This is problem Windows security with user Interesting sort of a weird problem that I imagine someone has encountered before My wife s computer at work might have been damaged in a flood water heater broke But the PC was off Interesting problem with Windows user security and the hard drive in the PC tower never got wet So I popped the hard drive out and brought it home I installed this hard drive as a slave in my home PC and XP recognized it immediately My plan was to backup all the data put the drive back in to her work PC and try turning it on That way if a short causes everything to crash and burn I still have her data on my home PC I am afraid to turn the work PC on until I have backed up the data Now on to the problem At my wife s work she had numerous users on it so the important documents were stored under the password protected quot My Documents quot folder for the owner of that PC This folder is obviously actually under the quot Documents and Settings Owner quot directory under root When I try to view the contents of this directory from my PC I keep getting the message quot Access denied quot I can t seem to figure out how to override the security from her original computer Do I need to modify the registry settings on her drive to remove any security on that directory Thanks for any help Some additional details - My PC has installed my wife s drive as F - I tried creating the same name account with owner privileges on my PC so for example if the owner on the original flooded PC was named quot Stacy quot I created a quot Stacy quot account with owner privileges on my PC but this didn t seem to help - I tried setting up my wife s drive as the primary and removed my original drive After setting it up in the BIOS I still couldn t get my PC to boot even in safe mode nbsp

Let us know if it worked.
I've a problem with my optical drive. After finalizing the disk during burning when it is again inserted it is just throwing out the disk without reading the contents in it. But it is reading the disks which were previously written using the same optical drive.Those disks which are thrown out when inserted into another optical drive of another system it is reading them.
I'm not able to find solution for this. Someone please help me out.
Please fill out your System Specs under User CP on the forums.
One other thing is your optical drive IDE or Sata ?
I have had this harddrive for about months now Here is the Newegg link http www newegg com Product Product aspx Item N E When I got the drive I made it my primary because my old one is IDE I put a fresh copy of Windows HD on Windows Install Recurring Problem Interesting with XP on it and was good to go everything was fine About a month and a half ago it started having a weird locking up problem Programs would take a long time to load and would lock up every few seconds I restarted the computer thinking it would fix it and then I couldn t get back into Windows It would get to the loading screen with the green bars going across and would keep doing that for what seemed like forever I had thought the harddrive crapped out or something so I booted into Windows on my alternate drive and was still able to access the main drive perfectly Nothing was corrupt and I was able to move all the files I wanted to the alternate drive On this previous problem I had attempted to boot into safe mode and tried everything I could to get into Windows It would let me in in Safe Mode but it was so unbearably slow that I just said screw it and reformated the drive and fresh installed a new XP After that the drive had some quirks on the first reformat so I did it Interesting Recurring Problem with Windows Install on HD again and all was well The drive was working perfectly with no lock ups freezes or slow windows loading Well like I said that was a month and a half ago Yesterday the same problem came back I didn t immediately recognize the problem and thought I needed to restart Same problem with Windows sticking at load and just going through the loop over and over So I boot up the alternate and of course it works fine I can access everything So this time I am attempting to fix the problem instead of just reformatting over it because it is just going to come back I ran a full chkdsk which took about hours last night When it completed I attempted to boot into Windows I figured I would load it up and leave it to see what happens because I never really let it load longer than about minutes before I went to watch TV for about minutes and when I got back it was in Windows Now I have these issues where I have to start Firefox times before it works like normal When I initiate it I have to kill it in task manager then start it again then kill it again then start it again and it works fine When I open Firefox the first time it acts like it locks up the system I can t open anything however Windows explorer works fine I can open the start menu get to the quick launch task bar and open things on the side bar however if I attempt to open anything it takes about seconds until it reacts and something opens This only happens when I open Firefox for the first time When I open Task Manager and look at the system resources it isn t taking up an unusual amount My CPU isn t spiked anywhere and my RAM usage is fine It is the strangest thing My initial thought was it was the harddrive unless it has a very specific problem with a certain area of the Windows I don t know how it could be at this point I did a full defrag which ended in fragments in the page file but really nothing else It could be the RAM but that doesn t explain Windows running perfectly fine off the alternate drive I ve done a full Malware Bytes scan on both drives and it came back completely clean This problem has me completely stumped I would love to say it is hardware because that is an easy fix but all of the testing I have done says it s not unless there is a problem I don t know about None of it makes sense and I greatly appreciate any effort at attempting to read through this and figuring out a solution nbsp
at about 15 computers I performed monthly patch update + UAC set to the default (was off) + installed Foolish Premium.
Unfortunately for me, the two stations have become the following previously unseen problems:
1) often spontaneously switches numlock (I solved by Numlocker utility)
2) Turn off and turn on the computer 2x happened to me that Windows starts up "Troubleshooting startup and automatic system recovery",
dialogue can be canceled and shut down the system completely and normally booting.
3) sometime lose network shortcuts on desktop (I turned off Automatic troubleshooter for "maintenance" shortcut)
The logs do not contain anything interesting ... No virus by AVG and other online virus scanners (Eset ...)
Anybody got a tip what could it cause? I note that the same configuration on more than 15 additional machines were completed without problems.
Thanks for the tips ...
Hi peoples
For security purposes is it safer to use the on screen keyboard in windows when logging into sites using your password etc.
For instance do keyloggers pickup this or is it hidden.
Just a curious question?
It would help if you have a hardware keylogger but I don't think it would help if you had a much more common software keylogger.

