Dear all,

I recently used bitlocker on my Windows 7 to encrypt a Portable Harddisk but decided to decrypt it when i found out that bitlocker can't be opened in XP.

But halfway through the decryption, i accidentally pulled my laptops cord and it shutdown. When booted again, i can't open the Harddisk When i Try to open bitlocker drive encryption in control panel, it is not responding and also, my computer is not recognising the HD.

What do I do to recover the data in the HD please?

lesson number 1 never try to over do things by trying to be very technical like MI6 or CIA etc


did you try to unstall the program and then reinstall ?

why not i would teach her or encourage her to learn

Dis Guy:
Yes it is enabled

then read the microsoft link i gave you

D-sense:
What does the word mean to you?
To us it means  . . the main or general meaning of a piece of writing, a speech or a conversation,( to gist = understand) the gist of an argument.

it means the same to me i.e the main point of a subject

but the way you use it in context is wrong i.e i have read some people using it this way, GISTING or this This thread is specially opened for us to jist about our experiences either good, bad or worse,

guys help me is have seen the word GIST being used many times and from understanding it means something else to nigerians, is it nigerian slang or people dont understand its actual meaning ?

Dis Guy:
It uses ACPI

is it ENABLED ?

@edubaff. Does it download files on your hardrive? If it does not you may have poor internet access, just switch to the one that have strong signal in your area. If it can download it i.e it tells you download complete, and you are unable to open the file, the file may be damaged try downloading file from another site. If it tells you you do not have permission you may not have administrator right to install softwares try login as administrator or run it as administrator, to do this, right-click on the file and select "run as" Note: you will have to activate the administrator password if you do not have one before you can run as admistrator, to do this go to control panel and select user account and enable administrator password. These are if you running VISTA or 7, if you are running XP it may be virus effect, try getting an updated Kerspasky Antivirus.

and also check if the file being downloaded are the compressed with WINRAR or WINZIP

Edubaff:
Please help me my computer can't just download and install any thing from the net, be it games, antivirus or browser.

what does it say when it fails to download ?

Darthmaul:
Hello people. Pls i am having a self-inflicted problem with my Dell Inspiron, it started out as some keys not working so i decided to open and just see for myself which was unsuccesful. I had to couple it back and in doing so, when i power it on it responds for about 3 seconds and it goes off again. Pls i need some diagnostics. This is a case of 'curiosity they say, kills the cat'. Thanks

you failed to put back properly so there is nothing we can tell you to except to take to computer repair technician

Dis Guy:
what? You've only given me a definition, not solution

How do i enable my computer go into sleep/hibernate when/if i leave it unattended to for an hour?
you said i should change it to ACPI, HOW?? step by step

the first link isn't opening and the second link is a definition of acpi

the solution is there but you are in a hurry

the second link talk about ACPI and shows you the picture of BIOS setting


search how to get into your BIOS and then use the picture in the second link as refence to setting it up

Why does his family hate me ?

After years of marriage they still cant accept that there son, brother ect. is happily married.
Tried by best, always been friendly and showed respect, fullfilled all there wishes (gifts,money).

My husband says i should not bother, it is not my faults but still whats the problem ?

Ps. Im white.

dont bother much dear as long your are doing what seen by other people as good those speak on your behalf and see the good in you

ubiaa5:
Jenny why y are you wasting your breath with this guy that obviously follows what he reads in books rather than learning from the reality of what goes on from day to day,he has an 8 yr old so that makes him an authority,can he sincerely say how much time he spends with that child on a daily basis?

jennykadry:
Copying led to learning, that means before there can be learning there must be copying, a child cannot learn if he or she does not copy.

I work with kids, I have watched them grow, so sorry darling a child cannot learn if he or she does not copy, it is like giving a child a tooth brush, if that child hasn't seen someone use it before, he or she is just going to throw it away or play with it, or do something else with it, but if mummy has been giving that child a tooth brush and encouraged the child to do same as her, then that child will remember that mummy used that brush on her teeth.

Children learn how to walk by copying, children learn how to dance by copying, children learn how to clap their hands by copying

There is no difference btw copying and learning, without you showing them/telling them what to do, they are not Gods and can't decode it. They watch you do things everyday and copy you, and that's how they learn

ok lets agree to disagree we got different views and ways to teach

Equity7:
@ zimm,

pls how do i install visafone internt modem on a MAC computer?

i wasnt familiar with that product but i google and it is just like any other MOBILE USB BROADBAND DONGLE it should have a built in SET UP EXE to install or CD/DVD with installations files

jennykadry:
copying led to the learning

thats i know but we cant really say copying is learning hence you said LED TO

jennykadry:
Zim your explanation is not making sense(no offense)


He copied mummy and that was how he learnt


I give up on you jare, Kids learn from copying, I have watched kids grow up, study kids growth and developmental stage even if you have to get a book for it, pls do, it will help answer your question.

my explanation is very clear dear


on your example he didnt learn he just copied hence he used his shirt

well lets agree to disagree

kabukabu50:
a)You should tip because the servers usually make a minimal salary.
b)You tip to be remembered.
c)You tip because its common courtesy.

