CANNOT FIND MS SECURITY ESSENTIALS ON MY COMPUTER TO CREATE THE ICON ON THE DESKTOP (I KNOW ITS THERE)

need to create the icon on the desktop for ms security essentials and cant even find in my programs (I know its there, says Action Center turned on)

You see in the Notification area? Right-click on an empty spot. Properties | Customize Notification icons and adjust the setting for the MSE icon.

If you must have the it on the desktop: start | All programs. Right-click on MSE and create a shortcut on the desktop.

    Hi ROBERT,

    The reason why you get this message is because you are trying to install a version of Acrobat upgrade.

    During the upgrade, you will be asked to enter the serial number twice. The first option is when you enter the serial number for the product you have purchased.

    The second time, you must enter the serial number for the previous version.

    Therefore, please enter the serial number. the previous version of Acrobat on the second line.

    It will be useful.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    1. which version of the Windows operating system is installed on the computer?

    2. What is the exact name of the security program that you have installed?

    3. were you able to install the program of security without any problem?

    If security program installed with no problem, then the program will have its own settings or it will appear in the lower right of the screen. You will be able to check the settings and make changes according to your needs from there.

    If you use Windows 7, then I suggest you to go through the steps mentioned in the link and the Coachman.

    Original title: re install windows 8.1.

    I have problems with my computer and want to re install windows 8.0. I had upgraded my computer windows 7 to windows 8 but can't update windows like systems to give me an error that it cannot find a file and he needs me to insert the media.  I insert the windows disc 8, but the system indicates that it is not the correct information.  He is looking for another disc?  I created a recovery usb drive, but that doesn't seem to help.  I feel that I have completely new install windows 8 but I am nervous of course think I mess up something.  given that this computer was originally shipped with windows 7, I have to use the recovery discs I've done initially or is there a way to create new ones with the new windows 8?

    Hello and welcome!

    If you are using a CD to upgrade of Windows 8, then there not all reinstall the files included for a full Windows.

    Your best option is to use the recovery partition on your hard disk or the recovery CD from your PC back to Windows 7. Then Windows 7 SP1 upgrade and get all updates. Then, move to Windows 8 again.

  • Download Microsoft Security Essentials for another computer

    I'm trying to fix a friends computer, but the internet is now down.  However, there is no anti-virus installed.  I want to download Microsoft Security Essentials on a USB key so that I can install it on his computer.

    The problem is that I have Windows 8.1 and whenever I go to the page to download MSE for XP, it shows me only the options for Windows 8.1, which does not use that.
    How can I download MSE for XP to my computer Windows 8.1?

    I have no win 8.1 to see what is happening, but go here, scroll down to 'English' and use the drop-down list on the right to get the XP version: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-all-versions

  • Cannot find CD/DVD drive in my computer on Device Manager. CD - DVD does not work

    I recently discovered that my CD/DVD drive does not work. It worked fine before. Tried to burn a CD in iTunes, but the error message says that the software or the CD device could not be found.

    My CD/DVD drive does not appear in the computer or Device Manager. I have read a few forums and tried to delete upper and lower filters, but that no longer works. Help, please.

    I am running Windows Vista - it came installed on my computer when it was purchased.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
