Packer NSAnti-gen - found and then disappears

Dell Inspiron 9400
Intel Core 2 CPU
32 bit - 2GB
Vista Home Premium
Service Packs, updates and anti-virus all up to date

Last time I ran adaware there was a pop up saying it had found Packer.NSAnti-gen process and I had to wait until the end of the scan to remove it.

Come the end of the scan, I rescanned using Adaware, Security Essentials and Malwarebytes and they found nothing, not even in safe mode.

Can anyone tell me if it was a false positive? Any ideas how I should go about removing? Is it still there at all? Does anyone know what it does? I've searched the forums but can't find anything germane so...... help, please

I don't know where it came from but there's a teenager looking shifty.

Catherine..

Did you delete the photo frame? If that's when Ad-Aware detected it, and you removed it, it shouldn't be a problem. It might also help to clean your temporary files.

IF you still have it installed, and wish to be sure it's safe to keep, you can upload the file to VirusTotal. It's an online scanner, which analyzes suspicious files.

Hope this helps..

Reply 2 : Packer NSAnti-gen - found and then disappears

You stated in your post (elsewhere) Ad-Aware 'flashed up a warning'. I take that to mean you have Ad-Aware running in real-time.

DO you have both AAW and MSE installed?

Reply 3 : Packer NSAnti-gen - found and then disappears

Yes I have aaware and MSE, but only the free AAware - I was running a full scan when the pop-up er... popped up and disappeared. Neither now find anything at all. This seems to be a really old trojan and there is very little information about it. At least in places that I can access.

Thanks for all suggestions

Wall mount speakers

I have purchased an old amplifier and it is connected to red and black wires to every room in my apartment. I would like to purchase wall mounted speakers so I could listen to the amplifier output in every room but I can't find any. Is that technology moribund. Is it all MP3 iPod now? I had some in wall JBL speakers placed in my old home 6 years ago. Now I can't find them for sale anymore.

Thank you Pepe. I had googled wall mounted speakers and I did not come up with the page you did so I didn't find those speakers. I will use your link to buy some.

Copying a music CD into a folder when you have iTunes

Playing video from computer to TV and can't get sound back

I have a Dell laptop running Windows 7. LG HD widescreen TV.

I connected my computer to the TV last night with an HDMI cable and played a couple of video clips on the TV and everything worked fine (including sound playing through the TV speakers). After finishing, I just unplugged the HDMI cable and turned both off.

Today, I went to use my computer and found the sound not working. I looked in the sound mixer and saw that it was trying to play sound through the HDMI port so I disabled it and sound started playing fine through the computer speakers again.

Later, I plugged the computer back into the TV but when I went to play a video the sound didn't feed to the TV and kept coming out of the computer speakers. I went everywhere I could find in the Sound settings on the computer and cannot find that HDMI option to enable it again.

Any suggestions on how I get to that setting? I know it's just a matter of reconfiguring or enabling that port or driver, but I just can't find it.

Thanks!

I would like to copy my cd to my hard drive

Over the years I build a large collection of cd, music & film, and today I would to store them in my hardrive. I know how to copy them one at the time but wonder if there an hardware into which i can put, say 20 cd, and copy them to my hard drive ?
I use window

Thanks a lot

Reply 1 : I would like to copy my cd to my hard drive

Did you want to save to an external drive, or internal drive? Basically same principal, insert disk, open my computer, right click on drive icon, send to selected location.

Reply 2 : I would like to copy my cd to my hard drive

But if you put..say 5 to 10 cd per day, that shouldn't take that long. You be done with the WHOLE thing in no time. The old saying about "a journey start with a single step is true". Go to it and good luck.

Reply 3 : I would like to copy my cd to my hard drive

So you want an optical device that you can put multiple cd's into and it will cycle through them and transfer the data to your HD.

I'm not aware of such a thing....not to say it does not exist.

If it exist it would be a specialty item and the price would be in the 'nose bleed' area.

Reply 4 : I would like to copy my cd to my hard drive

Thank for your comments.
I did not make myself clear enough, sorry about that.
I have hundreds of cd, and copying them one by one is very tedious. I am wondering if I can buy a rack of cd player, such as the cd duplicator, somewhere.

Thanks again
Yann

Reply 5 : I would like to copy my cd to my hard drive

I can assure you, you can have many many player, but it will not decrease your time by that much. I believed duplicator are for making discs copy and not copying discs to harddrive. However, if you have many computer doing the job then your time should be shorten accordingly. Anyway, good luck in your search for the solution.

Here is one solution is sure to work. Pay someone to do it for you.

Can't get my audio to output through HDMI (ATI)

I tried to look for previous threads on the topic but ended up with alot of threads about the old m15 and others regarding nvidia cards.



I have a 5850 GPU and was running IDT for my sound management but I've now removed it. My video outputs perfectly through HDMI but I get no sound. My audio devices says that my ATI HDMI audio is unplugged and therefore cannot be chosen to output my audio and I've read page after page of other people with the problem but so far no fix has worked for me.

Reply 1 : Can't get my audio to output through HDMI (ATI)

I had the same issue, and it was down to my HDMI cable. At first I brought a Display Port to HDMI cable which was sold as 'working with audio', but clearly didnt. As soon as I used a known working HDMI cable (with the bundled display port to HDMI adapotor) it worked fine... Obviously, this was my issue, may be completly different for you, but may be worth eliminating the cable as the problem. If you have somewhere / someone else who can test it (between your Blu-ray / DVD player and TV for instance?)