Hi everyone,
I found an interesting test of security products at the following link, just scroll down about 1/4 of the page for a chart that compares products...
The link above has some other interesting articles & info.
Here is a link to a more in depth article & information related to the test results...
without getting into a big discussion or argument here, his test methods are fatally flawed & consequently his results
You cannot use a VM to test the effectiveness of antiviruses
Many of his conclusions are seriously in error
I have problem with a user on a network of computers. He manages to avoid some of the equipment FortiGate settings and certain restrictions. Since it uses different methods, although the user has only user rights, I would like to implement a secondary measure blocking the user with some restrictions I have a FortiGate machine which provides internet within the network computers and I want to introduce a system (Windows / Linux with some software restriction) between the firewall and the user by restricting certain things (Facebookm yahoo, cloud) restrictions for this user. Any suggestion is welcome....
MIght be off topic. If your network is in a business environment, and the user is surfing the net while he should be working, the powers that be in the organization may want to implement the ultimate filter and terminate his employment.http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/616101/security-problem-with-user/

Okay, kind of getting somewhere. When I log on in Safe Mode there's a pop-up bubble on log-in that says "Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile." I've checked the Event Viewer and under the error entry for the log-on attempts it says:
"Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network, and that your network is functioning correctly.
DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified. "
Which is strange because I'm not logging in over a network or anything like that. It would seem like my user account is corrupted. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I would really rather not have to re-install Vista.
Good evening from Graz,
i have quite a strange problem on my personal pc since the last few days. I cannot login to my useraccount(which has a transparent picture at the logon screen since a few days).
I have just one workarround: if i login with my adminaccount and logoff, the userpicture of my privateaccount appears again and the login is possible.
What could this problem be related to?
Nico Müller
Good morning,
solved it. Disabled the admin account, and removed the pw of my useraccount.
Kind a strange problem indeed, but seems to be solved.
Thanks anyway,

I lock computer by pressing WinKey+L or just wait few minutes and it start screensaver and lock itself. The problem exists ONLY when screen saver is running (tried third party screensavers and ones that were built in by Microsoft - no difference).
If ScreenSaver is running and I physically press turn off button on system unit, my computer exit screensaver, bring applications that are running to the front of screen, and lets me to work with them while Vista attempt to shut computer off. To make the matter worse, it almost always bring dialog about waiting for some applications more time or cancel shut down attempt. If I cancel it - i get full access to previously locked session without entering user name or password....
Could it be that this problem just my system specific?(not likely)

