I am having same problem as everyone else. I think I'm going to try Allen's Remo recovery suggestion, but I was wondering one other thing. If a jpg is corrupted, does it slow down an entire drive, or...
So would that include "History" files too?
I don't have any bookmarks.
Fairly soon I will have a friend give me an 80 gig hard-drive--replacing the dinasour 20gig HD I currently have. I am in need of more HD space for additional stuff I'm using.
I was instructed to...
I understand changing date method. But if I do the latter, I would lose all my links/data? Yes? Does disc space have anything to do with not being able to access links from 5 weeks ago?
I think I forgot to mention I'm using XP. None of the troubleshooting options suggested (other than category view) were in my control panel. I have 11 GB of hard drive space free. Is that a part of...
I'm using IE8. I did not see what the updates were since it did it automatically. I would assume they were security updates--the usual basic stuff. A friend told me on the phone that it could have...
On left side of screen I have my favorites window for easy access to various site. I utilize history tab frequently for stuff I accessed a day or so ago, or previous week.
But when I click on...
While a friend is trying to DL Yahoo Messenger for her job(likely to talk with boss), she tried to DL it several times on Win7(laptop) and XP(desktop) and gets "installation unsuccessful" message....
I just tried this and it didn't work. It also contains an annoying pop up that keeps asking/claiming you need to scan your PC. NOT.
I will keep looking for codec file that will allow me to play my...
I sure hope the FBI actually does it's job and finds the thugs that are doing this. I'll bet ya they are not even in the U.S. Seems this is a federal offense last time I checked.
I was given this machine running on XP from a doctors office--based on help from a friend. This machine was donated to me because my Vista machine MB failed. I hate to say my living situation here,...
Thanks for your response. I followed directions, but it was an "overlay" not a street view--which was what I was trying to do. I thought there was something that asks where you want to place...
I know this may not be a good place to ask, but I am hoping it is.
I am trying to add photos to google earth (for street view). I believe I used panorima (or whatever its called) and it won't...
Thank you for responding to my panicked post. Ya know, I had a funny feeling about this popup, or fake warning. But I was panicked because I thought it was a legit warning. And yes, I do remember...
Well I have Essentials. I don't remember if I've ran it for this. I've been led to believe that it is a rootkit issue. As you can see in above post I ran TDSS in safe mode and came up with...
Thank you for your assistance. I ran TDSS killer--in safe mode--and it said I had no infections. So I guess I can breath easy now. But I am still wondering about google. I would only assume at this...
Okay, I just ran this program(gmer) and apparently something doesn't jive with this system. It was doing ok until I walked away for a few. When I came back, I had this blue screen warning. It said...
I also wanted to mention that my system is running slow. But google says (at top of page) I may not have access to internet if I don't address problem. I believe it implies something with a "rootkit"...
When entering something in google, there was a box at top of page that said "it appears your computer is infected". Google offered several options to sites I should check, of which I went to...
I installed Malwarebytes due to my concern over a potential threat. I think it was that news bit about a virus blocking you from getting online. Nonetheless, someone here suggested I DL MWB--which I...
Just wanted to let you know that shutting off Essentials did the trick. I can update Malwarebytes, and the pesky bug that MWB was warning me about is apparently gone...at least for the moment. I plan...
I just posted a question here beacuse I was told I needed to have Malwarebytes. I have Essentials and did a full scan on an apparent Hijack concern/issue and it came up clean. I was told by a tech...
First I would like to alert people to website 213.109.67.168 and 213.109.72.100.
Although the 168 address seems to be more noticable, both show in MalwareBytes warning. I checked this and it...
I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but I have never defragged my flash drive. When I do the hard-drive, the additional drives show up in the window.
So I am wondering if it is safe...
I am running a somewhat old XP machine that was donated to me. Allow me to explain.
I used to have a HP machine that ran VIsta--hense my user ID. That machine died :crybaby: due to the...
I don't see boot tab on mine. It say boot.ini But nothing about number of cores. And I'm running XP. I'd be interested if someone could help so I don't screw this up.
Occasionally when I go to a website I will get a dropdown bar that says: "Pluggins required." I'm guessing it is for video. Is this okay?
I'm sure you have seen this too. I think it said that I...
I was looking for the instruction/user guide for this phone--which is marketed to China for EX128...i.e it has a chat app that is popular in China called QQ. It has English option, but phone is...
I'm still hoping to run into someone who knows/may know how to get instructions for Motorola-ex128 phone (Hong Kong--because phone was purchased in China). Still have no idea what "big 5" or "GB2312"...
Could you rewrite the instructions on #4 please. A bit confusing.
Quite frankly, I have a love-hate relationship with a wireless--as it always seems to be a problem. When I was in China, I had to rely on a wireless and it was frustrating--always cutting off for an...
Okay gang.
I just ran across a file in my recovered zip files. It is labeled as history.dat from my Firefox folder. I attempted to open it and popup said, "these files are used with the operating...
Well that was a poor choice of words on my part. I should not have implied "rebuilding" the entire system. I should have said getting the data to work on this XP machine--knowing that Vista and XP...
My friends wife uses his USB drives to recharge her electronic cigettete batteries. It plugs into any USB port. But now when a flash drive is plugged in containing data files, it won't read them (OS...
I'm reposting this because I have not gotten hits on this. I am hoping that I can get some feedback from someone who has experience in this area. Thank you.
Its nice to be back to this family....
Its nice to be back to this family. One of the few places I know to go for help.
Well, I have somewhat good news as per my drama of having my Vista machine die on me--after the tech dude fried his...
Forget what I posted earlyer. Just learned that system can't be repaired. I will have to get a new machine--but data can apparently saved. And for someone in need of a job, it just keeps getting...
Okay. I will call the guy in the morning and get the details. I will do a serch now and see what I can find that I need to know to post. Thank you for responding.
Thank you for your reply.
All I remember was it was a AMD2 socket--according to spec's check the guy did in search of proper replacement. I believe it had 2gigs of memory (?) as it was originally...
I hope someone is in Nor-Cal who can help me.
After I came back from China--and after getting my machine out of a storage unit, I was told that the motherboard was failing because system would...
But reformatting will delete all of the data currently saved. Right?
I'm not sure what the error code says--off memory--but in one particular folder I created I believe its says something to the effect that the directory is "full" or folder. This is for a 2gig flash...
Okay, I hope this doesn't sound to kooky, but I have been recently keeping track of web links in my history folder with IE7(?). Well, Explorer. I generally manually delete in the event I no longer...
Well, I forgot to mention its an optical mouse. Sorry for the brain far*.
Ok, I just blew it out and it still seems to be wiggining out on me. I thought that I was in need of update or something....
Not sure where to post this. I now see other related problems and will look them over. But generally, if I'm online, or especially doing something on Photoshop, the mouse just occasionally wiggles...
Ok, here is the story which addressed on another thread.
I have a problem with malware-bytes. I uninstalled and re-installed it from a provided link. I still get same prob as before where it gives...
Okay, There is another problem. I did download after uninstalling old version. I still get same message as before--some numbers and "no address found".
I have no clue what is going on here....
I am a bit confused. In another thread the discussion is that this is a virus and it has hijacked the browser. I'm leaning toward that premise myself--as it redirects you to some ad-based webpage...
Yeah..I tend to agree with you. I am staying with friend temporarly and he keeps his system running continously--night and day. In the past, I have always shut it down out of concern for the hard...
I don't have the disc. It was issued to me long ago by tech-repair outfit in another city.
