Computer Troubleshooting And Repair


Recommended Posts

I have a problem with Internet Explorer. When I click on links on the current window I'm accessing, it opens a new window. When I close that window, Internet Explorer hangs, an error message pops up and both browser windows closes.

 

What do I do (aside from using Firefox instead)?

i'm no tech guru but sometimes i get stumped by simple issues and right now i need some help ...

 

i've got an ibm thinkpad r50e with a 40gb hd ...

 

i want to upgrade it to at least 120gb ...

 

my questions are :

 

1 - is my laptop hd an ide, sata, pata ? how do i tell ? i presume its of the 2.5" size

 

2 - i've got an old desktop with 20gb and 40gb hd, i know this is an ide 3.5 drive, what do i need so that i can connect it to my laptop so that i can still access some of my old projects saved onto them ?

 

3 - considering i already got a 120g hd, i want to transfer the contents of the existing 40gb hd without re-installing. is it possible ? right now it is partitioned as follows : 20gb (winxp), 10gb (data), 10gb (ubuntu). i want to transfer it to the new 120gb as follows : 60gb (winxp), 40gb (data), 20gb (ubuntu). what will i need ?

 

4 - continuing from #3, after replacing the 40gb with 120gb what will i need so that i can still use the 40gb as an external drive?

 

thanks in advance.

i need help...

 

can anyone recommend to me DATA RECOVERY company or individual, who can recover my damaged external Hard Disk. i'm willing to pay.

 

thanks in advance...

 

 

if it's still detected then its possible to be recovered by using getdataback, if not then I dont think we have drivesavers here in PI.

try mo muna i-scan yung PC mo for viruses and spyware and check if this issue persists.

kung persisting pa din, try to install a newer version of IE.

and yes, try other browsers....

my questions are :

 

1 - is my laptop hd an ide, sata, pata ? how do i tell ? i presume its of the 2.5" size. Imho, ThinkPad R50e's hard disk is Ultra ATA or an improved IDE.

 

2 - i've got an old desktop with 20gb and 40gb hd, i know this is an ide 3.5 drive, what do i need so that i can connect it to my laptop so that i can still access some of my old projects saved onto them ? - an external hard disk enclosure that you can connect via USB.

 

3 - considering i already got a 120g hd, i want to transfer the contents of the existing 40gb hd without re-installing. is it possible ? right now it is partitioned as follows : 20gb (winxp), 10gb (data), 10gb (ubuntu). i want to transfer it to the new 120gb as follows : 60gb (winxp), 40gb (data), 20gb (ubuntu). what will i need ? - for files, just click and drag. you would only need re-installation for operating systems and drivers which i assume you already have as you've mentioned.

 

4 - continuing from #3, after replacing the 40gb with 120gb what will i need so that i can still use the 40gb as an external drive? - again, the external hard disk enclosure.

 

thanks in advance.

Question lang po: Is it ok to install SP3 without installing SP2? Or is it mandatory for the SP2 to be installed first before SP3? Many thanks again guys!

 

installing SP3 without installing SP2 may create some driver and dll conflicts in your OS. i would not recommend this.

 

My Yahoo Messenger says I have 26 new mail messages but when I open yahoo mail there are no new messages.? even i did refresh na. wla talagang new mail message. how do i solve this problem? tnx for any help. :unsure:

 

i have not experienced this. but can you try to disconnect YM first, and clear your browser tapos connect ka ulit sa YM. baka connected yung cache ng browser sa YM eh.

I see. Thanks a lot man! :thumbsupsmiley:

By the way, do you know about System Mechanic?

Is this better than TuneUp Utilities?

Thanks a lot Google! :ninja:

 

i've used TU and SM before, and based on hands-on experience, i prefer TU.

but it would depend on the user, so i would just suggest that you download both and evaluate them both and see what suits your needs and what you are comfortable in using.

I see. From the outset, it seems that SM has the advantage. Given that it also has other utilities like a firewall, anti-virus, etc. :zorro:

So do you think that this in itself would make SM more advantageous than TU? :blink:

Muchas gracias senhor Google! ;)

 

features wise, admittedly, SM is at edge, but as i've said earlier, it would depend on each user's preference. given the fact that the bottom line is systems maintenance, TU does the job well. On these additional features for SM, yes, they are really important and handy and may be preferred if you really hate to have another software to do your cookies, to have your firewall, etc. But for me personally, there are better software that can do this (e.g. Norton Firewall and AV suites, etc.)

 

another thing that i like with TU is its simple interface.