While I was modifying the security privileges in windows to delete certain files I somehow managed to set my entire c drive privileges to block Users Now Even though i have administrator access I can not access any data on the main hard drive In fact windows itself can not open and run some of its most basic functions I tried using the cmd command prompt icacls to fix the issue but this failed and no matter how many times tried to change the permissions for anything on the c drive it resulted in quot access denied quot I do not Windows nightmare. security user privilege have a restore point in windows to go back to nor do I have a back up disk to reinstall windows I have absolutly no clue what to do The drive is so blocked Im not even able to run most of the basic startup programs many of the programs that modify settings in the control panel dont even work Like Windows user security privilege nightmare. changing the system local or creating and modifying users
I would highly recommend that you create a restore point before making changes to a file, folder, drive, or registry key permission [COLOR=#3485bd !important][COLOR=#3485bd !important]settings[/COLOR]. This way if you make a mistake and lock (access denied) yourself out of the item, you will be able to do a system restore at boot and select the restore point to undo the mistake. Be sure to not deny permissions to or remove your user account for the file, folder, drive, or registry key. Doing so could prevent you from having access to the item.
Be sure to not deny permissions to the Everyone group for the file, folder, drive, or registry key. This will also include your user account.
Be sure to not deny permissions to or remove TrustedInstaller, LOCAL SERVICE, RESTRICTED, SERVICE, or SYSTEM if listed. Doing so will prevent Windows 7 from having access, and will cause Windows 7 to not run properly afterwards.
Hehe silly me i wish id not done this. heh i guess im screwed.

It?s been a while since Microsoft has shared any new information about its free antimalware offering, Microsoft Security Essentials (codenamed ?Morro?). But the Softies are quietly setting the stage for the product, which is slated to launch before the end of the year.
A quick refresher: MSE is the replacement for Windows Live OneCare and a superset of Windows Defender. Microsoft officials have said it is meant for consumers who are unwilling or unable to pay for security software. A number of Microsoft watchers are expecting the final version of MSE to debut in October, given that it is meant to work on XP, Vista and Windows 7 ? and Windows 7 launches on October 22. More than 400,000 testers have downloaded the test version of MSE, according to Microsoft.

Hey guys, I been trying an looking everywhere for a way to fix this issue without wiping my Virtual Machine and reinstalling. I was able to determine that the issue was caused by IE8 when first opening upon a fresh install and selecting the settings for IE8.
Somehow during this process, IE8 assigns a security risk to my User Files folder on my Desktop. I'm not sure how this even happened as I've done many many installs and have never had this issue.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!!
Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing.
First nice desktop, I have the Amalfi Coast on mine
In any event, start with an antivirus scan
Then download and run malewarebytes.
It's certainly got me baffled.
I'm trying to run defrag on my hard drives, and when ever i click on defrag it opens winamp and winamp shows a file name of "dfrg".
I'm assuming it's just a simple extension error, but i can't seem to find the correct file to associate it with, so i'm opening it up to you guys to help if you can.
Go to Start, All programs, accessories, system tools and disk defragmenter. Right click on the icon and choose properties. Under Target, you should see: %SystemRoot%\system32\dfrg.msc
If you have the shortcut on your desktop or elsewhere, follow the same procedure. If you have anything other than above, that is your answer and you may copy %SystemRoot%\system32\dfrg.msc and paste it in the target then click apply. Should work if that's the case.