Nigerians wont tip,but they will shower money on strangers at owambe.
Talk about greasy.

are you crazy

a s/he was not forced to take the job

b there better ways to be remembered

c courtsey for what when am paying for service

it seems like it is an american thing to tip much of the world doesnt

jennykadry:
I have a nephew that learnt how to clean his hands after eating just by watching mummy, whenever mummy finish eating, she washes her hands and dries with a napkin or hand towel, unknowingly to her, her son would watch her and copy same, but this time using his shirt. He was always copying mummy until it became a part of him and that was how he learnt good hand hygiene

you didnt think through with your example

he copied but he didnt know why they did it, so he didnt learn, when you learn you know why you do it

thats the reason he used his shirt becoz he didnt learn he thought that anything can be used to wipe off

when you learn you know the reason why you do it and what is not supposed to be done during the process and also what is not supposed to be used

i hope you get my drift

a good example a male child can copy to open his zippers and pull his willy out to pee but he wouldnt have learn to pull up his willy and aim for the toilet seat, which is a crucial thing he will just spoil his trousers

abiolag:
i just got this HP compaq nc6220 fairly used with window 7 loaded on it but i'm having difficulties running some software.after download d software and trying to install it will show e.g "c:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/AdbeRdr1001_en_US.exe is not a valid Win32 application" java runtime is not installing and some other useful softwares. pls what should i do

and are the downloads from the official sites?

ubiaa5:
What is this whole argument about.

Dis Guy:
what's that? Microsoft XP

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907477

if not go into your BIOS and change to ACPI i.e enable it

jennykadry:
LOL, struck a nerve did I? Mr man go and have kids before you come on here and post

i got an 8 year old daughter

learning and copying are different things

i.e if a kid is burnt by fire s/he learns that it hurts if s/he put his/her hand

but if you hurt yourself from the fire while s/he is looking s/he will only may be copy your reaction but s/he hasnt learn anything

manny4life:
My own organization doesn't even block these site, but when they blocked NL, I revolted. I kindly sent IT an email requesting them to take it off their list and they did. So just ask them to take it off, they might be nice enough to remove you computer from that list. What really scares me is that sites like NL, someone tried for some reason someone tried to do some phony stuff using my IP address, like I was told by IT, they couldn't get any further. I don't know what the security platform of your organization is, but networking sites to my knowledge do have certain security threat levels and it reduces productivity so again just talk to IT, they might be nice enough to take your computer off the list.

it depends with organization, even if you talk to the IT he might refuse becoz him answers to his IT supervisor, so your supervisor might ask why you are being able to access such sites when there supposed to be block so the IT guy might be in trouble

so the thing is, would the IT risk it for you ?

Dis Guy:
Desktop

then you need changing from BIOS which OS are you using ?

denzel2009:
How can you have a P2P client on your work PC? Things people take for granted sha,you'll make the Enterprise network vulnerable to hacking and intrusions.

Please dont advice people to bypasss proxy servers especially at work, that's the easiest way to get sacked- Computer misuse Act

besides being sacked the administrator can block all privileges to change such settings

jennykadry:
Lol what an argument ZIM have you got a kid or kids? if you had, you wouldn't have made the comment above

its not your fault you dont know the difference

eg do people go to school to learn or to copy

Dis Guy:
here again

My computer is not hibernating/sleeping when i leave it for over 30mins>1 hour

I already did the setting but it just stays on only the monitor goes off

is it laptop or desktop?


NB settings are in two categories on a laptop ON BATTERY and PLUGGED IN

samolina1:
@zim drill. I think you should come straight!

to say your name ? there was no need to only the two us firstly responded and i was right and you were wrong

denzel2009:
These are restricted sites on your Organization's network. There's something called Access Control Lists,they are used to block specific IP traffic on a company's network. You admin rights doesn't really do much, it's just for you to work on your PC.

yes

someone was misleading him

Tope4all:
Thanks. I have administrative rights to an extent. The desktop am provided with is too slow for my liking and so I use my laptop - hp pavillion dv6-2150us. When I connect it to the org's port in the morn, so many sites wont open, even NL. Now am on my IZAP but i cant continue using it because i have to be online all day.

before using your OWN pc where you able to connect to those sites using the WORK PC ?

mind you administrative right can be given accordingly i.e manage a group, printer but it doesnt mean you have right to block sites etc

Equity7:
@ zimdrill, here i come again!

ia customer brought a hand-held PC to me for language reconfiguration and honestly, i don't know how to get to the BIOS to change the language settings from Chinese to English.

your help would be appreciated.

Go to the manufacture's web site and get a user manual or service manual

samolina1:
@zim drill. How do you know that? Anyone can go to social sites if they like or is it a sin to visit social site? And he said "my PC" which means that he is the administrator or have administrative right. @tope4all. Which browser do you use? Does anyone(computer geek) use your computer? Are you sure it's not been blocked by firewall or restricted by your browser? You may try installing different browser!

simple i am systems administrator we always block such sites

remember he said it is a WORK PC it doesnt go direct to the internet it goes through a company default route and the administrator set up that

Tope4all:
Please house, my PC at work can't open Facebook, twitter, etc. It categorised these as 'online communities'. What can I do to enable these sites?
Thanks.

the system administrator blocked them, you waste production time on social sites
