Windows smart warning screen to flash Bios application

Hello

I have Acer Aspire V5 - 573G and download the BIOS update from the acer site.

Operating system is windows 8.1.

But when I try to run upgrade from the windows application bios displays this warning.

Windows SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized application to start. Running this application might put your PC at risk
Publisher: Unkonwn Editor
App:ZRQ_224.exe

Should I ignore the warning and trust this application?

Thank you

  • Windows 7 full screen games and desktop applications losing focus and stealing discussion questions

    NOTE: The updates at the top of this announcement, the original message is less than.

    UPDATES: here are a few updates and new information that I have gained since the original publication.

    Registry settings

    After doing a lot of reading, I found some registry settings that appear to solve some of the problems I see. All three were found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> Panel-> Desktop

    ForegroundLockTimeout: Has been reset for some reason any. I removed the key and restarted, but he is back to zero. This is why I looked at the default value of 200000 (decimal) and set it. After that, he stayed. \

    I saw two other keys HungAppTimeout, WaitToKillServiceTimeout, and WaitToKillAppTimeout and all have been set to zero. I deleted these registered.

    I have no idea what set these registry keys to zero, but after being put into default, I can now click on an application full screen reduced, and he returned immediately. I can still lose focus in full screen or desktop app, but not as often as before and now he is usually just badly behaved apps stealing focus rather than seemingly random events.

    I wonder if there is a patch that has changed these values, or a settings option that does. From what I read, they are sometimes twisted to allow faster restart and stop servers.  I don't have a software that would be while and manually set their and none have the people I know. One of them has confirmed that their box also has these set values zero and has no idea why.

    I hope this information is useful to other people with odd focus problems.

    ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS *.

    I have a problem in Windows 7, which at first I thought a number of different problems, but I am more convinced that they are all connected.

    All of them started to happen around the same time - late January or February after a Windows Update - and largely the same or very similar issues affect 3 of my friends and co-workers running Vista and 7. Unfortunately my notes on the update happened while the time are missing, but all 4 of us have seen questions start at the beginning of the year in the January/February calendar, which makes it seem like they should be linked.

    NOTE: There were a few minor problems before even with the update, but nothing like what happened in early 2011. I had problems to update with Vista and 7 alone, but they were rare and sometimes fixable with registry hacks or it was an offending program, something did not like Aero, etc..  The questions below got a lot worse in early 2011 so they appear together in this post.

    I will describe each problem separately and the affected BONE and the symptoms, and I hope that some can make sense and help me solve the problem. Major problems first, then a few small problems and measures that I took to the to check follow after. Sorry for the long post, but it's a maddening problem affecting many people, and I want to be as complete as possible.

    Games not switching and the apps full screen #1: if I'm in a game fullscreen and I go to the office, it is very difficult to go back. If I click on the taskbar icon, nothing happens. I have to click on it repeatedly, often a dozen times or more before the application full screen or game is restored. It is most often with the games. Full screen I don't want not maximized, I mean where a program takes the entire screen. Games is easier to reproduce so far have all I currently use the question and variances in how it is difficult to come back in full screen are not significant between them.

    Apps full screen #2 focus lost: this happens especially to my friend running Vista, when you play the game full screen. She will play something like the Lord of the Rings Online and she loses the keyboard focus and the mouse, but the game is always full screen. Usually the only way that she can solve the problem is to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the Task Manager, which for some reason solves the problem and she can return to the game for a little while that. I run Windows 7 with another couple of friends and we can also see this question, it is much less common. Changing an old mouse seems correct for Vista for some reason any. 7 that it happens rarely, if hard to duplicate to see if changing the mouse would help. In any case, will and against a beautiful new mouse laser mouse is usually a horrible option.

    Office applications #3 lose focus: it affects two of us under Vista and 7. We will be typing in chat, email, anything... and the foreground app will lose focus. What catches there that is impossible to determine. In my case, I can occasionally see a taskbar popup button and then disappear immediately, but I have never been able to track it down. Running in safe mode or boot seems to have no effect on this, or disable all services, extension and program but by default Microsoft in Windows 7 and Vista. Its almost like a Microsoft program is to do. Also, even though I mentioned the taskbar icon appears briefly from time to time, which cannot be bound: it does not always coincide with the loss of focus and is not always present when the focus is lost.

