So i need to test how well an analogue phone-line works, it's connected to a machine via some pci-modem card. What would i need on my laptop to have something respond when i call this number using my cellphone? Just to pick up the line so i can hear if there's static / interference or not. I feel like an idiot because i can not even google for the information i need, i can't concentrate enough because my girlfriend's keeps yapping about something meaningless. Is it a bbs software i need? Can i dial in and have hyperterm or something answer? Just the simplest shortest test possible. Win7 laptop with builtin 56k modem, phoneline, something that answers the call...

Hummer Driving human being posted:Is there a way to get similar results short of doing this? We don't have the COA or the media and he's been using it as his personal computer for several months now. Would backing up everything he needs and upgrading to Windows 8 do the same thing? (It's a bit odd that IT didn't just reinstall it with a blank image then). (You mentioned admin password, do you know it?) If not: I'd reset the local admin password, http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ boot on usb or cd, activate/reset local administrator account, set password to something you know Reboot to windows, login as local administrator, remove computer from domain (win+pause/break, computer name, change settings, join a workgroup instead), reboot, set up your dad's useraccount properly so he can install poo poo without entering password (win+r, control userpasswords2, properties for your dads user and change group to administrators (yes i do this. i.. i do this everywhere..)) Or use Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder or similar software to get the serial used for the windows install, download a proper Microsoft iso from digitalriver, burn the dvd, reboot install and do things right from the start. ** edit And for the work nas:s that are no longer accessible, win+r, net use * /del underlig fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Dec 29, 2012 |

The Slippery Nipple posted:I'm new to Windows and just got my first PC a few weeks ago (Lenovo T430). Ever since I got it it has said there are updates available for downloading, and to shut down so it can update. Whenever I shut down it says it downloads the updates, but when I start it up it says that updating failed. This really annoying as it means it takes about 5-10 minutes to shut down because of the 'updates'. You can run both manually to ensure you get the updates downloaded and installed, WU you will find on the start menu and SU either on the start menu under Lenovo or Thinkvantage -somethingsomething or if you click on the lenovo tool icon in the taskbar. I think it's either a black computer-tower -icon or something red with four squares on it. (Sorry for the fuzz, i can't remember and none of my lenovos have it active anymore. When i need it i manually run the .exe from c:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\System Update\tvsu.exe) As for the wifi i'd say its a powersave feature, you disable this by going into the device manager (right click "My computer" and "Manage", Device manager, Network adapters, right click the wifi and select properties. Power management), and/or power settings in the control panel, and/or starting Lenovo Access Connections and somewhere in the settings there disable the powersave feature. In AC it should be under wireless networks, advanced properties or something like that.

Grab Meatcastle posted:So whenever I plug in a USB device and the system chimes all the audio in any other application gets cut until I restart the application. I've read the fixes for Skype doing this and for Steam doing this posted on previous pages, and I thought maybe it was steam until I tested it without steam open, and I've checked the volume mixer to see if it's been lowered in there but no dice, all the volumes for every application behave as though nothing is changed and the levels are set exactly where they are supposed to be. Turn of system sounds? Actually i think it might be "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device", in control panel, sound, playback tab, hit properties for your speakers or whatever it is, then on the advanced tab, uncheck "allow.."

Medullah posted:I've found for super computer illiterate people Teamviewer works better than LogMeIn. I'm talking people that ask whether or not a hard drive will continue to back up a computer when it's been disconnected. It'd show up on your account and then you just connect. This was for domain-connected users so you'd have to logon using their ad credentials, on a home computer you'd just need a simple password (i think, never tried). So that password would be set during the installation and it would then be used for all future connections. You could set logmein to autoupdate in the background, hide the systray icon and not give any error messages to the local user. We're only running teamviewer free at work so whatever i do i only have five minutes to do it in, which compared to logmein pisses me off. Sorry.

I don't want to open each gif file separately (as you would have to with web browsers etc, right?), I just want to arrow/click through a bunch (which you could do with the default XP file viewer, wtf microsoft?)

Neowyrm posted:So, I'm considering the upgrade to 8.1 when it comes out, but I want to have the option to revert to 7 in case I absolutely hate it. I have my 7-Professional product key hidden away deep in my hard drive, under lock and key and armed guard, but I can't seem to find a legitimate Windows 7 Professional download anywhere. Is it even still possible to download it? I feel gypped. The digitalriver ones still works don't they? Of course i'm not at work at the moment but i downloaded a danish 7 x64 last week...

hooah posted:Is there any reason I would be unable to change the status of my laptop's wireless adapter other than that it's fried? I have an Asus Eee 1215n, and the hotkey makes the OSD show the wifi off or on, but the icon in my tray always has a red X over it. Does it show in devicemanager? (right click "computer", manage, device manager) Does it show as inactivated or with an exclamation mark or anything like that?
