I’m unable to get to a website that ends in .site, I have the IP address, but whey I type that in I get a message saying I’m not allowed to view it. Any suggestions?
Hello. My Lenovo laptop shut down in the middle of a Bios update. When I’d turned it back on, the screen was completely black. When I ‘d shut it off again, there was a quick flash and then it turned off. Please advise. Thank you so much.
Sorry to hear this. Sadly, because this can be serious problem I would suggest contacting the manufacturer and asking them directly for help before doing anything else. If you are able to take a back up of your data I would do that too. Anything else presents a risk.
You could try booting into safe mode – while the computer is starting press 4 or F4 or Fn+F4, if these don’t work run your finger across the ‘F’ keys. Then try tweaking BIOS settings or re flashing it.
Or you could try the help provided by Lenovo with a power drain https://support.lenovo.com/gb/en/solutions/ht510479-device-does-not-restart-after-bios-update
An aircraft has 4 doors and it will only take off (i)If and only if 4 of the doors are shut. Generate the truth table and indicate where this is obtainable (ii)It should sound a warning alarm if only equivalent of 3 or less than 3 doors are shut. Generate the truth table and indicate where this is obtainable

Hi! When google withdraw support for my chromebook is there an anti virus app I can install to make continued use safe please
Yes, there are number of other providers who can provide alternative protection, some free and some paid for. It is worth looking at your memory first and checking against requirements to see if some of the bulkier providers might slow your machine down. Lots offer a free trails available, if you contact them. But you should go for well known names, or contact your current provider and tell them you are leaving but wanted to know the best discount on continuing their service be for checking with alternative providers. Feel free to come back if you need further help.
how can I print from my computer from usb to my printer
hi chris, i enjoy techsnail. to clea my hp windows 10 ssd i shredded files 7 times then reset & cleaned the drives. are those files safe from recovery? rick
Chris, Thanks. But I can’t get you instructions to work. First I got App with NO. Now I am not even getting the System Properties window. It’s Help please
I am sorry, I am also not following which bit you are stuck on. If you follow the instructions on this https://www.techsnail.com/how-to-turn-on-system-restore-in-windows-10/ whcih step of the section “How to turn on system restore in Windows 10” are you having problems with?
Please note that if this is a work computer, supplied by a company then they often limit your options. If this is a home computer we should be able to get it working.
Re: above. The App Box, that comes up from “create a restore point” does not have a Yes. So only turns off. i.e. it does not open System Properties Window. as in 5.
Hi Keith and Val,
If you click the configure does it allow you to turn it on? You would need to allocate some hard disk space by dragging the slider across.
If you can not see this option either, then can ask if your computer is a work computer, and do you have administrative rights to the computer?
Hello, I have down loaded 15 pages on “how to turn on System Restore”
Have done first 4 items (p.3/15) An APP/Box, says do you want this App to make changes to you computer? But it only has a NO button. How do I proceed beyond to complete System Restore?

Hi Keith, message back if the above does not make sense. Best Chris
