  This problem actually has nothing to do with internet explorer. It's the cookies folder that is corrupt in the Windows folder in roaming. The error file is in conjunction with the programs, that I try to run (AIM, Skype, so forth). Trying to enter the folder it says it's corrupt.

• My phone fell, and I can not get Windows to start. The repair option will not work.

  Windows Vista restore

  My phone fell, and I can not get Windows to start.  The repair option will not work. I tried to use an upgrade disc, but the 'upgrade' function has been disabled. It says I have to do it from the office, to which I can not access. The repair disk feature did not work either. Is it possible to restore the system without losing my files?

  Have you had your laptop, checked by a technician?

  If you use a 32 bit Vista copy then any upgrade must be run from the Vista desktop.

  Hi all

  I have recently opted for the offer to upgrade to Windows Media Center from Microsoft and everything is is well spent, I had my product key, installed library and all was good with all countries, UNTIL I noticed that the watermark from Windows 8 is now visible saying '\n Mode Test Windows 8 Build 9200 of Pro with Media Center \n ".

  Once again that Windows is activated like her, and I quote "Windows is activated".

  Help please

  Open the command prompt (Admin) and then enter:

  Now restart your computer and the watermark will disappear.

  The test mode is for test drivers. You have probably run Windows Experience Index.

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

• Windows installed the automatic windows update agent and I would appreciate help with the settings option in this newly installed agent update so no update never install or download unless I choose to do.

  Hello.

  I have windows vista 32 bit home edition.

  Today somehow automatically installed windows ' automatic update agent 747600226

  I always keep my settings to check the updates but let me choose whether to update or install.

  With this new "update automatic agent" which automatically installed on my system, I want to make sure I have place it properly so that it remains in the same way that I always have my settings but two settings (options), he checked, and are confusing for me to know what those checked settings will do.

  I would like to help you with these settings to make sure that the update is still as I want.

  Below chose correctly when the new program installed today.  That's how I still want the settings to be:

  Look for updates but let me choose whether to update or install

  Please let me know if I need to change all the options account required in addition to this update agent to ensure that only, I choose to update or install.

  There are four options and a box is in two and I don't know if I should remove the check marks or not.

  Here are the other four options that I need to know how to configure it so that only I have update/install.

  Once again, the download automatic microsoft today (update automatic agent 7.4.7600.226) without asking for my incentive preset automatic update options and that's what I'm trying to make sure is set correctly so that nothing installs or updates without asking me or let me do.

  Option 1: (this option is checked. If I leave it checked will be it install or warn me only?)

  Give me updates recommended in the way I receive important updates.

  Option 2: (this is not checked and am not worried about this one)

  Allow all users to use installed on this pc.
  
  Option 3: (this is checked and want to know if should uncheck; what I don't want is any what to auto install, but the wording of this option and option 1 are vague because of the "give me " so I don't know what it means or will do.)  If this box is left to it automatically update/install?)

  Give me updates for Microsoft products and looking for new optional microsoft software when I update windows

  Option #4 (this is not checked, and I am not concerned about this).
  
  See the notification me detailed when new microsoft software is available.

  Thank you very much for your help.

  Take care! :)

  Hello

  The Windows Update automatically updates the updater (himself), regardless of your settings.

  1. Yes it will alert you so you can update or install.

  2. check if you need more of yourself (other users) to be able to select and install the updates.

  3. it will let you know when they become available.

  4. just gives the news of additional details about some of the updates.

  Looks like you're ready for anything you like.

• Need to reset the Windows Live ID password, but none of the standard options will work, can explain

  Xbox installation for my 6 year old at Christmas and created a windows Live ID to install Xbox live trial. All is well, but now subscribe said direct gold and buy points. To do this, I need to connect to my windows live Id and payment method. When I enter the password that it fails so thought that I could do it reset in case I had not remembered properly. Then I noticed that I had lot to put up with the suffix @gmail.co.uk rather than @gmail.com, which means the registration and activation email went into the ether (gmail.co.uk addresses do not exist) so the account has not yet been activated... It's so likely I do not know the password but can not access as not active! MS reset options are e-mail, SMS and the client request. Email serves will send to not existing address. SMS does not work as well as I put my cell phone in I of course did not change the location then nothing happens so think he uses a prefix US on a uk mobile... Could be no activation you again if suddenly. When I fill out customer service reset I impersonate the identity test but got an email telling me reset, use electronic mail, which totally missing the point. I guess it was an automatic response and you can't answer. I also tried to obtain a unique access code, but who still uses SMS that doesn't work for me. Hints tips or suggestions welcome - btw talked to technical support of Xbox that were very sensitive, but could not help

• Problems with the upgrade to Windows Windows 7 10 and get the message 'could not be updated. "portable

  Original title: Windows 7

  I have 2 questions-

  I have a laptop Windows 7 when I tried to update Windows 10 received a message that it could not be updated.  Has there never been a solution or an update for those of us who have a version of Windows 7 which initially could not updated for Windows 10?

