What is wrong with my computer?
What is wrong with my computer? I formatted it and when all was said and done, I realized a few features didn't work. Pandora would not play music, it would just show the logo. Also, when I would go to the HP website, I could not see the computer drivers because it would take so long to load. Also, when I am on Netflix, the subtitles cannot appear, no matter how many times I click on subtitles. I have all the necessary programs: Flash, reader, shockwave, etx. So what could cause this issue?

1 AnswerDesktops6 years agoWhat is the name of this (possibly communist) movie?
I watched this video on youtube called The Greatest Speech Ever Made. It was a speech delivered by Charlie Chaplin and it was a montage of emotion-stirring scenes from various movies and tv shows. (not spamming, but here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WibmcsEGLKo)
One particular movie which captured my attention was one I believe is possibly some 1984-like movie. It shows scientists staring ahead and studying something while a projector beams behind them (0:52) and men mindlessly marching on a catwalk in a factory and falling (1:23). Machines move below them and their shadows cast a Communist symbol on the walls (2:07) and pink meat comes out of a meat grinder.
THE SCENE I SEARCH FOR THE MOST is one where it shows children taking off masks and jumping up and cheering. (2:47) at some school or gym.
Keep in mind, I only think those scenes are connected and part of the same movie because they are all gray and depressing. I have been searching for this movie for a long time now. Could anyone please tell me what it is?
3 AnswersMovies7 years agoWhy is there a mismatch between a car's online and local price?
So I am about to go to college soon. I want to buy me a car. I want a cheap, fuel efficient car. I am interested in the Nissan Versa. However, the online MSRP is $11,990. That is the posted price on the Nissan website and the local dealer's website. However, when I arrived on location, I inquired the man about it and he told me the price was $16,300 (or something like that) My question is, why is the online price listed as $11,990 and the price at the location listed as $16,300? Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks!
1 AnswerOther - Car Makes8 years agoMicrosoft Technician's Scam? Or legit help?
So earlier today, out of the blue, I received a call from a guy in an Indian accent saying he was a Technician from Microsoft. He told me to go on a website called GBM Tech support and asked me to download Teamviewer on my computer so that he could help the delete the viruses on m computer. He opened up MSCONFIG and showed me all the programs that were not running and were supposed to, programs that were created by Microsoft Corporation and he said that in order to get the programs running again, I would have to pay a "nominal" fee. He said the viruses caused the license to be void and caused them to stop running.
What I found weird was that he actually called me and got a report from my computer that it had viruses, because a file I was downloading was putting viruses into the computer, even asked me to open up Administrative Events to show me all the errors. I mean, I hardly ever hear of computer companies actually calling the owner of the computer and offering to help them. I told the guy I would just reformat my computer and take of it that way. He seemed shocked and told me okay and soon stopped bothering me. So my question is, has anyone else gotten a call like that? I wasn't about to give the guy money to restart some programs. Was this legit? Anyway I can start them back again without paying? Thanks.

