Re: possibly short circuit occurring... might be problem with keyboard itself (that should be a CRU) or it could be something located directly under the keyboard. | |
Re: how are you doing the recovery? for best results, take the hard drive out and hook it up to another computer via a usb-sata/ide cable. then run recuva on it. | |
Re: do you have DOSbox on your mac? but that's irrelevant to the fix. after you download a zip file, navigate to it in finder. right click on it, select 'get info'. 2/3 of the way down it says 'open with'. select the application you want to use (assuming you have … | |
Re: right on, zelkea. i'll just add that, once you access the bios, turn off the splash screen and turn off 'quick boot'. that first will do the obvious, while the second will run a full POST *and* give you more time to access the BIOS if you want to. | |
Re: check asus's website or google to see what a single beep means. that beep you hear is a 'beep code'. it can mean different things depending on if it's a long or short beep (which is kind of subjective unless you know what you're listening for). considering that you're having … | |
Re: cable length wouldn't be the issue. have you tried the diaply setup wizard? go to system preferences - displays. try changing refresh rate, resolution, all that fun stuff. | |
Re: that first connection shoumd probably be your LAN connection, but you didnt list it as eth0 like one would expect... and it doesnt have an IP address. check your network manager, make sure it's set up appropriately... that is, for dhcp/manual... also dns servers and appropriate subnet mask. you mentioned … | |
Re: it it's a win7 upgrade DVD, you would need to install vista then do the upgrade | |
Re: 1) you can't (legally). Buy it from an apple store or apple authorized reseller for $29. It's an entire operating system for less than $30... literally can't beat it without stealing. 2) That is technically and generally illegal. Look somewhere else for that instructional. 3) There's a windows utility called … | |
Re: i would try booting to some bootable media... linux liveCD is always my first choice in that regard. see if the issues persist with video if nothing else. also google your stop error (all 5 of those hex numbers in the same query)... im on a mobile device so it … | |
Re: look up "internet connection sharing" for whichever version of windows is on the computer. you'll specifically want to look up wireless connection sharing. it's overally pretty easy. | |
Re: i'd look up the beep codes online for your model of computer. the pattern of beeps tells you what the problem is. additionally, the display *should* work to some extent. is the monitor connected through VGA or DVI (or HDMI for that matter) ? what model of computer is this? | |
Re: i actually just ran into a problem similar to this with my brother's laptop. one possible fix is going into the BIOS and changing the hard drive's mode to IDE. Forgive me, i forget exactly which setting it was... something to do with AHCI... | |
Re: it could be a hardware problem. how do you feel about looking up online how to open up the case and checking it out in action? | |
Re: +1 to renan. this is why frequent backups, frequent virus scans, and intelligent web browsing are necessary. don't be too attached to your current OS install... you should always be willing to reformat your HDD and reinstall. destruction and reconstruction are always faster and more satisfying than repair. | |
Re: reset your modem. they save the MAC address of the device they're connected to, so whenever you change that device, it needs to be reset. | |
Re: you may have to run a channel auto-programming function, similar to actual TV's. this is a shot in the dark, but that's all i've got. have you verified that the cable is good by hooking a tv up to it? | |
Re: how far do you get? are you able to see what you want to access, but are unable to access them? what error message do you get (f any) ? | |
Re: yep! determine your computer's ip address by going to the command prompt and typing ipconfig ... you'll get an ip or ipv4 address... and then enter that address into the address bar of the other devices' browser. like magic. here's something to blow your mind... all websites are exactly like … | |
Re: assuming that you conducted an exhaustive search online for the drivers, then it's possible that the network adapter isn't compatible with vista for some reason. was it working with win7? looking on toshiba's site, it looks like it only shipped with 64-bit windows 7. do you have windows xp available … | |
Re: reaching far back here... but i think the boot record is being pointed to wherever the GRUB was. i'd start by booting with a win98 boot disk to the DOS prompt (i use usb floppy drive), then using fixboot and/or fixmbr. | |
Re: i don't know how professional you'd consider me, but my first step in this would be to check and see how long packets take end-to-end. also test out a couple different solutions... it shouldn't be difficult to implement them for a single testbed. that's just my opinion as a single-user … | |
Re: there's a utility called 'hotspot shield' that you can install which will encrypt your traffic and send it to a server, basically a proxy, which will then interact with the internet. it's pretty cool and it's free. there are countless other solutions available for this, but that's the easiest that … | |
Re: [url]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1649084[/url] that looks like it might be a similar issue. resolution might be similar. that is a canon printer they're talking about though, so don't try the *exact* same thing, of course... :-P | |
