[00:00:28] <S_SubZero> what are you trying to say? [00:03:36] <FloridaGuy> Nothing really.. Cause every OS has its problems!! [00:24:24] <DemoOn> what all alternative options to install windows 7 if i don’t ahve cd-rom and it doesn’t let me install from usb cu it shows error No device drivers were found. ? [00:26:42] <Ether_Man> DemoOn, no device drivers is not a problem caused by your choice of install media. [00:26:49] <pilot_bub> have you tried ms win usb tool and wintoflash, remember to change the boot order in bios [00:27:06] <DemoOn> pilot_bub: yes [00:27:19] <DemoOn> Ether_Man: its because my hdd is superold? [00:28:34] <Ether_Man> DemoOn, Well it has to do with your hdd, but not its age… It’s the mode the hdd controller is in… It’s most likely set to raid mode, in which case you’ll need raid drivers for that control<DemoOn> Ether_Man: it has ide mode [00:29:02] <Ussat> I have booted off a USB when BIOS is set to raid [00:29:08] <DemoOn> Ether_Man: i tried ahci too [00:29:25] <Ussat> youre MB may not support USB boot is all [00:29:50] <DemoOn> Ussat: i can get till screen install windows [00:29:58] <Ether_Man> Ussat, certainly… But windows install wont find it and will instead of giving you a HDD to install on, give No device drivers was found (because if you have an usb inserted, it will actually t<Ussat> hmm [00:30:17] <Ussat> ahh OK, I walked in mid convo, sorry [00:31:11] <DemoOn> so what could i try? [00:31:14] <DemoOn> else [01:10:19] <xfact> hi i am having this weird problem of sudden shut down trigger in my windows pc… suspecious enough, it seems like a random key combination is triggering this, please help [01:10:33] <xfact> for example shift+1 [01:10:49] <xfact> the normal exclametion mark is not working… [01:11:09] <xfact> do i have a virus or something… i am anxious… [01:11:34] <xfact> anyone alive? [01:14:12] <reisio> I wonder if he typed ! [01:17:47] <xfact> yes shift+1 is confirmed, the row numeric keys are not working…. what is happening? [01:18:08] <xfact> how can i change my keyboard shortcuts? [01:18:09] <reisio> laptop? [01:18:13] <xfact> desktop [01:18:25] <sauvin> Try a different keybaord? [01:18:31] <reisio> they aren’t working, or they’re forcing a shutdown? [01:18:43] <xfact> keyboard is not the problem, the automatic shutdown triggers… [01:19:07] <reisio> maybe typing ‘!’ is the last straw before your system overheats :p [01:19:49] <xfact> no, the issue is shift+1[row] is triggering shut down, that proves 1 is working… but not without the combination, some other combination is commanding shut down as well… [01:20:26] <xfact> ok, do me a favour and tell me where can i check/modify keyboard shortcuts? [01:21:15] <xfact> reisio, they are triggering a shutdown like the shut down multimedia key would… [01:21:43] <xfact> i never set this weird shortcut, and this is happening from this morning??? [01:23:58] <xfact> can anyone tell me where is the keyboard shortcut setting is in win7? [01:24:58] <reisio> xfact: so they’re closing windows? [01:25:21] <xfact> reisio, yes… [01:25:32] <xfact> and then normally shuts down… [01:26:32] <xfact> i scaned my system with av… its clean [01:26:43] <sauvin> No av catches everything. [01:29:51] <xfact> DAMN IT [01:29:56] <xfact> i am scared… [01:32:04] <xfact> checking the temps… [01:32:47] <xfact> they are normal… no reason for overheat [01:33:03] <xfact> any suggestions? [01:33:16] <xfact> damit, this is such a bad timing [01:33:21] <zymurgy> Try a different keyboard. [01:34:05] <xfact> the keyboard is *not* the problem… it is completely fuctional [01:34:50] <xfact> the problem is some crazy combinations are instantly triggering shut down, it appears as shift is common in all of them [01:35:55] <zymurgy> How are you determining that there isn’t a flaw in your keyboard’s physical matrix? [01:38:14] <xfact> dam it i cannot shout for darn shift key, [01:38:36] <xfact> please tell me… is there