MSI GX620 multiple problems

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot. I really need some help. This laptop is driving me crazy! It's making me consider getting a different brand, because I have had nothing but problems since I had this thing. I hope newer models of MSI laptops work better than this.
1.) For some reason, my laptop won't charge. It says that it's charging, but after hours of charging it still says 21 percent. This has been going on for like 6 months now, after I had the dc jack replaced the first time. Once replaced at that time, I kept smelling a burning smell so I had the dc jack replaced again! After the second time, it charged for a little whtile but the all of a sudden it stopped.The bios and the firmware are updated and still no luck! Not sure what else I can do!
2.) For some reason, when I press the turbo on, or use set fsb, it locks up, or "freezes", then I have press the power button to restart it! I
I am really starting to think that something is wrong with my bios. As stated earlier, I have had nothing but problems with this thing. My laptop is out of warranty so I what ever hardware changes it may need I have to pay for it myself. Can anyone please help me?
Win 7 ultimate 32bit
4.00gb ram
Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20ghz

For 2) problem - have you changed bios settings, for example RAM freq settings from auto to 800? I have GX623 and after changing ram settings from auto to 800 I can`t press turbo button, because after I press it or win hangs up or shows blue screen. I think it is because, when you press turbo button it tries to overclock ram even higher than 800.
But in auto mode, and with turbo of it works on 667mhz, but with turbo on 800.
Is there is newer bios than yours? Maybe try update it.
Sorry for my bad english )

MSI GX620 Cooling Problems

hello everyone!
i bought my MSI GX620 notebook at christmas and till now everything worked really fine. about a week ago i noticed that games,after running about 15-20 minutes, start to run slower, feels like fps would drop around 20. my first thought was the vents got too much dust, so i removed carefully the back of the notebook, so i could clean the vent a bit, but still, i got the same issues. i checked with Everest, the GPU temp is 65°C (149 °F), the CPU temp is 55°C (131°F) while doing just simple browsing. this i think is just fine. but when i start any game ( with low PC requirements too ) the GPU has 91°C and the CPU is 80°C and the framerates just drop after 15-20 mins from about 60-100 to 10-20fps. and that just started some days, maybe a week ago.
can anyone tell me what should i do or try?
thanks , and sorry for my bad english

I've been having the same problem with my GX630. The thing must be really clogged because it gets extremely hot after about five minutes of moderate graphics gaming and slows to a chugging crawl. I'm assuming that the plate on the bottom of your machine is the same as on the GX630, and is pretty large with a little indent for where it's supposed to come off. Did you manage to do this?
I took out all the screws and tried to pry it open but gave up for fear of breaking the whole dang thing.
Anyone have experience doing this?

[GX620] MSI GX620 Overheating Problem

Hello,
I have a MSI GX620 laptop and it overheats all the time when playing games (World of Warcraft)
When playing the laptop just randomly shuts down after playing for a while.
I am using a USB cooler to get rid of it but it doesn't seem to help in any way.
Can someone please help me to fix this overheating problem since it is very annoying and I just can't get rid of it.
It's been good for a week and now it just happens to shut down very often.
Thanks in Advance,
Sam

Please note that Arctic Silver is slightly conductive. If you're going to use this, be VERY sure not to spill any or that you don't use too much.
If it does spill and gets in contact with the small pins around the core you might create a short circuit.
I recommend the following best tested thermal pastes:
-Prolimatech thermal compound
-Tuniq TX-3
-Arctic silver 5 (slightly conductive)
-Arctic silver ceramique
-Enermax (Dow Corning TC-5121)
-Thermaltake thermal compound

MSI GX620 - Turbo And Eco mode on Xp

Hi,
I have installed Windows XP on my notebook MSI GX620-20FR
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1529
but the Turbo and Eco mode are not working !
What can I do?
Is there a person who solved this problem or a tutorial for xp installation on gx620 ?
Any advice is welcome.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I have xp, I installed the chipset and the system control manager but the eco funtion doesn't work although the turbo funtion works.
thanks.-
In some notebook models, ECO is supported in Vista only.
Also ECO can be activated only when notebook is running at battery.{without AC}
However you can simply apply "max power saving" from power scheme will has the same effect.

