I try to access my Gmail account, all of a sudden the screen starts going crazy. It's never happened before. So disgusted with this Dell Inspirion 1545 6 months old, battery is shot; webcam not good.
I have just installed Thunderbird to access Gmail for my emails.When I 'Getmail' my emails in T'bird it doesn't find any but if I go to Gmail website they are in my inbox. I can then forward them to myself (gmail address) and Thunderbird reads them ok.
I think I may have screwed up royally with my still-new computer. Essentially, my problem is two-fold:
1) The shortcut icons on my desktop no longer work. I'm pretty sure I deleted the files from my computer (I'll explain in a little bit). Ex: I try to click on Mozilla, and nothing happens. If I attempt to send the same icon to the Recycle Bin, it will tell me that the file no longer exists. It says: "This is no longer located in "C: UsersKevinDesktop"
2) I am no longer able to access my Gmail. I no, I know that isn't a Windows 7 thing, but let me explain. When I go to Google in Internet Explorer and click on Gmail, I get a message that says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." When I click on the "Diagnose Connection Problems" button, a box that says "A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting" appears.
So those are essentially my issues. Essentially, everything was working fine before I started messing with my files. Here's the scoop: This is the first computer I've ever had that had a split hard drive (C and D). I noticed that the D drive never had anything saved to it, so I decided that I would move my files that began with the pathway "C: Users" over there. I literally just clicked and dragged that over to the D drive. Then...I noticed stuff was wrong. The issues I mentioned before (shortcuts and GMail) and also that what little music I had on my iTunes was unable to be located.
I realized that it was probably that the shortcut icons, the iTunes songs were looking for files that had been moved...I decided to move them back. So I clicked and dragged the folder in D back over to C. It told me that some of the files already existed in C, and it asked if I wanted to merge them. I said yes. So. Problem still persists. I have figured it out with my iTunes and have got the program to locate everything, but I am still unable to fix the other issues. I can't find those files for the desktop anywhere, and I can't even begin to figure out what to do with the GMail issue, but I feel it has to be linked, right???
For the last 7 hours I've been dealing with the neighbor's computer.The original problem was their hard drive was failing, causing everything to run very slowly. Today I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium x64. The installation went fine. After setting up their profiles and making sure it was up-to-date I proceeded to create a system image so they could load that instead of having to reinstall in the future.Their external hard drive is some annoying ClickFree C2 or something. It was temperamental just trying to get it to show up. I hate removable hard drives with auto-backup programs, I prefer a normal removable hard drive. After getting it to work right I saved a system image to it. However I had renamed the WindowsImageBackup folder to something else. This was a problem because I found out there were a couple things I had wanted to do before making that image. So I went to restore that image and it said there were no images found. I thought it was a problem with drivers but it turns out the folder must be renamed to WindowsImageBackup before restoring.After restoring the image I activated Windows which was one of the things I had wanted to do. After that I tried to create a system image again. However, it gave me an error saying there wasn't enough room for the shadow volume copy , 0x80780119 I believe. However, the image should only take a measly 17GB since it is a new installation, and there is over 700GB of free space on the external HDD!
I have an Acer Aspire laptop that is giving me problems. When I use the touchpad it is like it is on auto-pilot. I move it around and it just starts clicking on every icon it hovers over. When I press F7 AND FN IT DISAbles the touchpad and I can use it fine with the mouse. Is this something that is wrong with the mouse/touchpad settings, a Virus or something else I am not considering. It is actually doing the same crazy stuff when using an external Mouse. It is just clicking things automatically when I move over the icons. It is also happening in safe mode. It is like the Laptop is on steroids. Suggestions ; Software, hardware or a virus. I just replaced the screen on the Laptop
I'm running: Dell XPS 9100 Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 16 GB RAM Quad-core Intel 920 @ 2.67 GHz C: drive = 2 TB RAID-0 internal drive set (2 disks) E: drive = 2 TB RAID-0 G-RAID external array attached w/ eSATA (2 disks) Today I had a serious problem with Windows Explorer. I was trying to access a 3.2 GB TIFF file on my external E: array (used for backup, Second Copy is my backup utility) and sorted the directory by Date Modified to find the file.Windows Explorer hung and spun for 45 minutes until I had to power-switch my computer off. Froze up everything. Consumed up to 14 GB of RAM with non-stop page faulting. I even got a black screen trying to start Task Manager to kill the process. The black screen hung, then threw an error msg saying it couldn't open the window and said either press ESC or power-switch the computer. Hitting ESC worked once, but the next time I tried it 10-15 min later I had to power-switch the machine.Windows upon restarting applied some patches during the boot sequence in a place I'd never seen it do that before (while the colorful logo on black background is coming up, before the normal 'Windows is configuring your computer' message on the blue background when it's updating).Lost all my configs - Start Menu, Desktop, Firefox bookmarks, IE favorites, Photoshop actions/recently-edited-files, etc. My files and programs seem ok, though, so far.In Resource Monitor the Windows Explorer window had taken almost 100% of memory, 12 GB of my 16 GB. Photoshop could not even close.It had spun like that on my internal C: drive. But defragging seemed to fix it. On my external drive defragging doesn't help much. Tonight, after defragging my E: external array, I again tried accessing the same directory to work with an updated copy of the same TIFF file. Again I sorted the directory in descending order to sort the file to the top. And I tried to delete another 3 GB file in the same directory. Windows Explorer kept the resources hanging for 20-30 min instead of 45+ minutes. But this time Resource Monitor said Explorer was taking up from 12.9 to 19 GB of memory (on a 16 GB machine).This time Explorer did allow Photoshop to close. But I had to kill the Photoshop.exe process after exiting Photoshop, and some minutes later the memory usage dropped from 19 GB to 98.7 MB.Has anyone seen anything like this? what's going on?My E: drive is external, used for backup, is 75% full and has 240,000 user files on it + whatever system files, Second Copy control files, etc.
