    BSOD 0x4e PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

    Hey guys, getting this BSOD on a Dell Inspiron 580 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I'm testing the 8GB of ram with memetest right now. So far, 2 passes with no errors. I'll check drivers after that. Any specific ones I should be looking at? Should I just update all drivers and see if...

    Fn Brightness Control lost, Toshiba Laptop

    I had to format and re-install Windows XP on a Satellite A105-S4201 Laptop. I installed XP, and updated to SP3. The brightness control no longer works using Fn+F6/F7 (or any other way for that matter). It was working before the format. I tried a couple of different Common Modules installs...

    Can I require two passwords to access a wireless network?

    I've got a guy who wants to double password protect his wifi. I know that having strong encryption, and a long password with alpha-numeric and non-alpha-numeric characters would work better for him, but I'm not sure I can convince him of that. Is there a way that I can require two passwords to...

    HP Mini 110 won't boot into Windows 7

    Problem solved. HP has a restore utility that allowed me to run chkdsk. That allowed me back into Windows. Thank you.

    HP Mini 110 won't boot into Windows 7

    I've got a netbook here. By default, it boots into something called HP QuickWeb. It looks like just a small OS designed to get you online quick. The wireless within that OS will not connect unless you restore the laptop to factory defaults. Even then, if the laptop's battery drains all the...

    Page Fault In Non Paged Area

    I've got a client with a reboot loop. When trying to run from the e-machines XP Media Center OS Disc, I get this message. I check the RAM with MemTest98+. It passed 42 times, so that looks good. I couldn't get Seatools to run on the client's computer because the mouse wasn't recognized in...

    HP G61 Laptop Extremely Slow, Can't Get Into Windows

    So... I ran SeaTools on the drive. The scan found errors and was able to fix some of them but not all. After that, when trying to boot up the computer normally, it automatically ran chkdsk, and fix more errors, and after another reboot, it's now loading into Windows. Issue resolved. Thank you.

    HP G61 Laptop Extremely Slow, Can't Get Into Windows

    I've got an HP G61-429wm Laptop here. It's running really slowly, and won't boot into Windows, or even a Windows disc. On bootup, it will show the underscore for ~15 seconds, then it will start to load Windows (I believe it's Windows Vista). Once it's done with the loading screen, the screen...

    Question about Windows Vista OEM License

    So, I installed Windows Vista 32 OEM on a computer. I'd like to format the hard drive and start over. If I install Vista 32 OEM again using the same key, will it work?

    Can't get online

    Haha. I also tried shutting down Zone Alarm temporarily. That didn't work either. It's been running on Zone Alarm for probably 3 years. I don't see it being the issue here, but I'll give it a shot sometime today probably.

    Yeah. I "Ctrl+Shift+Enter"ed the sucker. I also right clicked and selected "Run as Administrator" for good measure.

    Can't get online

    No security suites. Just AVG and Zone Alarm. I'll probably try combofix after exhausting some other potential solutions.

    Keyboard Failure Dell Inspiron 580

    As it turns out, I may be barking up the wrong tree anyway. I don't know how reliable MemTest by HCI Design (a Windows-based RAM tester) is, but it came up with 0 memory errors over the course of about an hour of running (over 100% coverage). I'm willing to concede that I'm not going to be...

    Hello again, I've got a customer with what sounds like a memory issue. I want to run Memtest86+ on it, but there is an issue. On bootup, I get "keyboard failure" and I can't enter the BIOS to change the boot device priority so that I can load Memtest86+ from a flash drive or cd. The keyboard...

    (partially) fried laptop

    Hey guys. So, a client says she was on her laptop (Asus M50V) and she smelled burning plastic, then she noticed a small flame in the back of the laptop. The flame was put out. She was able to run the computer again, but it would only run on the battery. It will not boot up when plugged in...

    Network says it's connected, but it's not

    I get "the following command was not found: Interface ipv4 install" Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) shows up in Local Area Connection properties. There is no TCP/IPv4. It is a Windows XP Professional system if that makes a difference.

    Network says it's connected, but it's not

    I think I've found the culprit. When I was checking services, and noticed that DHCP, DNS, etc. were not started, I went to device manager, clicked "show hidden devices" and under non-plug and play drivers, "IP network address translator" and "tcp/ip protocol driver" had yellow exclamation marks...

    Need cheap international prepaid phone

    sygyzy, Yes, she plans on checking in with parents, boyfriend, friends, etc. I told her about a place nearby here in NY that sells unlocked quad-band phones, but I'm not sure if she bought one. I think she may be planning on buying the phone and the sim in Costa Rica. Can she get a cheap...

    Need cheap international prepaid phone

    Hold the phone. (<----ed. Haha, pun) I'm uninformed when it comes to cell phones. A sim card just identifies your cell on a network right? Won't she have to buy a prepaid card to add minutes to the phone?

    Oh, one more question. When she gets the phone, can she just get a prepaid card here in NY, or should she get one when she gets to Costa Rica?

    Need cheap international prepaid phone

    Ok, so I found this one on Amazon that works at GSM 1800MHz (which is what google told me Costa Rica uses). http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-E1080-...5790031&amp;sr=1-3 So that one should work for her right? It says not for use in the US, but she can still call to the US correct? Also, will she...