Msi gx620 with intel core 2 duo , 2.0ghz, 800 mhz and 2 M cache ????

So this local store is going to get me an MSI GX620 with 2.0 ghz proccessor. It should be available in 3 days.
From what i know, this is supposed to be the Gx 620-018 with the P7350 core 2 duo proccessor because that's the only 2.0 ghz MSI gx620.
BUT the printed paper that has the laptop specifications, which the store clerk gave me, says:
intel core 2 duo , 2.0 ghz , 800 mhz, 2 M cache (does not mention the processor series name...)
bUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE because the P7350 has 3 M cache memory and more than 800 mhz...
IT also says that the ram memory is 3gb, which i know it's supposed to be 4 gb.
I'm confused...could it be a rip off, or just a stupid mis-print and wrong info about the the laptop specs from the store clerk???
Thanks!

This is a user-to-user forum, nobody here works for MSI (that includes moderators and administrators).
What exactly do you expect us to do? We do not know in which region you live, we do not know the store you have ordered the GX620 in, we do not know where the store is getting the GX620 from (certainly not from MSI, but from another reseller or a distributor (which we don't know) and we do not know the origin and the author of the piece of paper you got in that store nor can we be sure that the info on it is trustworthy. This is a long list of uncertainities for starters. All the GX620 that I have seen here come with a P7350, however, that does not mean, that in your area, this has to be the case as well. Consequently, the only save way (without speculation involved) is to check the notebook itself as soon as it gets to the store. Without further information we cannot tell you anything else.

I wonder who can???
The store should be able to call its reseller/distributor to check the specs of the GX620 they ordered. If they are unable or unwilling to do that even though the information on the piece of paper they(!) gave you raises valid questions, the problem you have is obviously with the store, not with us here. The specifications sheet for a particular notebook model in a particular part of the world should include the exact model name of the processor. If that is not that case, somebody (the store, the reseller or the distributor) forgot to do its homework and if that was the case, how can anyone in here make up for that? You could call an MSI distributor in your country to find out what variants of the GX620 they are putting on the market in your region. However, this is still not as informative as starting the notebook to check directly.
I don't really get what you are so mad about. You ordered a notebook in a store that is unable to provide you with accurate information about the product it is trying to sell you. That us not exactly a very understandable reason to get upset in here, just because we can't verify the info you got either.

MSI GX620 display destroyed

Hello I have a pretty serious problem. I have a MSI GX620 laptop. For a long time I had a broken plastic frame (case) around the display and now I broke and right bracket frame and see the display. http://www.abax.cz/img/zbozi/2MSBL.jpg. Laptop is not under warranty since April. So I ask how much will it cost me a fix. THX Razormann

Also, MSI does NOT give warranty on plastic covers since the notebook is still functioning without them.
Quote
Any damage of covers or casing is without any doubt not within the responsibility of MSI, thus chargeable. It will only be repaired if the customer explicitly requests it, since that kind of damage does not affect system functionality or performance.