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should not have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.
Go to My Computer->Tools/View->Folder Options->View tab and make sure that 'Show hidden files and folders' (or 'Show all files') is enabled. Also make sure that Display the contents of System Folders' is checked. Windows XP's search feature is a little different. When you click on 'All files and folders' on the left pane, click on the 'More advanced options' at the bottom. Make sure that Search system folders, Search hidden files and folders, and Search subfolders are checked.
For the options that you checked/enabled earlier, you may uncheck them after your log is clean. If we ask you to fix a program that you use or want to keep, please post back saying that (we don't know every program that exists, so we may tell you to delete a program that we think is bad to keep).
Turn off system restore by right clicking on My Computer and go to Properties->System Restore and check the box for Turn off System Restore. Click Apply and then OK. Restart your computer. After we are finished with your log file and verified that it's clean, you may turn it back on and create a new restore point.
Download WinsockFix and unzip it. Then double-click on it to run it.
Please download Ad-aware SE and install it if you don't have it already. Make sure it's the newest version and check for any updates before running it. Also go here to get the plug-in for fixing VX2 variants. To run this tool, go into Ad-aware->Add-ons and select VX2 Cleaner. Then click Run Tool and OK to start it. If it's clean, it will say Status System Clean. Otherwise, you will have to click on the Clean button to remove the VX2 infection. Also make sure to customize the settings in Ad-aware for better scan results. Run the scan and fix everything that it finds.
Reboot into Safe Mode (hit F8 key until menu shows up). Make sure to close any open browsers. Go into HijackThis->Config->Misc. Tools->Open process manager. Select the following and click Kill process for each one if they are still listed (they shouldn't be - but double check it):
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe
Uninstall the following via the Add/Remove Panel (Start->(Settings)->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs) if they exist:
Viewpoint (all apps)
WeatherBug - it's adware. If you didn't install this yourself, uninstall it. If you did install it yourself, you may keep it and ignore any fixes/deletions listed below.
WildTangent - This is an online gaming package that is installed by a number of third party applications and even OEMs, ISPs and AIM. The games aspect of this is really rather cool. The being installed without you asking for it isn't cool at all. They collect information about you and your usage. We recommend uninstalling it.
Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

Mostly while making comments on news article on azcentral.com and a local forum. I have no idea what it means. It shows up by itself after i click the post button. has anyone seen this. I did a yahoo search on the code and from the looks of the search there are others who have it as well. I cant make it go away

A Friend of mine changed her password in xp. She forgot it. (drunk when she changed it) All she can do is use the Guest Account. Her cousin set the computer up for her. I have tried every way to retrieve the password. even the admin in safe mode password protected. (cousin in Iraq) She has no clue on what the password is. I have tried multiple ways. even the reg-edit. It won't let me change because Guest Account. and everything is accessed denied. Even download a password cracker but didn't' work because accessed denied. Is their is any way to do this with out having to reload XP. Because she says she has a lot of her college school work on it. I have tried MMC, Runas, and I think about everything else.

Might want to check part #'s as you cannot just mix and match RDRAM.
If any of the dimm's are not filled, memory error beep.Click to expand...
All slots must be filled with either crimm modules or memory modules when using RDRAM
CLR CM stands for clear cmos. It would only boot with the jumper on two of the three pins. The other outside and center will clear cmos. (reset to default)

Hey there everyone. So here is my problem. I bought a new blank hard drive. I installed windows but when I did, I wasn't paying attention and accidentally installed a 32 bit version on my 64 bit system. However it works fine. The real problem is I want to completely wipe the hard drive to a blank state again and install windows 7 64 bit like it originally came with but even when I try DBAN and I type autonuke, it goes to a black screen and stays there. I need to upgrade my system to 64 bit. The reason being is I created a system recovery disc from my windows 7 64bit that was there before, but because the 32 bit is on there it won't recognize my cd.
Just had a customer call me and tell me that her keyboard is not typing the letters that she hits--ie. she types letter f and it prints out number 6. This was just one of the examples she gave me. I have never seen this problem before and was wondering if anyone else had?????? Any ideas????
I'm not sure if this should go into the hard drive section at this point or not but I'll start here I installed a software firewall PC Tools Firewall Plus After the install it called for a reboot so I problem. Interesting obliged Upon rebooting and logging onto my profile I noticed things were running extremely slow--I assumed due to that firewall wanting access for everything After things didn't speed back up to normal I uninstalled the software which called for another restart This time however my second power-to-login-screen bootup took well over minutes Now when I run a program the system lags but the programs open I figured this would fix itself so I went about my business After a while I decided to try another restart Took about minutes again I'm not sure what's causing this or if it would Interesting problem. even be repairable at this point Any ideas Thanks Oh I forgot to mention After the last reboot I went to run firefox to come post here but Windows told me it was corrupted and to run chkdsk I haven't ran it yet but even after a reinstall firefox doesn't want to run

I'm currently sitting at my computer, my headphones plugged into the jack, and i can hear a girl listening to radio and typing on her computer. It was faint, but after i turned the volume to max, i can tell its definitely coming from the computer. I've never encountered such a thing before and i had no idea where to post it. I've checked all my open programs to see if they'res anything playing out of there, but theres nothing. I'm scared of closing the browser cause I'll lose it. She's singing along with the radio, its kinda cute and creepy at the same time
Well then, does anyone know whats going on here?
Try unplugging wires from your PC one at a time... ethernet, sounds cables (Not headphones obviously) and just go down it till the sound stops.

