Please help before I kill my computer

Flash player screwed up after AVG malware/virus issue which highjacked my i.e. and caused it to have to operate in safe mode. Have used malware bytes program for the issue and appeared to remove the malware. Now flash player will not work. Have used every microsoft fix it tool to repair internet explorer, windows, used mircrosoft security essentials numerous time for full virus scan, used adobe forum answers and installed flash player with download manager and manually. Still nothing. The program shows in add/remove program menu but not in program files, or add on files in ie, no shockwave program found anywhere. Used kill bit registry fix and still nothing. I am using window 7-32bit, i.e. 8, microsoft security essentials. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Wife is suffering becasue she cant play her facebook games.

Hi, thank you for that information. I think you're wise in not using a System Restore at this time. With MBAM and MSE running full scans and not finding anything is a good thing.
Now what I'd like you to do is go to this test site and let me know if you can see the Flash Player logo animate(spin).
Also what Flash Player version is Displayed?
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Do this test with all browsers you may use.
Then using IE, go to Tools, Manage addons and look for "Shockwave Flash Object". Is it Installed & Enabled? Also what version number?
Go to Tools, Internet Options and under the Security Tab, make sure you have it set to Medium for the Internet Zone.
Thanks,

Please help before it kills my entire library!

I’m sure this has come up before but I have to ask.
When I add new songs to my iTunes, it will “misplace” older ones and adds exclamation points to them?
At first I thought this was because I had to have my hard drive replaced and it lost the original songs but the more songs I add, the more get “lost” and now its started to affect the songs that I have purchased from iTunes recently so I KNOW its not due to the hard drive replacement. What can I do? Way too many of my songs are exclamationed now. I backed up the list several weeks ago because I had a suspicion this was what was wrong. The weird part is, even though the songs are gone in iTunes, it doesn’t delete them from the iPod. Even if I clear those songs. It will add the new ones just fine, but it won’t delete the old ones. There doesn’t appear to be any rhyme or reason to the deletion of my songs. They just go as I add more. I have 330 songs and 70 of them are exclamationed. I had more but started deleting them before I figured out what was happening. So far, I seems to only happen when I add new music, no matter where its from. It even happens when I purchase from iTunes. Please help before it kills my entire library!
I have an 8 gig iPod so I know its not because its full. Oh, and Im running on an older Gateway, but I can’t even begin to tell you what year or anything and OS is Windows XP Pro. I also have the latest version of iTunes and update regularly. Any other info you need?
I haven’t needed to lately, but Im scared for if I need to restore my iPod. (I have had to do it once before) Im sure that it will delete the songs that have been preserved that were deleted on the tunes. One more thing, it APPEARS to be mixing up the artwork on the iPod itself with other artists. For example, my Kerli artwork is now my Matchbox 20 artwork and so on. That problem is only with a few songs though.
Any ideas? Thanks SO much for trying to help!

Check your Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Music folder location to make sure that it is correct. Also, is "Keep iTunes Music folder organized checked"? Have you tried to Consolidate Library? (Note: I'm not saying to do that, yet, just asking if you have.) Have you used Windows Explorer to actually locate your music?
I've seen where iTunes could be "missing" a song but not indicate it with the exclamation mark until some action is attempted -- moving, dragging, playing. For me it would be because I forgot to turn on the external drive where my music is stored. But then, once I mount the drive, I still have to point iTunes to its Music folder again.

I wiped the hard drive and lost lightroom...please help before wife kills me...

Hi folks! First post here so go easy on the newb...
Our computer got slammed with a virus a few days back and we had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything. So we lost lightroom. The original version we had was downloaded to begin with... so the only serial number we had was wiped with the rest of the hd. (bonehead, i know) We do have an upgrade serial number from when we upgraded our lightroom a while back, but it is useless without the "original SN#" which we don't have.
Is there anything we can do?
Thanks!

Time to get paranoid. For the future, backup everything, especially serial numbers and the like. I have a program in which I store all passwords, logins, serial numbers, etc that I need. Of course it is encrypted and it takes a password to get into it, but that is only ONE password. It is a desktop/mobile application, so it gets synced with my phone. (We travel a lot, so I need this information when we travel). All downloaded products and associated stuff live on an external drive and are backed up to another external drive. There is another copy made occasionally that lives offsite. I put a text file in the "products" directory for each program in which I ALSO have the serial number and any additional information about installation -- like what you need to install an upgrade, etc. I have learned to be paranoid through experiences similar to yours...
I do admit though that the companies are getting much better about forgotten serial numbers than they used to be, so it looks like you are saved this time.
I hope you have a copy of the database and the images? The images are truly irreplaceable, and the database is valuable.