Boz

Reply 2 : Can't get my audio to output through HDMI (ATI)

I dont have anywhere else to test it as nothing else uses display port

Reply 3 : Can't get my audio to output through HDMI (ATI)

Do you have the display port to HDMI adaptor that came with the laptop? I know not everyone got one with there laptop, but if you did, try that with a standard HMDI cable.



The only other issue that (from the top of my head, at work at the moment) that may cuase it is older ATI drivers. Anything from the 11.x range will be fine with HDMI audio, so check your drivers.

"Open your email inbox" button in WLM launches in a browser

I use Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Mail. Until yesterday, when I clicked on the "Open your email inbox" button in Messenger, it opened Windows Live Mail and I could sync my folders. Yesterday, I signed into another Hotmail account using Firefox, and for some reason this Hotmail account was added to my list of accounts in Windows Live Mail. I deleted that second account from the list, but now, when I click on the 'open your email inbox' button, it opens my original (main) Hotmail in Firefox, not Windows Live Mail. I don't want to use a browser, I want to use Windows Live Mail, but I have searched through the options in both programs and have been unable to find a tickbox which says something like 'Launch Windows Live Mail when clicking on "Open your email inbox" button in Windows Live Messenger'. I am using Vista. Can anybody help?

How do I get rid of the Bing Bar?

Dell Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E7500 Computer
Inspirion 545s 00
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

I have been so careful not to download the bing bar, but somehow I guess I missed it and it is presently on my computer. I do not want it. I've tried moving it with Revo Pro Installer; going through Control Panel>Uninstall a Program; and also CCleaner Uninstall. All attemps render the same result -- "Bing Bar cannot be uninstalled at this time. Try Again Laer."

How do I get the thing off of my computer?

Thanks for any help.

Reply 1 : How do I get rid of the Bing Bar?

Open Internet Explorer, then click on "Tools" in the upper left, choose "Manage add-ons". When that opens, click on the "Search Providers" link on the left side. Next, click once on the "Bing" toolbar listing in the main window. It should show "enabled".. Next, in the lower left side of that same window, click on the "Disable Suggestions" blue link.. Bing should now be disabled. You can also UNCHECK the box next to "Search in the address bar" to disable it further.

Close Internet Explorer and see if you can uninstall the Bing toolbar from the Control Panel.

Hope this helps.

M11x r2 play starcraft 2

I just recently bought a Alienware M11x R2. I installed Starcraft 2 and whenever I play the game on 1v1, 5-8 minutes into the game the screen freezes and the whole laptop crashes and switches off, then switches back on like it just got restarted. All the setting in the game are at the lowest setting they can be.



Does this happen to anyone else?

Can someone please tell me whats wrong with the M11x?

Is their a stronger, more powerful graphics card I can install into this Alienware M11x R2?

What can I do to successfullly run Starcraft 2 on this M11x?



Thanks for helping me.

Are you overclocking in the BIOS?

Reply 2 : M11x r2 play starcraft 2

there shouldn't be any problem running sc2, I run mine on med-high with 4vs4 and i get 25-29 fps through out the game.



Which drivers are you using and do you have it white-listed?

Reply 3 : M11x r2 play starcraft 2

Did you update your Bios, update your graphics drivers, and whitelist SC2 so that it plays with the 335m and not the intel graphics card?

To be honest, I am a novice at computers. If you dont mind explaining me everything in detail and how to do everything, I would greatly appreciate it.



I dont know what "Whitelist" and I dont know what is BIOS or how to access it.



Yes I did update my drivers and my Nvidia card from downloading the updates drivers off of Dell.com



I have the Alienware M11x R2. The "R2" does not have the "Binary change" button on "F6." So I dont exactly know how to change from intel graphics card to nvidia graphics card, and vice versa.



SC2 at lowest graphics is not working for me, i dont know why.



I do not know how to "Over-clock" my system, so if someone can please tell me how to do that to, it would be nice to know for M11x R2.



I have the following in my computer:



Intel Core i7CPU U640 @ 1.20 GHz 1.20 GHz

4.00 GB installed RAM

Windows 7 home edition 64-bit operating system

Intel(R) HD Graphics

NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M

300GB SSD





Thank you everyone for helping me out with this problem.

Reply 5 : M11x r2 play starcraft 2

The simplest troubleshooting step would be to create a shortcut to SC2 on your desktop if you've not done so already. Right click on it and higlight the "run with graphics processor" option then select "high performance NVIDIA processor" and see what happens.

Reply 6 : M11x r2 play starcraft 2

definitely read up on this thread for white listing:



M11x R2 NVidia Optimus Issues/Whitelisting Problems



and this one for overclocking:

How to Supercharge the M11x with Core i5/i7 UM CPUs





as for SC2 - read the whitelist thread (and youtube video), follow instructions and see if your problem persists. Other than that, SC2 was huge for threads back in July when it released, most info is found there (And subsequent threads) for the best settings.