Your favorite person here with another question!
The question is; How come when I am connected to my neighbors WIFI (1 bar signal, 11mbps connection speed) it will randomly drop and not allow me to load anything until it picks back up? It usually only does this when I play Xbox Live Games or download things.
Its unsecured WIFI, and the router is WRT54GS, and solutions I can do on my end to fix this?
hello favorite person
the lower the signal, the more likely your computer will lose connection
You can try to set up a wireless repeater in your house. Maybe its antennas will be better, and boost the signal.

I bought a new psu, suggested to me in this thread: http://forums.techguy.org/games/1037961-little-advice-new-video-card.html (more specifically this psu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020).
I just got the psu, popped into my machine, and....nothing. my mainboard wouldn't even post. I spent the last hour and a half making sure that everything was connected correctly. So i poped my old psu back into my machine and it works fine.
could the problem be that the main board was receiving too much power?
Win7, latest Firefox browser, and for the second time, I can't get to my favorite forum on the web. It appears to be the ONLY forum I can't get to, one where I have been a member in good standing for 11 years. Last time it happened was about 3 years ago. After several months it 'seemed' to fix itself, and I was back on the forum. Any ideas what's going on here? And yes, I am new here. Not a complete noob at computers, but no whiz either.
Forgot to say, I always get "connection was reset" page, no matter how I try to enter. I know the site is working fine for everyone else. I checked.
Can you get there by using Anonymouse?
Can you get there after booting Windows up in Safe mode with networking?

With the name and make of your computer, we can find out how to access the restoration partition, if you have one and restore to factory defaults. You may want to save your stuff first, using Ubuntu.
I've never heard of this program before, but someone posted in alt.comp.anti-virus newsgroup asking what this was.
Poster thinks his kid may have installed this application on his PC. Theres a Red shield with an X in it in system tray.
Its prompting him to let it update his security files. I've told him not to let it do anything until I can find out what it is.
A quick search reveals a "Security Live Protect 5.9" is available for download at various Cracks and Wares sites online.
Can't seem to find any information through legitimate software download sites on it.
Nevermind -- I found out what it is. Looks like it could be some sort of product similar to Spywareblaster, with scanning capabilities. http://live-protect.comhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/95236/security-live-protect-59-prompting-user-to-update-security-files/
Hi,I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002 and have recently been infected by the Live Security Platinum virus (PUM.Disabled.SecurityCenter) and have cleaned it using the method from here.Everything's been going ok actually, except for the fact that now the whole of my Windows Security Center is unusable. I suspect it is due to the system files that were removed or modified during the removal process.Now Windows Update is not even present in the Services list and Windows Defender gives a "failed to initialize" error.It would be great if you could shed some light to me for this problem.Thank you.

I think in this case you're basically screwed. Without a functioning rescue disc for TrueCrypt, your only option other than formatting and reinstalling would be to try brute force cracking the encryption which would probably take years, decades, maybe even lifetimes with current technology.
I'd say let this be a lesson and next time, if you use TrueCrypt again, make sure the rescue disc works straight away. We've all been where you are, so don't feel too bad, just learn from your mistakes.
Occasionally (twice a day on some days) my Internet connection will seem to cut out (WiFi, WPA-TKIP) but downloads (both torrent and through Firefox) will continue to run and I can IM friends through my current connection (if I log out I won't be able to log back on). Usually I can solve this through a reboot but it's a pain.

