« on: June 19, 2016, 05:14:57 am »

Hi,
               I almost ordered a hp laserset printer and it is just a thought that laser is in the name. Surfing the net , shows that laser emits rays that cause problems for lung and also parts of skin. The survey by environment specialists made HP to acknowledge the risk of particulate it creates, and also the at the time of mixing of granules inside the toner.
                  HP while acknowledges and says that it has appointed experts in this field for their support technology, also advised the consumers to reduce some specifications in their settings to 75 percent from 100 percent. Needless to add more
                    Now , May i get clues regarding using of Epson ecotank printer of uk, and the name of the printer that suits home users. The pages the inktank print and all that.
                    Should we disconnect the eco tank while not printing? say for few days.

                      As it is attached to the printer, i think , that no refill of cartridges are needed  and also there is no clogging of ink in the nozzles to dry the surface is present here. It is freedom from clogging of ink , i suppose. Please confirm this with your remark.
                       What is the price of base model in Rupees ?
                        I think it is a kind of storing ink outside the pinter or included and hidden within the printer. Pl confirm? Then how it works, if one is to understand it correctly without technical parlance?
When the use of ink in the jar is reduced , how it is getting filled to and to go to the printing surface , pl experts.

General Computer Support / (solved) printer is shown as unknown device. or is it some other device?

« on: June 09, 2016, 02:51:18 am »

Hi, my printer does not print . Whenever i insert the printer usb as a check, Usb malfunctioned and does not recognize message would popup. I will try to update the drivers, but it will say, driver is upto date.
                 I thought of replacing the device with a new printer cable usb.
                   Still , the same message does popup.
                      as the power to the printer comes, i thing that there is no problem with the power adapter, attached to the printer. How to get rid of it .                 
                           Moreover, when i went to printers page, it shows, the device is ready and online.
                           How to know the unknown device? Is it printer or some other things. But whenever i try to print, the print job would not finish. I had to use stalled printer repair to clear the spool files pending there. Is there any clue . Today, i changed the printer cable and when tried to plugging out and plug in then the usb malfunctioned popups again.

General Computer Support / (Solved) why win xp could not decode to actual pw, when win seven does show

« on: May 01, 2016, 09:45:53 pm »

hi, if one forgets the active passwords of their wifi, there are tools to recover it in windows seven. but in xp, eventhough there are some tools , it could not correctly change to text . why, even when online tools are failing in this regard.
                           if you attempt, thro online, then ofcourse, it does the work , but the resultant output in entire machine language, which no one could decipher.
                           is there a way to read the hexadecimal manually. normally it stores as sixty four digit, could you throw some light on how to decode these hex codes. i did not find any useful link to accomplish this task.
                         is it correct that hex is a two digit code, that has to be decoded. pl enlighten , experts

General Computer Support / So, prescan is for version after xp?

« on: April 02, 2016, 07:07:21 pm »

Hi, I think that prescan of xp is not possible for xp version.
             is the presumption correct. all other repairs are valid for xp. and if one selects, some repairs meant for higher versions, (selection of all repairs at the top) it will pass those to repair the remaining repairs?

General Computer Support / how to repair the programs already installed in win xp sp3

« on: March 22, 2016, 04:15:26 am »

Hi, Windows 7 have trouble shooter and you could fix many things . Windows xp only has add and remove program. Would all the programs, if click uninstall would alert repair or uninstall , so that uninstall could be avoided.
                For some programs, if there is no change, or repair is not available , how to repair those installation. There are programs which would have been installed at the time of buying , which would not be available for ready downloads. For ex. If you buy hp laptop, they give preinstalled programs of which would not be available even at their site. For example, a nero program preinstalled while it is bought, would not be available. But if repair action is available , it may be able to repair from the installed position at windows xp. I do not know much, but please tell me the cure.
                  Would all programs pop up change or uninstall menu, if you go to add and remove programs? Ofcourse, i had done minimum repairs on the system with windows repair tool.
                       Some programs do not run and popup error message like , unresponsive programs and windows have encountered some problem and need to close. Usually i have this in internet explorer. But few programs do pop up this kind of error message. What is the fix, could i repair those programs , without uninstalling

General Computer Support / Why it is always on install that i ultimately loose the hdd?

