I need help. I need to access Windows Update, and I keep getting this error: "The website has encountered an error and can not display the requested page." I'm doing this on a computer that not only isn't mine, but is entirely in French, so I can't really navigate much due to my inability to read the language. Anyone who can help me out on this, please, I need your guidance. Windows XP Service Pack 2, if it helps. -- 70.29.252.46 ( talk) 00:10, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
would it cost more to buy a computer or make one? what would be needed to make a computer? 70.241.16.91 ( talk) 00:22, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
o-p here, thanks for all the help! :) 70.241.16.91 ( talk) 19:36, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
I should be very grateful if someone tells me can I open the MS OFFICE 2011 files in a tablet PC.I have many typing works and I want to know can I connect a bluetooth keyboard to a tablet? any proposal or answer is appreciated in advanc.-- Chavosh ( talk) 05:58, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
I've been trying to help with somebody else's old laptop, which would be handy for using like a netbook. It works, but has no display adaptor installed, so it's stuck at an annoying resolution like 640x480. I assume it needs its drivers, which I assume are at the manufacturer's FTP site, linked to from this page: http://www.higrade.com/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=10956 (or the direct link is ftp://ftp.higrade.com/2010/Drivers/)... but the link never loads. I've tried just clicking it in Firefox, and I've also tried using FireFTP, and I've tried from two different connections (his house and mine). Is it just that their FTP server is down, or is there some way in? Is there another source of these drivers (for the Hi-Grade 4400) which has a moderate to reasonable chance of giving me the right files and not some malware? Is there some source of a generic driver which might be suitable instead? Card Zero (talk) 13:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to compile a program I've been writing, for which I have received much helpful advice on this ref desk, and now it's almost done, I'm getting a compile-time error, "undefined reference to vtable". Needless to say, I'm using virtual functions, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the program, and the error message seems to be from the underlying aspects of the compilation process (such as the linker). Ordinary compiler errors state a line number in the .cpp file, but here there are no line numbers, just a lot of weird information. Here's some of the info it dumps:
/tmp/ccTEIg2P.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN4NodeC2Ev[Node::Node()]+0x7): In function `Node::Node()': diffs.cpp: undefined reference to `vtable for Node'
/tmp/ccTEIg2P.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN4NodeD2Ev[Node::~Node()]+0x7): In function `Node::~Node()': diffs.cpp: undefined reference to `vtable for Node'
I'm using a rather old version of Linux (Fedora Core 4) and g++, with the compile command, g++ -Wno-deprecated -o diffs diffs.cpp. Is there a fault in my program, or is it g++, and can I get around it, or do I need to upgrade? Is there by any chance a free compiler around somewhere online, that can take text and produce an executable, as a temporary stopgap that will enable me to double-check it is the computer not me? Thanks again in advance, It's been emotional ( talk) 17:23, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
virtual void myFunction(int myArg) const = 0;
Thanks, because I never would have worked that out, and I don't think I ever would have found that link. I'm now getting a segmentation fault, which is glory, because I know how to deal with that one. It's been emotional ( talk) 02:45, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
I have a Dell Studio laptop and I use it in North America with 100-110 V. Recently, I travelled to a country where the AC voltage is 240 V. After using my computer for a few days, the computer would freeze after been used for a few minutes and could only run properly in safe mode. My adapter says it can handle anywhere between 100-240 V voltage. After returning home to NA, the computer is running properly again. Could the AC voltage have had an impact on the performance of the computer? Acceptable ( talk) 17:50, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Sometimes, weird things happen where a weird browser plugin malfunctions and starts consuming 100% CPU. I've always wondered why OS developers let that sort of thing happen -- shouldn't it always allow for a "small reserve backup" to allow you enough CPU cycles to decently call up a process management program to kill to deal with the problematic process in question? Are there any rules you can implement that allow noncritical programmes to behave normally, but will never give them more than 95% of the CPU cycles? If not, why doesn't such a programme exist? elle vécut heureuse à jamais ( be free) 18:54, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Our application at work uses certificates for WCF authentication. My former boss made a great program which automatically creates a certificate, places it in the "My" store in the "LocalMachine" location, and writes its thumbprint in the WCF <serverCertificate> configuration. But my question is, how do I actually find this certificate in Windows 7 so I can view what it contains? I tried the Certificate Manager (certmgr.msc) and it found a certificate with the same subject name and creation date, so I guess it should be it, but neither the key ID or the thumbprint were anything like what my boss's program had written in the <serverCertificate> configuration. Yet the WCF service manages to find the certificate. How does all this work? Have I found the actual certificate in certmgr.msc? If yes, then why is its thumbprint different? If not, then where is it? JIP | Talk 19:51, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
