It wasn't Microsoft.It is a scam and that is becoming more and more common lately. But
even worse, if you let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what confidential information they stole.
So, if you did. I highly recommend that you do both of the following immediately:
1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
2. change all your passwords, especially all of banks or other financial sites.

I migrated my Macbook pro to an Imac Photoshop works very well, but CC says that there is a problem. It tells me to download CC but when I try to install it fails and tells me that I need CC?
Migration/transfer of Adobe applications does not work. You must install using installation files. Uninstall, and then use the CS cleanup tool. Then download/install the desktop application, connect and install applications subscription.

Original title: BAD USB
I have an Acer netbook. I was able to download my photos from my computer on a USB key until a few days ago. When I plug in the USB on my netbook and you want to open, it tells me that there is no disc in the drive? Why does it say this?
I am confused with this... I really hope someone can help me.
Thank you for your time in doing
Dido
Hey Toni-LeeFurlotte,
· Have you tried to connect to a different USB port?
Method 1: Try to connect the USB key to a different port on the netbook and check the issue. You can also connect the drive to another computer and see if the problem persists.
Method 2: Update of the netbook with the latest chipset drivers. In addition, install other updates of the device driver. Log in the Web site of the manufacturer to do the same thing.
Method 3: This problem can also occur if there is a drive letter conflict. A drive letter conflict occurs if the disk that is affected by the error is mapped to a reserved drive letter. I suggest you try to change the drive letter.

Microsoft calls customers to warn them that their computer is showing defects?
I was contacted twice in the last 3 days of a call center, claiming that they are from Microsoft and they discovered that my computer is showing the flaws. I asked them to send me an email instead and warned, I got her phone number and should be to the police.
I suspect that it is a phishing scam. Who would have my phone number with regard to my computer?
Somehow I can check, I'm not wrong and look into this further?It is not Microsoft and whatever they are, they try to rip you off. Search in this forum for the words scam and the phone.
If they call again just tell them that you don't even have a PC. See how fast they cling.

U - Verse tells me that I need to download Quicktime to listen to my phone messages. How do I do that?
Apple no longer supports QuickTime for Windows and it is not recommended that you install it due to lack of updates, which raises the possibility of security vulnerabilities:

I often receive an email that contains more than 10 images (attachments) but when I get this message, I can't as a pop up comes up and tells me that I must remove some of the attachments that would destroy a part of the message. What should I do to correct this?
The images may be too large to send massively as they must be encoded to send by e-mail, and this coding can add as much as 40% of the size of the message. You can resize to fit the web by reducing their dots per inch to 96 (screen resolution) and then saving them as a compressed jpeg files. IrfanView (www.irfanview.com - free) will do this for you.
You can also try Message | To send as an attachment and see if it goes through.

Windows XP Activation loop.
When I turn on my computer it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click on 'YES' it takes me to the activation page and says that Windows is already activated. All I can do is, click 'OK' and he takes me into a log on screen with my name on it and goes through the same process, as described at the beginning of this statement. I'm in a loop. The only way out is to wipe my hard drive and reload windows new who, within 30 days, it will do no doubt once again. How to do this?
For 3 years I rebooted my computer. That's why I reloaded it in the first place. I sent this version of Windows XP by Microsoft and have recharged the system at least 4 times in the past 10 or 11 years.Ken
Hello
1. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?
I suggest you to see link below and check if it helps.
You are prompted to activate Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 every time that you start the computer:

I installed Microsoft Security Essentials today and I'm trying to edit startup programs. Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open. However, most of the security will not allow Windows Defender be turned on and I want to change the startup parameters. How can I accomplish this?
Hello
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And now edit startup in Vista without using Defender programs, use one of the following methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Or the program Autoruns for FREE:
"V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"

original title: Flash Player
I have installed Adobe Flash Player on my PC (Vista), and every time I want the internet ((spécifiquement ferme ville,, sur facebook)) a box appears and tells me that there is a problem with an add-on that was installed called flash10c.ocx. How can I solve this problem? I tried everything I could think of. I deleted my cookies (and Add-ons), re-installed Adobe Flash Player and nothing works.
What browser are you using IE or Firefox or others? Sometimes special versions of Flash are required for browsers, and besides, IE 64-bit does not support modules including Flash, she, that is to say, it takes the 32-bit version, even on a 64-bit machine.
Take a look at IE / tools / manage add-ons and make sure that 'Shockwave Flash Object' is enabled.
Check that you downloaded the correct version in the first place.

* Original title: DirectX and space engineers
Hello, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit and my diagnosis tool DirectX says that my current version is DirectX 11, but when I try to run space engineers and use a world with planets, he tells me that I need to run DirectX 11. When I go to my DirectX folder, it says that I am running DirectX 9.0, I'm very confused and internet only helped me at all up to this point. All suggestions/help and help will be greatly appreciated.
Well, is it not a strange ball game? Minimum = DX9 and DX11 for planets.
Looks like no shore leave for you then... :)
"NOTE: the minimum requirements are enough to run the game, but without the global functions,
which requires DirectX 11. »
"When I go into my file DirectX it tells me that I'm running DirectX 9.0"
Direct X folder?
Win7 has DX9, 10 & 11. However, older graphics cards are not be able to use DX11 (or DX10 if old enough).
It comes to graphics cards which are older than AMD HD 5000 (version ' 09) and Nvidia GTX 400 (exit 10) series.
EDIT: This also applies to the older map HD4000 Intel integrated graphics (Inc., HD3000, and all the "GMA" graphic integrated).
----------------------
-Here is a list of the .dll Direct X files you when files are updated.
There are more files DX (Xinput and audio), but these are most of the graphs related to Direct X .dllGo to Windows / System 32 folder (and SysWOW64 if you have 64-bit).
-They are in alphabetical order and begin by d3dx9_24.dll > 43. Then d3dx10 - 33 43 >
. & Finally d3dx11 - 42 43 >.
It should also be--d3d9, d3d10 and d3d11. These come before the D3Dcompilers - 33 > 43.If all of these files is missing update Direct X using the DX Web Installer.
Download DirectX end-user Runtime Web Installer from the official Microsoft Download Center
Sometimes, a file is corrupt (mainly by games always reinstall DX unnecessarily). I have this case
DX must be reinstalled using the full DirectX redist (June 2010) -

I want to install the Commander of the force star wars on my new PC, but says it is not compatible with windows 64-bit. I have try on windows XP mode and it tells me that I need to connect a hardware 3D device. I really love the game and I want to use it again.
Any old copy of Windows XP that could be installed in the host system? If you do not, it should be available at a modest price of an online seller. Perhaps (I'm not too), even an old Windows 98 TO work. The game (using a 3D engine) will not work under pure DOS, so you need a Windows environment so that it can work. Just FYI: If you get this old classic to run, new issues may arise. Known are the "mss32.dll" runtime error (you may need to replace this file with the newer version of SW:KOTOR 1) and the issue of video cutscenes (the games uses an obsolete video codec, Smacker - either you find an old *.) DLLS for it or have you convert movies in a modern format).
In conclusion: get old games to run on software/hardware modern (it is not only a problem of BONE) is one of the most fascinating and rewarding challenges to a real fan. But do not expect it will not be easy "out of the box" (or simply insert a CD).
