I need help with a question about formatting and recovery

Hello, I have accidentally downloaded a trojan virus onto my computer and I have been told by tech support that the only way to completely rid my computer of its effects is to format my hard drive and restore my computer to factory defaults. I only NEED a handful of files and they arent infected so i already have them on a flash drive ready to be copied over to a restored version.
My Toshiba A665 S6050 supposedly has the recovery items and to access it you must hold "0" while starting it up... is that true? if it is true, after I format my hard drive, will i still be able to hold "0" on start-up and restore it to factory defaults or will formatting it wipe out that function?
Thanks ahead of time , -Mark

Mark, if you elect to restore your hard disk to it's original out-of-the-box contents, then the whole disk will be exactly the way you got it, including the recovery partition.

You should be fine, just make sure the new one has the current firmware, dock it to the computer, & away you go.
Please kill the "caps lock" key when posting, it's considered to be shouting & it's rude. Thanks.

I need help with a question about iPod Touch 5

I have a iPod touch, and I need to know, if I have the google app(or any app) open, and I hit the lock button, will it close the app?

yes, unless the app is intended to run in the background, like a music app maybe. For those, you can turn them off from the app itself

Need help fast :a question about jcomponent and jscrollpane

I draw a graphic on a jcomponent like this :
class drawrecttree extends JComponent {
public void paint( Graphics g) {
and I add this to jscrollpane:
drawrecttree www=new drawrecttree();
www.k_choose=k_valuenow;
www.node=currentNode;
www.setAutoscrolls(true);
jScrollPane2.setViewportView(www);
but I hope the jscrollpane can autoscroll,that means jscrollpane's size is 400*400,if the Jcomponent's size is 200*300, just add jcomponent;if jcomponent is bigger than 400*400,the jscrollpane can autoscroll,how can I do that?

Below is a small non-compilable unit (you need to add a few things of course) - but at any rate, here is some code that, if you get it working, you will see that the scrollbars do the right thing.
public class TestScrollPane extends JFrame {
private Container     container;
private JPanel        panel;
private JLabel        label;
private JScrollPane   scroller;
public TestScrollPane() {
    container = getContentPane();
    panel     = new JPanel();
    panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    /* Get you images here ...                */
    /* I will call them imageOne and imageTwo */
    label     = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(imageOne));
    panel.add(label);
    scroller = new JScrollPane(panel);
    scroller.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
    container.add(scroller);
    pack();
    /* Rest of JFrame stuff */
public static void main(String[] argv) throws InterruptedException {
    TestScrollPane tsp = new TestScrollPane();
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    tsp.label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(tsp.imageTwo));
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    tsp.label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(tsp.imageOne));
}

Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......

need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks

Hi,
As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords. Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

I need help with a question regarding XML

I have an exam tomorrow, and I was checking exams from previous years. There is a multiple choice question regarding XML, and I don't know all the correct answers (some are pretty obvious).
It's plattform independent
It allows UML representation
It's a Text Only format
It's faster to process than native binary formats
It's a data exchange standard
It allows specification of the meaning of the data in the document
It comes from HTML
.NET and J2EE provide tools to handle it

In the beginning there was SGML... the newest HTML
standard is an XML defined language (although most
sites and pages are still not XML compliant). Soyou
can think of HTML as a subset of XML but XML isnot
by any means a subset of HTML.But wasn't XML's format based on the original HTML?
That is, XML is a generalization of the original
HTML. So, the "true"/"false" determination depends
on how you define "It comes from HTML" (I thought it
was derived from HTML, which would make the
statement "true" [IMHO], but I could be wrong).No XML is not derived from HTML. Markup languages existed well before HTML. HTML popularized them to a large extent but it was not the first by any means.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Markup_Language
Also Wiki states in it's XML article that XML is a subset of SGML (which through that article) is a descendent of GML
The language heirarchy from SGML is as follows
SGML ---- HTML (old spec and deprecated)
       |
       |
       ----- XML ----- XHTML (current XML spec)edit: the tree got screwed up. XML descends from SGML directly.

Do you have Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account on your computer?
iCloud is temporary storage - limited to 1,000 photos and 30 days for each photo.
Photos/videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera especially before installing an iOS update.

