See the attached link (loads a PDF). If you follow the instructions but substituting UK English and going down to the Keyboard subsection and completing your settings there, maybe you'll restore everythin and have a quick recovery methid if it happens again. I've had this before and I do know …

So, is it back to normal or do you have a problem still?

"A few beeps" is the message telling you the problem. The Dell service manual tells you what the beep sequence means. It also tells you what the LEDs mean. You can also find this stuff on: [url]http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/wsT3500/en/SM/diags.htm#beep[/url]

You can download from Microsoft a 32 bit version of Internet Explorer and you run that instead of IE 64 bit.

Yes - your theory is correct. 64 bit programs reside in [I]Program Files[/I] and 32 bit programs in [I]Program Files(X86)[/I]. This structure supports the virtual machine mode used by 32 bit programs. Hope that answers your question adequately.

There is none.

The causes on a CRT are likely to be any of the following: - VGA cable problem or pin bent on connector or not fully puished in. - Decayed component for the complementary colour. - Video card is failing (unlikely) The VGA plug into one end is usually the reason. …

The only thing you didn't say you did was to short the CMOS where the expected POST configuration is stored. That could explain your first problem. I know you had the CMOS battery out but I only believe in shorting the CMOS as a means of clearing it. Then the …

It looks like Mcafee or something might have detected and removed a trojan, the evidence being: O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file) The trojan may have done some system file damage. I therefore recommend two steps: 1/ Download and run anti-malware bytes from the below URL. …

3 Beeps means a memory test has failed. You could go into BIOS setup (with the old memory properly installed) and see whether is an ECC memory option. I don't see how the wrong sort of memory can screw the whole thing up. It may be that your CMOS has …

Based on what you've said, the next step after opening the laptop and you see the Ctrl+Alt+Del message, press and hold for about 3 seconds your power switch to force the laptop off. Then turn on and let it boot normally or into the Windows option screen. If it then …

Is the cable properly seated? Is this a DVI or VGA connected monitor? If VGA (as I suspect) and if your monitor graphics card support DVI, how does it behave with DVI used? Does another monitor do the same? It's all a process of elimination.

Also, to back up kaninelupus' rant, these [I]boot up time [/I] threads are useless unless firm measurement rules are set. It only matters if we have benchmark conditions and one person could volunteer to do this. Otherwise it's a totally useless and pointless exercise. Anyone disagree?

You have to tell us everything about your ISP setup. ISP name Modem name Router name & model Router settings (WAN & Wireless)

Do you have a question?

[QUOTE=cbvignesh;961889]i checked and cleaned all viruses but it did not start in normal mode[/QUOTE] Damage already done by the virus. Windows needs to be repaired.

You could go back to the system restore point before Vista was updated and see if it works (as it presumably did before) You would go into [I]Control Panel/System/System Protection[/I] Then go forward with the [I]System Restore[/I] button.

Could you please describe the sequence of what you do and when it happens? i.e What were you trying to get IE to do. Also your PC specification.

I keep both FF & IE on my computers to cross-check issues if one or the other fails.

It might be asking too much for others to tell [U]you[/U] the [B]risks[/B] of using specific OCX controls under Windows 7. The questions you ask about replacements for the unsupported OCXs is reasonable. Have you put the questions to Microsoft? On the principle of using unsupported OCXs, you'd be doing …

Oh for Chrissake!

Google the question. There's plenty out there to save my typing fingers.

Didn't you Google "opensource windows file explorer" and then try one/some of the offerings? And THEN let us have your recommendations.

[QUOTE=adcodingmaster;984372]u r telling me software similarity. i m nt asking for that. if u r noot able to answer then plz dnt reply.[/QUOTE] You are very rude. The difference in architecture is well described at Intel.com. Obviously Core-2 Duo is the better architecture.

You need to get rid of the BRAVIAX.EXE trojan. You can google it to find out what it does. In Windows\system32, look for that file and note its date, time and size. Look for similar files with a different name that may have been created at the same time, or …

Use the [I]repair[/I] function when you click on the connexion icon. That's the first step. You could also go to the CMD console and type IPCONFIG /ALL and provide the results back to us. It may well be about settings. I assume you're trying to connect via a working router.

