Note: If you don’t know which make hard drive is in it, Seagate’s diags work with most.[/list]

Wikipedia: Domain hijacking > Description

Domain hijacking can be done in several ways, generally by exploiting a vulnerability in the domain name registration system or through social engineering.

The most common tactic used by a domain hijacker is to use acquired personal information about the actual domain owner to impersonate them and persuade the domain registrar to modify the registration information and/or transfer the domain to another registrar, a form of identity theft. Once this has been done, the hijacker has full control of the domain and can use it or sell it to a third party.

Responses to discovered hijackings vary; sometimes the registration information can be returned to its original state by the current registrar, but this may be more difficult if the domain name was transferred to another registrar, particularly if that registrar resides in another country. In some cases the original domain owner is not able to regain control over the domain.

The legal status of domain hijacking remains unclear. It is analogous with theft, in that the original owner is deprived of the benefits of the domain, but theft traditionally regards concrete goods such as jewelry and electronics, whereas domain name ownership is stored only in the digital state of the domain name registry, a network of computers. There are no specific laws regarding domain hijacking, nor any law that specifically holds the domain name registrar responsible for allowing the registrant information to be modified without the permission of the original registrant. In some cases there may be recourse under trademark law, but not all domain names are (or can be) registered as trademarks.

You’re Welcome, and Thanks.

Probably one of the easiest ways is join.me (part of logmein.com).

[*]Have your friend go to http://join.me and click on “start meeting”. In a minute or two they’ll see a 9-digit number at the top center of their screen that they’ll need to read to you.

[*]You’re already at http://join.me waiting for them to read you that number. As they do, simply type it into the little “join meeting” box and click the green arrowhead (“go”) button.

That’s all there is to it. You should now be viewing your friend’s computer screen in your browser.

No problem.

Correct. You will need the user’s original password in order to access the user’s EFS encrypted files.

Note that if you reset the password for users with EFS encrypted files, those files will remain unreadable and cannot be recovered.

… but the two buttons — “Next” (highlighted) and “Cancel” — are not responsive to any key, and no mouse cursor with which to click on either button is present

What happens if you disconnect and reconnect the keyboard and mouse at that point?

Do you have a different set (different brand) you can try?

smtp,live.com

Try changing the comma in “smtp,live.com” to a period “smtp.live.com”.

Try holding down the [Ctrl] key while tapping the [-] (Minus) key a few times. Hopefully that will decrease the size enough for you to be able to see and click the “close button” on the popup.

Use [Ctrl][+] (plus) to increase the size, or [Ctrl][0] (zero) to reset.

@SpywareDr, the link you posted seems to not work. I attempted a fix. Please check to see if this is what you wanted.

Thanks Medico.

Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is a DHCP failover mechanism for local networks. With APIPA, DHCP clients can still obtain IP addresses when DHCP servers are non-functional. APIPA exists in all modern versions of Windows except Windows NT.

When a DHCP server fails, APIPA allocates IP addresses in the private range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. As soon as the DHCP server becomes available to service requests, clients update their IP addresses automatically.