Need help with Color Profiles between Photoshop and iPhoto

Hey guys, I'm a photographer and have always used Photoshop in comination with iPhoto. I am having great difficulty lately with color profiles randomly changing within albums of pictures. I need all of my images to be in sRGB, but some somehow end up in Adobe RGB. It seems to happen at random. Apple seems to think it's an Adobe problem. Adobe isn't sure what to do. Anybody aware of any known issues between CS5 and iPhoto using OS 10.8.4 with regard to color profiles and how to fix them?

The article also says you need Scribus to then further process the SVG file.
@shaunamm You need to open the SVGin Illustrator, not place it. But I doubt that you will be able to get the effects in Illustrator.

Need help with Go Pro Hero 3 and Premiere Pro CS6

Hello,
I recently acquired PP CS6. I put my clip (30 seconds long) and I go to preview while editing, for the first 1.5 seconds it is fine but then it is very choppy. The audio is fine but the video does not play smoothly. When I save and process the video it is fine. It is frustrating to try to edit video this way. I'm sure I'm missing a step when creating the project but I haven't used Premiere Pro since CS6. This is only happening with Go Pro Hero 3 videos, any of my other cameras are fine. Any ideas? Thanks

There's a lot of confusion over how video encoding affects subsequent editing performance - a higher data rate has no direct relation to how much effort is required to decode and play the footage, in fact a higher data rate often makes playback easier - which is why transcoding to AVI can help with playback even though the files can be hundreds of times larger. Data rates with the same codec depend on the frame contents and recording quality, but for playback and editing what matters is the GOP (group-of-pictures) structure and the complexity of the encoding algorithm. Provided your disks are fast enough the data rate is immaterial to Premiere.
With long-GOP files (as typically created by consumer DSLRs and helmet cams) we have keyframes (I-frames) with a complete set of pixel data, then a series of intervening P- and B-frames which only store the difference between 'now' and 'one frame before' or 'one frame after'. Unless you're on an I-frame you have to calculate the chain of differences from the nearest I-frame, and when editing or applying an effect we must re-calculate the entire GOP, so Premiere has to hold a lot of data in the buffer. Remember all timelines in Premiere are internally transcoded to 32-bit floating point, so it's more work to 'play' the footage in the monitors than would be done by a simple playback-only application such as VLC, or in some other brands of NLE that only work in the footage's color space. Premiere's hardware acceleration (MPE) only kicks in once the buffer has been ingested, all the decoding of the original H.264 frames happens in your CPU.
With digital cinema cameras and some hacked DSLRs, we record "all-I" footage - so there's no GOP overhead and playback/editing is massively smoother. I can scrub all-I footage from a hacked 7D no problem on my relatively-ancient spare laptop, but the long-GOP files from a factory 7D struggle to play at all. Our all-I 7D footage can hit 300MBit/s compared to 35 for long-GOP. Helmet cams such as the GoPro do all they possibly can to squeeze data onto their storage cards, which means they have long-GOP codecs that have some of the most complicated compression algorithms out there. The Hero3's implementation of H.264 uses the Ambarella chip, whose files are very small but an utter nightmare to decode - hence far more of a demand on your CPU than an equivalent clip from a DSLR.

Might be the 35 Mbps that is causing the choppy playback.
It shouldn't, assuming sufficient hardware. My GH2 clips often get up to over 90 Mb/s and play just fine on an older i7 920.

Need help.. Question about connectivity of PS2 with Creative A2ZS Video Edit

Hi everyone, i have question regarding creative A2ZS video editor.. please forgive me for my innocent question since im new here..
I own a Play Station 2.. can this video editor allow me to connect my PS2 and show the display on the monitor so that i can play my PS2 game on the monitor? it's like functioning like a VGA box.. thanks!Message Edited by nicholas_23 on 05-9-200709:46 AM

If you hook the standard analog video outputs of the PS2 (the ones that would go to the TV) into the Video Editor and get into the VidCap applet (free download from the Creative Website), drag the Preview window so its full screen, then you can use your laptop or desktop as a "TV".