Enjoy (btw, nice 300gbSSD)

Yes sir I did exactly what you said and about 5-8 minutes into a 1v1 sc2 game at low settings, the screen freezes and the computer crashes and restarts. I had done 3 attempts and all 3 times it crashed.

Others here will help you, but just fyi SC2 runs great on the m11xr2, so it's a software issue, not the laptop to worry about. You can get by playing the game with stock cpu speeds by updating your nvidia driver, but if more fps is important to you then you will need to overclock your cpu in the bios, preferably at the highest stable settings.

I just used the "Can you run it?" From nvidia.com, and it says that my m11x r2 has only 1.2ghz and sc2 requires 2.6ghz.

How do I increase the GHz in m11x?

BIOS virus?

I recently reformatted my friend's computer that was riddled with viruses, etc. The virus protection installed on it had been hijacked by a virus, so the computer was totally open to anything and everything for months at least. After reformatting and rebooting a few times, the computer was running fine. However, a few days later after rebooting, the hard drive stopped reading entirely. It doesn't show up in the bios at all. The pc is a newer model Asus bought within the last couple of years, so it makes me doubt hardware failure. Also, from my understanding, even if a hard drive fails, it is typically still readable. I haven't been able to check out the pc yet myself, but as soon as I do, I'll make all the usual checks for connections, etc. The pc was also not touched after reformatting, so theres no reason why it should be a loose connection. I'm aware that biosviruses are very rare, but being as it was totally exposed over a long period of time with constant internet connection, I consider it a possibility. I've also not heard this to be a symptom of any bios viruses, but I do hear they can easily leave a pc totally incapacitated. Thoughts, suggestions, ideas are greatly appreciated.

Reply 1 : BIOS virus?

Well, it's looking like hard drive failure is the most likely problem. Will update when I get a chance to check it out.

disable and limit the extern USB drive connect to Mac

I do not want to the external USB drive can connect to MAC.
Or just only allow a size less than 4G usb external drive to connect to Mac other size greate than 4G do not allow .
How can I do it ???
Please advice

Reply 1 : disable and limit the extern USB drive connect to Mac

The short answer is this is not possible. The longer answer is that it would be a significant amount of work, and even then, would be less than 100% effective. Maybe if you were connected to an LDAP server running Mac OS X Server, but probably not even then.

Both Windows and Mac OS X are designed around the idea of making things easy for the user, not necessarily allowing an administrator to lock things down.

Mac Office applications

I will be using a Mac 3,1 with OSX 10.6.6. I am wondering if anyone has run Neooffice and compared it to MS Office for Mac and how each are different (strengths and weaknesses). I have MS Office 07 on my windows machine and I have seen that the writer (MS word equivalent) is comparable, but excel is ahead compared to the simple Calc (i believe that is excel on openoffice) which lags behind. Is that the same case for Neo Office?





Also, are there any good resources for a person to learn about Macs as I am a windows guy.

Reply 1 : Mac Office applications

Neo Office is a fork of open office. It is typically a bit behind the newest version of open office/ libre office.

Reply 2 : Mac Office applications

You will also run into issues if you go with anything other than MS Office when opening Excel files that have specific macros. I am not sure if you use macros or not but I do for my job and they are compatible with Excel only. OpenOffice, iWork, Neo Office, etc. don't work with them leaving with nice, big, empty cells.

As for macros, I haven't used them yet and I don't think I would in the future but I guess it is nice to know about the problem.

Little underside case mod = Big temp decrease

Ok was thinking to myself that my UMBP got way too damn hot. and was getting tired of the heat. So I started out just taking the bottom of the notebook case off and blowing it out. Then I started looking at it more closely, the fans have no direct access to fresh air intake. Yes I know the speakers/keyboard are meant for that. But the tinkerer in me fired up the drill press and with a 11/32 bit started making some small holes areound the fan intake and ram. Well my MBP now runs so much cooler before I was running 44-55C on mbp just idling and light web browsing. No I am so so happy to say my MBP is running at 35-40C. That is significant decrease in temps.



Will post some pics later.



I do not recommend this to anyone. I have a second bottom case and did this entirely as an experiment.

Reply 1 : Little underside case mod = Big temp decrease

Man, are those holes ugly... but they once again show how the unibody sucks for heat dissipation.



I'd put some sort of wire net or something over them to make sure nothing large gets in...



The only vent is it at the back, and you are right, there is no proper air flow in there. Actually, in the 17-inch unibody matte option, that heat flowing out the back screws with the screen backlight, giving you two dark patches up the screen, perfectly aligned with the two main fans. With the glass display, the glass mostly negates the effect of this.



I commend you on drilling your unibody case. A rare feat. They are, however, expensive to replace, although they cost Apple very little.

Reply 2 : Little underside case mod = Big temp decrease

its a good idea/way of cooling your macbook but many people wont drill a hole into their macbook.



have you tried using arctic silver 5 (thermal compound) on your macbook?

it usually lowers temps by 4-5degrees in most laptops as it helps get rid of heat better.

its very cheap and probably wont void your warranty and you dont need to drill into your 1800 laptop.

They sure are ugly. But hey get the job done and after the issues I have had trying to get Apple to fix it i figured what the hell. I have some mesh I use on my snowmobile air intake that I think will work wonders there. I will get that installed once I get abck to canada next week.



