 | My Compaq Armada M700 laptop has been giving me an error message that says "103 Charge Circuit Failure" right after the "bootup" message, before Windows starts, and the battery is not charging (right now it's stuck at 88%). I Googled around and most of the messages I found said that … |
| | I have a Compaq Armada M700 laptop (Windows XP) with one usb port in the back of the computer. If I plug my external HDD (Toshiba 160 gig) into it directly, it will work perfectly fine, no problems. However, I also have a Wacom tablet which I'd like to be …  |
| | I just got a seven-port USB hub that I'd ordered from eBay in the mail today, and just tried it out with my external HDD but the external was not recognised through the hub. The blue light on the HDD comes on but the disc does not spin and just …  |
| | I've had my laptop since June or July of 2008 and realised I've never posted a HJT log anywhere, nor even downloaded it until tonight, so here's my log. Anything I should get rid of? I'm trying to make my laptop run faster (I just did a clean-up and defrag …  |
| | While shutting down my laptop before going to bed last night (technically this morning, heh), after I had hit Start then Shut Down, before the window (or whatever it's called) came up asking if I wanted to restart, shut down, or stand by, my monitor started flickering black, then it … |
| | Okay, so I have WMP10 and I tried WMP11 some years ago and absolutely hated it, the reason being was that editing media info in 10 was about seventeen billion times easier (in fact I don't think I ever could figure out how to edit info in 11). But I … |
| | I'm not entirely sure if "window" is even the right term. Okay, here's the deal. I finally figured out earlier how to get my laptop to connect to the router and got online wirelessly. I started feeling a little sick (too much pie) so I closed my laptop to put … |
| | Last night I bought a 160-gig Toshiba external hard drive at Circuit City for backing up my current files and for storage of future downloads. When I plug it in, I get a message that says something to the effect of "this device has exceeded the power limits of its … |
| | I bought the laptop second hand and it worked perfectly fine for two months--then one day when I was taking it out of the closet I keep it in at night, I accidentally bumped the corner of it on the door frame. The monitor had never acted up before then … |
| | I recently bought a used Compaq Armada M700 with Windows XP because the main computer turned off by itself one day and won't turn back on (we're pretty sure it's the power source). Anyway, for the most part it works perfectly fine, but sometimes if I'm listening to music or … |
| | I downloaded this thing and unzipped it, and clicked Setup, but it keeps saying "Insert Disk" ... does that mean I just have to insert any old 3 1/2 or do I need a special disk which I in all likelihood don't have? |
| | I seriously cannot get rid of this damn thing. I've tried KillBox-ing it, I tried Ewido, I tried SpyBot Search and Destroy, I tried SpywareDoctor, I deleted its prefetch files, I did a Hijack This and deleted it from there, but it's still apparently hiding out somewhere on my computer …  |
| | My cat was just in the computer room with me and he jumped on the keyboard, and suddenly my browser closed and I was logged out! Well, not "logged out" exactly, it was like I'd clicked "Switch User" - my browser and even my Last.fm radio was still running, but …  |
| | I don't know if this is the same type of virus as last time, as it was my mom who first encountered it and not me. Right now the Avast is turned off so the pop-ups won't come up. Here's the HJT log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at … |
| | I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this; feel free to fling as necessary. I have a TON of stuff running in my Windows Task Manager (the little box that comes up when ctrl-alt-delete is pressed). What can I safely close out of without harming my computer … |
| | We've recently upgraded from Netscape 7.1 to version 8.1. I've gotten used to it and like it fine, except for the fact that 7.1 saved recently visited sites in the pull-down menu below the URL bar for as long as I wanted (i.e. I had to manually select "Clear location … |
| | Yesterday and Sunday we kept getting messages on our computer, about every, oh, half a second, "There are too many identical emails in the appointed time" or something similar. There was also a message from Avast but I can't remember what that one said, something about the connection. My mom … |
The End.
