(1) How can I enable hibernation on my system as it is not showing on the main menu.
(2) My USB ports are not working

1) This behavior can happen if you have used disk clean up. 

XP or Vista ? since I don't have this information I"ll be going

for XP due to it's popularity. right,


Hold down Windows logo + R then you will get a box

type in there[b] cmd[/b] press enter then powercfg /hibernate on

@My USB ports are not working

What happened when you plugged in something ?

Any notifications or errors

Good luck however

Am equally experiencing d sem prob wt my LG flash and it nw seems dat d are fake flash drives.

Follow the above instructions. Good luck

Pls, I don't know if you can help me out with this problem.
I have a two gig LG flash that contains the information of
websites clients and other projects. I suddenly cannot access it.
Each time i insert in into the USB port the response I get
is 'USB Device Not Recognized'.

This problem started recently and I urgently need to retrieve
the data in it in order to not to tarnish my image with my clients.

Pls, do you have an idea of what the problem is and how to
get the data in the flash disc?

We would appreciate it if you can tell us make and model of your computer as this will speed up
getting you replies from tecs. right the fact that you"re getting that message means your computer ports

are working ok if it isn't then you wouldn't get that message. am clear ?

Is down to a software problem. does the stick came with any software disk

Try checking LG website for driver/firmware update

Hold down windows logo + E on your keyboard

you will get a box that says C HARD DRIVE DVD RW

What else can you see in there ?

Hold down Microsoft logo + R

A box should pop up Run

Type in there devmgmt.msc

and look universal serial bus controller

do you have a exclamation there

more than likely double click on the yellow sign please

and tell us what it says e.g. code number or it might

says this device is working properly

Good luck however

The bluish grey discharge is cause by the oxidation of metallics parts around the port due to fluid or electrical partial contact,have tech wash the main board with thinner or alcohol and check for partially solder joint it should stop and help. thanks

The Motherboard need changing because the DC and  USB port are mounted on the motherboard. if the above suggestion work.

The USB Ports is likely to fail because of static discharge. apart from that best bet is to change the Mobo

Good luck however

Any problem?y did u bring out all my data lyk dt?

I only quoted you that all.

Can't See My Desktop
« on: Yesterday at 10:20:25 AM »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello NLders,

I shut down my laptop yesterday and by this morning, after booting it on, i couldn't see my desktop. It boots normally, but when it gets to my desktop, all i see is my wallpaper and nothing else. Is there anything i can do?

Thanks. . .

I'm guessing you have Norton installed. having said that turn off your laptop please

back on and keep pressing F8 until you see a black screen with advance option

use your arrow key to highlight safe mode and press enter

dont be alarm ! your icons screen will be big just thought i mention that.lol

when in safe can you see your icons this what we need to know if you

cant see in safe mode then follow my colleague advice @Scantee

try this whilst in safe mode or as simple as look for the programme

you like to add back to your desktop by right cliking and

add to desktop or send to desktop. Good luck however

I wouldnt know what type of technology exist in nigeria. having said you"ll be better off going into a local computer shop

or enquiring from Internet service provider on how you can get 3G service which you can use to connet no matter

where you are in the country. Good luck however

Re: My Laptop Is Rejecting All Antirus
« #1 on: November 02, 2009, 06:56 PM »

Hi Godmother. What exactly is the problem? Is the antivirus refusing to install? If that is the case, then you probably have a virus like Sality, it prevents executables from running. The only antivirus that I have found, which can handle Sality, is Norton 2008 or Norton Internet Security 2008 UPWARDS. This is because unlike many other antiviruses, it does not unpack into the Application Data folder, which is a folder that Sality will be watching.

So I suggest you install Norton. If you do not have it, download a trial (I think it will give you 15-days) from Symantec website (Google it). Also download the most recent update of Norton antivirus using another computer, and burn the two to a CD. After installing from CD, run the update from CD as well. Then do a full system scan, that should take care of Sality or any of its friends and families.

When you are done, you can decide to either purchase a license for Norton and keep using it, or just uninstall Norton and use a GOOD antivirus afterwards, lest Sality come back in again.

Three AVs I can recommend are:
Norton
ESET Smart Security
Kaspersky (orginal, because cracked ones will give you more problems)

If you have any other questions or problems arise, reply this post and let me know.

Cheers

With due respect bro. @Godmother based on my years of experience I wont suggest installing norton

It's has some known issues. Tecs at nairaland correct me if am wrong. Good luck however

  Vista Laptop Cannot Download Mail Attachment
« on: Today at 05:54:00 AM » 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my vista laptop no longer download attachment from mail messages.what can i do.pls help

with due respect to ade9ja. @poster to enable us to troubleshoot your problem we need to know what type

of email client you are using e.g Outlook, WIndows mail, Thunderbired. That the first basic question and what happened when you trying opening

your attachment sometime it might says you need to set extention in the control panel folder option such as .doc .rtf .pdf .rar .zip . xlm .docx etc

just to mention a few I had a customer 1 month ago with this problem all i asked was what type of email and what does it give error message

when opening she said yes and then i ask her does she have excel package installed she said no then that explain it then

so therefore we need to know what happened at that moment or you can ask the person that sent you the

attachment how and what software was used as this would explain things further . Good luck however

hey, guyz please i need your assistance before i loss my job.i work with a small firm and part of my job require me sending mails in bulk, well all has been going on well for me untill when an IT student came to are office for his IT.He taught my boss how to use AMS(Advanvce mass sender) which help us alot in sending our mails, and that gave us more time for other jobs.well my problem started when he left after his IT.Which makes us back to square one, because he has been providing us with SMTP, which we use in sending the mails.i tried calling him,he told me to go get the software that will providing the SMTP for me.All am asking you guyz is to help me with the sotfware that can provide the SMTP, with username and password, i tried google but no result that why am begging you guyz to help me.my wedding is coming up in nov 28, abeg make i no loss my job before or after the wedding, my boss don dey threating me hoooooo!!!. i just wanna know where i can download the software or if anybody can help with it.

I dont get what you mean. try and be specific. what email do you use ? Outlook express or third parties. SMTP varies e.g. EMail client etc

You also need a correct POP3 settings which is the incoming mail server.check this out http://www.soft82.com/get/download/Windows/Advanced_Mass_Sender Good luck