I have another lower case with no holes. And they are easy to change out. If warranty works need taking care, of a simple swap is all I have to do.

Well Artic silver will void your warranty also, so really it is a toss up. But because I have another lower case I figured what the hell, it's worth a shot.

Glad this thread got started. Just purchased a 1530 dell, and downloaded the demo for FSX. Want to get FSX but was not sure on how it would run on a 8600GT.



The demo seemed to run fairly smoothly with all settings set to High. Was not sure if this was because of the demo, or if FSX was not the resource hog it was rumored to be. Would love to get some input before buying FSX on the type of settings I could run with the XPS. On a side note, I just played a little bit on overclocking the 8600GT on 3dmark 06 and was able to get a 5400 with the core at 550 and the mem at 810.

good post, you have some good links there.... been messing around with flight sim since the DOS days, still remember when flight sim 4 came out and i couldn't wait to get a copy, good stuff.... It's always been my benchmark for when to upgrade, and have spent a fair bit of cash to keep all the latest versions running properly... loved every minute though, even back when I upgraded from 1 MB to 2MB of VRAM or added a math CO-Processor to my 386DX cpu to get better frames per second... Currently have FSX running great on my Toshiba X205, love it! Great piece of software, tried all the others (Xplane, etc) over the years, but none other have ever overly impressed me.

Reply 9 : * * OFFICIAL Flightsim thread * *

FSX does run fairly smooth on the 8600m gt.. but remember it's also a processor hog and SP1 is most advantageous if you have a dual core.



default FSX is pretty much way better than default FS2004, but with my addons , fs2004 looks even better than fsx and performs silky smooth. but i do miss some features of FSX.. maybe i will install both.



fsx alone also takes up 15gigs on hd !



FS2004 with A LOT of addons including GIGS of scenery takes up 8gigs on my HD





add fs2004.com to that list! .. good forum topics

Surprise! Not all USB port drivers are the same!

I was having connectivity issues with a USB WIFI network adapter on a Windows 7 eMachine pc, so I decided to see about upgrading the drivers. Eventually found an upgrade that worked well. Then it finally dawned on me that depending on which USB port I used, (the pc box has 2 in the front and 4 in the back) different drivers and settings were being utilized. The 2 in the front had the correct and latest drivers, while the 4 in the back were not working at all, or with an earlier driver, and the speed was less and spradic. This really surprised me! I had thought that once a driver for any device is installed, the device will install itself and work the same in all the other USB ports! NOT true! Why isn't this a well known fact?

So I decided to upgrade the rear USB ports network adapter drivers to match the front USB's, only this time I ran into a hitch. In the device manager, rather than just selecting "Update Driver" and picking my path through to the correct location I had placed the latest and greatest driver files, I decided to "Uninstall" first. Big mistake, I'm guessing.

After the uninstall I updated the drivers the same way and path as I did in the front; but now I am getting the yellow warning flag in device manager on the adapter: "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)" In the Details tab, under the property "Install Error", the value I get is "The required line was not found in the INF. E0000102" But which .inf file? There are half a dozen of them utilized, and all seem to be fine.

I know I could just restore to an earlier time, but I'm trying to find out what has happened. Any thoughts?

Reply 1 : Surprise! Not all USB port drivers are the same!

that the port itself actually needs.

Some (if not most) computers have both 1.1 and 2.0 (and some 3.0) USB hubs that power the accessible port you plug your peripheral into - they will not accept drivers that aren't compatible.

Looking at your device manager shold have showed you both open host controllers and enhanced controllers which should have been a helpful clue to you BEFORE making your mistake.

The wifi adapter has ITS OWN DRIVERS which are seperate from the USB drivers and not to be confused with them.

Suggest you either roll back the drivers to what worked or restore to just before your experimentation.

Reply 2 : Surprise! Not all USB port drivers are the same!

I think I may have written my original post poorly.

I did not touch (or update) any of the USB controller drivers, they all work fine.

I'm only trying to get the same newest wifi network adapter drivers updated and working in all 6 usb ports, so that no matter which port I stick the wifi network adapter into, it will work the same way, with the same wifi network adapter drivers and versions installed.

What surprised me was that Device Manager showed me different wifi network adapter drivers and versions installed, depending on which port I stuck the wifi network adapter in! Some wifi network adapter drivers in the back were Microsoft, some were Ralink. Some wifi network adapter drivers were 2009 versions, some 2010. All were different, depending on where I put the wifi adapter! Some worked , some didn't, some poorly. Any other usb device stuck into any of the usb ports, i.e. webcam, mouse, usb speakers, flash disks, all work fine and the same no matter which port I picked. It's only the wifi network adapter that has differences. Why?

I can stick the wifi network adapter into either of the 2 front ports, and it's fine.

Now if I try sticking it into the back ports, I get the yellow warning flag on the wifi network adapter icon in the device manager, with the "not able to load drivers required" warning, even though I used the same path to update the drivers as I had when the adapter was in the front ports. What I had done different, was when I had the adapter in any of the 4 rear ports originally was select the "Uninstall - to uninstall the driver(Advanced)" button first before selecting the "Update - To update the driver for this device" button on the driver tab for the wifi adapter.

ASUS X52F-X2 Can this be upgraded?

