Wrong letters

Windows XP SP3 Media Center.

I can have multiple problems on this machine - and will go through the complete sequence for the verification of the malware, then software, then hardware problems. But I hope that someone will have an overview that can help shorten the process.

When I start the computer and hold F5 I get a screen that looks like the safe mode screen - but much letters are replaced by other letters. So, for example, Safe Mode is "Safe Egde" - and what gets will have system32/Drivers is sqstee32TDravers...

And it takes a long time to start - and then restarts and attempts to boot but restarts along the way - and then... and then it starts well and finally seems somewhat normal.

This rings the bells for anyone? I'm suspecting the video card for obvious reasons...

Hello

Although a driver may cause strange registration problems, the fact that it occurs just before the Windows startup (in Start menu) indicates that this is a hardware problem. This is because that the drivers have not yet even loaded.

It could be that there is something wrong with the power supply (the card does not receive enough power), memory, or even the PCI-E slot the card is plug. Because he ran for some time before the problem started, I guess that the problem begins when something begins to get hot - very probably the card.

I propose to replace the card first, just to test (as you do). If it still does not work, you can test your RAM running Memtest86 you can download from http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

  • Windows Live Mesh can not pass the verification of the image in the journal in.

    Problem installing Windows Live Mesh. Under Vista, I installed all available updates. I installed Live Mesh and restarted the computer, but it will not start correctly. He asked me to sign, I do, then it goes to a screen of image verification. Type of image and it goes back to the page, log in. This happens in a constant loop, so I know that this isn't just a matter of checking the playback picture incorrectly or enter the wrong letters/numbers. When I hit the sound check, it gives a completely different set of numbers and a lot of strange noises. I tried to get these numbers, just to see, and yet it returns me to the login page. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice Live Mesh with no luck. Y at - it a known solution for this problem?

  • Factory warranty of blackBerry Smartphones

    Hello, I'm getting rather desperate to not be able to solve the problem with my white Bold9780.

    I have a 1 year BB bold 9780 white. I bought this smartphone on the web 10/19/2011 to an official supplier of BB (Gigavolt) but without SIM-lock and subscription. Then I bought a SIM only at T-mobile subscription. This combination well until last October when problems with the key to the lock and the key Board has begun to spoil my communications.

    Unfortunately, Gigavolt went bankrupt in May this year. now, we took their warranty obligations so a dead-end.

    I can't go to T-mobile, because they give me the phone. So now I'm trying to use the warranty service factory RIM since the phone has a 2-year warranty. So I'm still whithin the warranty period.

    The only phone number, that I could find on the web was to the United Kingdom, but it seems more to be in use.

    So I sent an email to [email protected] about where to go. The answer was a general response indicating that the email has not been delivered and that I had to go to the be my wirelss supplier (which would be in this case does not, but T-mobile, see above) or on the forum. It would have been different, of course, if I was a professional company with a technical support contract.

    So this forum seems to be my last resort before considering my BB to be trash and throw it away. Of course I can always try a smartphone repair shop, but that would be the guarantee of course.

    If anyone knows what to do in this case special? Where can I go to with my Bold 9780 for repair or replacement to the title of the factory warranty? The problem is 2 times: a key that does not 'lock' and a problem of keyboard (letters do not appear or the wrong letters appear after pressing the keys).

    Antoine

    Antoine, just so you know, this is a support forum for user community. We are not employed RIM, but volunteers who enjoy helping other users. ON-BOARD staff rarely comment on queries posted here. We are users like you.

    If your machine was purchased in October 2011, it would be under warranty, regardless.

    The question that you specify ("a key that does not 'lock' and a keyboard problem (letters do not appear or the wrong letters appear after pressing the keys") is not uncommon with devices with moisture damage.

