Computer Year Resets 5000 Years To 7011?
Jun 29, 2011
at seemingly random intervals, I'll "wake up" my computer only to find its date/time entry is suddenly same date, same time, but YEAR 7011.Not too surprisingly, things don't work right when the computer year is that far off-- which is usually what tips me off that it's happened yet again. AOL may not work, or I may bet alerts that computer protection is "no longer valid" (well gee, 5000 years from now, not surprised). WHAT causes these repeated changes of the computer's year setting?

I am in the process of completing a new build and when I try to shutdown it just reboots.
- Turned off all "wake" features in the bios
- The only front panel connections I'm using are reset and power on buttons. Neither of which are sticking on
- Motherboard is out of case so there are no dropped screws shorting anything out

I have an HP MobileWorkstation Elitebook 8440w with Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit OS and I'm unable to add this mouse as a Bluetooth Device.I was able to add the device to my old HP Elitebook 8530w with Windows Vista and it worked most of the time, but then it stopped working when the OS was updated to Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. I don't have administrative permission on the 8530w to remove the device to attempt adding it again to see if that helps. Also, I can't change the Bluetooth settings on that machine to rule out that as the problem due to the same lack of permission.Rather than go back to my administrator to change the settings on the old 8530w and waste time trying to see if the mouse connects with it, I'd rather get my mouse to connect to my current 8440w laptop for which I can change the Bluetooth settings.
I tried to get the sys admins at work to fix this mouse problem, but they couldn't do it with the limited time they had to spare, especially since I have the option of using a USB mouse they provided. The problem is that I spent $50 on this mouse and it worked before the Windows 7 install on the 8530w and never worked on the 8440w. I've tried everything suggested in other forum threads on this issue: Turned mouse on using the power switch on the bottom and getting a steady green light Held down the button on the bottom to make mouse discoverable with flashing red and green light Fresh batteries (removed and replaced fresh batteries and attempted connection again) Edited all device settings as recommended in Microsoft documentation:Bluetooth Settings > Options (the following are checked on)DiscoveryAllow Bluetooth devices to find this computer ConnectionsAllow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer Alert me when a new Bluetooth device wants to connect Show the Bluetooth icon in the notification area Bluetooth Settings >HardwareHP Integrated Module with Bluetooth 2.1 Wireless Technology"This device is working properly" Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator"This device is working properly" Bluetooth Service PropertiesStartup Type: Automatic Service status: Started Log on as: Local System account Double-checked the device drivers to make sure they are up-to-date After all that, the "Add a device" tool just spins forever without discovering the mouse. Is my $50 mouse useless with Windows 7, or am I missing something?

I am looking for advice to recover a video i deleted a long time ago.The system that it was on hasn't been formatted and is running Windows XP Home.Is there any way i can recover this video?I remember that it was taken from a Sony Ericsson mobile phone and name of the file was probably "MOV******".Edit: I just realized that i am refering to a Windows XP system and that this is a Windows 7 Forum

My sister's computer has been running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 for more than two years. We obtained the copy from Amazon. The copy we have appears in a genuine box, with COA with interwoven holographic strip, and holographic cds. We went away camping for a week, turned on the computer on return, and the screen went black when the computer did the update check. Error code is 0xC004F200, and optional update delivery no longer works. There is an error code down the right corner, notification that build 7601, windows no longer genuine, etc.
This copy was only ever used once, and on this machine, and obtained for this machine. It has never been installed on anything else. We checked the product key via computer properties, and it said that the product key suddenly no longer matched the product key on the box/cds. On trying to change it, a dialog box came up and said that the product key has been blacklisted. We researched this, and the net said to contact microsoft.
BTW, we ran the diagnostic tool as admin.
Code:
Diagnostic Report (1.9.0027.0):

Validation Code: 50
Cached Online Validation Code: 0xc004c4a2

I have had a Compaq CQ62-219wm for over a year; however, now I get a message indicating that my Windows 7 Home Premium x64 is not genuine. Upon downloading a key finder software, I noted that the product key has "Trial" indicated (in spaces 6-10). Could this be a result of not activating within 30 days? My service protection is enabled.

