My laptop has been having problems.
At first, the only thing that happened was that sometimes, after I closed the laptop to put it in standby and then later opened it, the screen would stay black. The power light would change from yellow to blue as if the computer had successfully resumed. When I moved the mouse or pressed keys, nothing happened, nor when I pressed the power button briefly (as if to take it out of a standby begun through the shutdown menu). Closing the laptop changed nothing; the power light remained blue, and re-opening it would still not wake it up.
Then, the screen started going black in the middle of using the computer, and would be similarly unresponsive. This has been happening with increasing frequency, and seems to mostly happen when I do something that increases the memory load. However, it does not seem to be related to how much the load is increased or how much the total load is; I have had it crash when I clicked the play button on a Youtube video, but I have played Civilization IV for hours with no incident. The problem seems to mainly occur when a new process is started, but it also happens randomly when nothing new is started.
Most recently, I have found that some program settings are reverting entirely to their default values after a crash. This has happened twice now; the first time it was Google Chrome that lost settings, and the second time it happened to both Chrome and Skype.
System: Windows XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3; I am completely up-to-date with Windows Updates
Hardware: Toshiba Satellite A105 -- S4094; all hardware is stock except for an upgraded hard drive
Antivirus: AVG Free Edition 9.0
Browser: Google Chrome
I run CCleaner fairly frequently; I have it clear index.dat, various IE history data, %26quot;Run...%26quot; prompt history, system search autocomplete, other explorer MRUs, recycle bin contents, temporary system files, the clipboard, memory dumps, chkdsk file fragments, windows log files, DNS cache, and various Firefox history data. It also clears data (though it does not specify WHAT data) from Adobe Reader, MS Office Picture Manager, MS Office, OpenOffice, Google Toolbar Firefox, Sun Java, Flash player, Quicktime player, Quicktime player cache, Real player, Windows Media Player, 7-Zip, AVG, WinRAR, MS Paint, Wordpad, and RegEdit. I also use CCleaner to scan the registry for errors and to correct them.
I keep AVG updated, and I run a scan almost daily.
What I usually have running at any given time is Digsby, Skype, and Chrome.
Does anyone know what is going on here?
What is going on with my laptop?
wow could be any number of things, I would start by running some diagnostics tests on the hard drive and memory.
go to : http://www.ultimatebootcd.com and download the UBCD 4.1.1 ISO image and burn that .iso file to a CD using either NERO (right click on fight and select open with and then Nero) OR a program called IMGBurn if you don't have Nero (free download Google it)
this CD is to be booted to by restarting the computer with that CD in the drive and allowing the computer to boot FROM CD.
it may be necessary to go into your BIOS and change the boot order to prioritize the CDROM higher than the Hard drive.
I would suggest running DFT (drive fitness test) first to check out your hard drive. do the advanced test.
and then run memtest86 to check out your ram.
if those pass then you may unfortunately have a bad motherboard or LCD power inverter.

Internet protocol tcp/ipv6 help please?
i was messing with my router settings because my xbox live wouldnt connect.
on my ipv6 menu there was like 6 choices.
---automatically obtain ip address
---use the following ipv6 address
-subnet prefix length
-default gateway
-obtain dns server automtaically
-use the following dns server addresses
-preferred dns server
-alternate dns server
before i messed with it, it had manual settings and it had ip's.
but i changed the choice to automatically obtain ipv6 address and the dns server.
so it got rid of those numbers that were originally there.
and i dont remember those numbers.
how do i get the original numbers back?
because im trying to hook up to xbox live and now it wont connect at all.
so i have a feeling its because i messed with the ipv6 settings.
Internet protocol tcp/ipv6 help please?
Check the router documentation, if you lost it you may be able to find a copy on-line at the manufacturer's web site. They often have a hard reset option (push a recessed button in for 5 seconds or something like that) to reset factory defaults.
Next check with your service provider - if you have a cable modem then contact the cable company's support number. They should be able to tell you what settings you need to connect via their service.

you should take note first the setting before you change it. There is no way you can get back those setting unless you are the one who first set up your router. You only assign obtain if there is DHCP server. In your case we do not know if your modem DHCP is enabled. If it is enabled then obtain will work but if not you need to assign the IP within the range of the IP pool configured in your modem...Try to connect your PC directly to your modem then set up your PC to obtain and then try to command ipconfig. If you get IP add then your modem DHCP is enabled and configuring your router to obtain should have no problem...good luck...jexter@eastern.com.ph

How do I find my alternate mac address? (Xbox 360 related question)?
I'm having trouble connecting to Xbox live. I have the Xbox directly connected to a port in the back of my wireless router, but although my PC that is also connected to the router is getting internet service, my XBOX gets nothing and cannot connect to Live. The ethernet port in the Xbox 360 that usually blinks when it's connected to Live, is blank, nothing. I've attempted to reconfigure the settings to automatic for the IP and DNS to no avail. I've changed it to %26quot;manual setting%26quot; and the only thing I'm missing is my alternate mac address. Where do I find that?
I switched from Verizon, that worked fine, to Time Warner Cable and am now experiencing these troubles.
Thank you for your input!
How do I find my alternate mac address? (Xbox 360 related question)?
As it's cable, I suggest you power off your router/modem from the power socket (on the wall) for 1 full minute. Then retry everything again.low cost web hosting valuable advice

open your browser and enter your ip address and go to your router configuration page and look for %26quot;attached devices%26quot; while your xbox is on. it should tell you all of the devices that are attached to your router. it should have ip address, computer name (my xbox shows up blank in the %26quot;Name%26quot; field) and the mac address.
make sure your xbox is on so your router can identify it.

How do i connect to internet on my ipod touch ?
Ipod touch safari can't open the page?
I have had my iPod for about 1 month. I am currently running 1.1.3.. So the wi-fi has worked for me. Well, for about 1 week, my internet connection got lost for my iPod. My family has about 3 laptops, all running the same internet connection. My computer works just fine, as well as the rest. But my iPod touch is having big problems connecting.
I go to the Wi-fi panel in Settings. It shows my network, and so I click it. I enter my WEP code, and everything seems fine. But when I enter safari, or any other app that uses wi-fi, it says, %26quot;Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server.%26quot; Although it says that, the little wi-fi signal up at the status bar is on full blast. So I did some research on why it isn't working. I checked my computers IP address, and it dosen't match the one on my iPod. On my iPod, it starts with 169. On my computer, it starts 153. Same with the subnet mask. There is no Router info, or DNS on the iPod touch network panel. Anyone know how to change the IP address on the iPod for good?
Here is what my page looks like:
IP Address:
DHCP BootP Static
IP Address: 169.2*4.*2.2*8
Subnet Mask: 2*5. 2*5.0.0
Router:
DNS:
Search Domains:
Client ID:

How do i connect to internet on my ipod touch ?
that sounds pretty messed up man sorry about that..just try contacting apple and see what they say
How do i connect to internet on my ipod touch ?
if its still in warranty replace it. or apple will probably fix it. that happened with my friends ipod too and apple sent him a new one.
it looks like you don't have a DNS number. Leave it on DHCP and then find your DNS number. If you type it in and when you try safari it says %26quot;sever never stopped responding%26quot; your out of luck. until i figure out what to do.
