typed in admin, but that has not worked. I tried several passwords that I use for web access and the forums, etc. but I have not received the case at all. Several reboots, always the same new opening page and request a password. Before that, my PC would just open in my office, now I have this new blue sheet that need a password.

Curiously, an error just for me that was not there until tonight (I have nothing new installed on my firefox). When I try to highlight text on any page why it automatically scrolls to the top? Very frustrating problem, no matter whether on gmail on an email, facebook or a web page regular when I try to select my browser text is now scroll upward on its own literally as soon as I'm going to highlight, that means I end up selecting everything on the page when it scrolls upward. Can anyone shed some light on how I can solve this problem suddenly?
Thank you

I was playing the trial version of the haunted mansion, Queen of death. When the trial was over I decided to buy the game with my promo code, I did.

Why does my computer loudly play ads while we sleep?
I keep my computer at night with my Inbox down to the toolbar and MSN down on the toolbar. Almost every night a few utilities STRONG lights and awakens us. I have to turn my speakers down every night! Sometimes during the day, but at night it's really bad. There is no image, only my screensaver on the screen.
Great answer Gerry,... nice solution ;-)
You have downloaded and installed a plugin for MSN by mistake at some point. As well as your antivirus running, run a program malware and spyware, deleting anything whatsoever that you have not installed.
I do not use MSN, but if there is plugin options to this disable those you don't know that you do not use. Eventually get rid of them.
See you soon,.

the noise is like a high-pitched moan
Hello Boomer09,
Thank you for your message. This sounds like something is stuck in your CD/DVD. Most of the models have a small hole at the front. You can usually use a paperclip (or something of this size) to push through the hole and the drawer opens manually. If it is stuck, you can open the drawer and eliminate the problem. Otherwise, it could be a hardware failure and you will need to replace it. You always have the possibility to open your computer and remove the power cables to your drive. This will stop the sound, but you will not be able to use the drive.Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.See you soonEngineer Jason Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

I'm still able to upload files to S3, but I have to click the OK button on this alert boring for each downloaded file. I guess you need to (once again) changed something on your API. The last time that you did, he completely broke S3Fox, but I was able to provide the developer with details of API needed to update its tool (for version 0.7).
If you provide the technical details for this problem too, I'd be happy to communicate them to the developer.
There is a version 0.8 of this extension - you can check if you get the error even with that one?

Why does my audio play in the source monitor, but not in the timeline?
I imported some MOV files in first 2015 (codec H.264, PCM Linear, timecode). The audio plays fine in the source window, but when I drag the clip to the timeline, no audio file appears under it and there is no sound. I followed the instructions on this link, nothing helps: no sound during playback in Adobe Premiere Pro.
These clips were filmed on a GH4. I was shooting 1080 24 fps. Before this problem I was shooting on a Canon 5 d. Is it possible that it is the codec?
Video playback in the timeline panel is also trolling and jittering a bit, but normally play in the source monitor.
If anyone can help, please excessively it because I am not very fluent in the first. Thank you.