Hi all,

New to laptops and bought this one (my first lappy) as a backup machine and I love it. Came with an i3 processor. As my specs show I have no idea what it has for a motherboard or who makes it. The memory modules are a mystery too as I don't who makes them just they are 4GB of DDR3. Just wondering though can it be upgraded, and what are the possibilities for this machine? It's still under warranty so I won't open it up yet.

Thanks,

Jakeman97

Reply 1 : ASUS X52F-X2 Can this be upgraded?

You can run CPUz and that should tell you the brand of ram.

ASUS probably made the motherboard, but I'm not sure.



I think you should be able to upgrade the CPU to any dual core of the same gen as your i3 (but you have to stick to moblie CPUs, make sure the socket matches).



HDD should be easy to upgrade (Would be nice to get an SSD).



If you have intel graphics, you wont be able to upgrade that.



If you want to take the whole upgrading thing really far, you can upgrade the screen. This would be a harder than a ram/hdd/cpu upgrade.

Reply 2 : ASUS X52F-X2 Can this be upgraded?

Thank you moral hazard for the info. I'll start looking things up now.

jakeman97

Reply 3 : ASUS X52F-X2 Can this be upgraded?

If it is anything like my K52f then the i7 will work.

Reply 4 : ASUS X52F-X2 Can this be upgraded?

The CPU can actually be upgraded on this machine, and it will take one of the dual core i7 processors. As Hazard mentioned, just be sure to get one of the mobile processors that fits the socket. As for the memory, it can take up to 8 GB of RAM (2 slots). You can always upgrade things like the hard drive relatively easily as well.

I haven't detatched the keys on my alienware yet, but the keyboard feels just like the one on my old acer.



Asuming that its like my acer:

Just detatch the key completely, and you will see that there is a metal bar/hinge.

You need to slide this hinge into place (its pretty obvious to see where it goes), and after that you click the spacebar into place (it should give 2 clicks, one from each side).

VcmMgrNotification64.exe

After updating windows through automatic updates, this error message has appeared everytime I open any program. "VcmMgrNotification64.exe - System Error. The program can't start because ATL100.DLL is missing from you computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Currently using Windows 7 Premium Home Edition on Sony Vaio.
Erm any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Reply 1 : VcmMgrNotification64.exe

Seems to be a Sony program: http://systemexplorer.net/db/vcmmgrnotification64.exe.html
The dll is from Microsoft, but probably came with that Sony program: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kche8ah.aspx

Two ways to handle this:
1. Reinstall that Sony software from the CD.
2. See if it still present in the folder mentioned in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4183599/visual-studio-2010-doesnt-start-missing-atl100-dll. If so, register it again.
3. If not present, see if you can download it from some unofficial site or copy it from another PC.

It's unlikely this is related to Windows update, however. Maybe you used some registry cleaner?

How to recover partition on my mac?

I have no idea why partitions on my mac disappeared. Maybe it is overwritten or damaged by a virus. I have spent all day searching the internet for solutions. Much software is suggested to help and I chose Nice to Recover Data for Mac. Frankly speaking, it can truly recover the partitions and the data on them but I can open them. Anything I did wrong with it? How to use it properly? Can anyone tell me?

Linux hates my machine? Unable to install.

Ok, I've dabbled in Linux a few times in the past, but it was on different computers than what I'm using now. Before, I was able to install/dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04 just fine. Now, however, I am unable to install (at least patiently) any version/spinoff of Ubuntu (possibly other distros too).

I first wanted to try PinguyOS. I didn't have any CDs so I used UNetBootin to copy the ISO to my flash drive. I was able to boot into it successfully, but when I tried to install PinguyOS to my drive alongside Windows 7 I ran into some issues. After choosing Install, I can choose my language, then when I click Forward, I get the spinning pinwheel which indicates loading. Except it lasts forever. A few times I've managed to get to at least the portion to choose a partition, but I backed out of it because it was taking too long.

First off, I have two 500gb WD HDD in a RAID 0 configuration. I partitioned off 30gb which is unallocated space to be used for Linux. After my multiple failed attempts at installing PinguyOS, I tried Ubuntu 10.10. Same problem. It takes FOREVER to even get passed choosing a language. I never even got to choose a partition. In fact, I would click the buttons to download updates, click forward, and it would sit. For hours. Nothing ever happened.

So, is there something wrong here? I didn't have these issues before on previous computers. I don't see why it takes so long to go between menu screens to install Linux. I understand it may take awhile to recognize a 1tb HDD, but it shouldn't take hours on end.

Note: This is a custom computer I built, running 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. All hardware is compatible with 64 bit and I attempted to install Linux 64 bit distros.

Any ideas? Sorry for the length and if you need specifications let me know. Thanks!

Download the ISO and burn it to a CD or CD-RW.

On the infected PC change the start order to get the PC to start from the CD first in the boot order. The Rescue CD has a from of Linux on it. So it should boot as you are not going to Windows.

It might do the trick. As I have not heard of that rouge so I cannot be sure.

HP notebook lagging

Hi,

My notebook starts lagging when I'm watching videos (on YouTube), browsing the internet and when I'm playing a video game.

The temperature is getting higher (~46 degree Celsius) when I run a program which has high graphical requirement. (measured by Hard Disk Sentinel)

When I put it on the charger the lagging stops for 1-2 minutes but it starts again.

