  Hi, Zjpz,

  What version of Internet Explorer you are using-

  Change in size/content of the file during the transfer is the typical result of the use of text transfer mode. With mode, the sequence of characters to delimit lines in the text file is changed. Under Windows, the sequence has two bytes, then to a single byte on Unix. Where the change in file size.

  http://WinSCP.NET/Eng/docs/faq_transfer_size_change

  Why changes in the size of file after the download of video/Audio

  I would like to develop the explanation using a type of FLV video file for example. For the above example image, the size of the original file was 9,88 MB and the video format is FLV - which is a Flash video. This type of video is super compressed to save bandwidth and streams of the fastest video on a computer. During the process of re-encoding, it is off compression first before it is re-encoded. Output size is dependent on the type of media file that you download, you will notice little change downloading format that uses less compression method.

• Popup "Windows Activation Technologies", saying "this computer is not running genuine Windows". 0x8004fe22 validation error

  I haave had this since 2008 HP Pavilion desktop computer.  It came with Win 7 Home installed, and Office Depot had upgraded to Win 7 Pro.  I ran it without any problem of validation for more than three years now.  Tuesday I'll be back for an appointment and the computer went to sleep.  When he woke up normally, I found a 'Windows Activation Technologies' popup saying "this computer is not running genuine Windows".  I tried the link "pay online now", but he ordered me to have to pay for a new facility.  I do not want to do because my Windows has already been purchased and is valid for more than three years.

  Then run Windows Genuine Advantage Diagnostic tool and it came true.

  I ran full virus and malware scan with Avast Pro and Malwarebytes Pro and a complete diagnosis with Advanced System Care Pro tools that have always kept this system clean and stable.  As expected, no malware, regular maintenance tasks only were delivered.  It's been several days since the last time that I made no change to the system (I upgraded a utility) and the system has been rebooted at least four times after that without problem.  The only other change was an update of Windows.  Interestingly, after that same Windows Update on my machine Vista, it refused to start (BSOD) and I had to go back to a two days old restore point - that fixed it.  I always had a mysterious problem with Win 7 Pro machine that it creates restore points, but I can never find, so I can't have this option on this computer.

  I'm trying to start a new business and cannot afford to be without my computer, or do strange things, or buy a new copy of Windows and take the time to restore a careful configuration of three years.  I when I recently bought a new laptop from Office Depot, I also bought a Windows 7 Pro upgrade kit and installed myself.  When I did, I realized that the update CHANGES THE PRODUCT KEY and I knew not when they improved the office... they give me new product key for the Pro upgrade, so all I have is the original OEM key and apparently going to lose my Pro upgrade if I need to reimage from the disks in the system or the OEM partition.  This is not acceptable, either, and I have no idea how to go about face.  The transaction took place three years ago!

  Please help; I'm already running on the razor's edge with the launch of this company.  This error is likely to destroy me financially.  I can't do what I need to do on the laptop - it is a low-cost, minimal machine and specifically, has no office and the ability to perform graphics... things cutting-edge software that I need to be able to do.

  Click Start

  in the search box, type

  System restore

  and press the Enter key

  Once the system restore is displayed, click Next

  Now put a check mark in the box "Show more restore points.

  What points appear now?

  If there is a just before your problem, try this.

  If this isn't the case - as I say, CANCEL any act performed by ASC and uninstall it.

  Then run another MGADiag report and post it.

• I can't install lenovo onekey recovery on my windows 7 64 bit system. The download is designed for 64-bit systems, but it keeps telling me to install it on a system of ILO 3w2.

  The Lenovo onekey recovery was accidentally removed from my laptop G570 - which uses a 64-bit Windows 7 system. The Lenovo support section gives two options for restoring onekey to my machine: a 32-bit or a 64-bit.  I choose the 64-bit download and download the driver.  However, it will not be installed and the message comes back on: "this must be installed on a 32-bit program.

  There is no doubt that I do the right choice of a 64-bit download for a 64 bit system.  What can go wrong?
  Thank you in advance.

  Since it is a specialized Lenovo software, you would probably need to speak directly with support from Lenovo.

  It is not uncommon that the download link points to the wrong queue (s).

• I downloaded a file of visualization for Windows Media Player from Microsoft. The downloaded file is there, but I can't seem to read in the media player. How to play?

  Type: Windows Installer 5.53 MB Package of: download.microsoft.com

  I have Service Pack 2 32-bit

  When I go to the media player and use the bars drop to visualizations names of downloaded files are there, but when I click on it the screen remains empty. I downloaded other visualizations and they work fine.

  Hello

  .msi is simply microsoft program so if you have windows, means that you can run it... ;) I had the same problem too, but it turns out that it was caused by my graphics driver... I have nvidia and its recent update supported not only such things... I had to reinstall the whole system and now it works again (that I na not reinstall just cos of visualizations) but try to reinstall your graphics card driver... hope that helps... :-) or you can even try the opposite... uninstall the current driver and run the older again, might help, but will prevent probably other programs functions...:-/ then make the choice... :) but I can confirm that psychedelia skins are pretty cool... ;)

  How to do a clean install of Windows XP

  Start by changing the BIOS setting to start from the CD drive first.
  Then see below:

  Michael Steven: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html
  more information: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/XPClean.htm
  and: http://www.theeldergeek.com/clean_installation_of_windows_xp.htm
  also: http://www.bootdisk.com/

  Also, make sure you have the drivers you need for your mother, video card
  card, sound card, etc.
  Try Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
  He did a good job of providing a wealth of information, including key software codes
  and you will need drivers for devices.

  If you perform a clean installation on an existing PC which has XP already installed:
  Check your code CD Key corresponds to what Belarc Advisor reports to your existing installation.
  Note: Windows OEM installs usually come with a sticker on the PC or laptop and may not match the installed key factory.
   
  Note: A number of vendors now supply restore CD or a restore hard disk partition
  and, usually, do not provide a Windows XP CD.

  Hi Dodamoda,

  Thanks for posting. Do you get this error when starting Internet Explorer or some other place? Also, you said that the last resort was to recharge. Reload you the entire operating system already? Regarding the DLL error that you've published, please follow the article below the link if this problem is when you start Internet Explorer.
