Hi Carmen,.

I suggest you to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps.

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Upstream 13: make a copy of the USB of computer image 13 Stream

    It has come to my attention that the image USB copy that I compiled may not be usable as a way to reinstall windows 8.1?
    I learned that the Scandisc USB flash drives which I used are not designed as a way of copying and for the resettlement of same OS if the disk image I can say copied ok. This has now been confirmed by Scandisc. The question is now how do I make use of the unique copy of my computer image I have on my flash Scandisc disc and what USB memory keys are designed to provide a useful computer image copy?
    I hope someone can advise me on this.

    First of all, make sure that you start from the USB port. On the portable stream you constantly hit the ESC key when you turn it on to bring up the BIOS Menu in the upper left of the screen. Choose Boot Options then choose USB Flash Drive and it will boot to a screen that says select your keyboard type.

    On mine US is by default I chose that.

    Now, click on the button problems. Click Reset your PC.

    Select the target operating system. Windows 8.1 should be there. If it says Windows 10 and you want to come back to win 8.1 choose it anyway.

    Then, after clicking on the target operating system you will see a screen that says: 'This is what will happen', click Next, and then click YES, repartition the disks.

    Make sure you choose the option in the final stage, which said just delete my files. Do not select the option completely clean.

    Wait 45 minutes and your system is restored from the factory.

  • USB Wizard will not automatically install the usb/flash drives

    Hello

    Working on a laptop, I have a strange problem. Insertion of a usb device (disks hard usb flash are all that I tested) opens the new hardware Installation Wizard.
    If I choose "Install the software automatically", the wizard still fails. If I select "Install from a list or specific location", then choose as location c:\windows\inf, it still works. The wizard should not be checking this place on its own?
    Things I've tried:
    -Reinstall the USB devices in Device Manager
    -Microsoft Fix it 50052
    Gateway, MX6441 laptop
    Windows MCE
    Service Pack 3
    All the important updates installed
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Hello

    It seems that Windows loses somehow USBSTOR.xxx files in the C:\Windows\INF folder. You can simply copy them from (C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_x86_neutral_83027f5d5b2468d3) to C:\Windows\INF, and that might solve the problem.

  • How to make iTunes automatically recognize the location of my iTunes library?

    I have my iTunes library on an external hard drive (all files).  Works fine when the drive is connected to the MacBook.  Recently, I decided that instead of having hung the MacBook hard drive all the time, I could connect it permanently to the network plug on my Time Capsule and access the library on the network.  Did this and traveled to the new location of the library to iTunes without any problems.  However, I must now go to the new location of the library whenever I run the iTunes application.  I know that iTunes needs to pick up the location automatically - what have I not done?

    Launch iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the file iTunes Library.itl the external drive.

    The external drive should be active and on (not sleeping) before you start iTunes.  Post by thanos206 with tip on using iTunes on external drives - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3282856 - ' create an alias of iTunes and place it on the network drive.

  • Cannot access BIOS when OS disk encrypted w / Bitlocker, starting on the USB key is not unlock disc

    Hello

    I enabled Bitlocker on my Acer Aspire 5315. The system partition is encrypted and the data partition. My motherboard doesn't have a TPM chip, so I opted for the unlock with a USB key.

    When I start the PC or wake them from their hibernation, the splashboot (with the logo of Acer) BIOS screen does not display the information below on how to access the BIOS (press F2) or the boot menu (F12). And therefore I can't access those as I used to.

    BitLocker does not account for the USB key, then asks for the password to unlock the HARD drive. Then Windows starts very well.

    However, restart (by a Windows or after you have entered the wrong password Bitlocker too many times), the BIOS splash screen is normal (with how access BIOS and boot menu), I can access BIOS by pressing F2 AND succesfully Bitlocker unlocks the HARD drive with the USB flash drive without having to ask for the password.

    So, my question is how Bitlocker unlock the HARD disk automatically via the USB when the PC starts?

    Thank you for reading.

    Note: I posted this question on http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprosecurity/threads they suggested that I ask the Acer support.

    Thank you also get answers in the TechNet forums.  I'm sorry that you were unable to get a more complete answer it.

    We suggest that you uninstall BitLocker and decrypt the drive to determine if this restores your ability to access the BIOS.

  • How make the USB auto-ouvrir its Nav Pane folder when I plug. Vista for this? __

    In the Navigation pane (what I call the directory root - no?), when I plug a USB key, I have to click on the folder "Computer" to open it, then the folder of USB stick to open that in order to be able to drag files from the hard drive to the files inside. The bookmarks bar is useless, it's just a subfolder in the "Favourites", just as boring the USB folder and is not yet open USB folder in the Nav pane. I can't find a way to make the USB auto-ouvrir its Nav Pane folder when I plug. Vista can do this?

    This is a Windows update that addresses the functionality of Autorun.  I don't know if it can solve your problem, but it can facilitate some of the following solutions or allow them to work if Vista is up to data: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029.

    Here's how to use Autorun with a USB Flash drive that can solve your problem (but it is a bit Advanced): http://www.samlogic.net/articles/autorun-usb-flash-drive.htm.

    Here is a free download which probably fix the AutoPlay in Vista and XP (when I insert my flash drive, a menu popss send me the optios including by studying the disk and when you click it it starts at the root of the drive, and I think that should happen with your USB key as well). http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/01/15/cleanhandlers-free-download-autoplay-cleanup-utility-for-xp-and-vista/.  I don't know if this will help, but it may solve the problem.

    Here is another article with a procedure of activation autorum for USB drives.  I think you want to insert explorer.exe as filename to open Windows Explorer. http://www.pctipsbox.com/how-to-autorun-programs-from-usb-flash-drive/.

    Here's yet another article on how to set up automatic execution for a USB key: http://www.dailycupoftech.com/usb-drive-autoruninf-tweaking/.

    I hope that one or more of these items helps solve your problem and allow you to do what you want to do with the USB.

  • How to make the page numbers see the v.5.6.2 Pages automatically through the document?

    MacOs 10.11.4, v5.6.2 Pages.

    How can I make Pages automatically page numbers?  I want to be able to scroll through a multipage created from a blank template document & print specific pages.  Have sought and found answers on paging, but no address my question.  JV

    Pages v5.6.2 dislike doing anything automatically. Page numbers are shown to you when you scroll through a document:

    1. Associated with each thumbnail in this display mode
    2. By inserting the page number in the header or the footer

    That's all for v5.6.2 Pages. Whenever you want to print a specific page, you will need to check the Pages: of the _____ to the _____ in the OS X Print Panel and specify the same value for each entry field to print the page in question. There is no automatic printing of selected pages in the selection of this Panel paper handling.

    Pages ' 09 v4.3 would show the current page number on a lower status bar, with or without page numbers inserted in the header of document/footers. This view could be clicked, and it would change to a text entry where we could fix the jump to page number.

    Whenever I go to or click on any type of input field (this could be an Email, a word in the document of entry cell in Excel, Internet browser input field, etc.) the following begins to appear automatically in the input field ' [[[... "and repeats continuously until I hit"ESC"or"DEL".