Could anyone help me? Could anyone recommend a program (or programs) to fix this problem?

Thank you very much in advance.

OS: Windows XP
Notebook: HP Compaq 6720s

Reply 1 : HP notebook lagging

but note I am no expert.

First thing, your note that "when I'm watching videos (on YouTube), browsing the internet and when I'm playing a video game". Did you mean 'and' as in, all three together? If so, you may be pushing this machine too far.

But even if not, what about this Windows XP? Did this notebook come with XP pre-installed, or with Vista Home Basic or Vista Business? The reviews I see show this HP Compaq 6720s to be a Vista machine targeted at the business market as a budget notebook. So it is not designed for heavy video work. But if you removed Vista and installed XP, where did you get all the XP drivers from?

The graphics card, the Intel GMA X3100 is a shared memory card. It shares the system's RAM, so any heavy video, (films or games), is going to tax it if you are using any other software at the same time.

The typical processor is a 1.6 Ghz dual core, and that again is going to work hard.

All of this hard work is going to increase the temperature, and no software apps can fix that.

It seems you are running these games and/or films off the battery. That will put pressure on the battery immediately, and that might also be a reason for the running hot that you are experiencing.

Make sure all air vents are free of dust and are clear of obstruction.

When you are watching videos or playing games, reduce all other open applications to zero if you can. That might free up RAM.

Internet lagging can be a different cause, from malware infection to slow internet connection, to too many browser add-ons, and so on, but that is part of the normal experience of using and maintaining Windows' systems, so no need to go into detail of that here.

All in all this seems a good little notebook, but it is, after all, just a notebook and is not going to win any sprint races.

Take care of it and it should do you well for those business uses it was designed for.

Mark

Reply 2 : HP notebook lagging

Thanks for your reply.

I removed Vista and installed Windows XP. I don't know where I got the drivers.

The processor is 2.0 Ghz dual core. I'm not doing everything at the same time (playing & watching videos)

I just had igxpdx32.dll crash.. I don't know what it means. There might be something wrong with the video driver.

Thank you for your reply again

Help me choose an Alienware laptop for grad school

So I will be joining grad school later this year (hopefully) and I was wondering if I should go with the Alienware m11x R1 or R2 or the base model Alienware m15x with the Core i3 processor. I will be using laptop for gaming, programming, photoshopping and random web designing. Thanks in advance

Reply 1 : Help me choose an Alienware laptop for grad school

Here are some comments Ive made about m11x performance ect from other threads if they help:



"dude honestly just buy the r1 and save 400 dollars...or if you have one dont upgrade its not worth it!! i am playing all my games on an r1 at high or max settings with very decent (25-40) fps and my temps stay in the low 50s even with the gpu and cpu overclocked! Benchmark results for gaming consistently show only around a 5 to 8 fps increase between the lowest and highest end m11x and some games the core2duo actually outperforms the i7! Dont waste your money..."





"Ive watched a full 1080p trailers on youtube and it is very speedy, slight buffering but if you give it a ten second head start or so it shouldnt catch up. (this has more to do with internet speed anyways) I dont really work too much with powerpoint but that shouldnt cause you any problems and I leave multiple firefox windows and do other things while they are open with 0 slowdown. I cant imagine youd be disappointed with the speed and if you do find that it isnt multitasking at the level you want it to you can always upgrade to 8 gb of ram down the road. If you feel like you will be doing such intense multitasking (music, hi res videos, HUGE image files, IE, powerpoint and want to be able to do these things simultaneously than you may want to save up some more money for an i5 or an i7.



I dont want to guarantee you anything because Id hate you to order and then be disappointed but think of it this way...if you get it, and it doesnt perform as you like, you have ninety days to return for a refund."





This is all just my personal opinion and is only based on my experiences. Obviously the m15x is going to be a better machine but is larger and much more expensive. Your decision needs to be based on the intensity of the photo editing, designing, programming ect. If it is all very casual than the r1 should be plenty and also save you a bundle of cash.

Reply 2 : Help me choose an Alienware laptop for grad school

Get the R1 refurbished with a floating 15% coupon from Dell Outlet.



Invest in an additional year of support if you want, make sure to get a nice large external monitor for all that programming. I use a 23" on my desktop @ 1920x1080 and the m11x has no problem running output to this.



You'll want the m11x because lugging anything else around to class is going to be weird and a hassle. Plus, for only $400 from the outlet, you have the money for the extra screen and whatever.

Reply 3 : Help me choose an Alienware laptop for grad school

R1 from the outlet along with the coupon is a great deal, however I don't think it'll do fair well on photoshop (I haven't tried it on mine yet). Might wanna look @ the R2 in the outlet.

Reply 4 : Help me choose an Alienware laptop for grad school

Terrible advice and much false information in this thread, despite the best of intentions. Much of the usage you've outlined is sufficiently broad enough that an m11x r1 -might- adequately meet your needs.



However, if "photoshopping" ( your only specific), means running cs5 you will find the m11x r1 to be a frustrating performer relative to it's cost. This is particularly true if you shoot in raw or plan to do much video encoding. You should also plan to add an exterior monitor as the gamut on the m11x is pretty low, and the screen size is really tough to work on.



An i3 equipped m15x will handle cs5 more effectively and eliminates the neccesity of an external monitor, though you may still decide to use one.