Re: i'm not really into using programs to kill viruses, so i'll offer a different perspective. how do you know it's a virus? maybe the service that the svchost wants to run is necessary for you. svchost, as you should know, is a generic name for the process that shows up … | |
Re: starting from the bottom: "loaded kexts" = "loaded kernel extensions". that lets the reader nkow what's loaded, to maybe isolate the problem or find a common thread among many people reporting the same issue "BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task" = that looks to be the thread(part of … | |
Re: it's perfectly normal. you probably changed some settings that made windows want to restart the explorer. | |
Re: depends on if it's the upgrade or the original install disk. if it's the upgrade, as it seems to be, you need the appropriate OS (98 or 98SE... check documentation for the proper upgrade route) already installed. | |
Re: sounds like your BIOS might only be wanting to boot from the DVD drive... or your hard drive might have failed and it can't boot from naything but the DVD drive. first think you'd want to do is go into your bios and disable booting from the DVD drive. should … | |
| |
Re: i would try checking the page source code to see if that's what's blurring the text. i mean, it most likely is what's causing it... and then you could contact the administrators of the page to see if they're doing that. if it's not... well i don't really know what … | |
Re: hey, i actually do tech support for fios. won't charge you for this one. the driver you installed for your wireless card (usually comes on the CD with the wireless card)... is it for vista? have you restarted the computer? click start -> right click 'computer', click 'hardware', click 'device … | |
Re: or use msinfo32 from the run dialog box. or go to start -> my computer (right click) -> properties ... and that'll show you some abbreviated system info. | |
Re: sounds like the bios is taking a long time to make the PCI video card start running, and then the monitor takes a long time to start running after signal starts being sent to it. i would start by turning 'quick boot' off in the bios (if it's not already … | |
Re: i googled those stop errors and got some fun info. exact search terms were "(address) stop error" and "(address) address". the (address) = 0x7e, 0x50, 0x19 one at a time | |
Re: i think the bigger question here is - why do you want to *avoid* using a router or switch? their function exactly fulfills your need. if we got an answer to that we might be able to help more. | |
Re: if you want to compare, look at their 1) throughput, 2) seek time, and 3) access time. If you're concerned with speed... get 2 7200 RPM drives and hook them up in raid 1. Or get 4 and hook them up in Raid 10 (for a bigger drive). IMO, spending … | |
Re: vista has compatibility mode for windows xp. i would try that first (just google if you don't know what i'm talking about). another, slightly more involved solution, would be to partition your hard drive (about 20 GB of it) and install xp on the new partition; at startup, you could … | |
So i set up a L2TP/ipsec VPN server on my mac running 10.6.x. I can connect to the VPN from my LAN, but not from outside of it. This is from my HTC evo. I set up a VPN server using a virtual machine of 10.6.x Server, with the same … | |
Re: maybe issue with the display. can you hook up an external monitor? do you hear the hard drive clicking and working? do you have remote desktop or VNC on the computer to try to remote in? | |
Re: what are you curious about? i've used it... what questions do you have? it's similar to msinfo32, as i recall... if you're just curious in general as to what all of that stuff *is*... you might want to take a couple weeks and a book on computer hardware, and learn … | |
Re: haha! that's what draws people in, the thought that by getting a mac you're entering a whole new world. here's some info: Cost of (Time Capsule) = Cost of (Hard Drive) x 4 counterintuitively to that equation, though... Time Capsule = Hard Drive Think about other apple products... they're the … | |
Re: you might be better served looking for support from that specific OS's website. if it's windows, the knowledgebase is a beautiful thing. | |
Re: sure you're putting the line into the right jack? other than that, your computer might be on mute... the mac might be playing sound through the speakers, but as soon as you put headphones in, it goes to the last setting it has for headphones. try rebooting your computer with … | |
Re: the boot loader lets you choose what to start up. the options will be clear when you see them. it's really quite beautiful. [url]https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot[/url] | |
Re: link for some info [url]http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1138060.htm[/url] start -> run -> msconfig -> 'boot' tab. manipulate entries from there. that took me all of 3 seconds of googling. come on! the little search bar in your browser is your friend. | |
Re: sounds like textbook hard drive failure. i would try booting to a disk (my preference is the simple win98 boot disk) and doing a fixmbr and fixboot, then try booting again. there are a couple other commands like that to try too, but those are the ones i remember off … | |
Re: home or business network? and what sort of 'networking server' are you looking for? cuz you know, you can create a network just by connecting computers together. so more specifically... what capabilities do you want? | |
Re: i agree, ps2 keyboard would probably let you use the function keys. the joys of old technology! |
The End.