K9N Diamond - multiple problems

First, here is my setup:
K9N Diamond
AMI bios v1.2
AMD 64x2 5200+
2 gig Corsair ValueSelect (no timing info available)
XFX Fatality 7600GT 256mb video
Okia Okia-450ATX ps +3.3v@28A +5v@50A +12v@18A (+3.3/+5v 230W)
Primary HD: Maxtor 80 gig IDE. Secondary: Maxtor 200 gig SATA
Pioneer 16x DVD burner
WinXP Home SP2 + updates
All mobo drivers are from the cd. The video card drive is the latest forceware driver.
Ok. I am having multiple problems. First, I have tried 3 pci dialup modems (2 Broadxent 56.6 and 1 generic SmartLink 56.6) and only the SmartLink shows up. The 2 Broadxent (Creative Modem Blaster) modems don't even appear to the system , yet they both work in other computers. The SmartLink modem appears and will connect sometimes, and then not reliably. I have tried all 3 in both pci slot. None work in the orange slot. Any ideas?
Second, I am getting random reboots. This happens less often if I disable the onboard audio, but it still happens. If I have the audio enabled and use a USB modem I have, then it will enevitably auto-reboot I have even gone so far as to remove the side of my case and point a small high velocity fan into the case to lower the temp of the internal components in case the CPU temp was an issue. The CPU temp is around 34 C this way. Still random reboots. I have had previous bad expreience with SB audigy SE addon cards, but this still happens with the audio disabled.
And last, but not least, I am experiencing protracted bootup times. I was previously running a ABIT AV8/ AMD 64 3000+ combo with a ATI X700 and 2 gig of Kingston valueram with the same ps, hd's and dvd drive and my bootup times have almost doubled with my new mobo cpu combo.
I am getting a new Thermaltake 600w ps and 2 Antec tornado case fans tomorrow, but I don't see how that can really help with these problems as I am not really drawing that much power yet and the CPU is running fairly cool with the big fan at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It looks as I might possibly have a bad board on my hands. :(
Oh yeah, I also cannot get Dual Core Center to run at all. I DO have .NET framework 2.0 on my system and have had for a long time. Every time I try and start the program I get an error popup saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000005). Click OK to terminate the application." . I downloaded the latest version from MSI. Version 2.0.2 I think.

Try that new PSU first, 18A on the 12V rail is barely enough and that might be a peak rating...
Defiantly agree there, 18A on 12V rail is not enough and most likely the cause of the reboots. You would want at least 24A on the 12V. Also if you go to buy a new one, avoid those multi-rail PSU's as they are not as good as the single rails as the current on each rail is not overly high.

MSI GX620 notebook graphics card upgrade (HELP)

Hello
first time sorry for my bad english.
I have a MSI GX620 laptop with a nv 9600th
I thought to myself that I have a ati hd4670 of replacements.
but unfortunately not boot the notebook with the video card.
the notebook starts, but only up to the hardware id consultation.
Give it a possibility to modify the bios that the card is detected?
ie the white list table expand.

There is no whitelist for the MSI gx620. This model supports many many graphics card.
There may be a problem with your 4670 card. You may want to update the laptop BIOS however to that of the gt627 or possibly gx623.
I recommend you return the graphics card to the seller you got it from. You can get a new heatsink for better Nvidia cards like this http://cgi.ebay.com/NVIDIA-quadro-FX-2700M-512MB-NB9E-GLM2-MXM-III-/270729976730?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3f08c39b9a which is like the 9700m GTS (good if not better) http://cgi.ebay.com/Alienware-Nvidia-Quadro-FX-3600M-MXM-512MB-Graphic-Card-/170612917606?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item27b9528566#ht_4888wt_1139 (like 9800m GTS, very good) http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-nVidia-Quadro-FX-3700M-1-GB-Video-Card-NEW-NB9E-GLM3-/370504497087?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item5643c9f7bf (the best, but will run HOT)
Or if you like ATI http://cgi.ebay.com/Alienware-M17-M15X-512MB-ATI-HD-3870-Master-Video-Card-/180661996018?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item2a104b49f2
The heatsink may be hard to get. I think I could get one for you tho, PM me if you're interested.

Having multiple problems with script - NTFS Permissions and AD Groups

Hi, all! I'm having multiple problems with my first script I've written with Powershell. The script below does the following:
1. Prompts the user for a corporate division under which a shared folder will be created, and adjusts variables accordingly.
2. Prompts if the folder will be a global folder or an office/location-specific folder, and makes appropriate adjustments to variables.
3. If a global folder, prompts for the name. If an office/location-specific folder, prompts for each component of the street address, city and state and an optional modifier. I've prompted for this information in this way because the information
is used differently later on in the script.
4. Verifies the entered information and requests confirmation to proceed.
5. Creates the folder.
6. Creates an AD OU and/or security group(s).
7. Applies appropriate security groups to the new folder and removes undesired permissions.

Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
My problems right now are in the assignment/removal of security groups on the newly-created folder, and the problems are two-fold. Yes, I am running this script as an Administrator.
First, I am unable to remove the BUILTIN\Users group from the folder when this is an office/location-specific folder. I've tried to remove the group in several different ways, and none are having any effect. Oddly, if I type in the lines directly
into Powershell, they work as expected. I've tried the following methods:
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$FolderACL.Access | where {$_.IdentityReference -eq "BUILTIN\Users"} | %{$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($_)}
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$BIUsers = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTIN\Users")
$BIUsersSID = $BIUsers.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($BIUsersSID.Value,"ReadAndExecute,AppendData,CreateFiles,Synchronize","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
In the first case, the script goes through and has no apparent effect because afterwards, I do a get-acl and the BUILTIN\Users group is still there, although when looking through the GUI, inheritance appears to have been broken from the parent folder.
In the second case, I get the following error message:
Exception calling "RemoveAccessRuleAll" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."
At C:\Users\tesdallb\Documents\FileServerBuild.ps1:110 char:5
+ $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : IdentityNotMappedException
This seems strange that the local server is unable to translate the SID of a BUILTIN account. I've also tried explicitly putting in the BUILTIN\Users SID in place of the variable in the New-Object line, but that gives me the same error. I've
also tried the solutions given in this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ad59dc58-1360-4652-ae09-2cd4273cbd4f/remove-acl-issue?forum=winserverpowershell and at this URL:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx but these solutions also failed to have any effect.
My second problem is when I try to apply the newly-created security groups, I also will get the "Some or all identity references could not be translated." I thought I had found a workaround to the problem by adding the -PassThru option to
the New-ADGroup commands, because it would output the SID of the group after creation, however a few lines later, the server is unable to translate the account to apply the security groups to the folder.
My first Powershell script has been working well up to this point and now I seem to have hit a showstopper. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I was hoping to stay with strictly Powershell, but unless I can find a Powershell solution, I may resort to ICACLS.
As for the problems with my groups not being translatable right after creating them, I think I have solved this problem by using the -Server parameter on all my New-ADGroup commands and this example code seems to have gotten around the translation problem,
again utilizing the -Server parameter on the Get-ADGroup command:
get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) | fl
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
# Add the new normal users group to the folder with Read and Execute permissions
$GroupSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupName -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity,"ReadAndExecute","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
# Add the management users group to the folder with Modify permissions
$GroupMGMTSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupNameMGMT -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupMGMTSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity, "Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
Going this route seems to ensure that the Domain Controller I'm creating my groups on is the same one that I'm querying for the group's SID to use in the FileSystemAccessRule. It's been working fairly consistently.
Still having issues with the translation of the BUILTIN\Users group, though.

Multiple problems with Mail

Here is the setup:
iMac Intel running 10.4.8
Mail 2.1.1
seperate user accounts, each with their own email address
email is valornet.com (local ISP), set up to download to Mail
Multiple problems with one of the user accounts (not affecting the others):
1. Multiple copies in the inbox of the same message. These are brand new, not a week old as some other threads have mentioned. When I go to Preferences/Accounts/Advanced I have already clicked the "Remove Now" button, also the "Remove copy from server..." is checked.
2. Mail will not stop retrieving new mail. The circle thing next to the Inbox on the left just keeps spinning, and spinning, and spinning...
3. Cannot quit Mail. Have to go in Activity Monitor and Force Quit.
4. My trash folder is gone.
If anyone can help me clean up this mess, I would appreciate it.

permissions), as described here:

Multiple Problems with 4.2.1 update

Hi. I installed 4.2.1, and am experiencing multiple problems ever since.
1.) battery life is horrible I can fully charge it, and three or four hours later it is completely dead.
2.) wifi is wonky or, mostly, nonexistent
3.) ringtones vanished, and the default rings are barely-audible.
4.) I keep getting a random message that I need to sync my photos.
5.) Ipod volume seems to have gone down. I can crank my car stereo up all the way, and sometimes it's still not enough to hear my music.
I have a two year old, non-jailbroken 3GS which I run on a macbook, and I'm pretty good about updating itunes and iphone OS on a regular basis. I've searched at length to find fixes and am just at my wits' end. I loved this phone, at least pre 4.2.1 I did!
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Action.
Thanks very much for the well considered, thorough answer.
I got everything working again (though will see what the battery does today), and this is what I did. I'm not sure which thing worked.
1.) One blog I found suggested doing TWO hard resets in a row, which I did.
2.) I went to
settings
Safari
clear cookies/history/cache
and cleared them all, twice, to be sure.
3.) I went to
settings
reset
reset network settings
4.) I went to
settings
reset
reset all settings
5.) I deleted all my photos one by one (I had already saved everything I wanted to iPhoto), and discovered that (and I don't know if this is normal or not, but I had never noticed this before), one of my albums was "locked". This was an album of photos and jpgs I had tinkered with using various apps, Photogene, etc. I could view only. Couldn't delete or flick to resize anything in the album. When I synced my phone, I checked "sync photos" but made sure no album or other boxes were checked. This deleted the locked album, emptied my entire "Photos" app, and consequently removed the "sync photos" message I kept getting. I took a few test photos to doublecheck, and the message hasn't reappeared.
I note that this is not only making my camera open faster now, it's making it take photos faster, and darned if they aren't better resolution as well. I had noticed, but not connected with 4.2.1, that my photos were really grainy and poor quality lately.
6.) I did the opposite of what someone on this forum suggested. I always selected my one ringtone, which is what their suggestion was. I only have three, so when I synced, I selected "all", and it defaulted back to giving me a choice. My ringtone, btw, was a home made one, which I am very attached to. I spent hours researching how to salvage it, and thankfully, didn't have to get into figuring out how to change the extensions and length of the the thing as other forums suggested at terrifyingly great length.
Memos and email are also opening faster, and I have my fast wifi back again while at home.
It's kind of like a heart failure. I didn't realize I was getting slower and more winded, it was so gradual over the past few weeks. And now I've had a miracle recovery, and am ready to go run some sprints, lol.
Thanks very much for your suggestions and quick answer. I spent hours and hours researching my problems with 4.2.1 and my ringtones.