Need help reinstalling Yosemite/Question about external hard drive

I have an early MacBook Pro and I have to reinstall Yosemite because I've been getting nothing but spinning beach balls, slow loading, lag in type showing up, and wi-fi issues. I took the laptop to the Genius Bar at the Apple store last week and they ran diagnostics on everything and all was perfectly OK. No hardware issues, no memory issue and he said my laptop was very clean. He saw the spinning beach ball many times while he was working on my laptop and suggested that I turn off File Vault as that could be causing the slowdown. He said if that didn't work (it didn't) to buy an external hard drive (which I received today) and to back up everything through Time Machine then reinstall Yosemite. I specifically bought an external HD that says "for Mac" and as soon as I connected it Time Machine opened and did the backup.
Now these are my questions. Are all my photos on iPhoto, and my Word for Mac documents backed up so that when I reinstall Yosemite, everything is going to be right where I left it? Will I lose Word for Mac and have to reinstall it? Isn't Word for Mac a one time use/install and will I have trouble and have to call Microsoft to input my authentication key in again and will they let me? I know silly questions but I'm really worried about losing stuff.
Also step-by-step detailed instruction on how to reinstall Yosemite would really be appreciated. Thank you!

If you have taken the backup using the Time machine then there is nothing to worry as all your photos from iPhotos and Word for mac documents are backup safely by your time machine.
Only keep one thing in mind that the external HDD which you use for the time machine backup should have the capacity size of about 3-4 times that of your backup data size. Or else, the time machine external drive will start deleting the files if the external drive is about to be full.

You absolutely don’t have to reinstall the Word for mac if its install in the first place because Time machine will backup the system installed files of your MS Word which you had installed.
Word for mac is a one time install and you don’t have to call Microsoft for any authentication key after you have restored your Word backup files from the time machine drive. As I said before the time machine will backup your Word system installed files leaving you no chance to reinstall it again.

Here, Yosemite reinstall procedure......
Important: To reinstall OS X, you must be connected to the Internet. Make sure your power adapter is plugged in. Reinstall OS X using the built-in recovery disk.
In the menu bar, choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command and R keys.
Select Disk Utility, then click Continue.
Select your startup disk on the left, then click the Erase tab.
Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Format menu, enter a name, then click Erase.
Important: Erasing the disk removes all the information from the disk. Be sure to back up the information you want to keep to an external device.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X, click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Hope this helps.....

I need help with some questions

I seen where it said if something happens to your computer that you will loose the music you bought and downloaded . Will you also loose the information about your itunes gift card ?How do you run a diagnostic before you buy ? Is there a phone number to contat someone in this case , or could it be sent to my E-Mail address ? Also I would like to thank the people that helped me with my first question .

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer, so if somethign happens to your computer, you lose nothing, as you have a backup copy.
"Will you also loose the information about your itunes gift card ?"
When you redeem a gift card the balance is on your account. It is accessible from anycomputer with itune, when you sign into your account. This would not be affected by lodd of your computer. Again, you should ALWAYS have a backup copy of your computer.
"How do you run a diagnostic before you buy ? "
Runa diagnostic of what before you buy what?
"Is there a phone number to contat someone in this case , or could it be sent to my E-Mail address ?"
Again, in what case? Could what be sent to your e-mail?

Where 2 go for help with some questions about a logo design?

I'm an absolute novice Illustrator user (CS4). Im doing a web site for a mate and he's given me a logo that I have made a vector drawing of. It was black and white, and I made it coloured but I have discovered that colour gets difficult when you go for grayscale! You all knew that, didn't you?
I'm not putting the logo up here because I don't want to ask a question that's too far off the purpose of the board. So, if I can't show it here can anyone suggest another forum where people do that kind of stuff and are kind to novices please?
Many thanks
Martin
Well, having a look around I think I might not be going to far off by asking so...
http://www.imagesandwords.org.uk/test/illylogo.html
Anything really, but bear in mind It's very like the original except it had no style, no color and less er.. precision

>How can I make the logo better for colour and B&W?
As I understand it, you are troubled -- among many things -- by the lack of differentiation among the spheres when you convert to grayscale. Is that correct?
If so, there are some things to consider. For example, the original uses only two attributes -- color and size -- to differentiate the spheres. Otherwise, you have the same shapes and the same gradient fills (other than base color).
When you remove color from the equation, you're left with only one differentiating attribute: size. Not surprisingly, you find yourself facing a dull uniformity -- the monotonicity produces monotonousness. Now, the challenge is to add back some differentiating features.
Not a whole lot of choices here. You can develop different gradient fills for a subtle effect, but you have to be careful: If the "lighting" changes dramatically among spheres, you'll end up with an unnatural look.
You might consider forgetting about gradient fills altogether and go with solid or texture fills. Sometimes, simpler is better... especially with a logo.