I have an interesting homegroup issue.
I am moving out of the house where I have set up a network media stream to stream movies to the computers throughout the house. My computer got set as the server for homegroup. Everything worked great. WEll, now I am moving out , so I started a new homegroup on th media center computer, which is wired along with 4 others, They work great.
The problem is I have 2 wireless computers that can't connect. Left old homegroup, joined new one, Put in the password, it sits there for 5+ minutes then says an error has occured in homegroup, No code just cant connect. Whats the deal? why cant they connect? Keep in mind that nothing was changed on these 2 systems from when they were working. Anyone got any ideas? I have to get this solved quickly, before I leave. Thanx in advance.
What version of Windows 7 (Starter, Home Premium, etc.) on your computer and on the media center computer?
Are the problem PCs able to join the new Homegroup if they are connected by ethernet?
I'm not sure where to go to find some help with this problem so this is a final resort. I have worldnet ISP and a 56k modem. Recently i have been connecting at 50.6kbps (or so the isp says) but my download and browsing rate is somewhere around 16-100 bytes/second. Unbearably slow and my download usually timesout before it gets anywhere. I've removed all spyware and adware from the computer, run many virus scans, and cleaned the registry. I also have contacted my ISP's help line but they haven't been able to give me any information and told me it may be related to spyware. If anyone has any epxeriences or other ideas, please share. Thank you
download, update and run these . . they will take out most spyware . . let us know if there is no improvement.

My own site has a 'go to top of page button' in all of the pages. It works in Firefox and other browsers. Perhaps you could look at the source code in one or two of the pages and see why the code in your page may not be working.
The relevant bit of code is at the bottom of the page starting with 'a href'. Note how it references a line at the top of the page just underneath the 'body' tag. You could maybe copy the two bits of code and adapt it to your own pages.

The Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard in your computer has 4 slots and supports a maximum of 8 GB(2 GB X 4) of RAM.
It uses 240-pin DDR2 PC2-6400(DDR2-800 MHz), 1.8 volt, CL=6, unbuffered, non-ECC modules.
If your computer is running a 32-bit version of Windows, it doesn't need more than 4 GB of RAM.
If it currently has 4 - 1 GB DDR2-800 MHz modules in it, that's all it needs.
If none of those modules are damaged and they're fully seated in their slots, you shouldn't be having an issue with them.
I have a problem with opening my website www.optinav.pl using Internet Explorer. The most interesting is that problem you can observe only on Vista system when you using IE. On Firefox, Chrome etc. everything is OK.
On IE with XP is OK as well... why?
I suppose the problem is on my server in particular with firewall (Cisco) ... but what is wrong?
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Titancom,
You don't say if it's a laptop or desktop - But if its a desktop have you checked the RTC battery. Have seen some strange things over the years with batteries which are loose or almost failing.
Other thing could be a "brown out" ie Voltage sag on the supply which is occasional at the "home" location
just throwing out ideas but the loss of BIOS settings would suggest the first scenario and the general hang could be supply voltage dips
Hello Friends, I have an event that I would like to learn more about and Microsoft Technet nor google has helped me in this one. Event ID: 4228 Source: TCPIP Message: TCP/IP has chosen to restrict the scale factor due to a network condition.

I dont know the rules of this forum or nething and I no this has already been posted but im gonna ask neway. On my grandmas computer, I created a 2nd account and made it the admin account. At some point, this account somehow became a standard account and now there is no admin. Now whenever I try 2 do nething, it asks for the admin password but the area where you would enter the password and the OK key are greyed out. ive tryed a few things I thaut of and a few things from other sites including starting in safe mode and reinstalling vista completely, of course reinstalling didnt work because it needs permission to run. Ive posted on like 5 forums and asked all my friends and no1 has a clue how to fix this or even how its posible so if ne1 has ne idea wat 2 do, id greatly appriciate the help
If somehow the last/only admin account has been deleted when you boot into safe mode it should boot to the administrator account.
if this is unsuccessful there are other methods, some available on the web, which I cannot discuss on the forum due to the security implications.
I have a very interesting partition problem and I challenge anyone to help me fix it. I installed Windows 7 on my PC (500GB hard disk) and once I got everything setup I partitioned my disk to make a small 24GB partition to run Windows Vista. I made the partition and ran the Windows Vista installer (inside Windows 7) and it said it couldn't install Windows Vista on the disk selected (the 24 GB partition) because it wasn't in NTFS file system format. I went beck and checked to see that the partition was in NTFS format but I reformatted anyway into NTFS. I ran the installer and again it said the selected partition was not in NTFS format. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
To start 24 gigs isnt much for vista..it will grow after the install{the winsx folder}this happens from time to time after driver installs or new hardware.
make it 30 gigs.
Boot the vista dvd and install that way...dont try to install while booted into 7.
You may wreck your boot menu..as vista should have went on first then 7..you may only have vista showing as boot option on the boot menu.
There are various ways to fix it but this tool here is the easiest and a nice addition to the toolbox

