did you try . start ,cmd,[might need to right click on cmd before opening it nd choose run as administrator ] type in "sfc /scannow " without the "
and a space between c and /

cant read all you posted ,but did you try a system restore back a few days/weeks before the problem ,i have had that type of update a few time myself just recently ,and let it got for over an hr till it was done installing,never interrupt a windows update .

There's no way to get it off the internet. The only way you could retrieve a windows key off your computer is if you go into your computer properties or flip the the laptop upside down and there should be a windows key there for you. I'm not sure if that will be the version of windows you're looking for.

poster bought key and downloaded the win7 iso file from the internet ,software for students , there will be no key for it on the bottom of the laptop for it

why not remove the virus before you reinstall ,

when i start the computer mother board lights on but cpu cooler fan not working its stopped and heat sink is so hot what can i do??????

don't run it that hot anymore ,replace the fan before you ever turn it on again ,you may have all ready damaged the CPU

ok, then i guess its time to reinstall the motherboard chipset drivers from the makers website as suggested on other site

I posted all of my info on another forum as well, but I still have no solution.
Here

try the windowsfix link posted on other site i was going to suggest it next post.and my opinion if that don't work ,then the drive is busted

:)

oops.missed that

yeah ,manual mentions duel bios ,but didn't see and info on it ,its quite possible that something is dead on the board causing it to not boot ,do have a keyboard hooked up ,if so do the lights on KB flash /light up

What in the world? Considering SSD's use SATA connectors just like HDDs, yes they will.

I'm currently running a 60GB SSD for the operating system (and FIFA 11!) and use my 1TB secondary drive to store my videos, pictures, and other files (as well as all my applications!)

they only posted to spam the links in there signature ,just ignore there ramble

CTCRY 4DQFCXEJC92V SCSI CdRom Device - no idea

delete it, and reboot to see if it changes to correct name

what version of windows are you using .
it should work without a driver from Toshiba ,windows would use generic driver ,go to device manager and see if its listed, maybe if its listed it has a red x or !,if so right click on and uninstall it ,then reboot computer windows should reinstall driver ,give it a try see what happens ,post back results

Don't see anything about duel bios in manual .check attachment for pin location

Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing the CMOS values.
• After clearing the CMOS values and before turning on your computer, be sure to remove the jumper cap from the jumper. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard.
• After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select Load Optimized
Defaults) or manually configure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS configurations).

its very important in how the memory is install in this board ,like most boards i guess ,this is copy paste from the boards manual ..

====================
Due to chipset limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual or 3 Channel mode.
Dual Channel--
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, be sure to install them in the DDR3_1 and DDR3_4 or DDR3_1 and DDR3_2 sockets.
3 Channel--
1. 3 Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one or two DDR3 memory modules are installed.
2. When enabling 3 Channel mode with three or four modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. When enabling 3 Channel mode with three memory modules, be sure to install them in the DDR3_1, DDR3_2 and DDR3_4 sockets.
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:
• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest memory support list.)
• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power …

This nightmare is easy to fix. Go to cnet and download malwarebytes. Do a full system scan (may take up to 30 mins) and it'll detect and remove it with a few clicks of your mouse. Restart and you're done.

hi, all threads contain when created dates ,this one you posted to is really in computer years

this is copy paste from another site ,but git it a try i used-to use one on a troubled computer i once had ,any questions just ask.

---------------
Instead of going all the way, clicking Start>Turn Off Computer and
selecting Shutdown or Restart, create their icons on your desktop :

create a SHUTDOWN ICON like this :
Right click on an empty area on your desktop.
Select New>Shortcut.
In the first box of the Create Shortcut Wizard, type , Shutdown -s -t 00
Click Next.
Name the shortcut : Shutdown , and click Finish.
Then select an appropriate icon for it !

not sure MSE makes in high up in many of the best free lists[ i use but i only go to help forum 90% of the tie ] Avast[ used it a few yrs ago ] usually make the top of the free list .

top 10 with reviews .

with a keyboard attached,power up, if there were power going through the board the lights on the keyboard will light up or flash,no lights, no power going through the board.