Please help before I kick my computer.. simple master-detail

I have 7 blocks each of them on a TAB canvas.
block 1 (customer info) is master to all of the blocks.
So as I query in block one, and bring the cust info, the rest of the blocks query as well.
Well, I dont understand why, but bloc 5 and 6 are completely ignoring the join condition on the query. they are fetching all of the records in those tables!! So after my query in stead of seeing the children of that client in block one, I get ALL of the children!! the stupid thing is that this only happens in block 5 and 6!!.
The joins are all done by the same varible in all the blocks, cust_id.
now if I delete the relationship from Block one towards block 5 and 6 and re run a query, they come up with Cero fetchs as expected, but if I put the relationship back on, again it retreives ALL of the children!!
any ideas why?
thanks so much. I already compared the block and they all seem to be set the same way...
thanks again

Normally, if you just use the block wizzard and the foreign key are defined in the database, Forms should do it all corrctly.
In Forms Builder, check the relations that are defined with block 1. Is the relation to blocks 5 and 6 correct?

What is currently showing on the screen?
Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons?
In the future, it might be best to leave other peoples devices alone.

At My Wits End - Please Help Before I Contact OFCO...

I have been loyal BT customer since... well having a landline in my name.
We have been experiencing problems with BT / BT Broadband now for over 3 months. During this period we have had over 6 engineer visits an countless phone calls to BT Customer Services and also their Priority Care desk and the problem is still not resolved.
Over 3 weeks ago I also sent an email to BT asking for contact from someone residing in the UK that could assist with the issue. I asked for a response within 10 working days and stated failure to respond would result in contacting OFCOM, watchdog and/or Trading Standards.
The problem comprises of two issues -
1] very slow broadband connection - no more than 0.13Mb/s at best (and that is when we have a connection at all
2] zero broadband connection
The telephone line crackles badly too, but as the landline is only there for the broadband this doesn't really concern us too much. We use our mobiles for phone calls.
A similar fault stems back to 2008 when we started experiencing slowing connection speeds, but after a service visit the fault appeared to be fixed until this time last year it slowed to a death again. Following another engineer visit connection stabilised at around 1Mb/s. Then 3 months ago the problem started all over again.
Whenever I call the customer service line, we get routed to their call centre in India where we just keep being fobbed off by engineer visits by engineers that are either not capable of doing the work or do not have the time allocated to do a comprehensive service.
We have been told a huge number of excuses (From aluminium in the ground running next to the cables to faults with our equipment in the house (which has all been replaced for new within the last 3 months) to "we can't find a problem") as to why the service is unstable and slow.
Another Engineer is booked for tomorrow morning, but I am fairly confident they will not solve the issue.
The lack of service is causing problems trying to sort out year end Self Assessment, book holidays, online banking etc... over and above communicating with family living abroad (via Skype) and general surfing - all things we can not do from work.
I have a brief record of all the attempts to resolve the issue including records of speed tests. I can also get the entire case history from BT if necessary (as I think they are compiled by law to hand over any notes they have taken). I also obviously have a copy of the email sent to direct to BT.
Can someone here please, please help or advise who I need to contact to get the issue sorted out for once and for all before I take the matter further?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1) What is the maximum speed you can get in your area? Type your number into the box on the right of the following web page:
http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=29017
It will tell you whether you can get BT Infinity and what your potential line speed is for your area.
2) What package are you on? All BT packages are subject to a Fair Usage policy. Even if you are on the 'Unlimited' package your speed will be slowed down if you are a heavy user. Contact BT (call 150 from a BT landline) and choose the options concerning questions about products. Don't choose the fault options else you'll be put through to India. This way you will hopefully be put through to somebody in England as I was, and you can get the matter solved more easily. Try and find out whether your account / line has been put under Network Management.
3) What products do you connect to the Internet with? Xbox? BT Vision? Give us a full list.
4) As the above user imjolly said, run the BT speedtester and post some of your router information. A moderator then may be able to provide assistance.

Urgent please help(program to kill running process)

I am trying to execute "alter system kill session '9,32'" from my java program.But the query doesn't seem to get executed.
please help me.
Here is my code.....
package package6;
import java.sql.*;
public class killProcess{
public static void createTable() {
Connection con=null;
Statement st;
try{
String alterSql = "alter system kill session '9,32'";
st = con.createStatement();
st.executeQuery(alterSql);
}catch(SQLException sql){
System.out.println("SQLException se"+sql);
public static Connection getConnection() throws SQLException{
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
}catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Class Not Found Exception");
Connection con =DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:abc","system","manager");
return con;
public static void main(String args[]){
dbconn2.createTable();

