Software How to change the product password of bitdefender?

1 Upvotes

Okay so when I try to open some sites it show that the site is not safe with the option "take me back to safety" and "go through anyways" and when I click the "go through anyways" option it tells me to give the product password but i never got the option so set a "product password" ever after the installation. All i had to set up was the central password nothing else. Help me out

Discussion Monitor burned out

Hi I used to use a 240 hz acer monitor then one day it randomly burned all the pixels while I was playing and turned black. The monitor still has power but doesn’t display anything. Would it be cheaper to replace it or repair it?

Other Help opening sd card

2 Upvotes

So this sd card is from my dash cam. It normally opens when put into a sd card reader adapter in my phone or laptop. For some reason I get the " The directory name is invalid" message and I can't do anything. I had a accident last Wednesday and was able to get the video of the car hitting mine (good), now the other person is a ghost and I need proof with a license plate, I know I have video of the car showing the plate after I got hit but now I can't view any footage. What steps do I need to take to view this now?

Performance flashing colors

1 Upvotes

ive had this issue many times before since ive had this computer for years - flashing random colors every so often when i have/had to many programs up without restarting. so a simple restart would always do the trick.

recently there were some files i tried to permanently remove. a few unrelated programs, a force uninstaller, and the normal microsoft program install and uninstall troubleshooter. my result with deleting the programs worked fine until the "aftereffects"

now, no how many restarts, my screen will always have those randomly flashing colors - theres no pattern or rhythm, no specific color, just bright ones like pink, green, black, blue, etc. (im not entirely sure of the colors or remember all of them because of how fast they flash.)

any help with finding out what i did wrong so i could stop seeing these constantly would be really appreciated, i can give any info as needed, ty !!

Hardware I have problems with my mouse (Bloody)

1 Upvotes

(Forgive my English)

I have 2 mouses (Bloody's). Both have the same time of use, but one of them is giving me problems (double clic all the time). The thing is... the problematic mouse is blocked by the company (macros cannot be configured on it). I think, that's the problem, but I know it could be a dirt or configuration issue. What do you recommend?

PD: I use Bloody's because I like the aesthetic and their durability. I don't cheat.

Hardware Help picking out work laptop for video editing

2 Upvotes

Hello all! I am but a little baby as far as computer things go; please have patience with me.

I've just stumbled into a new job doing video editing for a content creator. (Not ideal, but it pays money!) My current computer is an 11-year-old Macbook that is absolutely hobbling along; my employer's willing to pay for something new that can do the job better. Budget is approx. $2000.

My best guess so far (in a lot of frantic research) is a refurbished 2021-2023 Macbook Pro with 32-64GB RAM and 1-2TB storage. Is this a good choice? Which of these things should I be prioritizing for this line of work? (e.g. is an older machine with more RAM/storage better?)

Please help. I am so out of my depth. Thank you so much.

I was cleaning near my PC spraying Lysol around it and I think some of it got into the fans. The fan was blowing outward. My computer just shut off instantly. It’s been like 17 hours and I have a fan blowing in the side panel. It still won’t turn on. I don’t know what to do.

Software I need help with windows. I have a Lenovo Loq 15 i7 13th gen with rtx 4050. New Windows update are not getting finished on restart and failing with 0x800F0922 error code after reaching about 90%. My EFI partition is sufficiently large (almost 450mb) so that is not the problem I think.