I have been getting BSODs here and there ever since I put this computer together in August 2010. It's become intolerable and I am just so sick of it...I am running full retail Home Premium x64 on this platform:MSI 890GXM-G65 mainboardAMD Phenom II X4 BE 965 Deneb4x OCZ AMD Black Edition RAM 2GB (clocked at 1066 with 7-7-7-21 timings (factory default)) 8GB totalXFX 650W PSU*XFX 5850 GPU (HD-585X-ZNFC, 725mhz/1GB DDR5)1TB WDC HDD*Graphics card recently crapped out, system would no longer POST with it hooked in. Running on an ancient PNY NVIDIA 7600GT back-up...The Windows installation is approximately 7 months old, I have tried reinstalling three times to remedy the situation to no avail. I gave up on re-installation as a cure.The most common cause seems to be simply being IDLE. As in, I'm not even at the chair interacting with the computer.
Firefox (up-to-date) crashes ALL THE TIME - usually having to do with Flash Player corruption. Reinstalled Flash, reinstalled FF. No difference. IE9 is a bit more stable but also crashes (albeit not fully, so I use it more often than FF).I don't have dump files that reference it but atikmpag.sys was often the "culprit" of many of my BSODs prior to the card crapping the bed. In fact it even caused a crash after the card was replaced with the old 7600GT, at which point I uninstalled everything ATI. There hasn't been a BSOD pointing to it since.
I get all kinds of Flash corruption, pixelation, and lag when a BSOD is imminent - some of the time. 3D gaming however, is typically stable. Skyrim for instance, ran well until the GPU misfortune.I have tried lots of RAM manipulation (Timings, Voltage, whatever) and it just makes things worse when I stray away from the factory defaults. I believe there is a limitation with my series of CPU in using 4 DIMMS - the memory controller can't handle speed above 800mhz or 1066mhz or something. I forget exactly what. But I am using 4 modules, so I have gone by what I read and this fixed ATI driver hang-ups (hang -> black screen -> "ATI driver stopped responding and has recovered) I was having in a different game a while back (Vindictus).
Windows Memory Diagnostic has never returned a problem with the RAM. Memtest didn't either the last time I tried. Admittedly this was a while ago, but like my title states, I have been having these problems since basically day one of this build.pologies if I have omitted anything that could be of use. I have put this off for a long time and am quite frustrated. I have read about 50 threads with similar BSOD error codes and still haven't gotten anything useful so maybe my problem needs a specific

So Windows seems to be very unresponsive, slow, and buggy on my computer I've had for about 3 years now. It's done this the entire time I've had butince school has started it's really pissing me off when I'm trying to get homework done.Anyway, it has a very slow start up process, and during this the taskbar doesn't respond nor does the desktop and other things.Then at random intervals it does exactly this (that isn't my video though). This also happens when I play a game, it just completely stops (and sometimes the sound repeats itself over and over again) and I have to wait until it becomes responsive again.Now this is a problem I've had recently: It doesn't completely shutdown either. When I hit the shut down button and go to bed, I'll wake up in the morning and it still has the blue "Shutting down..." screen. So I have to forcefully shut it down by holding down the power button for 3 seconds.[CODE]

I have this spare machine laying around (AMD Athlon X2 5000+, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, GeForce 9500 GS) and I was wondering what OS I should put on it. It's not going to be an everyday usage computer but I don't know whether to make it a server or a media center. My primary machine has Windows 7 Pro x64 and my roommate's machine has Vista x64, and while 7 is obviously a fantastic OS, I wonder if something different might be better. Any advice?

my computer recently has started to reset the volume to 100% and keep it at that level, it is unable to be reduced to a better level.a week ago, I installed X-Lite 4, on my computer so i was able to start setting up my voip phone.this problem started about 4 days ago and i was able at first been able to get around it by restarting my computer but then some time later time varies, it would just reset volume to full level.with this doing this it has displayed on my screen bottom middle screen, a picture fo a speaker and showing volume bar at full. this is always ontop of all other windows.the only way I have been able to get rid of this is by stopping the service "audiosrv" through task manager.I have since done a scan with spybot, cleaned my computer with c cleaner, ran my virus scanner etc.
I have also changed property changes in audio settings and nothing has made a difference.I have also uninstalled x-lite, done a system restore to about 2 weeks ago, nothing still made any difference. I am running Windows 7 ultimate 32bit, on a pentium dual core at the moment I am thinking that maybe my audiosrv.dll file or something assoicated with it may be currupt or been infected and not being picked up so far.I have to be able to fix this issue with doing a fix. without a reinstall of the OS / software.

I have recently built myself a PC (Windows 7, i5) and it's running fine except for one problem. Every now and again, when I've been away from it, I find that it's reset itself. I don't think it's overheating as the machine has two extra case fans and the temps seem fine.How should I go about starting to investigate this as it has never reset itself while I've been there.

I use the Display Color Calibration program in Windows 7 to get my monitor's gamma down. It was working great until two or three days ago, but it now resets itself on reboot, every reboot. I've had this problem before and it was related to igfxpers.exe, but that is not among my startup items and thus isn't the issue. Oddly, during the Welcome screen, the gamma goes way up, then seems to come back to where it should be, only to get really bright again and stay there. Even stranger, if I run the calibration tool, bring the gamma down and just cancel the process, the gamma comes back down to where it should be.The problem seems to have cropped up after I upgraded to the newest version of Microsoft Security Essentials, but I'm not sure that's the cause of the issue.

I have the clock set to notify me when clock changes, and it always has a note as to when a change is scheduled for savings time, but it never notifies me nor changes the time on it's own. I always have to reset it myself and that is usually after the time confuses me enough for me to check the actual time.
How do I get it to reset automatically?

I have an issue with Windows 7.
Whatever time I set Windows 7 to (i.e. Eastern Time, Western Time, Coordinated Universal Time, etc.), on restart it sets itself to GMT, while still showing that I've selected the previous time zone I set (i.e. Eastern Time).

