• FIISOLUTIONS LLC affiliated with Microsoft is in some way, or are they a hacker?

  I received a phone call on 15/07/13 of these people and they said hackers got into my computer from Microsoft and I should plug the hole where they get in. They gave me a phone number in New York for the Technology Department. He was 347-332-1135. Can you tell me if they are legitimate.

  It is my experience that Microsoft are seeking or publish alerts via the phone. It is very likely that you have been approached to a crook.

  The main goal is to take your money. Otherwise, steel your information to other people will pay their money for that information (whether legit email companies or those who intend to harm).

  I would avoid any person claiming to be from Microsoft (or on behalf of Microsoft) unless you yourself initiated the need for reminder of Microsoft on a very specific subject.

  Just some thoughts... Hope this gives an idea.

• Suite pretty shady and very disappointed that you are associated with this kind of practice.

  I don't have a question about my computer, but I don't want to report something. Yesterday, I had a question about why my download of Firefox don't are not remained loaded when I rebooted. I clicked on support and attached to a man such a strong accent, I had to ask her to repeat things 2 or 3 times. That's what was wrong: after I explained my problem, it took a very long time and finally said: I can help you with that, but need to access my computer remotely. He then proceeds to criticize what I had on my desk, which was of some science lab equipment that I put in a spreadsheet for my science class, but was not his business and had nothing to do with why I couldn't get Firefox to download correctly. Then he put me on hold to check something, came back and explained that I had to have my computer checked every four months and they could do that for a small fee. I said, ' what? No! I already have Apple Care Extended." He said he could help to solve my problem, I said 'OK?' but then, he said, it would be for a small fee. Quickly, I didn't say thank you. Come to find out, all I had to do was do drag the Firefox icon in the folder of the Aps. So, it's not cool. And I am very disappointed to see that you all would tolerate this practice. This is NOT supported, this is a scam!

  Where did you find the so-called Mozilla or Firefox Support?

  Mozilla does not connect to the computer of anyone, nor especially require anything for such person on a support. Like most open source companies, Mozilla doesn't do phone or send a mail.

  Hmm you are looking for Firefox Support through Google? because they have Google ads above the actual search results, and many of them, I found fits your description. None of these Google Ad links are affiliated with Mozilla.org somehow.

• Windows Update: failed. __Code 643 windows Update encountered an unknown error. _ * AND * __I cannot repair Windows 7 with the disc either. My guess is: these issues are related...? __

  I have THREE questions which PEUVENT all be linked togther... What do you think?

  [I am slot as Windows 7 Ultimate (free upgrade to Dell PC w/purchase) on a Dell 64 bit PC XPS435]
  I've upgraded from Vista about 3 weeks ago.

  #1 - Two weeks ago I had a problem with the installation of Nero/LiquidTV-TiVo to my PC... (this is also when the problem started).
  To get the "Nero" thing figured out, I took the advice of someone on the Forum/Blog of Nero. The person has provided a lenghty explanation how to uninstall LiquidTV completely by removing the registry files... I don't really know what I'm doing in the registry, but everything that I helped my problem of Nero, but I couldn't tell you WHAT I deleted OR if I have deleted any bad subfolders or whatnot!... the next time I started my PC is when the NEW NUMBER is right.

  #2 - On my next BOOT, Windows Update has found an IMPORTANT update:

  A security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for x 64 systems (KB954430)

  .. .and it fails every time, it tries to install saying this:

  Windows Update - failed

  Code 643 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

  "Get help with this error" provides little or no help... but it says this:
   "WindowsUpdate_00000643" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"
  
  All the research I did, the problem seems to be with Microsoft .NET Framework... .and all the solutions I found talking about it, "UNINSTALL all THE .NET FRAMEWORK & REINSTALL" ... I tried and there is no .NET Frameworks listed in Add/Remove, and when I press on ' VIEW INSTALLED UPDATES'... " on my PC it says, "no updates are installed on this computer"... what the _____?

  #3 - Today, I thought I would just pop the WINDOWS 7 installation disc and do a repair/upgrade... It will not be upgraded.
  He cycles most of the way through, then he Has STOPPED and says this:

  The following problems prevent upgrade Windows. Cancel the upgrade, perform each task, (it lists only a SINGLE task), and then restart the upgrade to continue.