I ve purchased a USB adapter that connects to a cordless phone It is very similar to the RJ internet VOIP phone Adapter It basically routs a signal from a cordless phone to the computer through the headphone and mic ports as well as a USB slot While using the phone near the computer the volume control works well and the peripheral behaves perfectly The problem is when one wants to wander away from the computer with the cordless phone The person on the other end experiences two very interesting problems the first is that the volume they can hear from the person talking decreases extremely quickly which can be countered by turning up the volume on the computer To a point and the problem interesting An hardware second is that small noises very far away from the phone are picked up extremely loudly In other words while the person could yell into the phone and you couldn t hear them you can literally An interesting hardware problem hear a clock ticking from a different room I ve tested multiple phones and have determined that they are not the problem and the computer s volume control does very little to help with the second problem To me it seems as if the adapter itself is mixing up which sound signals it is deciding to amplify and which to reproduce quietly Any insight as to what could be done about this types of drivers other adapters etc would be extremely appreciated Thank you in advance nbsp
It sounds to me like one or both of the devices has automatic gain (volume) control. When you manually boost the PC's volume the AGC fights to compensate and maintain what IT thinks is the correct level.
When there is no human input the sensitivity is UP and you hear the ticking clock. BUT as soon as a relatively high level sound (voice) comes in the AGC attenuates the signal DOWN.
Check this out in any manual/specs you have. If the AGC can be shut off, try that.

Hi and Welcome to TSF
Please move hijackthis to the root of C:\ and NOT in a temp folder!!
Before attacking an adware/spyware problem with hijackthis make sure you have already run ad-aware SE with VX2 add-on cleaner, Spybot Search & Destroy (with updated database) and CWShredder as these programs will clean a lot of the crap out first. All links to programs are in my signature. Ok..on to the log?..
Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab and make sure that Show hidden files and folders is enabled. Also make sure that the System Files and Folders are showing/visible also. Turn off system restore by right clicking on My Computer and go to Properties->System Restore and check the box for Turn off System Restore.
Reboot into Safe Mode (hit F8 key until menu shows up). Make sure to close any open browsers. Open add/remove programs and remove MessengerPlus3
MessengerPlus3 - Considered spyware/adware my most security sites in the way it collects info and use it!
Check and fix the following in HijackThis if they still exist (make sure you do not miss an entry)

I have a 3 sheets of an inventory nature. Sheet 1 is an iventory off all items with prices of each vendor for the product, with two colums that pick the cheapest price and the vendor of the cheapest product.
Sheet 2 and 3 are individual vendor order forms. e.g. office max and staples.
Sheet one looks like this:
Inventory vendor1 vendor2 best price best vendor
batteries9v $2 $1.5 $1.5 vendor2
Envelopes $5 $10 $5 vendor1
I need to find the formula to tell the info to import the batteries9v to drop into the vendor2 order sheet and the envelopes to drop into the vendor1 order sheet.
Ok..this I can do!...BUT, how do I say: IF vendor2 is the best price, show batteries9v in row 1 on the vendor2 order sheet, IF it is not vendor2, then look for the next line down and keep searching down till you get vendor2.
Is this clear or not? Anyway can someone help please.

I have a aiw 9600 xt video card. This card is about a year and a half odl. When I try to install my ati drivers from the cd furnished by ati, the setup page is in some language that I can not read. I think that it is russian or some Cyrillic writting. This started about 4 months ago. I have tried several times to load this page in english and from time to time I will get a couple of words in english, but not the entire page. I have tried to download all of ati's drivers on line and that is a nightmare. I am unable to find an ati e-mail site to ask them about this problem. Through trial and error I finally get everything loaded. Does anyone have any suggestions. I think that this will be my last ati video card.
thats one of the reason why i choose nVidia!
