GTA 4 graphics problem?

I bought gta 4 today and I figured that the graphics really look pix-elated and dark. I made a video with my phone to show how it looks because if I record with my roxio game capture hd pro the shadows look fine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T11Zy8s1flc&feature=youtu.be

Yeah, I watched the video, there might be problem in capturing the shadows details in your phone and once check with the settings where it might be problem in the camera settings of your mobile. Once take the snapshot of that screen and and check in your mobile and zoom into particular area of shadow and then copy the captured files into your PC and check the same. If the problem persists your mobile phone cannot capture the device in detail.

One more thing is check the detailed display settings in the game settings some of the settings might not be in default, if you found restore to default and restore them and and check the shadow details you may find  option like shadow depth, shadow detail and shadow strength and shadow sharpness. Adjust these settings you will find some improvement.

Internet connected but can't access websites?

This happened just a few minutes ago. I have full internet connection but every time I use the internet. "The page cannot be displayed." The internet on my phone works fine. I tried resetting my computer and it didn't work. My wireless mouse stopped working when I reset it as well. I have windows 8. How can I fix it?

You have full internet connection, what does it mean exactly. May be you need to check thoroughly that the status of network icon in bottom right corner is showing the status connected or open my computer and check network connections , see the status.

There are two types of configurations like one is automatically assigning IP address and manual assign of IP address, if you are connected to a router IP address is automatically it assigns the IP address, these configuration are available on router. If you are not aware of them contact your system administrator. If you are connected to a switch or hub you must assign a IP address and DNS servers manually.

If your ISP is directly connected to your LAN, you need to check whether the ISP is providing automatic IP or manual IP. In some companies there are many software's that blocks the connectivity of Internet, you must use the proxy servers to get connected to Internet.

Some ISP's provide login page, dialers and other sort of things to get connected to Internet. If one of these problems may obstruct you getting connected to Internet. Contact your ISP for further details.

Nothing happens after installing the driver?

I install the Ethernet driver and It still doesn't show up in device manager. What could it be? Do I have to install something else first? What do I need to at least make internet work with the cable? I did reboot. I need Ethernet controller, Network controller and PCI device.

Did you check the Bios settings because some motherboards have the option to disable on board devices and is the Ethernet card is on board or you have inserted a LAN card in PCI slot. Once check if you are using the on board device please check the bios settings if disabled please enable it, so it will be shown when you boot up like new hardware found if you installed the drivers already it find outs the appropriate drivers and installs them.

And one more thing is if didn't installed the drivers of any device, it will shown in device manager. If you have installed LAN card try the same LAN card in other system and install the drivers if it shown and drivers successfully installed check in the device manager and if it shown, may be the problem in your PCI slots might be they are not working, once clean them with blower and try it, mostly not works and depends on your Luck.

My laptop has spyware. Will buying an antivirus stop it?

I turned on the laptop and a warning came up saying I was detected with spyware and to call a number. I DIDN'T want to do that. I am not using any protection except for this free bit defender  How can I get rid of it? Will just an antivirus do?

Ya, your PC is infected with Malware and spyware, if you can afford buy the full version of internet security software. Any software company will provide the free version of software's but they have limited features. you need to know that infected with Malware might be infected with virus also.

Once try installing the avast free edition, I assure you it worked for me. It cleaned my system. But my opinion is select the good antivirus. Once try with avast free edition if you are impressed go and buy the full version of Avast Internet Security.

Buy the Norton Internet Security or Norton 360 because these products by the Symantec are awesome, I assisted my so many customers with Symantec. they also felt very good which worth the money. Till now I hear the good words from them regarding these Symantec software's.

Better install any security kind of software if you are connected or not connected to internet.

DO YOU WANT TO ALLOW THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM TO MAKE CHANGES ON THIS COMPUTER?

This part got me scared so I wanna know why does it say this an if I will catch a virus.

I think you are using the Avast free edition of antivirus, you need to know one thing that this type of any free edition software's has the limited features in terms of security.