    This looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause problems with keyboard and trackball up to this JUST-withered. Really, it is more common than you think.
    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.
    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).
    4. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):
    * Place the BB in a container of rice uncooked dry, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
    * On top of any heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor
    * On the dashboard of your car on a day sunny

  • With the help of Rescue and Recovery to make backups of 3 different machines

    Hello, I have three laptop Thinkpad T400, X 61 and R61i. I want to back up by using an external hard drive. The HD is divided into three partitions, the smallest of X 61, the middle of R61i and most importantly - for T400. I backed up all my laptops in the appropriate partitions (base backups), but now, so I want to make partial backups, they go to the bigger partition (for the T400). Is it possible (and how) do R & R to always use the same partition for each laptop while safeguarding it?

    A few notes, to respond to your previous post:

    (1) Sysprep is used by administrators to deploy and image system to other machines. Basically, the system starts standalone RNR and save the image (drive C and the same HARD drive partitions) on the service partition.  Comment enumeration pleasure has to with additional partitions on the C drive HDD.  For sysprep to work, additional partitions must be of type Extended. The windows PE, is a windows "skimpy" PRE environment. For win7, the EP is based on Vista with a small set of win7 features added.  Thie PE is used for developers (as Lenovo) to install their systems.

    * None of this applies to a user at home like you and me *.

    (2) the logic used in the RNR for the GUI vs bent the advanced GUI are DIFFERENT.

    Example: the user has part C, D and E on C disk HARD drive.  Uses advanced parms to set backup (local) to go to E drive.

    If the backup through the advanced graphical interface, drive E is honored.

    If the backup is performed through simple GUI, the partition with the largest free space is used.

    Note: using the Second HARD drive don't offer NO choice to designate a partition target of \RRbackups.

    (3) view of backups.  It's clearly too.

    When a backup is performed, and RNR is locked on him, it will REFRESH the registry entries for the content of backup.dats in the \rrbackups folder. Subsequent backups of view will probably be read from the registry. That is to say no record of reloading. Simpified mistletoe might once again, just to use the registry, the locks of GUI in the new backup folder.

    (4) your letter removal/restoration

    a: I have no idea how autonomous RNR will react to the 3 folders on the second \rrbackup, IE the part 1, 2, 3.

    b. If rnr backups locked in the wrong \rrbackup folder, you will have a total mess. A symptom of this: you take a basic (full) backup, and the next backup, which should be an incremental, is actually another full backup.  This error could occur if you deleted the wrong letters.

    (5) you have a mess.

    If I save it again this PC, R & R is a point instead of a differential backup<>

    It would take a lot of work on you end to look in the backup files.  Not worth it.

    Again, the simpifed GUI backup use different logic. He likes the larger partition.

    From what you say, you used simplified and got the base of the machine backup 3 all go good part 1, 2, 3.

    Somewhere in this mess, he locked in a \rrbackups without a base backup folder and took another backup.

    who knows.

    ==

    Release notes:

    Review 4
    ----------------
    Location of backup changes when you select a smaller partition through the advanced interface of the Rescue and Recovery program.

    In the advanced interface of the Rescue and Recovery program, you select a partition more small capacity on your local hard drive as the backup location. Then, you switch to the simplified interface to create the backup. However, the backup is created on the partition with the highest capacity.

    To resolve this problem, back up your system in the advanced interface of the Rescue and Recovery program after you have selected the backup location.

    ===

    The solution is the cleanest way to follow. I would always use the GUI advanced for now on.

  • user name displays wrong in capital letters at the top of the support page. I see it correct in post however; Passwords not displayed in the Security page?

    There is a similar issue where a user asks why his user name is indicated in all cases of small. My problem is the reverse of this and have a problem me of security in the way that it appears. Do you understand what I'm saying / implying? Second half of my question must be indicated separately... but I can't show screen captures and copy / paste it to display all my concerns separately. It took me two weeks just to get the support of Mozilla to take one of my questions, which includes a separate question on the connection to this page (to check under my username). I'm that raise because I can't it spend many hours just trying to get answers to things that should never occur on Firefox. It's as if it's the same amount of security issues, such as Internet Explorer a. cannot find a field course. Your app problems works, I see well at first glance. But good blood, so many hours spent on brand laptop nine just to any browser without these security vulnerabilities expose me as I am naked; just try out these issues for you. I'm sorry to ramble on time, but it seems so wrong to have so many problems on a PC new, new version of FF 41! There are issues with copy / paste, to better explain the problems of screen capture. I need to be connected to a remote control utility PC just to show all questions. Is this possible with your troubleshooting app? Please don't leave me because I'm sniveling. I must really be reassured that it will happen as I am exposed just by sending this. Can you feel me? I need to view the issue with error message of synchronization. Is it possible to address all the issues at once with your troubleshooting app? What I really need to open each issue separately because they are many. Sorry, but I can't reinstall FF 41 is no cure for these issues. Is no answer. Thanks in advance for listening. I believe in FF/Mozilla concepts.

