  Hello, my question: The Department HX works in all applications of music (such as Spotify streaming and stored) or only in the official application of walkman? IM using Xperia Z5 Premium MM 6.0 with a helmet of RECRUITS. Thank you!

  By what I know, these settings do not work on external applications, especially Department HX, which still works poorly on stock music app!

• people keep calling from 'Windows Tech Dept' Indian accents telling that there is a problem with my computer at risk

  I've been deflecting calls from people who say there is a problem with my computer, claiming they are "Windows technology department.  A woman comes to call.  She said her name was Fiona and his identification number is 1104.  Call back phone number is 1-866-539-8674.  She was very beautiful, but persistent.  I got his information to call her back.  She said that whenever we get on the Internet, some viruses or damage of some sort gets into our computer.  She wanted to go on the computer right then, and she show me all error messages or something like this.  I said my husband was using the computer and I was in the middle of something, which was true.

  I know that we have received an error message that Windows XP is not 'more protected by Microsoft' and basically we should buy a new computer.  Is this related?  What exactly means that Windows XP is no longer supported?

  Windows has anyone who receives messages and codes of error for individual computers and pay people to call users and warn them of the disappearance to come computer threats?  Calling us that part just seems unlikely.

  Y at - it a Tech Department Windows calling proactively computer users?  I should do in addition to using Norton antivirus or McAfee (or what my husband has on this computer) to protect us from viruses and hackers?

  Thanks for the reply.

• Windows Tech Dept called me to let me know of activity on my computer.

  I'm in California.  I just got a call from the United Kingdom of a person saying they were working for the Department of Windows technology. They said that my computer has junk & malicious spyware on it and they need me to start my computer and go overboard with them and take care of it.  Do you know what it is?

  I have to believe that Microsoft would have people calling everyone in the world with Windows to go personally on their computer with them to solve a problem that does not know the person they call is?

What can be the problem, black screen whitout any beeps or any message, all LIGHTS are lighthing in addition to HD LED,.

  a friend of mine who worked 25 years in the information technology Department told me that the problem can the bios, or some bad update of the bios.

  But what you do the thing, can memory cause such a problem.

  THA laptop is ASUS X501A with windows 8 on it.

  I do not call ASUS I myself work with computers.

  Thank you

  It could be the BIOS, but I bet it's more likely that the video card is broken and no longer send any signal.  A BIOS would have normally caused a beep or something.

• Display problems with updates on Windows 7

  I used Windows 7 without problem for 2 years, but since 6 weeks, EACH Windows 7 update caused display problems (halos, horizontal and pink & light green streaks forming). My hardware withdraws like ok, so my only solution was to uninstall updates. I'm an artist, and my computer became unusable as tool-art. I noticed that people who use Windows 10 have the same problem. It's time to (gag) switch to Mac? Does anyone have a solution for this?

  "We noticed that the issue has not been marked as an answer yet and we were wondering if you solved the problem."

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Yes, reinstalling my favorite of all time, Windows XP SP3 - that support has been extended. After weeks of removal of partitions, re-formatting of C drive, re - install Windows 7 and hacking and tweaking, I gave up. Then, when I started transferring files from 7 and re - install the software, my screen went new loony.

  Uninstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader removed the problem of XP.

  Eventually, I'll buy a laptop to the internet and use XP on this computer for my art and animation programs. Gossip says Internet 7 and 8 are not as secure as XP, so I'm in no hurry to buy. People are the display problems on Windows 10, too. So maybe there is a mole of Apple in the Windows technology crew.

  Not really new. Millions of people have undergone this type of scam, claiming to come from their supplier, their bank or PayPal. People also get phone calls claiming to be from Microsoft, asking them to give the appellant access to their machine. It's all fraudulent.

• Anyone receiving calls from Microsoft Windows (call center from India by the sounds of it) saying that you have a corrupted file? Or is it a scam?

  We received a call last night from someone who claimed to be the Windows technical department saying that our computer has a file corrupted Microsoft on this issue.  First name: Richard Williams.  0261 004030 callback number.  Sounds like an Indian call center.

  I can't believe that cold Microsoft calls people.

  A quick search on google news suggests that people in Britain were targeted by something similar.

  It's a scam.

• Suddenly, Windows said that it is not authentic

  My computer is hacked.  Activation of Windows technology made me know that I am not under Genuine Windows.  I bought Windows 7 and 3 months later installed an upgrade.  Windows activation technology told me to buy Windows, even if I already bought.  Does anyone know if Microsoft would get directly involved in this situation that someone is poorly represent their name and their software.  Do I need to buy again or Microsoft will replace due to circumstances.  Your comments please.

  Thank you

• Problems with Synaptics Trackpad, and Windows 8

  I use a HP Pavilion dm4 with a Synpatics PS/2 port touchpad.

  I look down.

  I had a new upgrade to Windows 8 Pro and had installed the Synaptics touchpad drivers.

  At the beginning, that it worked well. I had use of all the features like the shots of border and multitouch gestures

  That lasted only a few days, however, how she returned to regular feature where the only thing I had was available to scroll. It seemed back in the functionality of the Windows 7 driver.

  And, whenever I tried to use the Synaptics control center it tells me that it cannot find that a connected Synaptics touchpad, which is strange, because it is without a doubt detected by Windows as the touchpad as I a see in Device Manager.

  The exact message is "If you have installed another PS/2 pointing device driver, please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. "It makes no sense, because I certainly have not connected an external device. The uninstall does not work - see the following.

  I tried the following:

  1. I went to the Device Manager and tried to update drivers touchpad there... nothing helps, of course. He said that my version was up-to-date.
  2. I tried to reinstall the driver. If I uninstall the driver, he invites me to restart the computer... the problem is that when I did it and the computer has restarted, or the keyboard or the touchpad responded. I had to do a system restore to be able to use again.

  What is a solution for this? I'm kinda stuck. I can try to do a refresh as soon as I have my installation media but I won't for awhile.

  Hello.

  We had the same problem with a Compaq laptop.

  Windows Update has updated the synaptics driver with a version that not working with shots.

  I removed this driver and had no toutchpad and keyboard work.

  With a mouse, I could use the screen keyboard on (someware sits on the lockscreen) and I was able to reinstall the hp synaptics driver.

  I put the update driver in hidden Windows update Department. Don't remember how exactaly.

• Windows 8 a piece of junk, or I did something wrong

  We got a new comp preinstalled with windows8 and IE10. I knew it would be a big change in XP that I used before.  I asked countless questions in the Microsoft community to different things and one person has responded with a number of things to check... I could not because what I was asked to look for was not there, or what they described was totally different. EG: they told me to go to the settings in the charming bar and hit, well he did not part. I looked today and the only things left on the list of settings (search, tiles and help). What is happening, is this model removing things with a clean mind.  It tends to put things on my homepage as well. Not a lot of other work on that either, as it should be.  Someone please help.

  I find as funny, if you have any questions about windows8, you pay for a windows technology to talk to you. It's like they are even behind their product once they have your money.
