I have a dell lattitude lap top running windows 7. I had picked up a virus that seemed to shake up norton AV. I think I have it settled, but still can not have anyone webex in. Norton did not think this was the virus and suggest I search the OS or whatnot. Before reinstalling Windows 7, is there a program I can run similar to the old scan disk, to check for errors?
As you may see I am connected to the internet but I cannot see the signal bars on the taskbar.my laptop information:Toshiba Satelite M645 S4070Windows 7 Home Premium. 64-bitI also cannot do a system restore of the check disk error i am seeing.below is an image of the results:[CODE]
I was about to just uninstall most everything, and reinstall it. I am having an issue with a bsod for memory_management. I did a ram check, and a HDD check. Memtest86+ passed 5 times, nearly 6 but I stopped it when I woke up. WDC extended test proved no errors. That leaves me down to drivers.
I have two PCS running WIN 7 that are networked through a switch.I've been having issues with sharing folders & beleive I have it sorted now. But, want to check that the below is correct.I note that I can see folder changes, etc in the home network area and network area of the both PCs. But, I cannot see any changes directly in the C: Drive of each computer.Is this what I should be seeing?
So I try to schedule Disk Check on my C: drive by going to Computer-> Right Click on C: -> go to properties -> Tools -> Error Checking -> Check now ->select both Disk options (1. Automatically Fix file system errors 2. Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors). Of course, it tells me that the disk is in use and asks me if I would like to check for disk errors the next time I start my computer. I click yes
I had a "windows explorer has stopped working" the other day. Everything seems to work fine but I thought it might be a good idea to try and scan the system to make sure all is well.
Tryin to check for updates and it says no updates are available when I know there is because I don't even have SP1 on here yet (Just got it out of box) It installed updates, once, but now will not properly search when I ask it to "check for updates" it just lets the bar scroll once "checking for updattes" then says "no important updates are available.. I turned firewall off, still no luck..
I would like to know if there is a way I can test if a specific port is open on an IP address and if my PC can connect to that port? How do you do this from Command Prompt? 'telnet iport' does not seem to work since it just says 'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
I do not want to use a website to do this, since they will test if they can make a connection from their servers to the ip port in question, not if the port between my IP address and the ip in question is open.
I know about NMAP and Netcat, but don't know how that works.
I get BSOD but since its kind of random i have no way of knowing if there is hardware causing it. Used SF diagnostics tool and also did CPUID screenshots as instructed and have zipped them in 1 folder. Also i have as instructed in the forum put my general system info in my profile. If need be i can do screenshots of speccy and have them attached as well. I have done memtest86+ with pass complete for both my 2 modules of corsair ddr3 4gb sticks.
I ran a disk check today. It seemed to go as normal, but when it finished my windows 7 pc didn't start. I restarted it, and same happened again - checkdisk had apparently been scheduled, ran, and - nothing. Tried restarting several times, but always the same.Hitting any key didn't stop checkdisk. PC won't start in safe mode. Recovery disk doesn't work. Can't get pc started at all.
I'm new to the forum but hopefully can follow all the directions to give you the info you need. Last night I got a blue screen error:The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000009f (0x0000000000000003, 0xfffffa80069ff060, 0xfffff800050043d8, 0xfffffa80074245c0). A dump was saved in: C:WindowsMinidump121811-15834-01.dmp. Report Id: 121811-15834-01.
This is the 3rd or 4th time I've gotten this in the last month or two, and it's always happened while the computer was in a Sleep state. When it's occurred I have used the power button on the CPU to shut down. Then I wait awhile and turn it back on and it's fine again. This computer is 4 months old, an HP purchased direct from HP.
My System Info:
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7 Processor Count: 8 RAM: 8172 Mb Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 530, -2048 Mb Hard Drives: C: Total - 1419105 MB, Free - 1346316 MB; D: Total - 11590 MB, Free - 1416 MB; Motherboard: PEGATRON CORPORATION, 2AB5 Antivirus: Webroot SecureAnywhere, Updated and Enabled
Note also that I had Norton installed up until a few weeks ago. I have been having Outlook email problems that I thought might be related to Norton, and since I hate Norton anyway I uninstalled it (using their Removal Tool) and installed Webroot SecureAnywhere instead. It is active and updated.
I have the DVD with Windows 7 installed on it, it is booting on start up, everything's fine. I have also downloaded and burned on another DVD all the drivers for my laptop. I downloaded them from the official website of the manufacturer of the motherboard of the laptop. Now my idea is, when the windows crashes and needs to be pre - installed, I install it using the booting DVD and then when it is ready I put the other disc with the drivers on it and install the drivers like for internet, sound, the touch pad and stuff like that.
I am sorry if I sound silly, but I just wanted to ask whether the way I have done these things will actually work because I really want to learn how install my OS by myself.I once pre - installed the Windows, but I had no idea that you have to install drivers as well so we had to bring the computer to the town to fix it. Silly me!
Also, is there any way to check whether the drivers I have downloaded are the right ones and will work? I see that they have the same names as my drivers currently installed, if that's anything.
With all the device drivers for even the most basic of system, how do you all go about checking for updates? Is there a "driver checker" type program or is it a case of checking each driver individually?
So I ran msinfo32, and I was browsing through it to see if it could give me any interesting information (stuff like drivers I still needed to install, getting the USB ports to actually use 2.0 like they're supposed to but have never done under XP/Ubuntu/7). And came up with the following surprising pic - there's quite a few entries through the list, but this is the part with the most wtfs-per-screen.
I'm trying to find out if there is a way we can prevent users from creating/storing/copying/pasting files onto the root directory. This is because i want to prevent anything from writing itself there other than the system itself. Because most of the autorun viruses etc copies itself there. There are numerous viruses out there which does this. And at this present time, although majority of the anti-viruses can track them, we might never know if another way to circumvent anti-viruses watch and defenses can be formulated. This is the basis i'm looking for this specific way to block users from storing files on root drives. And yes i am aware that natively UAC does watch over these places which means without elevated privs, nothing can be stored there. But what good is security if the home owners welcome thieves in disguises?
my laptop has a problem staying on, it doesn't get hot at all, i turn it on , it takes alot longer to boot up, then after about 10-15 min it randomly turns off, no shut down screen, just a complete turn off.there's times where it wont get past the windows loading screen.