Multiple problems with PSE10 Organizer

I have Photoshop Elements 10 that I am using with Windows XP with Service Pack 3, a Pentium 4 CPU with 3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 48.6 GB of free disk space. I have had multiple problems with Organizer since I started using it.
When I first got PSE10, I imported 8 years of my photos into one catalog in Organizer. I'm not sure how many images were included in this catalog but from what I've read, there's no limit to the number of images that can be placed in a catalog.
Question: Is there any limit to the number of images that can be put into one catalog?
Catalog A
Problem 1) People recognition didn't work. When I tried to find people for tagging, the feature didn't work. After researching the problem online, I found that others who had the same problem solved it by rebuilding the catalog a few hundred images at a time. I deleted the original catalog with all of my images and created a new catalog with just 800 images from this year. Then, people recognition worked, and I was able to tag people. The only other feature that I have used in Catalog A is that I have edited a few images to improve exposure. I have not rated images, stacked them, renamed them or created albums. With this catalog, the Organizer and the Editor still work together so when I select a photo in Organizer to fix, the Editor opens up with the photo for editing like it is supposed to do.
Catalog B
I created another catalog that had about 900 different images from a European tour. I deleted some of those images so there are now 760 images in this catalog. At first, all the Organizer features seemed to work fine in this catalog. I was able to pull photos from Organizer to fix in the Editor. I rated all the images, stacked and renamed some photos and created several albums under an album category.
Problem 2) A couple of days ago, the Organizer and the Editor stopped working together. Now, when I select a photo in Organizer and click on Fix, Edit, the Editor window comes up but the photo does not appear in Editor. The only way I can get an image into Editor is to pull it directly into Editor. Then, when I want to save it as a Version Set I have to choose File> Organize Open File in order to save the image as a version set.
Question: How do I get the Organizer & Editor to work together again?
Problem 3) The Exif data has disappeared on quite a few of the images in Catalog B even though the Complete radio button is highlighted under the Properties panel. Some of those images were never edited or re-saved.
Question: How do I get the Exif data back into Properties.
Problem 4) Yellow question marks continue to appear on the top left of some images even though these images have not been moved. The Organizer searches for the "missing file" and finds it quickly but why is it "missing"? I have gone through the albums in this catalog, completed the missing file searches on all the images so that no yellow question marks appear and when I go back to the catalog the next time I find the yellow question marks are there again!
Question: Why does Organizer think the files are missing? Why isn't the file location remaining the same?
Problem 5) When I re-opened Catalog A with the general 2012 images, I got a message that my watched folder had new photos to import. When I clicked on ok, the next window brought up 3 photos that were already in Catalog B of my European tour that were taken in September. Somehow, the Date Created and the Dated modified had been changed from 9/12 to 11/12 so the Organizer thought they were new images when they were not.
Questions: Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant? The Date Created does not seem to represent the date the picture was taken, so what does that date represent? How can I keep the date created from being changed?
Both Catalogs
All of the images in both catalogs show creation dates that are later than the date modified, (example: date created of 6/12 and a date modified of 3/12).
Question: How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified?

Hey Paysonite,
A lot of questions hmm!!! Let me try to answer few of them.
Question: Is there any limit to the number of images that can be put into one catalog?
Ans: No, you can import as many images in catalog you want. Just to add, as the size of catalog grows, Organizer's perfromance will be affected.
Question: Why does Organizer think the files are missing? Why isn't the file location remaining the same?
Ans: As you mentioned in your comments, you have deleted some files (i assume from explorer). But these deleted files are still present in Organizer. Since the deletion happened outside the organizer, so Organizer is unaware of the deletion. So when organizer tries to read the files (which were deleted), Organizer is unable to find then and thus thinks that files are missing.
Questions: Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant? The Date Created does not seem to represent the date the picture was taken, so what does that date represent? How can I keep the date created from being changed?
Ans: Date created represents the date on which the files was created on your files system (or into OS). It is not date when the images was shot (actual shot date is Date time Original in Organizer).
Question: How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified?
Ans: A simple way to do it is-Suppose you have an image which was brought/copied on July (i am explaining this with the help of month only. Assume date to be 1st and year to 2012). Now change the system date to August. Edit this image in Editor (without creating a version set for easy illustration). Now date created is July and date modified is Aug.
Copy this fine on flash drive/pen drive. Delete the original file from windows. Change the system date to Sept. Now copy the file in windows and see its properties. It has Date created as Sept and date modified as Aug, which answers you question.
I am unable to fully understand your remaining questions. Please elaborate.
Also please let me know if you need more info with above answers.

Multiple Problems with Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop??

