Pls,i need urgent assistance.my screen of my android tab is no longer working &i need d files on phone storage 4 my exam.How do i view d files when connected to a computer without 'turning on usb storage'.unfortunately,my default setting is 'usb mass storage'! PLS HELP!

sameolg616:

possible causes:
1..ram memory issues..blowing the ram slot used to work back then but its most likely incompactible ram module..remove the ram modules and fix one by one and restart...or get a working ram and fix..
2...it might be ur motherboard is faulty- press the caps key to toggle on/off..if it doesnt come on then meet ur hardware tech...

sameolg616:

the attrib command only restores the attributes of ur folders and files temporarily but never removes the causing-virus itself...had a similar case over the weekend and like a joke it took 3hrs to remedy the situation(he is a dj playing live at a lounge)..first,i tried to download the latest kaspersky 2016 antivirus staright to the system(i dint wan infect my hard drive) and the new AV comes wit the complete updates..problem was,i restarted the system then the trojan took over again...
solution that worked(i described it some days ago).i put in my live usb and re-installed win7 (not upgrade,clean install without formating the partition)..it would warn u there exists a current OS..not to worry,continue ur installation..
when its done,all ur old files wld be stored in a folder "windows.old"(dont open them yet..
quickly install a strong antivirus and its corresponding updates...now scan the whole computer or just the folder windows.old..
the shortcomings of ths type of recovery is that u will need to re-install alll ur apps but alll ur files wld be intact..
THE BEST METHOD remains...remove the hard drive,put in an external hdd enclosure and scan from a clean system with a strong antivirus...if u wondering why i dint use this method the..its simple--i started getting some messages that some certain systems files were corrupt...its very possible too that some may be corrupt wen u use this method(some infected files may not be disinfected but qurantined and for mr "avast" it wld delete...so in the end u may still have to reload the os!
THE WORST METHOD wld be to install an antivirus into an already infected system...pple that right malicious codes aint dumb,the make smart viruses that can render the AV useless the moment its being installed...

sameolg616:

windows 10 is still in its testing mode...so expect errors...
i would always advise a clean install in most cases..obviously,your system make is currently experiencing difficulties from any:
1..certain updates not compactible with ur driver and components,applications
2...ur hard drive may have errors ie bad sectors thereby making it difficult to boot
for now,assessing "only" your present complaint and observation,i would leave the rest because any other cause wld appear after booting and give an error..
solution..
bakup your files first...(im sorry i cant type how to again..im tired)
2...specify the previous os before the upgrade(ie win 7 or 8 32bit or 64bit)
3...contact me on 08061679732...i have only win 10 enterprise 64bit...it wld work for a clean install no matter the os u had..
else contact bill gates(lol)

Why taking that long process if you have a restore point? If you are interested in getting it solved in Windows 7, as the case may be with this one, you can use avg at the Safe Mode to do that or simply disable all non-Microsoft services and install a potential malware-antivirus tool and do the scan.

If the person in question is vast with computer administration and troubleshooting he can solve the problem without doing new installation. The commands work along with malwarebytes.

Windows 10 is not longer in testing mode but in final. The truth is that one might come across errors along the line of using it in daily routines.

It is right to make sure he backup all important data to external drive before proceeding with the upgrade. The only way to get it activated for free is to upgrade a genuinely licensed Windows 7 or 8 through 8.1.

I'm having issues browsing with my laptop, pop up adverts keep showing and also new tabs open without my consent. This happens on google chrome.
Also mozilla firefox tells me to check my proxy settings as my proxy server is refusing connections.

Please how do I resolve these??

Pls I got a mini laptop 110-3500 series windows 7 32bits d bluetooth Ȋ̝̊̅§ working fine but the wifi adapter driver is missing it only shows d LAN icon while d option for connect to a wireless network was not there and I tried downloading wifi adapter driver but they all failed it shows error 31 on the device manger

sameolg616:

I expected some1 like u to know better wen I say "it's still in testing mode"..just cuz they say final doesn't mean they stopped testing it-it means its stable enough for u consumers..and the compNy now awaits pples observations,complaints and suggestions which wld aid they in preparing updates and in turn a service pack..I suggest u start reading the information contained in the updates u install so u know beta.."on the road of quality,there is no end or final "

sameolg616:

Do u wan bet restore mode can be ineffective Atimes?besides i can't recall it being mentioned in the post.its allowed u corrected urself saying using attrib with malware byte.i really don't wan debate this issue longer than necessary but the complexity of the problem in view dictates which method to use..alongside ur experience.the new variant is A stubborn Trojan dropper(fraudrop) and it's more potent than u think..

sameolg616:

oga,state the model of the mini laptop...if ur sure its not a device driver problem...them u havent turned on the wifi hardware using a combination of keys...check on ur laptop keyboard or look for a wifi switch on the body of the laptop....(keystrokes may differ according to different makes and models)

all4naija:

Dude, I don't think you are conversant with LNK and shortcut errors. The fact that you are begging the question means you are one stubborn person who thinks he knows about it more than the others whereas you know nothing. Please, stop making it look like the idea is reserve for one particular solution. I didn't read where another individual talks about system restore and there is nothing wrong is point it out in my post.

All avenues must be tried before taking the last resort of doing clean install. There is even a registry delete and flags-creating method which I didn't mention and it works effectively at times.

it's a hp mini 110-3604ei laptop and it doesn't require any key combination to switch on d wifi cos a key with a bluetooth/wifitower controls both d bluetooth A̶̲̥̅̊₪d d wifi adapter A̶̲̥̅̊₪d ones I press d key d bluetooth goes on but d wifi option is totally missing but I noticed a driver named "Network Controller" refuses to work it has a yellow exclamation showing on it on d device manager

adetwin:



Try installing it again! Do a clean installation instead

Ok, I'll do dat

sameolg616:

is someone intimidated?nawa o...i tink i wld be foolish to stoop low to ur level and be debating wit u....av not been on this forum for a very long time and i tink my image/integrity precedes me..im here to help the people like sly(u just read my posts2days ago and i attended to his prob instantly-let him testify)..ITS NOT BRAGGING CUZ I CAN ALWAYS BACK IT UP..
on a last note,u can decode this statement "the complexity of the problem in view dictates which method to use..alongside ur experience[i][/i]"
i dont pretend to be a man of the people but a man for the pple

pls always make it important to always version of operating system in full like windows 7 ultimate,premium 32bit or 64bit so we can knowhow to assess the problem accurately(different os versions have their limits)
its hard to access the problem from here but ur proxy issue may be from multiple connections or from the use of an earlier proxy setting or software(hotspot shield or those software u pple use for free browsing)..in mozilla,goto tools--->options,advanced--->network then settings and choose "no proxy"
as for ur multiple tabs opening,i suggest u uninstall and re-install it (if it were mozilla,u can refresh the settings to default)
or
simply
try this just before anything else(in case ur system has been hit by an adware)as a temp measure..create a new profile:
1..goto control panel
then users or user account
2..create a new user wit adminstrator rights
3..log off the current account and login to the new one and observe if the problem persists...
until then can i make further suggestions