« on: March 15, 2016, 02:38:45 am »

Hi,
                     I had problem with mouse vanishing and nothing could be done stage. i thought that it is mouse problem, but not knowing that it is a cat problem.
                       I had tried all sorts of tricks, and the mouse vanishing trick by computer started happening without user request or consent.
                       I thought of repairing, but that could not be done.
                       i received errors so i thought of formatting my c: drive and then check it. In the first attempt, i failed to format the drive, but deleted the drive and started installing win 7.
                         There was some problem of hanging when i try to browse. Since i had not formatted, i tried again to install after deleting and formatting. I did notice a strange behavior . When i used the more options, i saw, some 2 extra drives of 1.0 size to the top and bottom of the  c: drive. I just ignored and then reformatted the c: drive.
                         Everything went well with expanding and then installing while configuring the windows, on second boot by install process, the computer hanged at mobo logo with no signs of any movement.
                        I had this on previous occasion, where i had lost the contents of new hdd.
                        so, i tried to unplug and replug the pata tape connections both at mobo side and hdd side. After replacing the pata with my available pata tape, i could get it past the mobo logo and then i got reboot select disk... error, clearly showing the hard disk is not recognized error.
                          i tried mobo battery change and shortcircuiting the mobo battery to get the default bios settings. First i got a: error and after disabling diskette floppy, i get the reboot error.
                            i thought of replacing the new hard drive, but i had the doubt about power connection to it. so, i called a tech guy , who had said that the correct wire type on smtp middle connections would do no harm to hard disc. Now, i am having the new hdd with os installed.
                           Now, the Title subject comes. Why it is always on install that i ultimately loose the contents and loose the total hard disk.
                             Do any body have any idea why it occurs. I heard about some sata pata settings, but my mother board has an enhanced ide/ata settings which were enabled as default. So there is no change in bios settings.
                              There is no explanation in seagate site about this kind of problem.
                              Why it is always at install and after first reboot during the install process?

General Computer Support / Solved how to avoid the blacklist ip of the service provider in login

« on: February 26, 2016, 05:08:49 am »

Hi, It is nothing secret, that ISP gives global ip to its users, and users without any fault on their side, sometimes get the message, that your ips is blacklisted by ... sites, and please answer this question in some sites, and without getting any solution in some other sites.
                    I mean, due to the risk of having static ips, no user prefers static ips, and prefer dynamic ips. But the user is not having any control on the global ips alloted to them during different log in session.
Moreover ISPs normally do not give that much importance to the blacklisted ips, from which spam message flood and spam sites black list them.
                   So for some third parties play, the genuine users are affected .
                   Is there a way out, or software, which would alert one of blacklisted ips or genuine ips. I do not know, if the crooks , will change those also from time to time in an effort to be invisible.
                 Please give me the solution;
                 To become a member of spam filter sites, also a problem because it does not direct to their original sites, but neighbouring state sites, which we do not know anything and also it involves the IP given by ISP

General Computer Support / acronis monitor comes up with low risk, volsnap event id 33,

« on: February 21, 2016, 05:53:26 am »

Hi, have downloaded and run the acronis monitor.
                          It popped up a low risk volsnap id33 which says,
The oldest shadow copy of volume C: was deleted to keep disk space usage for shadow copies of volume C: below the user defined limit.
                          I remember a repair on shanes, AIO which i did . how to check whether the problem is gone. I could see the log, that says the service was not running and it  was repaired and started.
                           Would anybody give an elaborate reply on this. Because, without knowing, when i was hearing a audio song, suddenly BSOD with volsnap. appeared and i had to reboot the system.
                               Does the c: message by itself means, that c: is having less disk space. or some other thing.
                               If a service was not started, then event to the occurance could not be there, is my assumption. Please experts.
                               Is it related to SR function. pl