some sort of *keyboard shortcut manager* exists or not??? [01:38:59] <xfact> simple yes or no would suffice [01:39:59] <zymurgy> There probably is, but I’ve only just started using Windows again forthe first time in nearly a decade and can’t even begin to guess where it might be. [01:40:38] <xfact> god, i was better with linux ;.; [01:40:58] <xfact> what can i do *right* now… [01:41:10] <xfact> start uninstalling apps? [01:43:57] <xfact> i am reading about something called blaster worm… [01:44:25] <S_SubZero> in 2003. [01:46:21] <xfact> well… i am reading… [01:47:07] <xfact> lame [01:47:47] <mota> Try reading about the Morris worm. Compare and contrast. [01:48:28] <S_SubZero> xfact: weren’t you having some sort of issue [01:48:55] <xfact> yes… a crazy issue, i am darn sure this is result of some malware [01:49:14] <xfact> setting random shutdown shortcuts [01:49:25] <xfact> in keyboard [01:49:36] <xfact> microsoft security essential is doing shit [01:50:32] <S_SubZero> which Windows is this? [01:50:36] <xfact> 7 [01:51:10] <S_SubZero> is the shutdown graceful or does the PC just *grrk* turn off [01:51:17] <xfact> graceful [01:52:20] <xfact> this is started happening from this morning… all of a sudden while i was reading some article on chrome [01:53:10] <S_SubZero> does task manager show any unusual processes [01:53:19] <xfact> nope [01:53:32] <S_SubZero> did you check msconfig for any odd apps running at login [01:54:09] <xfact> the problem is my an intermediate user [01:54:44] <S_SubZero> try again [01:56:02] <xfact> well it looks quite ok [01:58:29] <DirtyDawg> . [01:58:56] <xfact> i did turn some random disabled services yesterday for a hardware detection issue, as some forum suggested… [01:59:28] xfact panicks [02:00:18] xfact uninstalls ms security essentials [02:01:46] <S_SubZero> event viewer? [02:01:55] xfact looks [02:02:52] <S_SubZero> so yesterday you made changes, and today it’s having issues. [02:03:32] <xfact> well. i don have a clue, i think itÅ› unrelated [02:03:44] <mota> “turn some random disabled services” …. ?? [02:04:55] <xfact> turned on some *disabled* windows services… because someone suggested setting all the disabled services to manual may help… [02:05:14] <xfact> i am a noob, i am basically helpless in these areas [02:05:16] <mota> so. which ones? [02:05:31] <xfact> odh [02:05:35] <xfact> *doh [02:06:33] <xfact> i wish i remembered [02:06:44] <xfact> there were multiple services [02:06:49] xfact checks [02:07:45] <mota> If only there were some system for preserving knowledge of actions taken, such that in the future one might know what was done. [02:07:49] <mota> If only! [02:08:06] <S_SubZero> i refer to such a system as “a pencil” [02:08:42] <mota> pencil. I have such a device. How might I use it to project knowledge of present events into the future? [02:08:43] <xfact> i wish… but i chose windows because i was not such a geek, i should have gone with a mac the noobs choice [02:08:59] <xfact> linux rejected me soon enough [02:09:30] <xfact> fogot how to check the service [02:10:45] <xfact> what is that command which leads to the service manager? [02:11:01] <S_SubZero> services.msc? [02:11:06] <xfact> thanks [02:13:20] <xfact> it’s impossible to recall, i set like some 4 services [02:13:56] <xfact> i am pretty sure these two events are unrelated, that was done like 24 hrs before… [02:14:41] <xfact> i had one flawless session before this problem… [02:15:00] xfact installing avast av [02:19:01] <ramkash> Hello, I have installed service pack3, and when restart it switched to classic theme and rejected to open any other theme but xp, anyone knows where the problem? [02:22:07] <xfact> does anyone know why softwares like cpu-z, speccy, directx or mere system propertise cannot detect my specs, like cpu model, memory, sound card, graphics card etc… it either crashes or shows n/a, s<S_SubZero> ramkash: is the themes service running?