it is really hard to diagnose, i see a motherboard do the same thing and it was caused by a dvi to avg adapter being used to connect video to monitor, i know you don't have video card connected[are you using onboard video to see what if anything comes up on the monitor ] ,just saying it could be anything

boot computer to the setup/bios ,set dvd/cd drive to last boot device ,disable usb bood device if its there .,setup a bios password [don't forget ],this will keep him out i think

hi ,it is a had one to troubleshoot ,does the cpu show on this list .its likely not staying on long enough to generate any heat
http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=3265

is the psu new an powerful enough for the board .

and the ram ,take not of the info on the bottom about modes and slots they should be in , you likely seen all this already but in case not , good luck

I have no idea.

I bought the Desktop from Ebay, it's quite an old Acer. The sound never worked since i recieved it.

hi somewhere on the tower there should be a model # what is it exactly

actually works once i figure the toolbar,lol

I cannot install another browser on this computer. I need to be able to upload files using Internet Explorer 9.

This problem is happening in many different websites.

I did a virus scan on the computer, and no issues were found.

I have tried uploading a very small file less than 25MB and it still did not work.

I used to be able to upload files to all different kinds of websites.

25 meg is a very big .txt file isn't it ,can you tell us what sites you are having problems with what type of file ,if specific types ,, are they file storage sites,torrent sites ,your own sites you are managing perhaps .

that why it is never recommended to use one .

having said that did you try running it again and see if it can reverse the changes ,they sometime do a backup before the changes were made ,if not assuming you are using win7 you could try booting to boot up repair ,and doing a restore back a few days before you ran the program ,see option 2 on this link .
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html?filter

its a risk for sure ,i have taken the risk many time ,using my own computer to test other peoples cpu ,that i knew were the same type as mine ,and only fried my own mothereboard once ,lol
,and if it works out .you won't even notice the 200mHz in my opion

i say go for the one that takes the 8 gig ram.
you will need to use 64 bit OS to take advantage of the full 8 gig .
when you change you board ,your acer windows recovery dvd[if thats what you plan on using ] will likely not work

try making the icon view larger if you don't allready have it set to large

when i have it smaller i get the symbol,set to larger i get the front page .

What happen to the link in your signature, Caperjack?

think i was going to change it, and removed it, and forgot to put other one in i guess ,i cant remember what it was, or what i was going to add

malwarebytes will work and give good results, as a fee tool .the suggestion to buy is the full one that will offer real time malware protection.you computer is clean ,like said before it was just cookie, most cookies are ok ,

a system restore is not an effective way to get rid of spyware/malware/trojans ,most of the damage they do will remain ,so he was right .
if you want to check your computer for spyware ,download and run malwarebytes fix any thing it finds ,it will create a log ,you can copy paste it here .download below
http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/download/faf2260570a753040d06fba3b4ddae95/

no need to remove spyware blaster as it does not run in real time ,it just adds about 14000[keep it updated ] web address to IE browsers security section so IE doesnt get redirected to the known bad sites ,i have been using it for years now ,never any issue with it .
in my opinion mcafee is ok to leave on computer ,but would never buy it when there just as good [or better ] free ones

try splitting the music file into 2 or 3 folders and adding 1 folder at a time

@caperjack
i know that

im sure you do,as most of us know about Avast ,i was just posting it as added info to the thread

how to use msconfig: first go to start menu and and click on run /or u can use shortcut command winkey+r run prompt will poped up now type msconfig and hit enter , now this is system configuration window , this is very powerfull , now go to tool tab and scroll down and use "system restore " option this will restore ur sustem to an earlier date where it was perfect.

thanks for that ,I never looked closely in the tool section all these yrs i guess ..

just want to say that some trojans/viruses will delete your restore points ,so this will not always work !

hello friend , first don't worry about this cookie, these are used for tracking Ur behavior on the net , now come to the point , first try to restore Ur system using msconfig command , and if restore doesn't work , try to uninstall Ur all antivirus/ spyware program and then install a avast (available free for trial mode but full functional) now schedule this for boot time scan , surly this will work for you.[/QUOT

how does msconfig coommand restore your system ,i have never used it for that ,

learn something new evry day ,now it makes me wonder was it always there ,if you go to tools in msconfig .you can run commands there for lots of windows features.

