I am wondering if i have a questionable peice of software that may contain a virus or what not if i can use XP mode as a sandbox to test it so that if it does it will not afect my Computer.
I've been using my Ps3 controller as an alternative to an Xbox 360 controller on my PC (to play games with a gamepad) but in order to use my Ps3 controller as a makeshift 360 controller, I need test signing enabled.
Unfortunately with test signing enabled I get a big ugly watermark at the bottom right of my screen, as far as I know the only way to disable this is to disable test signing, otherwise it just won't leave! Is there any way I can get past this and somehow keep driver test signing enabled but get rid of that horrid watermark ruining my gorgeous wallpaper?
I Installed 185.81 geforce driver and I have B7100. I can not set up custom resolution 1360*768 for my LCD Tv. I see always "custom mode test failed" error.I tried different drivers but the result is still same. I can set up at XP with same driver and setting 1360*768 custom resolution but at W7 I can not.
There's a certain program that I use that needs me to run Windows in Test Mode to work correctly (to run unsigned drivers, I think). I know the program is legit because I've used it before and I know it won't harm my PC. But is there any downside to being permanently in Test Mode? Like, problems installng other programs or random system crashing? Or is it ok to just leave Test Mode enabled all the time?My system.Lenovo Y560d Intel Core i7.Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
I restart my PC spam F8 and enable test mode. Windows boots up and then... nothing. it's normal windows starting without the watermark in either corner and I can't install drivers without certification.
What do I need to do? I can't get on the internet, use my mouse, or do anything. I used the bcdedit.exe command and the watermark went away, but its still acting like its in test mode.
I am running with windows 7 extreme edition x64 but now it stuck on one update file. When I shut down computer or it ask me to restart every time it take update of the same file and after restart, my windows again downloading the same file and a strange (Test Mode Windows Build) thing is appearing just right down corner of the task bar where the digital clock is been displayed. This is the only file which is taking update every time I restart my Workstation. I am giving info of file that is causing update again and again: Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2607576).
I'm not 100% sure it's a sandbox program I need, but basically I want to be able to load up an XP program within Windows 7 without it being able to affect my Win 7 installation, and thought a Sandbox would be what I need, but those I've looked at tend to seem more related to specific programs themselves e.g. browsers, audio players etc.
A program I use (neuro programmer) used to work quite well on my system but now when ever I try to load it, I get this error:[CODE]This obviously is related to me having sandboxie installed on my computer and then removing it incorrectly. I tried re-installing sandboxie and neuro programmer numerous times.I have tried to locate the folder but it doesn't exist on my systemI have run a registry cleaner (which I now know isn't the best) run several different spy/ad/malware scanners with nothing coming up.I haven't tested all my programs, but I am sure this could be a problem for a few of them.Is there anyway I can get this program to start? Is it a registry error? I looked in regedit and couldn't see anything really linked to neuro programmer (not that I am really aware of what to look for
i have a wierd problem, some months before i used to have a software named sandboxie.Then suddenly some time i started experiencing BSOD errors about a message i dont remember but it was like "wrong write adress in memory".I unninstaled sandboxie and it stopped.Then 5 weeks ago i installed another sandboxie-like software named buffer zone pro and after install same thing happens random BSOD with same message.Also my pc has been formated in the meantime from sandboxie and bufferzone for other reasons but the problem still remains.
Basically this is a new system, however it does not come with a modem - the modem is required because they use dial-up. So my customer purchased one of his own, ever since the laptop has been experiencing a 0xA bsod. When the usb jack is not plugged in we still experience the bsod.The jack is a Zoom 56K Modem Series 1063 - we installed the 64bit drivers seeing as we have a 64bit OS here.I debugged the dump files myself and received two process names:
win32k.sys ntkrnlmp.exe
Specs: - Windows 7 Pro x64 - This is the original Acer installation of Windows - OEM - What is the age of system (hardware)? System was purchased on Feb. 1st 2012 - Age of installation is fresh - barely even a month old
when i start tdu, crash me to de desktop, and only crash me when i connect my steering wheel (genius speed wheel 3mt) or my joystick, there are any solutions for this problem ?
When open VCC and go to Displays/DigitalFlatPanels/LCD Overdrive, everything is grayed out. Everything else works, its just this, you can see it, but the text and borders are gray, at one point it worked for a brief period and said "cannot load test image" or something along those lines. is there any 3rd party driver I need to do this?
