Cannot get rid of windows.old
I've tried disk cleaner, it is not bring up the option to delete the old files.
I would like to release the 20G, if I can.
Thank you.
JJ
Hello
If you use Windows 7 or later, Disk Cleaner don't automatically give the possibility to remove previous Installations of Windows. To do this, you must run the cleaning disc and then when he finished detection, click Clean Up system files. You will need to provide confirmation then, and it can detect previous Installations of Windows .
Hope this has helped.

I recently updated my home information, but my old secondary e-mail address to use for password reset confirmation is no longer active. I said it's "lost" (only option provided for me) but Hotmail now lists my another new address but it showing pending confirmation by e-mail. I came across the same problem when I tried to have my PC listed as "Trusted PC"... Hotmail wanted to send confirmation to my former secondary e-mail before you "trust" to my new PC.

How can I get rid of Windows Mail?
I have Windows Vista and I have this stupid Windows mail that comes with it. I never use this program and I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of it. I also went to remove its files, but he says that the files were nesesary to running some programs, so I decided to not to remove. So, is it a safe way to get rid of Windows mail without messing something up? Thank you for your time and support, of lnachtigal
You cannot get rid of Windows Mail because it's part of your Vista operating system. If you use it, there should not be a problem, but you can disable it if you wish.

Download and install the free http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 to get into safe mode with network connection.
Once you have updated Malwarebytes run and see if it can remove the virus.

I ran all virus time and time again and cannot get rid of this e-mail worm that continues to move forward, what I can do now, stop using hotmail?
Hello
Why do you think you have an e-mail worm? If you can't name it?
If someone is Spoofing emails that appear to come from you then they probably never
had access to your e-mail account. Instead, they have either a copy of your contacts
list or just an email from you or one of you where you were one of the recipients. Those
could be gleaned either your computer, the computer of a friend, or hacking
any site or intercept an email on your behalf or to you (you may not be the main)
(beneficiary).Once they have this information there is nothing you can do to avoid that they don't
send usurped messages. Warn your friends that is happening and they
can be entitled to install rules such as parodies are treated as SPAM or JUNK
mail.I've even seen usurped by email that appears to be from a valid user name however
This name doesn't have an e-mail account on the mail system used in parody.
As SpiritX - AT - realmail.com may be a valid account, however, parody used
SpiritX - AT - wrongmail.com. The latter could still be considered an email address valid
SpiritX if it was allowed through JUNK and JUNK e-mail filtering. (The - AT - has been used
instead of so that those addresses would not be filtered by auto responses.
as if by magic.)============================================================
Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.
The reason why you want to do this is to make sure no more hacking your computer is
still in effect (if it has been hacked). You have changed the password once but I would
Change it again after these checks.It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
NOT only the answer to the address.How to read the message headers

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to

resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

virus: I struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them
I have struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them. I bought a few programs, but they have also been infected. any suggestions for a really good virus buster.
Hello
First of all, an antivirus solution to an already infected system of loading is usually pretty useless. The bug will block all attempts to remove or load what it sees as a threat. Second, without knowing which virus you are affected by, it is difficult to be precise.
You can take action include:
(a) work in safe mode, there is much less likely that the virus is able to load and resist actively.
(b) the safe mode, run utilities malwarebytes.org and AV solution that was installed * before * your infection.
(c) post is back with a better description of what is on your system to learn more targeted advice.

border of 1 inch on my gateway DX4300 desktop and I cannot get rid of it. I have a Dell ST2310 HDMI. I tried the ATI driver to this day and used the upscaling up to 0. Once the screen saver comes on he returned to the border of 1 inch on my destop and reduced my Explorer window to fit on the border. When restart my computer I can't see the commissioning or put my PC in safe mode. I need help.
Hello
Try to update the graphics card drivers for the monitor to which you connect to the laptop using HDMI. Visit the manufacturer's Web site to do the same.

How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?
How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system? I remember on xp, I couldn't allow him to function as a windows 95 or 98, if I wanted to. I just want my computer works like windows xp.
So can YER a little confused you explain a little better please.
OR
do you mean get W7 to resemble the way XP worked?
In this case (start base fast and simple):
- try to set a theme for a basic/classic theme - more like 98 then XP well.
- Download (AV Control) and then use "classic shell" - menu style old XP.
- Ditto for "explore classic" mentioned on this site.
- Set the control panel to use the icons (small or large) as opposed to categories.
But its still W7 in disguise.
Is that the sort of thing you mean?
If so, personally, I think its better to stick with W7 and get used to. I bet you will love windows 8 :)

I need to get rid of windows 8.
I bought a HP Pavilion all-in-one Windows 8, not a touch screen. I hate windows 8. I'm a typist. I spend more time trying to find/load a program that I'm using a program. I don't like these tiles running all the time. My computer is slower than my OLD Vista I had before this one. Can I get rid of windows 8 and install windows 7 without all these tiles? I'm NOT a gamer, do not load the music or videos, not on social media other than email. I want to just do my job and not be disturbed by this thing to know. HELP me before I throw this expensive useless computer at the door.

My real opinion: the system back and get one with Windows 7 pre-installed. Yes. They exist.
Otherwise...
Make sure that the manufacturer supports the system in question with Windows 7 (with drivers and software download for Windows 7).
Get (probably buy) Windows 7.
Install Windows 7.
Install Windows 7 drivers for the hardware.
Install all the software you need / use it.
Update, patch, etc.
Use. -
