  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

  ·         When was the last time it worked?

  ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

  When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

  1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
  2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
  3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

  The options available for automatic updates.

  You must make some changes in the windows registry.

• Cannot change the sidebar folder options

  You know the side bar, with its Favorites and others? Well, I can't add anything to this file from Favorites. Nor can I change the download location (which is the default "downloads"); Every time darn, I download anything, I click on the small arrow to the left of the address bar and select "desktop" or something else. Not a chore, I know, but certainly a nuisance. In addition, I want as much control over the computer that I can, and it does not help. Thank you very much.

  You can drag a Favorites folder and drop and it will appear here

  Drag it to the Favorites or the star text near him, not on the elements
  To change the default download directory
  1. Open the office, press Windows key + R type all iexplore and press enter
  2. Simultaneously press Ctrl + J
  3. Click on Options
  4. Click Browse
  5. Select the folder you want your downloaded files in, and then press OK

I'm used to be able to make changes to the settings, but have not been able to do for a month. Around the same time this started, I have updated my Norton 360. These two things are related?

  Cannot change the desktop background.  I have a gateway Media Center GT5014.  They said there was a MS pilot specially for this problem but I don't know that it's the official name.  Or not my "update software drivers".  Ms certainly knows what it is... I've seen some answers in the forum for the starter editions, but nothing for the Home Premium edition.  I can't change themes, wallpapers.  Thank you.  kiki47z

  ALSO windows STANDART color calibration OPTION - works in the same way! (really, you can only change gamma, bridhtnes and contrast - have NO sliders to change...)
  
  Hello
  I'm back with my problem...
  Really nothing works for me so I dicided to go back to xp.
  Now there is new version of win 7 7600 and I tried - still no change...
  I tried all the drivers + eysy = no result.

  "I think that person just to use this option so no one have the same problem))
  -everyone I asked - just say ' I didn't I'm able to change the brightness it y.

  I tried:
  181.71_geforce_win7_32bit_international_beta
  182.06_geforce_winvista_32bit_international_whql
  182.08_geforce_winvista_32bit_international_whql

• Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

  Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

  Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
  Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

  Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
  What Miss me?

  Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .
