YOU USE A ROUTER TO MAKE JUST A WIRELESS COMPUTER.

Need to check if my thinking is correct. I have a HP Pavilion dv9740us laptop with wi - fi capabilities.  I want to be able to move home using the computer in various places in my house.  Am I correct that I can't do this by just buying any old router which has capabilities of "N" from my computer laptop wi - fi "N" and plug my cable modem?

Fix.  You would connect your router to your cable modem.  This would then be mobile in your home and access to the internet.  Make sure that you secure (passwords, WEP, etc.) your router.  Otherwise, you would give anyone with free access to wireless access to your router.

  • Lately everytime I open firefox I get the window «do you want this program to make changes to your computer...» »

    Hello

    I would be so grateful to know how to fix t his, because it's really getting on my nerves.
    
    I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I mostly always use firefox. Whenever i opened a  new browser, I never got hit with the windows badge and "Do you want this program to make changes to your computer...." or something to that effect. YOu who have windows 7 know what I mean. Of course I click yes, but I NEVER had to do this before. I don't know what changed, what might have happened. I had to have help with some software unrelated to firefox and someone had remote work on my notebook, but he should not have changed browser settings. It is really irritating me to now end to always open the browser now and have to hear that annoying thing and the badge.
    

    My other browsers IE and chrome do not do this.

    How can I fix this? It was never the case before for years.
    

    Thank you thank you very much in advance. I can't use this browser if that's going to happen, he finds himself on my nerves.

    A possible cause of this message, it is that Firefox is configured to run as administrator.

    Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.
    Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

    • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

    Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.
    If you cannot make changes, and then start Windows Explorer as an administrator.

  • can I set benchmarks when you use Windows Live Movie Maker?

    Between mic input and my sound card got cracked or damaged somehow through much use over 3 years ago. I have a Compaq C700CTO w. prcessors (Pentium) of intel 2 x 1.73 GHz, 2 GB of RAM. The card is a Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221. I applied a touch of glue to audio for headphones/output to stabilize because I use constantly for recording sound and it worked fine. Due to the problem with the audio/mic input (the microphone gives a record crackling whenever the amplitude is close to max), I am recording the sound of my videos with a Sandisk mp3 player and I want to sync the audio with the video file. Adobe Audition allows me to edit the audio to make it to the starting point after that I cut the sounds of preparation, but I can't figure out how to set a landmark in Live Movie Maker program without calling the start or endpoint. Is there another way to set a landmark in Live Movie Maker? I can probably use hearing to edit video too but have not always taken the habit to use it for something other than the audio editing and mixing if registered clips separately. Thank you from any point of view on Movie Maker.       DL

    You cannot set benchmarks in WLMM.

    Audition is an audio editing application, so won't edit video.

    If you use a Clap to give you a strong a few applause you will find it easy to synchronize the separate audio and video using this noise, then cut an equal amount to get rid of it in your final cut.

    Hi EatonmcMT,

    1. what security software is installed on the computer?

    2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.

    Hi Jniles,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    Do you have connected to your computer as an administrator?

    User Account Control (UAC) notifies you before changes are made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. The default UAC notifies you when programs try to make changes to your computer, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.

    Open user account control settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click change user account control settings.

    Just changed Safari on my imac. When you use the search menu in safari, I had the opportunity to "find in this page" which has been an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific words/phrases. Is it possible to have this feature using firefox?

    I think that Safari has the same keyboard shortcut in Firefox 'cmd + F' on a Mac or a 'Ctrl + F' on Windows.

    Look in the lower left corner to find. There are more likely to be next and previous differences in keyboard shortcuts, but continuing in the search bar at the bottom no matter what browser you use. It is an 'X' to reject the search bar. In Windows, the "Esc" key will reject the bar if you are in the search text entry box.

    Keyboard shortcuts:

  • Satellite L300 - 29 X just crashes when you use some of the programs installed

    I bought a Toshiba L300 29 X for my daughter (30 years) help in its work of the University.
    Since we took this home and installed the OS it is questions. At first, I thought it was to do with Vista and so I bought the upgrade to Windows 7 and installed, but the same issues are there it just freezes when you use some of the programs installed.

    I tried restoring factory several times with Vista and still once I even made restoration to the first State to install W7 disk then updated from the web and then she still uses it for his United work and it freezes.

    There is nothing wrong with his work United as when using my laptop or even its partners a there aren't any issues or problems.
    Programs are in Office 2007 and it is the same copy I have in my laptop and they are both up-to-date.

    Its mobile partners is lower than its own specification and has less RAM so that to have only a single processor.
    I tried to install the W7 as a 32-bit and a 64 bit OS, and whenever there is any change in the problems with programs

    Can someone out there suggest a possible cause or same difficulty for am I at the end of my knowledge on this issue and my daughter is about to throw the thing out the window.

    Hello

    I think that the described issue could be related to a hardware problem, given that the laptop should not have problems running the Microsoft Office applications.

    In many cases, the s for laptop system could freeze due to a higher temperature.
    My girlfriend repeatedly asked for help because the laptop froze too.

    But the problem was linked to a higher temperature because cooling fans were clogged and cooling fans might not work correctly. She used the laptop sitting on the couch and there was not a lot of free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation

    I want to say is that there are several reasons for such behavior annoying cell phone I think it would be wise to check the hardware first
    This should be done by the technician of the ASP.