I wondered if someone would be able to help me with an issue which is driving me crazy today, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with 8gb of RAM.
I've got an issue where the system is caching around 5gb of that Ram, and no matter what I do I can't seem to get the system to release the damn memory. I thought prefect was the cause but it is not, I also tried running the Process Idle Tasks command but that didn't help either.
It appears the browser history for today has been somewhat deleted and I can only see sites I have been to since I got home from work. I need to know if someone was sending gmail from my computer @ 10:48am. Is there another way to tell?
I have never set GMail up as my default mail, and would like to know how to do this. Everytime I click a link, my default is MSN. Need to change. My browser is Google Chrome, and in Windows 7.
I want to remove my Gmail account from my Windows Live Mail set up.Not used to Windows and can't find a way to delete it from Windows Live desk top set up, though have deleted the Gmail account at Gmail online..
I finally pulled the trigger and installed Windows 7 on my main machine Friday. I had it on my development/test machine since RTM and RC before that. But now I live with it and I LOVE it.
I love the new taskbar, but there is one thing I am miss... I use GMail and I loved how in the task bar I could see the number of new emails I had with a quick glance. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know that GMail has an app you can install that runs in the status bar, but I don't want to be bugged when it comes in, I just want to be able to see the # when I want to look that direction.
I recently came up with a problem on one of my computers that drove me completely insane. I've been using Gmail for quite sometime now, but all of a sudden, I couldn't open the site anymore. I can still log in from iGoogle but nothing can get me into Gmail. I've tried connecting from the Google homepage, typing "mail.google.com" into the address bar and I even tried www.gmail.com but nothing worked. The most frustrating part of the problem is that I can connect from any other computer or any kind of device that has Internet capabilities. I've tried clearing my Cookies, Cache, Browsing History and even tried with a different Internet browser but I got no where.
The error that I get when I try to connect with Google Chrome is the following:
The webpage has a redirect loop
The webpage at [URL] has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.
Here are some suggestions:
- Reload the webpage later.
- Learn more about this problem.
Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects. --
Clicking "Learn more" just brings me to a page explaining about cookies and how to delete them.
I did some poking around on the Internet and found some pages that said there might be a virus that is blocking certain webpages from loading (I have no idea about that, but it is likely, as I had just gotten the computer and didn't have any antivirus installed).
Just in case, here is some info about the computer:
Acer Aspire 5736Z Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4500 @ 2.30GHz 4.00GB Installed Memory Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
My ISP is Orange FR and until a recent shut down of internet activity whilst Orange were performing repairs to the system, gmail worked well in Windows Live Mail.Now I can't get it to send or receive emails in Live MailMy OS is windows 7 and I have 4 accounts in my windows live mail set up, one being the main ISP of Orange
I can't access gmail on a new Dell Inspiron with Windows Home Premium 64 bit. I keep getting an error message of a Redirect Loop in Google.com and error message 20457 or a similar number and word that the server won't accept when I use the notifier. I use gmail and its notifier with no problem on an older Dell Latitude with W'7 32 b
I installed Gmail Drive but its not showing up in Windows explorer anywhere. Tried it using compatibility mode, still no luck. When i double click the setup file, its stuck on this screen.
Last three weeks ago, My account was always online and I was changed my passwords. However I change the passwords, My account was always online. That is why I deleted it. Now, I need some data from that gmail account. I want to get back that account. But I don't know how to recovery my delete ID of gmail (googlemail ID).
My computer suddenly hanged while I was using GMAIL, and after a few seconds, it restarted. I didn't even get to see the BSOD itself (the blue screen) before it restarted.
