Keep tapping F8 when booting and choose Last Known Good Configuration

Next try Safe Mode then
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore
Pick an earlier day before the problem started

You either have a Trojan or Software that did not install properly

Acer Aspire One NetBook connection problem.?

Question from xinji374: Acer Aspire One NetBook connection problem.?
So my netbook has been acting up lately as the internet disconnects, and even if I restart the computer it doesn’t detect any signals. The connection light at the bottom right also stops flashing.

Thank You

Answer by Takumi
if the light stops then it could be that either
1. u have a virus
2. call ur ISP

and of coarse i really recommend u call ur internet service provider. they should help you out more seen that it mostly might be a connection problem with the internet that u have. i u have a modem, turn it off and turn it back on. also, check your firewall.

Q&A: HP C4500 Scanner problem?

Question from Kona: HP C4500 Scanner problem?
I’m at home now, so I have to use the wireless connection to connect to my dad’s printer/scanner. Its a C4580 Photosmart printer with a scanner on top (and I have a Macbook Pro). Basically, the scanner worked fine and scanned 8 pictures without problem, and then, it decides to shrink the area of what I wanted to scan from the picture, and tilts it about 45 degrees so its diagonal. I have no idea why it just started now.

This is what I’ve done so far, and nothing changed:

-got rid of a bunch of old files to clear up the memory
-restarted my computer
-turned the printer on/off
-closed and reopened HP photosmart studio

I have no idea what else I can do to make this stupid thing work correctly! It did give me a message about there “being no more memory” to save, so that’s why I trashed a lot of old files and deleted them.
Please help!

Answer by T-Bar
Check your viewer. Sometimes, the viewer will rotate the pic 45 degree and it looks smeared sort of. That is the problem when you exchange data between PC and Mac. Save the image as jpeg. That should solve the problem.

scanner problem with our program!?

Question from Ali m: scanner problem with our program!?
We have just setup a new scanner Kodak i1440 at our work. We use a program called laserfiche to scan our document. The problem is that lets say when we have the scan window open for the scanning process, once we close this window and click on the scan button so that the scanning window opens again, it will not. The actual CPU process for the LFSCAN.EXE (laserfiche scan) sits in the memory, unless you end task that by doing ctrl+alt+delete, the scan window will not open again! and this is an annoying process since we change folder often and we have to close the scan window to change folders since only one scan window is allowed to be open at once. we just bought a new computer too and tested the process on that one but still the same problem exists!any help?!

Dell CRT monitor problem.?

Question from jughead: Dell CRT monitor problem.?
The monitor came with a Dimension 2400. Lately a box keeps popping up in the middle of the screen. It’s a box for changing settings on the monitor, but you are not able to do much with it. Sometimes pressing exit on the monitor makes it go away, sometimes not. Sometimes it goes away on it’s own but it always comes back. It’s a real pain. Anyone know the cause and/or solution to this problem?
Thanks for the help guys, but how do I reset the monitor?

Q&A: What is the difference between a Netbook and a regular computer?

Question from Alyssa: What is the difference between a Netbook and a regular computer?
I’ve heard about netbooks before, and my cousins were playing with what looked like a tiny laptop. I asked my uncle what it was and he said a Netbook, then left. Thanks a lot uncle… any hoot, help please!

Popular answer:

Answer by Ellie
A netbook is a small portable laptop computer designed for wireless communication and access to the Internet.[1]

Primarily designed for web browsing and e-mailing, netbooks rely heavily on the Internet for remote access to web-based applications[2] and are targeted increasingly at cloud computing users who require a less powerful client computer.[3] Netbooks typically run either Windows XP or Linux operating systems[2] rather than more resource-intensive operating systems like Windows Vista.[4] The devices range in size from below 5 inches[5] to over 13,[6] typically weigh 2 to 3 pounds (~1 kg) and are often significantly cheaper than general purpose laptops at US$ 400,[2] with some even in the US$ 50–100 range.[7]

Excuse the footnote numbers. Lifted directly from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbook

notebook help
by jimw

Question from lag_time2: What Laptop or Notebook should I buy? I need advice from someone other than a salesperson.?
I’ve had a few desktops but never a laptop and know nothing about them. I want a laptop or notebook that I can travel in a motorhome or camping around the country and need it to be able to pick up internet like from wi-fi hotspots as I travel. Or maybe also be able to put an internet card into it when I have money. Of course nothing too expensive. Thanks a lot for your help.

Scanner problem with hp f4100?

Question from Sufuji: Scanner problem with hp f4100?
Well when i press the scan button it doesn’t work it’s as simple as that.
I tried fixing it and i found something that might be a problem, but don’t know how to fix it. I went to
Control Panel/ Hardware and Sound/ Scanner and Cameras
then i saw my scanner and when I look at my properties/ event
I see that the selected event and the choice was do nothing and i can’t click the other choices as they are filled out and can’t press it. Although there is Start this program and beside it it says no application are registered for this event. So my question is how do i fix it so that it works??
There is no Solution center icon I have on my desktop

Popular answer:

Answer by Fraud
There is no fxing to be done or anything. Just go to your Desktop. You would be having an icon Called Solution center. Click on It. The Menu will be having a SCAN button. In future scan all your photos/documents through this. Treat the single button scan on the machine as decor piece.