The only thing that failed is "Re-allocated sector count: results are value 138, threshold 140, worst 138.I have noticed my laptop heating up more than normal for a couple of weeks. Is this bad news?
I am on the tail end of building my system. It has been quite and experience so far. After an already successful first build, the computer is OC at 3.9 ghz stable but then I felt the urge to upgrade my sole 1TB hard drive ( 32 MB Cache /3 mbs ) into a RAID 0 configuration,using 2 brand new WD 1TB hard drive, 64 MB Cache / 6 mbs, which my Asus supports. I am assuming that this will seriously improve speed and performance.trying to figure out the RAID setup in BIOS and a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit, I finally got it to work. The computer is now operational. But there is only concern I have...
I can't tell any MAJOR improvement ! A slight improvement in speed when I change windows and programs is notice.In addition, the transfer rate when I moved files to the new RAID was quicker at around 88 MBS. Why I am concern is because my Windows system assessment's score for hard disk transfer rate is only at 5.9, which is low and the same as before. Everything else is at 7.5 or higher. Also, I was hoping the load times of my files ( the thumbnail previews ) would increase in speed, but appears to be the same. I am somewhat certain that my RAID setup in BIOS was done correctly. The system is seeing one drive with a 2 TB capacity. I use my computer to do a lot of hd video editing.
1- Is there a way or to test, monitor, or tweak my RAID 0 setup for optimum performance?
2- Am I actually getting the best out of RAID 0 and my expectations were just too high?
3- Are there specifically " one " type of RAID 0 setup? ( I just want to eliminate the possibility of setting up RAID 0 incorrectly in BIOS ).

I am trying to diagnose a problem with my machine, and in so doing I have run memtest overnight (to test all 8GB of RAM--which takes about 12 hours). However, I've read various places that memtest is only reliable testing one stick at a time (I have 4x2GB). I didn't get any errors in 7 passes with all memory in. Does this mean that I'm fine, or should I go back and test each individually?
I can't get CS4 web premium to install on my desktop. I've contacted adobe, and they have "helped" me several times, each trying the same thing and then moving me up to the next levelWindows 7, but I don't want to lose the one I currently have. Especially if I still can't install CS4. I have an extra hard drive that I could use. If I install windows 7 on this extra hard drive, can I do so without validating it? I just don't want to validate it and find out that my current installation won't work any more.
im trying to reinstall windows from my recovery discs and am getting media test failre check cable message. am I missing a set? i cant seem to find reinstall directions anywhere
Yes i know Windows 7 has a system memory test and it works very well ... but i came across this test at Microsoft and i must say I'm impressed !, just download the and save to disk (ISO) burn to disk and boot your system from it. The Windows Memory Diagnostic Test is very complete one pass takes a few minuets and extended can run over night, i think i will be using on a few Windows based Computers, there is also a Windows Memory Diagnostic Users Guide at the site
When I started my toshiba laptop this morning, it started up normally, but then it shut down. When I tried to start it up, the screen was blank, but the power light was on. After about an hour, it just shut down. I tried to start it again, and it worked fine. I then ran a diagnostic test and it said "HARDDISK DRIVE TEST FAIL" What can I do to fix this?
If if try to play a test tone from the control panel i get a message that says "failed to play test tone." However when i first turn on my laptop it plays the startup sound so i know it isn't a hardware issue. I opened my control panel>hardware and sound>sound>speakers>properties> enhancements>disable all enhancements. This didn't help anything at all I disabled a certain windows update that was said to cause this problem, security update KB974571. rebooted my computer, still no sound.I tried a system restore but my windows 7 is very recent and there's only 2 restore points and neither of them work.I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers, no sound. There was also a registry edit solution that i can't seem to find the link to, but that didn't work either.
I'm currently using Win 7 RC 32-bit on this comp, and am looking to move to 64-bit by the time RTM comes round.
My question is - everything except my scanner has 64-bit drivers. There is this program that included 64-bit compatibility with a large number of scanners, and mine is listed.
Is there anyway I could install a second Windows 7 on a third partition (of this same hard drive), and try the driver with that to check it works? As I understand it you can't test drivers etc. in a VM install.