    #4 desktop applications lose keyboard focus and the mouse: it's like the number #2 above, but happens at the level of the office. Unlike the #3 that the window does not lose focus, it is always in the foreground, but keyboard and mouse stop working. It is usually impossible to move to another window. Just like #2, the solution that we have so far is to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to switch to the Task Manager, which temporarily solves the problem. ALT-tab through windows does not work.

    Here are other minor problems that may or may be linked, because they seemed too much to start with.

    Switching away applications full screen takes more time: Windows 7 on my machine, switching off games full screen takes more time than he did in the past. It was a minor issue in autumn 2010 and became much worse early 2011.

    Some windows lost focus while being re-size: if I take the corner of some windows for re - size, sometimes the re-size operation stops until I release the mouse button, as if he has lost the focus. Color of the window indicates usually focus however is still there, and grabbing the corner once again we will move me a little more. It may take several tries to get the window size as I want, as the re-size operation closes several times before I release the mouse button. This affects only 2 of the 4 people I talk so much that I can tell from our conversations and shared between Vista and 7. Both of us have Logitech mouse it might even be a driver problem, but using a mouse cheap test has not fixed the problem with me.

    Firefox: Firefox repeatedly will "dim", where Aero makes the window lose color to indicate that the application is not responding. It didn't happen before January 2011 for any version of Firefox.

    Concrete results to track down the problem:

    I ran programs like WhatHang and others who are trying to catch the programs that are suspended, stealing focus, etc.. Hours of testing found no results except that Firefox crashes frequently. Disable Firefox doesn't solve all the issues however, so I guess that its not related.

    I tried booting safe and clean, and they have had no effect. Secure boot is rather useless since I can not usually run programs that show the problem more easily. I also tried turning off everything except what comes with Windows 7, and it had no significant effect.

    I tried to use a different mouse. While it helped a bit with one of my friends, it only helped me so far. Different mouse drivers do not seem to help either. I also tried various nVidia without significant information acquired or corrective drivers.

    I also ran through various other ideas here as the race of the file system scanner and so on and not found any problems with my system, and where I could help my friends do and they also found nothing of note with maintenance and verification tools.

    My friends and co-workers: most of them are not local to me, so my focus of their issue has been rather limited. The main thing that we all have in common is that we had some minor problems in the past, as in 2010, and they've all got a lot worse in early 2011. Unfortunately none of us kept of records accurate enough to indicate any special updates that might have caused it.

    In any case, I apologize for the log message, but this issue emphasis is maddening. Its become a frustration serious then I thought to post information on the problems which seem related would be the more useful approach.

    I am a graduate of comp-sci systems and a companion systems programmer, and I have tried everything I can think of to debug and isolate problems, symptoms, etc. and had no chance. My friends are usually illiterate computer so that they are even more perplexed and frustrated by this problem. In my reading the forums, I see a lot of Windows Vista and 7 discussion questions, but rarely a lot of details, and when a problem is identified, it this far does not apply to me or my friends.

    I am happy to provide any other details I can.

    Updates:

    I forgot to mention that I have a Setup dual monitor. Aero seems unhappy with it, a lot of flicker when switching to full screen in games and other applications. I guess its because a single display off Aero while the other has it we or maybe not accelerated. Remove the second screen does not solve the problems I see, but I mention it in the interest of further development.

    I want to just chime in that I see similar (but not exactly the same) behavior and time seems to match as well. Among the updates must have messed something up. I forgot my Cardinal never update rule anything :/

    In any case, I have a few specific questions all problems related to full screen/window/input. When you play the Witcher, when you look at, if the mouse touches the edge of the screen, it stops, thus giving a very narrow range of angles I can watch from. Baldurs gate, as soon as I hit any key, I can't click on anything whether (and what I typed does not appear). Looking for police 3 (dosbox) it works fine until I hit a key, and then the mouse bounces oddly around the screen. If I alt - tab, in these 2 cases to last and go back, the problem is solved until I have a button again. In the case of the Witcher, if I alt tab and click the icon to the taskbar, it seems this problem, until I have a press.

    And I'm sure I had none of these problems a few months ago. I have tried everything I can think :( I tried the registry settings, but they do not seem to help.

    Edit: Oh, almost forgot. Whenever I click on full screen on an online video, like youtube, it appears in the background behind other windows, and then I have to click on it in the background to bring it forward. Very weird. Not sure if it's related. I'll try to change my video drivers... So boring when everything was working fine a few months ago.

