accessing user accounts from start up
by Guest REBud25- 0 replies
- 187 views
after a week of wrestling with computer password lock out (LONG STORY and other questions posted elsewhere here) I now have several User Accounts listed but cannot access them. At Start Up only one Local User Account (NOT Admin) is shown. I can log into that account and have access to Internet. I can go to PC Settings>Users and I see the other Accounts listed but cannot switch to them. Ctrl+Alt+Del>Switch User blanks the screen, returns me to the start up screen BUT with only the local account listed and no "back" little arrow to show other users. More weird is that when in that local account and UAC comes up asking for an Administrator password... I s…

Lenovo Lynx K3011W Tablet BIOS Version: K3CN38WW CPU: Intel Atom CPU Z2760 @ 1.8 GHz Sys Mem: 2 GB Storage: 64 GB Windows: Win8 STD DPK MIDH I normally would say that I'm a novice, but In the interest of saving a load of time, let's not assume that. Let's pretend I know how to get around a computer really well. I have posted this problem on several other sites and I keep getting the same responses, so please take anything I say that sounds in any way "smart" or "irritated" as simple frustration because no one seems to read what I write before asking me if I tried the things I've already said I've tried. I bought this tablet from ebay fo…

Hi I have a Lenovo G70 5years old hardly used, now when I try to boot it up the laptop boots upto the Lenovo screen for around 10 sec then goes to the blue screen which instructs me to reinstall my windows original windows disc which I didn't receive when I bought the laptop. I have been in contact with Lenovo tech support who were less than useful they only sent me a link which just takes me to the Microsoft site where I cant find the recovery tool. Can anyone give me advice or possibly where to find the recovery tool, I was planning on putting it on a usb device then uploading it into my laptop and then hopefully success, also the usb device is a micro card…

Old laptop stuck on Windows 8. Child at home needs computer. It keeps shutting down. Help
by Guest MichelleC75- 0 replies

My child is trying to work from home and the only computer I have for her is an old laptop that I dug out of storage and has Windows 8 installed. It keeps trying to update itself and shutting down on her in the middle of her work, taking >45 mins or more to restart and then saying it has to reverse the update and another 45 minutes again. Is Microsoft offering any discounts for the most recent version of Windows during this crisis? I cannot afford a new computer or to purchase a completely new version of Windows. Continue reading...

External Web Cam

I have a Logitech combined camera and microphone. When I plug it into either of my laptops (win 10) the camera and mic work fine. When I plug it into my desktop pc (win 8) the microphone works but the camera does not. I've tested it with online webcam testers and also using the camera app on Win 8. Neither will get the camera to work. I've tried having windows search for new drivers but it just tells me that the most up to date drivers are already installed. Again, it works fine on the two laptops but not on the PC. Anyone out there have any advice?? Continue reading...

So my HP computer tower has a PNY GEFORCE GTX 750 graphics card, it use to work just fine but now whenever I turn on my computer the HDMI doesn't work (We have an adapter because the card is weird and doesn't have the usual HDMI port). So I've tried using the VGA on it (Again an adapter for the graphics card), and the separate VGA plug in that's part of the computer also doesn't work. I dont know how to fix it if I cant see the screen. Continue reading...

Can I repair MP4 file with Windows Media Player?
by Guest AmyCollins2- 0 replies
- 182 views
I’ve got a corrupted MP4 file that won’t play in my Media Player. I was transferring the file to my Windows 8 desktop from a USB stick when some glitch interrupted the process. The file was transferred to the disk, but the USB memory card became unresponsive. So I had to hard-eject it out of the computer. When trying to connect the card back, Windows couldn’t identify it. I’ve tried to read it with my other computer (Mac) – no luck either. I guess that the card got corrupted for some reason during the transferring process. But that’s not all bad news. Eventually, it appeared that the MP4 video file I’ve transferred doesn’t play in Windows Media Player. This is w…