Do one thing that uninstall the avast antivirus and some sort of malware programmes are installed on your computer. First go to control panel and add/remove programmes uninstall the unnecessary software's and other things that you dont need.

After uninstall the Avast free antivirus, download the Norton internet security and ccleaner, Trojan remover. Install the trojan remover and reset the windows policies, internet explorer policies...etc and scan the whole computer and follow the on screen instruction. Troaj remover will clean your system, if any trojans were found on your computer.

After install the Norton Internet Security and scan the whole computer, before scanning update the virus definition. They will provide you the 30 days trial version of softwares. If you are impressed during the trial period of Norton Internet Security buy the full version. I assure you it will perform good.

Strange laptop problem.. No idea what to do.. Please help!?

Please read! .. I have an HP Laptop. Yesterday when I turned it on, it went to a black screen and said something about a hard disk? And power or startup? I don't remember. I think it tried to fix itself, but since then, when I turn on the computer, it only stays on for about 60 seconds or so, then restarts itself, and the cycle goes on and on.. It does the same thing in Safe Mode with Networking, but it WILL stay on in normal Safe Mode. Today I decided to try to start the computer up normally, but when it pulls up, turn the wifi off.. I found that that works. The computer will stay on in normal mode as long as the wifi is turned off. A few seconds after you turn it on and it connects to the Internet, it restarts itself. Does that mean a virus is attacking the computer once it connects to Internet? Or something else maybe??

For a while, a Microsoft notification would pop up asking for permission to make changes to the computer, and for a while I said no.. Yesterday I finally said yes to it.. It was Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool, and it said that it partially removed a Trojan, and for me to run an anti-virus software to finish removing it. Which, I could not do, because my Norton 360 will not pull up. I click it, and it does nothing. Sometimes it will pull up for a second, then x's out of itself and won't pull back up. (This is when the WIFI is turned on.) In Safe Mode (without networking, I.e. - no Internet), I ran a full system scan with Norton (the only thing it'll let me do when I click Norton) and it said no risks were detected.

I have tried pressing F8 a few times when it starts up and going to that black screen (to go to safe mode), and tried system repair a few times, but that did nothing. I've tried the one where it goes back to the last settings it worked correctly at, and that did nothing. I have no idea what to do, and don't really have the money to take it to a shop or pay for online help.. Is there anything I can do?

Basically.. Whatever is wrong, only happens when it's connected to the internet. Otherwise, the computer will stay on without restarting or anything. But once you turn on WiFi and it connects to the internet, it restarts itself, and the cycle goes on and on until you turn WiFi off..

The virus or threats which might present in your system and it might be activated when you are connecting to a network or Internet. Once run a Trojan remover software and reset the windows policies and if problem persists you need to format and install OS freshly or contact the service centre they will recover the data or restore you laptop settings to factory settings.

Windows error recovery message & programs take too long to open?

Two days ago my laptop unexpectedly shut off. Ever since then i get the windows error recovery message whenever i start up windows. I choose to start windows normally instead of going into safe mode. Once my desktop loads, i try clicking on programs that keep on failing to load. After 10 or more minutes i finally get them open. The screen also blacks out and comes back. The network icon sometimes shows that the computer is connected to the ethernet code when its not and it also shows that the internet is not connected or on when it is. The programs also become unresponsive alot , causing me to restart. What should I do ? I've been experiencing this problem for 2 days.

Your system might infected with malware or trojans or viruses. Once Install a good antivirus programme and scan the whole computer. While scanning it shows all the threats which were detected whlie scanning. Some antivirus programmes might delete the compresses files (rar,zip...etc) if the they found virus in the the compressed file, some deletes the total compressed file. Make sure to check with them, if you have any important data you may lose your data.

One more reason behind this is OS file system may be corrupted. If you have OS cd follow the steps to repair the windows. If you dont how to repair, contact the system administrator. Better install a good Internet Security sort of softwares. So many programmes available on the Internet and free versions also available. I found Avast free edition is good one in all these viruses which they provide for free.

If you found that Avast or any security programme is good one, buy the full version of software.