    Edit 2: Do not take into account my post, I had a program called synergy race (usually use a mouse on multiple computers at the same time). Apparently, he was the problem.

  • A flash window disappears off-screen

    HI -.


    I have a problem. (Don't we all?) When I open the Flash CS3 to create something, if the Flash window is not maximized, he disappears on the right side of the screen. If I maximize the window using the taskbar, that is fine, but it covers other resources, I need to use. I use Vista Business and Flash CS3 with two screens, one lying on the right.


    Here's what I tried, so you don't have to repeat these solutions. ;-)

    1. With the right button on the taskbar, the Flash button and select move. What happened:
      • When I use the arrow keys, nothing seems to happen.
      • When I move the mouse, the arrow pointer comes from the far right of the screen.
      • When I press the mouse button and drag, a four-headed arrow appears to the right, but the Flash window does not appear.
    2. Restart. What happened:
      Flash is always off-screen except if enlarged.
    3. Search through Adobe forums. What happened:
      I can't find anything useful on this situation.
    4. Use Google to search the Web for solutions. What happened:
      I found a hack in registry I tried (agenda), but it did not work.
    5. Use Regedit to change the settings (after the release of Flash) : HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Flash 9 > settings > window
      The current value is 12639 960 13919 1872. I guess these are X and Y for the top, right of the position and length and pixel width, but I do not know in what order.  I tried a few values, including 0 0 0 0 and 100 100 100 100. I tried to restart, check that the values of the window were the same ones I had and ran Flash. What happened:
      Flash is always off-screen except if enlarged. Registry values return in large numbers.
    6. Repair or uninstall + reinstall Flash
      • With the help of Control Panel > programs > uninstall a program. What happened:
        Although several Adobe products, Flash CS3 is not listed, or there at - it of the other suite CS3.Uninstall.jpg

      • With the help of Start > all programs > Adobe > uninstall. The Group of Adobe is not a Unistall or install program, not find an in C:\Program Files\Adobe\ *


    What I use:

    • Dell Precision M90 with 4 GB of RAM
    • NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 M, ForceWare version 156,69 with 256 MB of VRAM + 1406 MB shared RAM available for the moment

  • Vista Business with auto-mises updated
  • At home, I use a 1280 x 1024 auxiliary screen; at work, I use an auximiary monitor 1680 x 1050; the problem occurred when I moved from home to work.

  • Very thanks for all help!-Larry 8-) >

    We had problems similar and discovered that the window for Flash CS3 settings are read from an XML file named "workspacelayout.xml" found in the following path on a Windows XP workstation:

    C:\Documents andWINDOWS_USER_NAMESettings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\LANGUAGE_CODE\Configuration Settings\

    (Note that WINDOWS_USER_NAME must be replaced by the user name with boredom and LANGUAGE_CODE be replaced by an appropriate language code.) "'en' is the language code for English.)

    In this file, there is a similar tag to:

    Simply set the attribute 'rect' to something that is easy to find the rectangle (preferably on monitor 1 if multiple screens are activated).

    For example:

    ... causes the flash application window open with the upper-left corner at (0,0) and the lower-right corner to (100 100) on display 1. Note that Flash should not be executed when this change.

    The zipper, he also writes that it is last coordinates of window in the registry under:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ADOBE\Flash 9\Settings]
    'Window' = "0 0 100 100" ".

    However, our tests show that it does not use the registry values at startup (if the workspacelayout.xml file is located).

    We did discover that the deletion of the 9 set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ADOBE\Flash registry key reset indeed available to windows, among many other settings.

  • Black screen after flashing to latest BIOS

    Nothing but black screen after flashing the latest bios (fan, leds work)...

    I can do, or that of new bios/motherboard can help? (I tried to rest the battery, press F8...) Thanks in advance

    I presume that the BIOS is doomed. What you need is a professional help with this then contact the nearest service provider and ask for help.

    By the way: check this forum using the advanced search option. In the past, I have seen several interesting discussions on BIOS recovery. I m quite skeptical on this subject but maybe you will be lucky and find the solution.

  • Windows will start, the screen starts flashing and then the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL all other functions will not work.

    Start my computer, it will default to the CTRL ALT DEL screen.  After graduating in the login screen I enter the password.  Windows will start and then the screen starts flashing and the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL I can boot into safe mode.  All other functions will not work.