There is a lot of principial mistakes in youp example (I hope it just an example)
1. Never use a sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver in serious application - it is a lot of problems in this bridge. It can be used in tutorials only. You should use JDBC-diver from a manufacturer of your DB (http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers)
2. NEVER create a staic variables for obtaining a connection - connection is a complicated object with limited lifetime. Connection should be obtained from a spesial pool or DataSource. See http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/pooling/ if you use enterprise-java or http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/conpool.html for single application (but this is a tutorial only - the code is not work - contact me for obtaining a corrected code)
3. This code is ungrammatical
try{
String sql="alter system kill session '?,?'";
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
}catch(SQLException sql){
System.out.println("SQLException se"+sql);
you should write at least:
String sql="alter system kill session '?,?'";
Connection con = null;
PreparedStatement ps = null;
try{
con = getConnection();
ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
}catch(SQLException e){
System.out.println("SQLException se"+e);
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
try{
if(ps!=null)
ps.close();
}catch(Throwable ee){
ee.printStackTrace()
try{
con.close();
}catch(Throwable ee){
ee.printStackTrace()
And whot are you mean in command "alter system kill session '?,?'"
Whot is it '?,?' - may be '?','?'?
You should check syntax of your SQL-instruction.
but your problem is not in Java -
May be syntax of the SQL-command
May be you should use CallableStatement extends of PreparedStatement
It can depend on DataDase.
And don't forget to commin your connection.

Please help me from smashing my computer

about a week ago I started getting this little box popping up in the middle of every video I try to play it is a small box in the center of the video and it says on top Adobe Flash Player Settings then it says local storage s.ytimg.com is requesting permission to store information on your computer request: up to 10 KB Currently using: 1KB and has a picture of a little file on the botton and a button that says allow and another one that says deny. When I click deny it usually freezes up on me and won't let me get rid of it although on some videos it will disappear but then pop back up if I change the volume or something why it doing that and how do I get it to stop doing that I have Windows 8.1 and I have the latest version of adobe flash player please help it is driving me crazy and am at my wits end

Back everything up now if you haven't already.
I'd say use restore but I think it's too late for that to work for you.
Now that all your other music is safe you have to check what's running on your computer particularly if it can index files on its own ( a data sync program perhaps?).
It's unlikely that iTunes deleted your music but it's losing/confusing file paths and you need to find out why and another indexing/synching program is the first thing you check.
What little nuisance did HP install that you might not have activated till now ( I swear some of them are "sleepers". )?
Failing that it's an iTunes re-install but clear that up first.

Please help before 3-24-12 !!

Hmmm, Wiseguy, what's that scene in Blazing Saddles...? Where the guy holds a gun to his own head and says no one move or the n* gets it.
But let's see if we can get you straightened out.
Let's start with the support page for your computer.
You're going to want the update for the Pioneer firmware. The version of firmware they have here is 1.10 and you're running 1.00.
If that doesn't help, come back and we'll try something else.

Please help!! iPod freezing computer *after* restoring

I'm really hoping someone can help me. My 4G 40G iPod starting acting up last week. It was not showing up in iTunes, though it did show up in My Computer. After trying the normal fixes (resetting, changing to disk mode, etc.), I decided it was time once again to restore the thing (which I've done on 2 occassions since purchasing in Dec. 2004). Everytime I tried to run anything on the computer while the iPod was connected, the computer froze. I couldn't delete the drive from My Computer, I couldn't get the Updater to initialize to allow a restore, nada. I found instructions to run diagnostics manually, and everything passed. I finally gave up. It was still playing music and I just started charging the battery externally.
My husband connected it to the computer tonight and it suddenly showed up in iTunes. I took the opportunity to retore it, which worked. Everything seemed fine until I went to connect it to the computer again (after installing the firmware, or whatever) and it's doing the same old thing - only this time I don't have any music on it. Please help! I can't afford to buy another @#%#* iPod or to let my husband start taking mine to work everyday. Has anyone had this problem or can you solve it?
Despairing -
Dell Windows XP Pro

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC

Ok, so i always thought i was pretty tech savvy, but i have completely given up on what to do. I have a DV2945se 64 bit machine, and this is the second time i uploaded windows 7 64bit to it. a couple months ago my mother board went and i had to get it fix, probably due to the over heating of my laptop. but then i had reinstalled the original os and boom, over heating gone! problem is that now i reinstalled windows 7 and its right back to where it started, computer getting really hot and all. I'm scared its going break the mother board again and this is my main computer, PLEASE, help me

I know thre reason, why on vista it's ok and on w7 it's not.
On W7, do maximum power state of the processor to 99 percent. This is default on vista.
It helped a lot of people.
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with 'Accept as Solution', if it solves your problem.