  I have a computer I upgraded Windows 10 and really like it.  I do not understand that I can not make a copy of 10 Windows on a computer, I've updated for Windows 10.  Is it possible for me to download a copy of Windows 10 on my laptop Windows 7 to make a restore CD in the case of a computer problem?

  You can try the upgrade manually:

  Task of pre-required

  When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

  • How to back up and restore your files manually
  • How to free up disk space in Windows
  • How to: 10 tips before installing Windows 10
  • How to: determine if a device application or hardware is compatible with Windows 10
  • Will remain the documents and applications, or install app must

  then

  • How to download official Windows 10 ISO files
  • How to: upgrade previous versions of Windows using the file ISO for Windows 10

  then

  • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
  • Reboot several times, and then try again.
  • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
  • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
  • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
  • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
  • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
  • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
  • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
  • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  You also have the possibility to choose 'Keep personal files only', which guarantees a successful in most cases installation.

• target for a .pdf with the target _blank link file does not open in a new window.

  I have a simple html document with links to all the value _blank .pdf documents but only opens in a new window.  Others open as _self.  Change the target does not seem to make a difference.

  No idea why this is happening?

  It is preferable to share a link to the offending page, so that we can see the code, simple errors as a lack of "or = can cause what you describe.

  However since you work with PDF files there may not be anything technically wrong with your code.

  Files PDF is a multimedia file that is managed in a number of different ways depending on the settings of the user's browser and plugin installations. What gives the target = "_blank" on a PDF link can open a new blank page and the PDF opens in Acrobat instead. There is no way to force a PDF file to load in the browser, this is a user setting we as developers have zero access to.

  I tried to download the new update essentials download and three quarters of the way through, he stopped.

• Each PC with the Update icon will install Windows 10

  I have the Update icon on my laptop and I even booked my copy of windows 10, but when I go to 'check pc', it shows that my pc is not compatible, can anyone tell me the conditions required for the update

  The reservation application indicates that I have incompatible hardware (IE. CPU, Bluetooth, video card, printer) or software, what do I do?

  You can check the software developer and supplier of equipment for the latest updates before performing the upgrade.

  UPDATE: Please see the following article by Barb Bowman (Microsoft MVP) solutions to this problem.

  Is that what my display graphic or peripheral Bluetooth compatible with Windows 10? Pre-trial showed that it was not.

  

  Microsoft compatibility database is continually updated with new data. What you can do is to regularly run another scanner to see if the database has updated the information about your hardware. Even if you get this message, you can still run Windows Update after installing Windows 10 and download the latest driver too.

  My Dell laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit version. But there was a hardware problem, and I had to re - reinstall Windows 7 on my Dell laptop. But then, without knowing it, I installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (for which I had the key too) & began to work on it. Later, when some drivers were not installed correctly because of compatibility issues, I realized the truth.

  Then I tried to update my Windows 7 Professional current operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate-operating system by using Windows Anytime Upgrade without having to re - install Windows from scratch, I have so many applications and data on my laptop now. And I used the key of Windows 7 Ultimate version I have with my Dell laptop. But the key is not be accepted by the Windows Anytime Upgrade application and the following error message is displayed:

  "Enter a different upgrade key

  The upgrade key you have entered is an edition of Windows that does not work with Windows Anytime Upgrade. Enter a different upgrade key. "

  Please help me in this regard to solve this problem so that I can improve my Windows 7 operating system without having to re - install from scratch.

  Thank you

  Note: Retail 'Full' or 'Upgrade' product keys will work when you use the Express Upgrade feature.

  Upgrade Express 'can' not work (check with the manufacturer of the computer support team) for users who have the OEM and system integrators or keys, this applies also to VL (Volume License), - MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) / DreamSpark or pedagogical keys that does not / do support the Anytime Upgrade option. KMS users consult your administrator before attempting to perform an Express upgrade.

  The key that came with your mobile PC is an OEM key, which most likely why it fails to upgrade.
