all4naija: Your system time and date are not correct. Please, correct your system time and date. Right-click on the time and date icon on the systray on the extreme right-hand corner of your screen and select 'Adjust Time and Date'. Set the time and date to the correct time in your country.

That is the problem.

onegig: it won't work.. The vga card is not supported by windows 7 and intel never made a windows 7 driver for it. Even if he stop it in compatibility mode it won't install naturally except he extracts and locates the driver from there. Which he has done.
En en..ow do u know it won't work?just cuz it int listed doesn't mean a device driver ws never created for it..to butress 'all4nija' point(he was on point)-instead of searching online..4me,I use a driverpack cd (drp) to scan all drivers,it wld scan automticticlly and for any 'not available',it wld refer u to a proper hardware site using the unknown hardware-id/vendors extracted from d system so u can download

onegig: your files are intact. The problem is caused by a virus which turns active folder and files to shortcuts. Here's how to resolve it.

https://www.nairaland.com/1268682/how-resolve-hidden-files-flash
R u aware the author of that 'virus' is aware of that option.?ur resolve only reverts hhidden files(-h)..from my experience and study..the author added other parameters to make it more potent(+s make it system file),(-a makes it not accessible) so the most potent resolve is to 1st tink like the author then u can remedy the situation..
Its not even a virus and totally harmless.if have good DOS programming bckground then u'd understnd it beta..just typethe correct PATHS and ur files wld appear eg if u had a 1GIG folder that has been turned into a shortcut..just type E:\1GIG and ur files wld reappear..(Where e:is the drive name ),for non professionals,just copy all ur files..create a new folder 1GIG2 and paste in there..delete all the shortcuts..for pros,no need all that wahala..just goto CMD as admin and type CD\ (to go to root directory)
E: (to change path to the infected drive)
Attrib -h -s +a /S /D *.* and hit enter

Solution2: scan the drive wit a strong antivirus,I use kaspersky..it wld immediately flush out the rootkit causing the problem and all ur files wld be restored in d right path

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by tomzman: 7:25am On Sep 16, 2013
pls I need replies to my earlier post.
Secondly, one idiyot over here wanted to close my PC yesterday but ended up slamming it. Now, my pc is showing lines with different colours which I guess should be a screen problem. I'm I wrong or right and if I'm right, like how much would it cost me to repair it. Lest I forget, it's an hp650.

The swift router is working fine, when connected firectly to it or through wifi, everything fworks fine
onegig:

Focus more on the swift router....

If its blocking some sites on certain systems or operating systems then the problem is with the protocol supported on the router.

Since the system worked fine before the introduction of the swift router. the problem is with the swift router.

I don't think there's any problem with the windows 7 systems or their configurations. maybe the router is old and is not compatible with later versions of windows after xp.

actually i can play music and view pictures. And also open few system apps. Luckily i have a backup of C in D. So im thinking of formatting the system completly. I still have all my setup files in the backup. I reinstalled my pc suite yersterday so i can use my fone to browse. As 4 partial installation, thats what i suspect cos i disturbed the installation by mistake but later used the same cd to repair windows. A few ealier errors was corrected. But my C still write u dont have permission to view this. Access denied!

afegbua:

i tried that before..i unistalled the vga driver and the display went very big as if the screen was too small..i instaled the one i downloaded and it told me that my computer cannot work with it and then the installer was exitted automatically...i had to do a system restore for it to return to its normal display size...i have deleted the driver i downloaded since its not compatible
i even tried to tweak it like u told me to do but it said a driver was not found in he computer even after i narroed the browse down to my desktop where i extracted the driver to.

pls could u gime a link to get the driver that will work for it so i can try again? i tink all dis problem is comin cos the default windows is XP before i installed windows 7 or maybe the system VGA for windows 7 is not yet available.
thanks.

1. First and foremost, right-click on your 'Computer' at your desktop and click 'Manage'.

2. At 'Compute Management' click on 'Device Manager' and look to the right-hand side of the dialogue for 'Display Adapter', right-click on the file with yellow indicator and click 'Properties'.

3. On next dialogue click 'Details' tab. Under 'Property' select 'Hardware IDs' and right-click on the first list under 'Value' and click copy. Paste it into Google search to search for your particular driver.

4. Download the driver and install it.

As long as it is compatible with the HARDWARE Identification it will work. Excepting there is no existing VGA driver for the chipset.

I know that quite well. What i was trying to insinuate up there was that direct download and installation won't work because of compatibility issues. He tried downloading the driver directly and upon installation it will always give you that operating system not supported even if you use the backward compatibility feature on win 7. The way to go is to use other methods. But anyways i guess he has resolved it.

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by pheesayor(m): 3:22pm On Sep 17, 2013
it didn't work but I solved it by returning the swift router into the network switch and I disabled DHCP on the windows server and everything started working fine.
Thanks for your time

Thanks for the honest reply, i bought it brand new four months ago and i have not formated it before. Reasons why i intend to format is include
1) the disk space is almost full without know what docs occupy the spaces
2) It is getting slower, and at times take up to a min before vlc player can load, and also took longer than normal when switching it off.
3) window defender have been notifying since a week ago that there malware on the system and when i scanned it wit antivirus, it found none
And lastly i think d dvd rom driver is faulty coz the dvd rom will eject itself without playing anytime i inserted any disk to it.
I just want to recover it back to the first time i bought it with a view that the problems mentioned above will be solved.
Your help will be highly appreciated, thanks sir
