Cannot force closure of Windows 7without
I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and started having a problem where I can't stop Windows, it's waiting (and waiting - days if I left it) for Google Drive close. The only two options I have is to kill it in Task Manager or force Windows to close.
I found a solution for Windows 10, but not for Windows 7. There is a long thread in the Google Forum (where I found the link to the Windows 10 solution) is happening for years without solution.
Until someone has posted this: it seems that it is a question of Microsoft people. This fixed it for me - http://answers.microsoft.com/
So, is there a solution for Win7 too?
Hey,.
Please contact Microsoft Community.
I appreciate the effort you make to resolve the issue. I can understand how frustrating it would be.
I suggest you refer to the suggestion given by Chris.H - Support Engineer replied on 12 November. in the thread mentioned.
If still problem persists please write us
I hope this helps.

How can I force pop-up windows to have toolbars and menus in their entirety?
Whenever you click on a link to a website that opens a context menu, it creates a pop-up with limited functions. It is very confusing for novice users who often need to print this page, but can't, because the menus and toolbars have disappeared.
Is there a setting or a Firefox Extension to force pop-up windows to have always toolbars and menus in their entirety?
See-> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Prevent_websites_from_disabling_new_window_features
- in the filter on the topic: config display (see below) type dom.disable_window_open_feature
- Double-click the elements which show the value 'false' to change to 'true' (user set / "BOLD").
- the already set parameters are 'true' by default Firefox and you do not need to change these

El Capitan is the gel while on the line. Cannot force them to leave. What should do?
I'm having this problem too... I will use it and out of nowhere the mouse cursor freezes just and everything becomes insensitive, but unlike the other gels I have lived in the past, the music/videos will still play. I won't get it even a spinning beachball, just a pointer frozen arrow and keyboard stops responding. Is what happens to you?

Why cannot open itunes with windows 10
Why cannot open iTunes with windows 10
For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. (Yes, I see that you've done that but maybe not the specific deletions which are mentioned).
Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.
More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.
See also install missing components in case the installation of a component at a time is successful.
Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

Cannot open file because Windows needs to know what program created the file
After downloading some files when I try to open the file, I get the message cannot open the file, windows needs to know what program created the file.
Any suggestions?
Perhaps no program has been assigned to this file format and so you cannot open these files.
I put t know which files you downloaded, but you can choose an application installed that can open these files.Right click the file and I have to then choose open with.
Then, you could choose the program you want to use.Best regards

How can I force pop-up windows to open in a new tab
We have a new software which always opens a context menu when you click on links to Java. The contents of such a resizable window fits perfectly in a new tab.
I would like to force these new windows in a new tab.
Blocker is active and that the internal site is in the list of exceptions.
So it would be nice to have an option for this field in general settings or in the pop-up Blocker settings.
It of no bug, but could be a new feature of Firefox (as in IE).
Thank you &Kind regards

A good Antivirus Program enough to protect more desktop that cannot be will become Windows 8
Just found out that my office 5 years cannot be upgraded to Windows XP 8 because of an incompatible bios.
Already discussed this elsewhere
Like many home users, the Office has been used for more serious work such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Photo editing high quality images.
What are the opinions on just letting a virus of high quality like Bitdefender not protecting it and just let it go that Microsoft supports is more security for XP. I know that it is possible simply to keep disconnected from the internet forever. I was wondering.
Antivirus and anti-malware are REACTIVE. At the time where they usually understand that an exploit was used to infect/infest you (which is likely to be how the lack of new updates will expose Windows XP to infection/infestation) - it's too late.
If this system will take care of Windows 7, and you might drop to 8.1 Windows, it will be probably very well in the hardware specs for Windows 7. 8.1 Windows and Windows 7 will require a clean install anyway. Purchase a support/license of Windows 7 OEM (System Builder) and install it and you're good until 2020 and you will always have the general appearance of Windows XP and most of your hardware/software will probably be able to be installed and running.

Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.
I tried running Outlook.exe / resetnavpane because I see it worked for a ton of people - but I got the error message "cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. The command line argument is not valid. Check the switch you are using.
This is almost always due to:
1. you have an older version of Outlook that does not have command line switch. What version of Outlook you have?
2. you have not put a space between "Outlook.exe" and "/ resetnavpane.Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.