Seems to me that Rik's on the right track. Your processor is a single core Pentium 64 bit CPU. Vista is fine with this CPU. When a program stops working and then others fall down too, there is something corrupted in Windows (e.g. Taskmanager). A trojan corrupts Windows either in …

[QUOTE=Junkle;983878]I have been having the same problem with my computer. I also seem to be running many of the same processes as you, and I'm fairly sure I have an infection. However, as I'm in school with no way to modify the router, I'm basically screwed. My computer gets to …

It's only by logging on to a server that you discover whether or not it is working correctly.

Is there any clue for you in this article: [url]http://www.interproinc.com/articles.asp?id=0301[/url] Search on the string "Bi-directional languages" where there is a potential explanation. What you do about it is another matter. I imaghine IE8 will behave in the same way. I don't know what would happen if you changed your language …

You could download Wireshark, see what comes out of one router in terms of the message frame and deduce what woukld come out of the second router. You'll know what the answer means in practice rather than us just telling you (and possibly lying!).

What do you want to use the PC for? Also if you want to go 64 bit (all mobos these sdays are 64 bit - so I'll assume you want to use the 64 bit OS), you should consider 8GB to take advantage of 64 bit. Then you can get …

You don't tell us enough. How are you trying to connect to the internet? These problems are usually router issue or configuration of your network card. So tell us a lot more please.

The buzzing normally changes if you change brightness/contrast. It should reduce buzz if brightness is turned up. I'll make an informed guess here. I think it's coincidence - you're running on low brightness so there's a buzz. But I can't ignore the UPS point. I'd bet that the UPS (maybe …

Logically, I'd say that either the PSU isn't delivering correctly to the MOBO or the MOBO itself or the CPU is stuffed. When you boot, the Boot ROM executes a sequence in the CPU. Fanns have to come on, Disks have to whirr and POST checks all that. If POST …

Can you restore to an even earlier version? It seems thast whatever's in your currently restored version is misbehaving. Have you tried manually downloading Vista SP2 and then running it?

Are they all 0x000000F7? When do they occur? Booting? Mid something? Mid what? On closedown? Is there a USB disk device attached when this happens?

You need to tell us more about your laptop to complete the picture and assess your theories. Disk size? Size of logical volumes (e.g. C:, D: )? Free space? RAM? Also you can take the HDD out, put it into a USB enclosure and get your files copied off via …

It's not clear what you're saying. I read the following: 1/ If you connect directly to the DSL modem, you're fine with the internet. 2/ If you reset both modem & router and connect via the router it works but only for a short time before going to local only. …

Is there a windows update icon in your task tray (bottom right)? If you haven't done updates for some time, it might be downloading a service pack.

I recommend that you run malwarebytes several times without doing anything else to ensure that the trojan's self replication features are defeated. You can expect still to have problems otherwise. Let us know. ADDED: Read this thread - it'll tell what might still be lurking. Read right to the bottom …

What is sluggish? What are the symptoms? What does Task Manager report in the CPU column for the top hitters? Is the disk light flashing all the time?

There is a straightforward reason. When you boot, default VGA video drivers based on the BIOS of your graphics card are used. That is because there is nothing else from Windows loaded at boot up. When Windows comes in, the real drivers take over and your HDMI display lights up. …

Hi Mahela As you know I've been dealing with your situation on the other thread. Rik's got it right, of course. I have two viewsonic monitors connected to my HD laptop. Neither monitor displays full HD so I have an equal comparison. The one connected by VGA has slightly duller …

[QUOTE=caperjack;979837]Maybe so, but I find that a vacuum doesn't suck off oily /cigarette dust[/QUOTE] Don't tempt me!

The only important fact in obtaining memory is the [B]PC2-4200[/B] label. Go to the shop, buy the RAM with that type description and all should work OK. The rest is just confusing blurb that doesn't help you get anything faster or better.

You know what people are going to say!Virus/Trojan if your problem lines up with expired anti-virus software. Do forgive me, but AVG is lightweight compared with, say Kaspersky or Mcafee. In making these remarks, I assume the following: Trojans reset registry settings, sometimes alter code or corrupt memory. If you …