If you get into the specific games/programs you plan to use and how heavily you plan to use photoshop you'll get some really solid advice here.



For many the m11x r1 is the perfect machine. Hey, some people just play WoW while others only play crysis. It all comes down to what YOU need to do with it.

You can swap the cpu and gpu in the m15x in about 30 minutes. Youtube has a few videos that will take you step by step through replacing the gpu. Check the m15 boards, there was a thread on the front page about this issue in the last day or so.

Reply 8 : Help me choose an Alienware laptop for grad school

Well I wouldnt call any of the advise here "terrible" advise as above poster states. What I said before "Your decision needs to be based on the intensity of the photo editing, designing, programming ect. If it is all very casual than the r1 should be plenty and also save you a bundle of cash." which Augusta basically just restated using more words. Keep in mind the sizes of the laptops. The m15x is a large laptop, over 10 lbs with the power adapter. If you are running around during the day going to classes, ect you may want to consider what it will be like lugging that bulky beast around with you. I dont have an r2 but I think that an r2 with an i7 processor and 8 gigs of ram should perfectly meet you performance needs and portability needs. Here is a link to a cs5 benchmark done with the r2. It scores very well:

Wanted to also comment that I have read user reviews from students using the m-series laptops as classroom laptops having lots of trouble with the glossy screen under bright classroom fluorescent lights. They make anti glare guards but alot of them use speckling which is known to give some people headaches and motion sickness when reading text. (doesnt do this for me but for some people it does) so just consider the fact that depending on your lecture/classroom environment you may be seeing alot of yourself in the "mirror".

M15x + Razer Mamba = issues

Has anyone used the Razer Mamba with the M15x?



I installed the lastest drivers from Razer's website. I also downloaded the firmware updater from Razer's website. The first problem that I noticed was at the end of the firmware update process, it gave me an error. But once I disconnected and reconnected the mouse, it let me finish the process. Now the real issue that I'm having is every time I press button 5 (sensitivity up, default) a window pops up that says "Notify !" "BinaryGFX access detected. Choose Yes to enable or No to Cancel." From what I can tell BinaryGFX is a feature to cut power consumption by using the onboard video instead of using the high performance graphics card. Does the new M15x even have this feature, I thought it was only on the older area 51. What's weird is Fn+F7 is the button press to bring up BinaryGFX, but when I press that I get nothing. Even though it triggers BinaryGFX, it still increases sensitivity, so it seems to me like somehow the these mouse buttons on the are just combo button presses, that Alienware already has allocated to trigger something else.



Also when I press button 6 on the mouse (sensitivity down, default) it triggers the Alienware command center. I haven't tried this in game yet, but even basic windows/websurfing is a PITA with this mouse right now.



Any suggestions?



Edit: Everything else on the mouse seems to be working correctly, though.

Reply 1 : M15x + Razer Mamba = issues

That's the same case with M17x + Mamba.

and it's not really an issue for me since I never had the need to adjust sensitivity on the fly.

If everything else is working fine, just enjoy the amazing mouse!

Reply 2 : M15x + Razer Mamba = issues

all you have to do is disable the osd_main.exe or stop osd from starting up using ccleaner. then ur buttons will work fine. works for me.. but it might cause problems for the touch strip. i dont really use it so its better for me to have a working up and down sensitivity lvl than the touch strip

Reply 3 : M15x + Razer Mamba = issues

How do you adjust the volume while gaming if needed then?

Can it be done via Mamba?

Reply 4 : M15x + Razer Mamba = issues

I use the mamba too with no issues, I just plug it in and use it. I never update the driver. maybe uninstall your new driver. not sure if you can use it to adjust volume.

Thanks for the heads up, I got a Mamba arriving tomorrow. Glad I caught this thread in time.

Reply 6 : M15x + Razer Mamba = issues

yeah be very careful about updating the driver for the mamba, you can brick it very easily. I suggest don't update at all, just plug and play. All functions should work without any updates. I bricked 2 mambas doing the update, it would start updating and freeze and you will have a bricked mamba. Lucky I got mine at a local store, and the let me return it.

Reply 7 : M15x + Razer Mamba = issues

im not sure if u can change the buttons to increase and decrease volume but it doesnt really matter to me. u can try disabling osd and see if the volume control on the touchstrip works. i havent tried it but im guessing it will work but there will be no pop up on the screen showing the volume icon

Reply 8 : M15x + Razer Mamba = issues

Thanks for the comments. I'll be contacting Razer about this. There's no reason a high end gaming mouse that costs $130 shouldn't be compatible with a high end gaming laptop. Considering most customers of Alienware products are going to buy gaming mice, they should make it a top priority to make sure drivers and functionality allow the mouse to work as designed.

Reply 9 : M15x + Razer Mamba = issues

Mine must have come with the update cos straight out of the box with no drivers installed my Sensitivity Up button gives the error as described and Sensitivity Down changes output screen like pressing Fn+F6.



Does not really bother me since I never change sensitivity but hitting change screen mid game could be troublesome...



Edit: Have installed software and still got the same issues so I've remapped the buttons to ctrl and shift for use in games. No weirdness when I press them now.

