Internet keeps crashing

First, you will need to make sure your internet provider is not the problem, use a second computer on the same connection to be sure. If you are on wireless open the window on the wireless icon, click on repair and windows will fix the connection in most cases. If on ethernet direct connection to the modem sub another cable to make sure the link is solid.

Newish -December -Acer laptop aspire 5742-humming

I'm not an Acer expert, but I'm curious where on the laptop this seems to come from... hold your hand on it or your ear to the top... can you determine where the humming comes from? The only thing I could think of is the the HDD, but that should not spin when its off (maybe its in hibernation?). If you cant determine where its coming from unplug it and remove the battery, wihch should stop it. Plug the battery back in and see if it comes back while the laptop is still off.

Access outlook

what password computer or outlook Reset an Outlook password to keep your program secure. A Microsoft Outlook password keeps your email account secure from unwanted intrusion. When you wish to reset your Outlook password, you must perform a multistep process to change your password first with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The password with your ISP mail server must be the same as the password you set in your Outlook program in order to send and receive emails. Call your ISP and request a new password for your account. Write down the password after you receive it to ensure you do not forget it. Open your Outlook program, click the "Tools" tab and then select "Email accounts." Select "View or change existing email accounts" and then press "Next." Highlight the email account you wish to change (if you have more than one email account) and press "Change." Enter the new password you just received from your ISP into the appropriate fields (entering it twice). Place a check mark beside "remember password" if you want Outlook to remember your password each time you log in. Click "Test Account Settings" to make sure your account works with the new password. Press "Finish." I forgot my Outlook password http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/i-forgot-my-outlook-password-HA001113690.aspx

Prendo la pc acer y se apaga vuelve a prender y se apaga y asi sigue

Estimado Carlos, Cuando la PC se apaga poco tiempo despues de terla prendido puede ser una senal de sobrecalentamiento del procesador. Si es una PC desktop, puedes verificar si el disipador de calor de aluminio y su ventilador estan colocados correctamente sobre el procesador y si el ventilador esta' funcionando. Si es una laptop, debes verificar si cuando la prendes el ventilador de las rejitas de ventilacion esta' suenando. Un ventilador que este' parado o con baja rotacion puede ser una de las causas del sobrecalentamiento. Pero, en los dos casos, si no es problema del ventilador del procesador, lo que hay que hacer es lo siguiente: 1 - Desarmar la computadora, y sacar el disipador de calor com mucho cuidado de sobre el procesador; 2 - Limpiar bien entre las ranuras del disipador de calor, sacandose todo el polvo y suciedad del mismo ya que el polvo ayuda a mantener el calor y sobrecalentar el procesador; 3 - Limpiar muy bien las rejillas de entrada/salida de aire, sacandose todo el polvo y suciedad, 4 - Rearmar el disipador sobre el procesador, pasando entre ellos una delgada camada de pasta termica plateada, que se puede comprar en tiendas de suminsitros y partes de computadoras (NOTA: no instale el disipador sobre el procesador sin pasar la pasta termica, porque podra' seguir sobrecalentandose); 5 - Rearmar la computadora. Caso usted no tenga facilidad en armar y desarmar la computadora, seria bueno contactarse con un tecnico de su confianza para hacer ese trabajo para usted. !Espero que esa respuesta pueda haberle sido util! PD.: Como ese sitio web solamente accepta caracteres en Ingles, la acentuacion no puede ser utilizada normalmente... Saludos, Miguel Luiz Martins