  • Windows needs to be restarted if necessary to system files can be changed before you continue.

    Does not help restart. He tried 3 times and he ends up doing the same thing.
    Is it possible I deleted something out of the register so far here and which is cause of all this?
    If so, is it possible to fix WITHOUT doing a new install of Windows 7?
    OR... anything can be a problem... Please HELP!

    (And please note: I am a first year student college with specialization in computer science... but I just started last semester, so I don't know what I should... yet. - though, I SHOULD have known better than to mess with the registry!) My bad).

    Thanks a lot for your time in advance, and I look forward to hear from you!  VikeMike4
    

  Erwan,
  You must read this entire thread and the State, if you have tried the steps listed here or that you tried to fix the problem.  Take a look at this article, because it has a solution for 643 errors: KB971187

• I received recent phone calls from someone who says they are with Microsoft

  I received phone calls recently from a person saying they are with Microsoft and that my computer has been downloading unnecessary files.  They claim they know because the error and warning messages are sent to the Inbox of Microsofts.  I am reluctant to talk more with them.

  How can I be sure of who's calling?  In addition, if it is true, how can I check my computer?

  Hello

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  https://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• My date and time settings are set in Egypt and whenever updates of the laptop with microsoft server time, it increases of 1 h.

  My date and time settings are set in Egypt and whenever updates of the laptop with microsoft server time, it increases of 1 h.
  Recently in Egypt, changes of daylight has been cancelled and I guess that's the cause of the problem!
  Any ideas?

  If time was recently cancelled, you can go to your control panel:
  Panel-> data and time-zone (tab) >
  and uncheck the "automatically adjust clock for daylight saving time.

  Otherwise, you probably need to adjust your zone settings on your computer using Microsoft time zone Editor.

• What does "Microsoft Partners"? It is affiliated by Microsoft?

  Like many other Internet users, I heard rumors that ' iLivid/Bandoo Media' is a poison. In my attempts to study, I discovered a Web site that uses the term 'Microsoft Partner,' in the title, but, at the foot of the message, says that the company that created the Web page "has" name/logo ' Microsoft Partners. What I'm trying to establish, for my own peace of mind is, ' fact Microsoft Corporation have a real affiliation with this Web site, or they are just trying to make me "bite" on something?

  There is a Microsoft Partner program that is in the world for companies to join and they could get support from Microsoft using Microsoft Technologies in their business or act as a third party (non-Microsoft) consultant:

  https://partner.Microsoft.com/

  They do not represent Microsoft, but they will work with Microsoft somehow. For specific Web site or a company, must check in the Microsoft Partner Web site to see if they are Microsoft Partner or not and if they use Microsoft name to SCAM people, you could report through the contact us at the Microsoft Partner Network website.

• How can I check to see if my system and components are compatible with WINDOWS VISTA, given that the counsel is no longer available?

  I use WIN XP as my main OS and I want to ugrade it for WIN VISTA Home Premium, but the ADVISOR WINDOWS VISTA is no longer available! How will I know if all my components are compatible with WINDOWS VISTA before I buy it?

  Hello

  You should check with the manufacturers of hardware and program

  and use the Vista Compatibility Center

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/

  and read the vista system requirements

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/system-requirements

  __________________________________________________________________

  But Microsoft sells more than Vista.

  They switched to Windows 7

  If you are lucky, you could always find a copy of Vista to your local computer repair store

• Oracle 9i with microsoft sql server.

  How to connect oracle 9i with microsoft sql server.

  simply the following steps...

  Oracle9i, like the previous versions, supports heterogeneous services in order to allow data in the non-Oracle database to be queried using SQL. This support was in the form of transparent gateways, which are connectivity, vendor specific or generic using ODBC or OLEDB to connect. Features supported by a generic connectivity are generally more limited than as possible when using the vendor specific gateways, but it is fast and simple to configure. The following steps can be used to connect to Oracle to any compatible ODBC database (MS Access, SQL Server etc.) on the local server:
  Make sure that a valid user name and password are present for the non-Oracle (MyUser/mypassword) database.
  Create a data source ODBC for database non-Oracle (Network1).
  Create a file called: "ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin\initACCESS1.ora", which contains:

  HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = Network1 #ODBC DSN
  HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF
  Add the following entry in the tnsnames.ora file:

  NETWORK1. WORLD =
  (DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST=localhost) (PORT = 1521))
  (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ACCESS1))
  (HS = OK)
  )
  Add the following entry in the listener.ora file:

  (SID_DESC =
  (SID_NAME = NETWORK1)
  (ORACLE_HOME = D:\Oracle\Ora\9011)
  (PROGRAM = hsodbc)
  )
  Reload the listener: lsnrctl reload
  Create a database to help link:

  CREATE DATABASE LINK access1.world CONNECT TO 'MyUser' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyPassword' USING "Network1. WORLD ';
  Query the table to help:

  SELECT *.
  OF [email protected];
  With MS Access, the first query is slow because of the request for access is loading. As expected, the following queries are not displayed a similar shift.

• Toshiba software conflicts with Microsoft and prevent the wireless connection

  The Toshiba Software on this laptop I have is causing a conflict with Microsoft software and I can't connect wirelessly to an ad - hoc network. Wireless Auto configuration does not automatically start as Toshiba Software is causing a conflict, above, this rolling. If you have also encountered this problem please can you me what you can do to permanently solve this problem? For the moment, I have to go through a process of manually start the Wireless Zero Configuration services and fiddling around with disable and then re-enable wireless network connections if I'm lucky then it finally works, and I have internet! If you are unsure how to permanently solve this problem you know what the telephone support number is for Toshiba UK?

  Thank you very much

• Devices that are compatible with the Tablet HP Jet 7 Signature Edition

  With HP Jet 7, what Bluetooth wireless keyboard and optical mouse will work with it?

  Also, I buy a wireless printer to use as well - I have to be aware of?

  I'm starting a blog with limited capital. Thank you to everyone who contributes to the cybercomputability of us all.

  Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

  Ask us the question, "what should I buy?" is difficult to answer.  We do not know your needs or preferences (others you have "limited Fund").  There are hundreds of printers with wireless capabilities.  Still, we don't know what you're wanting - ink jet, laser, color, photo printing capacity jet, absolute who is cheapest available?  Print you hundreds of documents per month, or two or three?

  You ask strictly for HP products which are compatible with the Tablet?  All/all products from other manufacturers?

  If you are expected to produce a list of all the possible volumes that work, it won't happen...

  In theory, any BlueTooth keyboard or mouse designed to work with a Windows PC should work.  HP made several.

  Most wireless printers use a wifi network.  It will help if you have one at home - an HP ePrint printer can print a file from anywhere in the world if connect you to a network home.  No network?  There are other printers that can print directly using wifi.

  Think about your needs first, and then balance the costs involved.   It would be useful you ask on the printers in the printer of the Forum sections.

• Age of Empires II - "can't initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw.

  Hello

  I have a problem of Age of Empires 2 running on my new computer. Keeps displaying the following error message: "cannot initialize the graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. "Someone at - it solutions to this? I have already visited many forums and trying different solutions; None of them helped.

  Tried solutions: change the compatibility and as an administrator, switching to 16-bit color, turn off my graphics card, execution of the extension "nostartup" of the game, looking for old patches from Microsoft (which most are now unavailable due to the game being so old). I KNOW that others have been able to get this game to work on the Windows 7 operating system, but with a few other quirks and I KNOW my video card and driver are more than capable of handling this game. Any suggestions?

  System Specs:

  System manufacturer/model number Dell/Studio 540
  Operating system windows 7 home premium 32 bit
  6 GB of memory
  Graphics card ATI Radeon HD 4350
  Monitor (s) displays Reference Dell ST2410

  I had the above problem with AOEII:Age of the Kings. My brief spec is Windows 7 Ultimate edition (SP1) and a card nVidia 8600 GT. I did the following (make sure you reboot after each installation):

  Make sure that you are running the latest patch of AOEII:AOK (2. 0 a):

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=35

  Download and install the latest version of DirectX:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=5264

  Download and install the latest nVidia Driver suite. I left the autodetect my card software and reset all my default settings. I also installed the full software suite:

  http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

  Finally, right click on the shortcut of AOE and click Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and select the following:

  -Run this program in compatibility mode - choose Windows XP Service Pack 2 (!) NOT 3!)
  -Disable visual themes
  -Disable the Composition of the Bureau
  -Run this program as an administrator

  One of the above options maybe work on its own, but that's what I had to do to make it work and I tested it after each step.

  Good luck!