    Thank you

    I guess you wanted to ask how to solve the problem. If then all in Safe Mode you can use system restore to set up Windows to a point when the problem did not exist.

    Yesterday, I was using my computer and it locked up, so I turned off the power and the reboot. When I did this went to a system startup repair screen and said that no problem was detected on windows startup. However, I always get a black with a cursor screen when I try to start my computer. It does this in regular mode, course, debugging, any mode that concerns windows makes the screen just go black after the windows loading screen.

    I found many people having problems with black screen, but none seems to be identical to mine, since most people can always use safe mode.

  • Is the phone number and alarm warning screen I saw a scam?

    Just got a very a screen red background on my computer and a strong voice message, saying that the malware was attempting to invade my computer. He pretended to be Mozilla Firefox and told me to call 844-338-4651 for an easy solution to this problem. There were several windows with red filtered in back and directions in the smaller screens. I didn't have the right to close the small windows filtered to join the largest window without actually closing the red window, which closed all the.

    Just one telephone number had one please press one message without context, so I hung up. I then customer of google mozilla supported number, consisting of 844 844-2429 and got an Exchange responded by a person with a very strong South Asian accent. He has not identified himself as working for Mozilla until I asked if it was Mozilla (stupid me). I explained the problem and said that I had to find a way to confirm the number preceding or report it as a scam. As soon as I said scam said I must do and hung up.

    The warning screen told me I had to get this fixed malware invasion before I went shopping on the internet. I'm pretty freaked out right now, but I'm 80% sure it was a scam. Can you confirm?

    Thank you
    Anne

    Hi, yes you are right to be wary, Mozilla will never ask you to call them. If you did, they may well have asked you to enter an address into your browser which would enable them to take control of your computer and access your data.

    - Avoid and report Mozilla tech support scams.

    It looks like one or more of the boot loader files has been corrupted.

    You need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.

    You will need to create something called a CD-ROM of repair of Win7. This will repair the boot loader files, and if that is the problem, your PC will start OK after that.  Yes, it's for Win7, but Vista uses the same bootstrapper, so you can use Win7 to repair the Vista bootloader files.

    The file you need can be obtained (with supplement) from this link: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

    When you download this file, it will be an ISO file.

    To make a CD bootable it, you will need to download and install ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/

    Once you have installed, run, select the option "Save image to disk file" and select the downloaded ISO file and that it points to a blank CD.

    To make a USB bootable of it, you will need to download and install RUFUS: https://rufus.akeo.ie/

    Once you have that, it is executed in the input of the unit, use the drop down menu to select the USB stick.  Near the bottom right, where is written 'Create a bootdisk to aid', select the ISO file downloaded.
    -------------------------------------

    Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html

    You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.

    Once completed, your PC should start OK.

    If it isn't, then some files of the operating system has also been corrupted and the only way to fix it would be to perform a system recovery - which if F11 does not work, but a recovery from the PC to its original using recovery media state.

    Problem there is that HP no longer wears a recovery media for the Vista PC, so you should check to see if these sites still have it: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck

  • Y at - it an option to allow windows to cross screens?

    I recently upgraded from 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.11.3 (El Capitan).

    I usually connect my mobile MBPro widescreen when it is at home, so I use two screens at the same time.

    In the preferences system-> view-> Layout tab, check of "copy video" works the same in the snow and El Cap.  However, United Nationsby checking this box leads it to very different results between the two operating systems.

    In the snow, you could put a window across two screens.  This is especially important if you have a long list in one window, or you want to take a large screenshot.  Moving the window around, it flowed gently through the border and you could stop it at any time.

    In El Cap, you get two bars of menus, which is nice and they can refer to separate applications, which is a little confusing at first, but windows are limited to one screen or another.  If you stop to move a window, although it is athwart the screen/screen limit, the part of the window on the 'other' screen simply disappears.  In addition, some applications may enter their windows in such a State that disappears from the title bar.   When this happens, you cannot move the window at all.  The only remedy I found this situation is to check that the "copy video" box again so that you can move the window a bit.

    Is it possible that Apple gave us an option to return to the old way, so that the two screens are back to perceptually fused into a single screen with a strange shape?  I looked at system-> screen preferences and the preferences of the Finder.  There may be somewhere else?
