Hi johnb35! Thanks a lot for your help! I tried your suggestion and it worked! The problem is now solved! :)

Hello, I have a problem. My WiFi doesn't appear on my computer in the WiFi list. There is no problem when I use my old router. But I can't use it now because it is too slow. My Internet provider provided a router and since then, I can't see the WiFi. I can't change the router. They installed...

But I never droped or slamed my external hard drive. It is on my desk, unplugged all the time from my computer and from the power outlet. The only time I plug it and I use it is when I do a ghost image of my laptop, which is about 2 times a year, and when I want to copy my video files, which is...

I have been able to backup everything with the exception of two video files.

Sorry, I speak French and in French we write Go. I just forgot to translate I am so used to write Go, I should have written GB.

I have to replace the drive??!! :mad: I'm really angry! I have almost not used it. I have only used it to store my ghost images and my video files. The rest of the time, it is always unplugged and not used at all! I really don't understand! :(

Hello, I made some seatools tests, and there was no problem with the "short generic" test but the "short drive self" test failed. Here what seatools tells me about this fail: Unfortunately, your Seagate product has failed an important diagnostic test, possibly caused by problem sectors which are...

I have a Seagate external hard drive that is 1.36 To and NTFS, that is connected to my laptop via a usb cable and that I haven't used so much since I bought it (about 2 years ago). I sometimes put video files that are large .mp4 and .avi files (more than 1 Go) on it. Almost every times I copy...

Hello, I updated my display drivers and now the screen saver is working... Strange... Thank you

I'd be surprised if it's a stuck key because I have bought my laptop less than 1 year ago. And if it was the case I would have noticed it. No, it's not set the same for when the ac is plugged and on battery. Thank you

Hello, I have a problem with the screen saver and the "Dim the display" and "Turn off the display" features in power management on my laptop: they don't work. I tried setting all them to 1 minute and nothing happen. I tried with my wireless keyboard and mouse unplugged with no help. However...

VLC needs the FluidSynth codec in order to play midi file but this codec is no longer supported by VLC when running on Windows. But I have found the solution: 1- Download a midi soundfount (.sf2 file). 2- Install VirtualMIDISynth (http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth). It will...

I'm using Windows Media Player. VLC does not play midi files.

I bought my laptop less than 1 year ago and it cost me 1100$ but I just realized that it has difficulties playing midi files. The sound cut off and there are "click" sounds. I wonder if it is because my sound card is too weak. I had no problem with midi files with my previous laptop which was...

Thank you for your answers. I'm not using Catalyst. I have Crimson (link) which is the new Radeon software. You can see below the main window (Radeon settings window). Sorry for the french language, I speak french. First, what is strange, the "Display" tab is missing. You can see in the...

Hello, I tried to plug my laptop to my LCD TV using a HDMI cable but I have a display problem on my TV. The edges of the screen are cut off on my TV. For example, I can't see the task bar or the menu bar of any window. From the search I did on internet, it seems to be caused by a behavior of...

My wireless router is on my desk at about 3 feet away from my laptop. The signal strength is strong. I sometimes use my laptop in other places in my home but I usually use it on my desk and when I executed the speed test, I was on my desk. Thank you.

Since I installed these drivers, the download speed test gives around 4-5 Mbit/s. It's a big improvement but it's less than the 10 Mbit/s that I'm getting with the LAN cable plugged to the laptop. Is this difference normal? Thanks a lot again!

Thank you for your reply! Here's what you asked:

Hello, The technicians at the computer store just updated my drivers and the problem seems the be solved. But since my laptop is back to home, I have now a new problem. The wireless connection speed is extremely slow. I did a speed test on a web site and I'm getting only 0.5 Mbit/s for the...