Is there any driver better than the Windows 7 default driver or the ones currently available from HP? Those from HP seem to be actually for a different printer - the HP Color LaserJet CP2025 Series.
The real issue is that those drivers only support a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi but the HP LaserJet 5000 has a max resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi.
Any idea how get the max resolution out of the printer?

I have this issue resolved but I still wonder why it always resets to the wrong way.I always have to click on the set mode to "What you see is what you get".This wan't true until a few months ago.This isn't a big issue now that I know what to do (it drove my crazy for a while) but I'm curious as to whether there is a way to set the default to "What you see is what you get".

Basically, whenever I start the computer up, it gets to the Windows login screen and loads it, at first, in full resolution (2048 x 1152) but immediately changes to 1024x768. Then once logged in I have to go in and change it back to full resolution. The problem started after I disconnected my monitor and connected it to my laptop with a VGA cable. Typically it's connected to this computer via DVI. I was thinking it might be a cable issue- one of the pins got damaged or something but I don't have another DVI cable to test with.
Specs:
Lenovo D20 4155 workstation
CPU: 2.67 ghz Intel Xeon x5550
Graphics: ATI FirePro v7750
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2343BWX
What I've tried:
Updating windows
Re-installing The ATI driver and all the ATI software with the current version- reinstalled it with a newer version and reinstalled it with an older version. (I'm back to the newest version now)
Re-installed the Samsung monitor drivers
Ran an AV scan- no issues found.

I used Defogger to get rid of my mount drive, then used DDS to get a log I would get a friend to look at, and then used OTL to scan my computer. I ran the "fix" on OTL and everything went back to normal (IE home page stayed as set, and the dimmer buttons on my laptop started to work). Then came a Windows Update and restart after updating.

I've recently built a new PC, it's my first build and I've managed to solve most problems that have occurred but I'm stuck on this one. It will load games fine if i load them straight from turning on the PC but if i run it for a while then load a game it resets itself, and doesn't leave and mini/memory dumps. The system runs fine normally and even with some old games but if i load a new game such as civilization 5 on steam or try running examples in UDK it resets.
Specs:
Mobo: Asus Maximus IV Extreme
CPU: Intel Core i7 - 2600k
Ram: 8GB G.Skill RipjawsX
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 3GB
PSU: Antec High Current Pro HCP -750
SSD: Samsung 830 256GB
HD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Cooling: Antec Kuhler H20 920
OS: Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
At first i thought it was overheating but I've checked and the CPU and graphics card don't reach anywhere near a hot temperature before it crashes. I've also taken it to a local computer repair shop and the tests they ran all passed (i don't know what the tests they ran are but i'm going to call them tomorrow and find out / tell them it still crashes)

I cant get my Windows 7 to start up. I'm not sure if this is my PCs problem or windows. It starts up, gives me the ASUS screen where I can go into setup (though messing around in it hasn't helped yet). otherwise it goes to black screen where I can choose start windows normally or launch troubleshoot. if I pick start normally the windows logo comes up, loads, tursn black, and resets the PC. If I choose troubleshoot, it goes black for several minutes, shows the Windows 7 BG, and just gets stuck there. I'm not sure what to try to get it to boot.

I'm at my wits end now though, After several attempts at installing Win 7 RC (64bit) I realised it wouldn't let me becasue I hadn't added the latest drivers for my motherboard. Now it appears to have installed but whenever windows starts, it reboots at the point where the first 'red dot' appears (the four colours swirl in to make the window).
I ran in safe mode and it appears to reboot whenever it gets as far as 'system32/drivers/disk.sys'
I have installed to three different HDD, both IDE and SATA. All clean before the start. I've used an IDE DVD drive and a USB external, and my BIOS is totally up to date. I've now striped the PC of everything none essential.
The latest drivers for the motherboard are the Vista 64bit variety because there are no windows 7 drivers (that I could see).
P.S. I also obtained a copy of the 90day release version of 64bit Ultimate, which a friend has successfully installed on his Vista laptop. I've tried installing this with all the same configs and same problem every time.

I've had a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 for a short time, and had no problems initially in setting it up with my Acer Aspire 5740G notebook. Recently the mouse stopped working, however it is still showing up in the list of devices. Right-clicking on the mouse's icon does not show a remove or delete menu item, so I can't attempt to re-add the mouse as a new Bluetooth device.Other Bluetooth devices still work with the notebook, and the mouse still works with my PS3, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.How can I remove the device from the list of devices, so I can try to add it again? Or is there some other way I can try to get the mouse working again?

My microsoft 5000 Bluetooth mouse suddenly stopped working with my Dell precision m4500 laptop after nearly a year of working fine. The batteries are new, I tried re-pairing it with the laptop, but it won't discover it when I try to add new device (the mouse is ready to pair). My microsoft bluetooth keyboard still works fine, and I tried pairing the mouse with my macbook, and that works fine.