2 AnswersSoftware8 years agoNewton's law of Universal Gravitation?
Okay, so from my understanding, the equation is F=Gm1*m2/d^2. However, I see the equation written sometimes as F=G(m1*m2/d^2), which gives me a different answer. And sometimes, I see it written those ways but with an r instead of a d... So what's going on? Why are the equations different?
1 AnswerPhysics8 years agoIs there a fast way to edit songs in Windows Explorer?
So I decided to redo my iTunes library due to several inconsistencies.However I notice that many songs show up in my library as 01 Songname, for example. I noticed that the problem was because on the actual file, it does not have a number under the # column in Windows Explorer. In order for the problem to be fixed, I have to go to each song individually and add a track number. Is there a faster way to do this? Thanks.
3 AnswersSoftware8 years agoiMessage problem/email.?
Okay, so let me start off by saying that when I text people, I text them off of my email. I learned a while ago that if you add "@vtext.com" to the end of the number. However, lately for some reason, I have not been able to do that to new numbers. I can only message contacts like that which have already been in my contacts. When I send a message to phonenumber@vtext.com, some numbers come back with phonenumber@vzwpix.com" What happened? Why is their address different than when I sent it and how come they got it o begin with if the addresses are different? Also, when I message some people (that have an iPhone), I can't type in their number and add @vtext.com, it HAS to be @vzwpix.com. When they do they back, it doesn't come into my mail, but rather my iMessage. I want to get all my messages in one place and using one suffix. What should I do. Is there a way I can select specific contacts so that I can receive their texts through iMessage? Thanks.
3 AnswersCell Phones & Plans8 years agoiTunes main folder self re-creates?
So I have a terabyte hard drive and I am making the move to transfer all my important files to that HDD. I have coped/pasted the music files to the HDD and deleted the iTunes folder there. I planned to use the iTunes folder on my HDD, however, every time I open up iTunes, the file I deleted comes back. If I add music on iTunes, the Library information on THAT file gets updated, not the one on my HDD. Any ideas on how I can use the Library file on my HDD and stop the folder from coming back after its deleted? Thanks.
1 AnswerSoftware8 years agoYouTube won't let me use my real name?
So lately, I've been on youtube attempting to post comments and it asks me to use my real name. I gave in and said, what the hell? So I enter in my real name and I get to the end of the menu and it just tells me to "Check your name and create a profile." I click continue but it does not do anything. What is the issue here?
1 AnswerYouTube9 years agoWhy won't a computer get internet?
So I went to a friend's house to fix their computer, it was really slow. After I did that, they told me they wanted to delete the password on their wifi because they did not even know what it was. They receive internet on their desktop by hooking it up directly to the modem. I entered in the default IP address, (the 192. something one) and rummaged through their wifi settings. It was westtell and I was not familiar with it but did see a tab that read Public LAN Settings. I checked Public LAN thinking it would make the wifi public, (closest thing I could see to deleting a password) and when the modem reset, I could not receive internet. The wifi still showed up but it asked me to enter in the password, which neither of us knew. What went wrong and how can this problem be resolved? Thanks.
1 AnswerComputer Networking9 years agoShould I delete the files on my new external HDD?
So I just bought me a "Toshiba Automatic Backup Portable Hard Drive." It is red and is 1TB. I noticed that it had LOTS of files already installed and since I really do not care for the backup aspect of it, I really want to delete them. I just want this HDD for storing my videos and othe rlarge files. Problem is, when I try to delete them, it tells me that deleting those files may damage the system. I wanted to go ahead and do it anyways but decided against it. Should I go ahead and delete them? I noticed that Win 7 has a wizard for selecting this HDD for backup ANYWAYS so I really do not need the pre-installed software. Any suggestions?
1 AnswerOther - Hardware9 years agoCan I revert back to Win 7?
Okay, so I want to download the BETA or whatever version of Win 8, which MS has on their website. I want to try it and then revert back to Win 7 if I do not like it. Now, before I do so, I want to make sure that I can revert back to Win 7. As soon as the computer is loading, it says to click ESC for startup options and one of them lets me revert back to factory settings, which will reinstall Win 7. So, if I install Win 8, will it still show me this option, or will it get rid of it all together? Any extra information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

2 AnswersOther - Food & Drink9 years agoWhy are my Yahoo! Contacts not on my iPod Touch?
Okay so I was having some duplication errors on my iPod touch and decided to erase my contacts from my iPod Touch. I went to Mail, contacts, and Calender. I went to my emial account and turned off my Yahoo contacts, deleted them, and them turned it back on. Usually, this puts them back on the iPod as before, right? Well, this time however, my contacts were not updated, as a matter of fact, they do not show up at all. I want to know, why? It was working before and now it is not. I am aware that I can just hook it up to my computer and go to info and check Sync Contacts with,,, but it was working before so I do not have to resort to that when it was flawless at first. Funny thing is, despite the fact that my Contacts are gone, deleted, disappeared, when I go to my email and type in a name, THEY SHOW UP! I do not know how or why that happens! To conclude, I really just need help syncing my contacts back to my iPod WITHOUT having to use the Info tab, which I've never before used till now (because I had no previous problem with it). Plus, why is it that the contacts still show up when I type in a name and is it possible to delete them because often they are duplicated? Thanks.
1 AnswerMusic & Music Players9 years agoWhat is the name of this old movie?
Okay so I remember some scenes from an old movie when I was younger. I roughly remember that the main characters had to have been a group of girls and maybe a group of guys. I remember that at one point the girls were troubled and told the guys that they would let the boys come over but only on a certain signal. The boys stayed up watching the girls house and waited for the signal. It finally came it was a lamp flicking on and off a few times and the boys said that that must be the signal and then they came over. Later, I remember the girls being on TV because they were protesting an act of chopping down their favorite tree. The tree choppers tried to calm them but it got bigger and bigger till news media got there. So... Does anyone know the name of this movie? Thanks.

Okay so I've read many books, seen many movies, where there is always a problem of electromagnetic radiation (or any type of radiation for that matter) to be sent off and detected by the enemy. Well, is there any way this could be stopped? Like is there any proposed theory of how to at least cloak it to where it is not detected? Thanks.
1 AnswerPhysics9 years agoDoes the future hold Mac Viruses?
So I hear a lot of people saying that Apple Macs are not able to get viruses because the majority of people use Windows... Well, lately Apple has gotten a lot of products out there and a lot of people are using Macs more than ever. So does that mean that the promise of no viruses will eventually be deemed a lie, since more hackers will start to develop viruses for iOS devises in order to catch up witht he trend of so many people using iOS devises? Its plausible right? What are your thoughts?