    I use a rule in userContent.css to change this in small capitals.
    Which looks almost the same and allows to preserve the species, that is to ask a question shows with a capital 'A' instead of as 'ASK A QUESTION '.

    You can use the Inspector to find the switch to other containers where you want to change the appearance.

    @-moz-document domain(support.mozilla.org) {
     #aux-nav,.question-meta {font-variant:small-caps}
    }

    Add the code to the userContent.css file.

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • I can not read PDF files in my e-mails. It opens with a few letters, numbers, symbols all jumbled. What's wrong?

    I tried to save the file, and then open the file, instead of opening the first, but it still doesn't work.  I have install Adobe Reader. What I am doing wrong?

    It seems that it does not open with Adobe. Is this correct?

    Right-click on the file.
    Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
    Click: Choose [default] program.
    Letter: Adobe Reader.
    Check: Always use the selected program to open this type of file.
    Click OK.

    Hello

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. do you get any error code/messages?

    3. what version of the Windows operating system is installed on the computer?

    4 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    5. did you check the black ink level?

    I suggest to check the settings of the printer and make sure it is set up for photos and text. You can also clean the print head and check. Check the manual of the printer for the same thing.

    If that is not enough then you can uninstall the driver , and then install the latest driver on the manufacturer's Web site.

  • Keyboard, type the letters wrong when you play

    When I start a game on my computer without running as an administrator, he begins to act really weird. All the letters stop working. That would happen, that if I press q, he's input 1. If I have another letter of the alphabet input, it will correspond to another number, but the weird part is if I try to write a message in the game, the type of letters about what they are supposed to type.  I don't know why this is happening, everything was working fine until I recently updated my laptop. It'll be great if someone could help me with this problem.

    Hi all

    Check the following suggestions:

    (1) confirm that your keyboard is set to the English language.
    Go to the control panel. Click the icon "Region and language".
    If the setting appears to be in a foreign language, change it to English/U.S.
    Click on keyboard and language, make sure the keyboard language is set to English.
    Click on the keyboard to change and in the general tab, make sure you have the appropriate language.

    (2) check if your NumLock key is enabled. If so, the key to disengage.

    (3) run a litmus test of characters using the Diagnostics of keyboard Microsoft (MSKEY) program. While in the MSKEY program, press multiple keys in order to ensure that they are the same keys identified in the MSKEY window.
    To run the MSKEY diagnostic test, go to the Start button. In the start search box, type mskey, and press ENTER.
    Then start typing the keys that are not type correctly and see what is returned during the test.

    Please let us know if you were able to identify all the problems.

    Sincerely,.

    I was informed by a beneficiary of my email my email is spread too wide and too hard to read.
    Is it possible to set a limit to the width of my text (or the number of letters)?
    Thank you for the support in advance.

    Hmm. There are places on the Web where the space is not allowed, specifically in URLs and a symbolic representation, such as % 20, is used. If you have been picking them up, an email client cannot see an opportunity to break the line as those offered by a real space.

    However, these lines incriminated look like OK you in Thunderbird before you send them off? When I worked with other users reporting this issue, we saw nothing wrong with the sent message and concluded that the problem is at the end of the recipient. This affects all of your contacts, or just a select few? Are they by any chance using any particular email client or Viewer?

    'Paste unformatted' in Thunderbird works better for you, compared to go through Notepad? Have you tried text editors more sophisticated such as notepad ++?