edit : just checked in winxp mode ,and the tools section is there also so i guess i just missed it all these yrs

how does msconfig coommand restore your system ,i have never used it for that ,

harddrive problems can cause this ,excess heat,malware/spyware ,and many more thing .
run a chkdsk /f on the drive first .
==============================
Run CHKDSK to check for disk errors

go to start .in the search type in cmd, right click on the cmd and choose run ass admin/

then type the following text, and then press Enter:
chkdsk /f

it will say something about windows being in use , type in Y to run chkdsk next time windows restarts, then restart windows

give this a try ,open wmp right click on the top toolbar ,Go to Tools - Advanced - click Restore Media Library, it will say something about deleting /say yes

I am new here and have a question and not sure where to post it. I found this because I was doing a serch for "AppData/Roming/Microsoft/Windows can't get rid of this tracking cookie what do I do?" I am in a dilemma and don't know what to do. I am not very computer savy. I need to say that up front, now here is my story. I have a new Dell computer only a few months old. I have McAfee and Super Anti- Spyware installed. My computer was makeing a clicking noise so I called customer support for Dell. The tec got on my computer via online and did some checks then said I had spyware and wanted to charge me $199.99 then said he would give me a deal for half. I am on a tight budget and paying off the computer so just can't afford it. So called Mcafee which said no spyware. However, when I run the Super Anti-Spyware it keeps showing the above listed tracking cookies. It prompts me to reboot to get rid of it but they won't go away. So I don't know if I have spyware or not but am afraid to do nothing. Somebody please advise because I don't know what to do! Thanks in advance for any help!!

hi i will redirect you to the great helpers in the viruses and spyware and other nasties ,check out the second read-me post at the top of the page for first time instruction …

Some current trojans are very hard to eliminate because they infect the boot sector of the disc. I have also seen some infect the restore partition libraries, so even if you reinstall the operating system, it will still be infected. This is why I recommend using Linux, and run Windows inside a virtual machine if you must have Windows software.

sound advice but not everyone wants to use linux

being a network problem i think you might try posting
in the networking section so people there see it to .

hi,first thing i would try is going to device manager cd/dvd section right click on the drive info and uninstall the drive ,and reboot computer to have windows reinstall drivers for the drive

So the conclusion is it is neither good or bad to keep it on or turn of often ,right ? lol

the only time i can think it would be good idea to leave computer on 24/7 is in a cold environment,because of something called thermal shock ,that is when the motherboard is very cold from sitting all night and the quick heat up of the cpu can cause the thermal shock to the motherboard,just something i remember reading a bunch of years back

You reply after few months ago, lol.

no need for this post .lol

this is not technical terms ,just my opinion based on how i do it and othere in my house ,bought my first computer in 1996,not sure how many different one i have owned over the years ,but never hurt any of them by shutting them down 5 or 6 times a day or by leaving them on for 24/7 for a month or more.

i have been building and fixing computers since 1999,and people i service computer for do it both ways ,and those who leave them on all the time have had dead motherboard and harddrive as well as those who leave them on all the time,speaking of time ,time for another beer ,good night and good luck

not sure as i only dapple in virtual ,i do have oracle install ,but only have win7starter and winxp and a linux install in it ,my question to you would be why not ask you question in a oracle or vmware forum instead of a forum meant for mothereboards and cpu and ram help ,good luck
remember www.google.com is your friend in-need

good to hear your making headway,good luck

great ,now please mark this thread solved ,thanks

have you run any malware scans ,if not try scanning computer for malware/trojans .
www.malwarebytes.comits free
install it update and run full scan ,,after scan fix what it finds ,
it will create a log when done ,you can post it back here if you wish

how old is this laptop ,any chance its over heating ,is the fan and heatsinc clear of dust.

as for knowing anyone who has this problem ,at one time or another almost everyone who owns a laptop[if they keep it long enough ] will have a similar problem as your
