Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Windows 10 running AIO repair (Ver. 3.9.11) can't login on reboot to safe mode
« on: September 30, 2016, 10:07:37 am »
I'm not sure what you mean. The windows password or the software key?
The windows password should work regardless of safe mode
The software key won't work unless you boot to safe mode with networking

« on: September 26, 2016, 08:01:19 am »
I tried to look up that error code, but I'm pretty sure you typed it wrong.
I tend to think this is a network browsing / discovery issue.
Take a look at this video and see if it helps.

General Computer Support / Re: Tweaking run 2 times: Windows firewall still disables file and printer sharing
« on: September 25, 2016, 11:35:56 am »
My best guess is there must be a firewall issue with node 4.
Check here for ports that need to be open,
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617166(v=ws.10).aspx
But the machine is saying that the peer to peer port is closed.
Maybe you only turned off the firewall for public networks and not private networks?

General Computer Support / Re: Latency and "Messed up computer." I was told "You need professional help."
« on: August 28, 2016, 08:56:40 am »
You will probably find that the "cannot connect to dhcp server" issue is because you have an old or other wireless connections in your system. Perhaps it is a work and home laptop or the like? I wouldn't worry about it. If you are typing here, the right connection was made. 
The other event viewer stuff doesn't really apply.
If you are having latency issues you have to determine where it is. One spot, all spots. etc. A place to start for that is a simple tracert. You go to command prompt , type "tracert tweaking.com > trace.txt " (not quotes. This will create a text file call trace.txt that you can upload here. You are looking for things with large hop times. If the large hop is your router - well, there's the issue.
the firmware update on the router is a solid idea.
if you want to disable LSO, I believe you do that from the network adaptor, not router. Click start> control panel > change the view to small icons. Then look for network and sharing center. Click change adapter settings. Double click the Local Area Connection and click properties then configure. Click the advanced tab. Find large send offload for IPv6 and IPv4 . Disable then and reboot.

Use tweak prefetch to disable super fetch.
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/tweakprefetch.html
You should see the problem go away.
You can then experiment with the setting to see what works best for you.

« on: August 18, 2016, 09:35:08 am »
It looks liek that is a temp folder created in 2013. Maybe you have moved the default temp file directory or something back then? Without being able to click around the drive and inspect, I can't know for sure. My best guess and it looks safe to delete. BUT... I can't be 100%
I would simply right click on the folder and zip it and save the zip. Then delete the data. If you have an issue with something you could always just unzip it back.

« on: August 18, 2016, 09:14:00 am »
99 times out of 100 this is because the key or id was typed in incorrectly. The ID is case sensitive and no spaces. So you have to type it in exactly how you did when you ordered it.
If that doesn't work please email me at support@ this site and I will take a look.

General Computer Support / Re: dhcp and gateway are one and the same access points. Is it correct?
« on: February 07, 2016, 10:02:02 am »
Well, the real answer to this is if the default gateway and the dhcp server are the same - then yes - its correct.
Also, if neither worked you would not be connected to the internet. So since you wrote here, then you have your proof that the settings are correct and you shouldn;t mess with them

General Computer Support / Re: double click is shown in avast internet security on this site
« on: February 07, 2016, 09:57:57 am »
Adsense is simply googles name for their ad platform.
Double click is an ad serving platform owned by google..
When you place adsense ad code on your site, part of that can show either ads that are purchased through adsense direct or with other realtime buying networks.
The adserver portion manages that to place the best value ad.
So all you are seeing is the pass through from adsense to doubleclick and back

General Computer Support / Re: Wininit chkdsk log advise
« on: April 12, 2015, 04:28:30 pm »
OK - The "USA check value, 0x0, ""... error is weird one. Much is written about it, but there are few answers. Some believe drive is about to die. Others think it is an error with installed software. Others think you have to update your motherboard / bios drivers. I've even seen some where the problem just fixes itself over time.. (which would suggest a possible driver update)
If it were me, I'd run chkdsk on reboot again - see if better or worse. Then I'd look for the hard drive diagnostic tool from the specif drive manufacturer (if you know the info I can link you to it)
Then I'd update the motherboard drivers which should include the controller drivers then check and see if that helped.
After that, I'd assume that the 360kb of bad sectors are just that. Id monitor the drive and probably replace it.

Gary -- PUUUULEEEASE!
I'm no shill. I know what I am talking about. I've got about 20 years in the online business and computer under my belt. I'm here because I more than support the Tweaking.com software and am helping in anyway I can. I was trying to help you understand how certain models work so you, and others reading, could be more aware. Take it or leave it.
Also, if you are going to quote me... quote me. Don't invent my words.
If you read what I wrote, I explained to you the advertising tactic the company uses and they use that because it is effective. I also said I'm not a fan of that model. Just because I disagree with something doesn't mean it isn't effective.
You don't have to like it either, but that doesn't make the product an more or less good. I explained you you what they do,why they do and have told you I own a copy that is running on my system right now -- you can either believe me or not, but please don't insult me.

So, to sum up, Reimage is a scam product which reports non existent problems to scare neophyte users into buying the app.
Nonsense... Its unique and not for everyone, but to say its a scam in simply nonsense. The comments on that article are over two years old. The product is way better than it was then.
I dont like the scareware method anymore than anyone else, but unfortunately on the internet that's the number one way to sell product.

reImage is not a scam... as a matter of fact I am running it on the machine I am typing on. The software is a legit way to repair your operating system on a file level.. among other things.
It gets a bad rap because of it scan first then buy to fix model... Some people call that 'scareware' but it is also the best way to sell a product like that. They also used to package with a toolbar which I think was a poor choice for them as well.
But i think the software is misunderstood more than anything. People think it is a registry cleaner.. It isn't. Here's a decent older review that makes a good pro and con case for it.