Old JVC GR-AX30 can't turn off MUTE

I have an old JVC GR-AX30 videocam which I was using to move old tapes to DVD. I must have hit some switch because suddenly the videocam started to show an image of a speaker with a line through it (presume that it means that I turned on Mute). I can find NO way to turn it off but with it on, the sound doesn't transfer to the DVD. I've checked previous tapes that I transferred with sound and they too are muted so it isn't the tape.

HELP - Does anyone have any experience with these old JVCs that can tell me how to turn it off?

windows update

The windows update for my windows vista os has updates for third party drivers such as NVIDIA and LSI soft modem. How safe is it for me to download these drivers rather than searching for them at their websites myself?

Reply 1 : windows update

Microsoft does NOT produce drivers for third party devices. If you want drivers for your hardware, visit the computer manufacturer's website or visit the specific device manufacturer's website for that hardware.. Download drivers from there..

And more importantly, if your current device and drivers are working correctly, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".. On these forums, we've seen way too many problems with the drivers recommended by Windows Updates.

Hope this helps.

Thinking about exchanging my 2011 13" i7 for 13" i5 (virtualization question)

Will the difference in the 13" procs pose any difference in performance when I'm using my VM's? Right now, I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate for my torrenting and media needs and I was thinking about running BackTrack Linux to dive into some white hat hacking. Advice absolutely appreciated. Thinking about exchanging laptops first thing in the morning, a student's budget is tight nowadays.

Reply 1 : Thinking about exchanging my 2011 13" i7 for 13" i5 (virtualization question)

You shouldn't run into issues in going with the Core i5 13" MBP. Both processors in the 13" MPB are very capable and still ahead of last year's dual-core Core i7 15" and 17" MBP models. The only reason I went with the Core i7 model is that the Intel IGP can overclock higher on it (I think by about 300MHz), the i7 itself can overclock to a faster rate, and I wanted my notebook to come with at least a 500GB hard drive. Factor in those costs and the extra $300 was worth it for me.



I have a friend that went with the Core i5 13" MBP and he likes it, no performance issues under Parallels (though you are using VM, performance should be similar). He routinely has Windows 7 Home Premium up with SigmaPlot along with MATLAB and Excel open in Mac OS X without experiencing performance hiccups.

Reply 2 : Thinking about exchanging my 2011 13" i7 for 13" i5 (virtualization question)

Do you need VT-d?



The i5 (which is apparently a 2410M, although Apple try not to let on) doesn't have that instruction set.



It also doesn't do Trusted Execution, if you need that. All the other differences just relate to cache, clock speed & such.

Organizing home videos and photos

http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3864

Great machine, I wished I had the cash to pick one up at the time.



There is definitely more than one 8710w owner on these forums, I have seen a few people with it in their signature.

Compare this to the 8730w reviewed here and you see how times have changed. Still a great notebook nonetheless.

Reply 2 : HP 8710w Owners' Lounge

My wife has an 8710p, the SKU was a 1650x1080 brightview (glossy display coupled with the nVidia 320m) and it even shipped with a bluetooth pccard mouse. This is the only 8710 SKU I have seen with this screen and the mouse. I have an 8710w with the fx1600. Yeah they were great laptops but the video on both sucked immensly for 3D gaming. WoW would artifact like mad and boththe 320 and the fx1600 would get crazy hot in no time flat. I also have an HP Probook 4710s with lowly ATI 4330 graphics and while it doesn't get the crazy mad fps the nVidia quadros get, it stomps along, all day long playing WoW without a hitch and without crazy mad heat.

Reply 4 : HP 8710w Owners' Lounge

I got one last year for around $600 brand new.



Great laptop. I like the 1920x1200 resolution and the overall quality of construction.

Specs are obviously out dated but it's still good.



So far I've upgraded to 4GB of RAM, 500GB HD, Blu-ray burner and dual heatpipe GPU cooler.



I've been looking to upgrade the 1600M with either the 3600M or 3700M.

The 3600M seems to be a straight swap.

The 3700M works also, but it seems to have problems with BIOS. It recognizes only 256MB of RAM and the clock speeds are lower. Some have also reported problems booting and/or no image on screen.



If anyone has found solutions for these issues, please be sure to post.

I'd like to get a 3700M, but I need to know if the issues have been resolved.

The fan on my 8710w would frequently speed up and slow down, even during light work.

It happened when I updated the BIOS. It was very annoying so I went back to the older BIOS and now it's back to normal.

Panasonic FZ100 Bridge camera

I recently bought this camera and after a few trips out I am getting some very acceptable pictures. Apart from the normal family photos my main interest is wildlife, especially birds. The optical zoom on this model is 24x -with a little tweaking this can be slightly extended. Accessories listed include a convertor and lense and at a price of approx150+ I would appreciate advice from someone who has used this kit with this camera before I invest. Are there any problems and is there much extra weight and what about the quality of photos and what would the acceptable range be. I know a DSLR might be the answer but due to medical problems I like to travel as light as possible and spend more time in the fields rather than hides. Any help please. TWC.

Everything went fine even after multiple reboots and updated the WEI score. The switchable graphics works as usual with the Intel GMA Mobile Driver...but looks Acer stayed at version v8.15.10.1872 for most of the files for Intel.



As a reminder the last 4810TZG is the version of x64 VGA ATI Pilote v8.652.1