Hi,
We purchased the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop at Best Buy about a week ago. However, we seem to be having multiple problems with it, that I wouldn't have expected from a brand new Toshiba.
Problems:
Whenever I'm in Mozilla Firefox browser, it crashes 90% of the time. Firefox was always my favorite on our previous computer, and still is, I just can't use it because it continually crashes.
In Outlook, whenever I try to open a message or reply, or basically any general command, it pops up an error message that says, "Could not install the custom actions," and then does whatever I'd wanted it too. It's a pain, as we do a lot of email and calendar through Outlook.
In Outlook, when I tried to import our Contacts, it says that we do not have the appropriate permissions to access the files. We are the only user account on this computer. We don't do seperate ones for each family member; we just turn on the PC.
It seems to me like the internet crawls on this computer. Every time we try to play a video (e.g. ABC, CNN, Youtube), it won't buffer. It just stops and starts all throughout the video about every 3 seconds. HUGE nuisance. We watch a lot of videos.
Minor issue: In Firefox, before it has crashed that is, on my old computer I used to be able to type "cnet" without the quotes into the address bar, and it would take me to www.cnet.com. If it couldn't find the page, it would take me to my default search engine's page (Yahoo) with the search results. On this one, if I type anything into the address bar (like search terms/keywords) it bring up search results with a My Start Incredimail search engine. I want my Yahoo search engine, and I want it to find the page if it can.
I cannot seem to get the Aero Flick (I think) to work. That was one of the main things I was looking forward to, but I can't figure out how to do it.
It seems to me like the Windows Explorer freezes a lot.
There have been multiple times when I'm typing that the keys don't work. Like I would have to press the A key about 10 times to get it to show up on the screen once. It's hit and miss and doesn't do it all of the time.
This isn't a problem - just a question. Is it best to leave the computer plugged in all of the time if it's stationary? Or once it's fully charged, should I unplug it and let the power run down, and then re-charge it?
**CLARIFICATION: It's not Outlook Express, it's Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. The one that you have to pay for. Surely it works with 7, considering it's Microsoft?!?!
If you can help me answer any of these problems/questions, I would really appreciate it.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Yes, everything was fine with Firefox. However, I have uninstalled it, and am just using Internet Explorer for now.
Thanks for battery info...
I'm well within the return window, but overall really like the laptop. I've put a lot of time into it, and just want it to work right if possible.
Thanks for the info.

Also, that search engine you mentioned may have somehow been installed on your machine. Have you checked the "Manage search engines..." window available from the search bar? Check your add-ons as well. You could always reinstall Firefox from scratch.
As for the battery, it may not be best to continually run down the battery - followed by a long charge. Once a month or so should be fine. Otherwise, just try to give the battery some exercise every now and then.
Are you still within the return window? Your unit may have a bad install, some bad RAM, or...
I have the same model and it works just fine.

Multiple problems with Firefox 3.6.6 - Java Console, Flash, PDF & opening

running Windows XP with Firefox 3.6.6. I just upgraded to 3.6.6 & since then have been having multiple problems. 1) 3.6.6 takes a LONG time to load or hangs 2) As recommended Flash plugin updated to Flash 10.1. Subsequently Flash doesn't work. All I get when I use Firefox on any site is the F in a circle that indicates that flash is necessary to display the page. I have no problems with Flash on Google Chrome. 3) Java Console having issues. When 3.6.6 opens it says Java Console must be updated. So I update it. Then when it opens it says it's not supported & needs to be removed. Each time it wants me to restart Firefox to complete the task. If I say restart later cause I'm sick of opening & Closing again & again it pops up every 5-10 minutes & asks again. Please HELP!! 4) PDF files will not open since upgrade to 3.6.6. Having no issues with Google Chrome. It opens in miliseconds & runs everything but I prefer Firefox if it can be gotten to work right. Desperately need help.
== Upon upgrade

Please respond with a list of all of your Extensions.
-type '''about:support''' in your URL/address/location bar and press the Enter key
-click "Copy all to Clipboard"
-paste into your reply
'''1).''' Please explain "long time to load" in more detail; approximately how long? Hanging when: on startup of Firefox, during use (please list some sites/pages, if so), at shutdown?
For hanging at exit:
'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]
'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
[[Firefox hangs]]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
'''2).''' Could be caused by a Flash-blocking Extension (the reason for asking for your list of Extensions) or could be in your Firewall or AV/AS application. What Firewall and/or AV/AS applications to you use?
See: [[Firewalls]]
'''3).''' Again, the reason for asking for your Extensions. Is it Java Console or Java Deployment Toolkit in the error message. Need version numbers on both of the above. You may have some Java remnants from a prior Java version; Java does not clean-up after itself and we can help you remove some of those remnants, if you will supply the information. See:

'''4).''' What are the results when you try to load a PDF file off of the internet?
