Cannot remove gadgets. If I try, the computer crashes.

I have problems to remove gadgets. For some reason, I have now 3 calendars but I'm unable to delete one of them. (I could charge gadgets from the temperature/currency after some fiddling).

I have tried everything just by clicking on the small cross (up/right of the gadget), but the computer then hangs. I also tried to click right on the gadget, click on "close gadget", but the computer froze again.

When it freezes, I can not yet properly stop... have to just switch off at the power button.

I did a right click on the gadget & looked for properties in the drop down... but properties was not offered in a choice.

Hope you can help... Thank you.

No problem. And don't forget to mark the reply (s) as the answer, so that this issue can be put in the section has responded...

  • try to uninstall service pack 3, but the computer crashes

    Service Pack 3/Pagemaker problems

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition. None of the Adobe CS2 programs allow me to open the old Pagemaker files.  It gives the error message: file is damaged.  According to my research, the problem with Service Pack 3.  The research also tells me that the solution is the removal of the service pack.

    When I try to remove Service Pack 3, the computer crashes.  Are there other solutions?

    Problem is not with the help of CS2 in itself - it works fine...  Apart from the fact that none of the CS2 programs will allow me to open Pagemaker 7 or old Pagemaker files.

    Who should have nothing to do with the level of service pack for XP!

    Yet once, if there is a problem, uninstall and reinstall CS2. But as you know, CS2 is quite old and is no longer supported. If this feature is important to you, I guess using the current version would be the way to go.

  • Hard drive being highly accessible all few seconds, although it is, the computer crashes

    Since about 3 days (or at least that is the oldest I noticed it, but he couldn't have done it much earlier) my computer was freezing for 3-4 seconds, while the hard drive turns on solid. This occurs regardless of whether the computer is nothing or not constantly every few seconds. I went around the internet looking for ideas, but nothing I tried to (disable superfetch, windows search, start in safe mode, update drivers, looking for the raid drivers, disarm avg, defragmentation and simply drop each program without importance, I can get away with) had no effect.

    The computer is an Alienware M15x, I got less than two months ago (totally awesome Christmas gift). It has Windows 7 Home Edition premium on it, a hard disk of 500 GB that says all diagnostics works very good and 6 GB of ram, I had AVG Antivirus on it too (until I took it in the attempt to solve this problem), and the protection of the system (the backups and whatnot) was already disabled. I also did a restore system before it started doing this, but which did not help either.

    The only problem it says that appears when I generate a health report to the system that is the disk queue length average 2-3 and going as high as 30. I can sit and watch points every 2-3 seconds since the resource monitor, which coincides with the HDD light will the computer crashes. It does even in safe mode, and it made all the games freeze market too.

    I'm completely at the end of my tether here and nothing I tried worked, is there something I'm missing here?

    Absolutely nothing worked, I'll try to reinstall windows, and if that does not do, Alienware will repair this one way or another. Thanks for the suggestions so.

    (edit a few hours later)

    I reinstalled, and it always does, so the hard drive needs to be spoiled. guess I must return.

  • The computer crashes; slow to start; Not relevant

    It's all thanks to IT.

    Hello

    You will have to provide much more information to help. Some questions are:

    (1) what you were doing when the computer crashed? What programs have been opened? Running?

    (2) you online were at the time? Had recently downloaded anything? You have applications antivirus and anti-malware on your computer? Have you run analyses with these programs? If so, what was done and what show?

    (3) what do you mean exactly by "inadmissible"? You can do something, or is it just sit there doing nothing? When you say 'slow start', which is just an impression or you timed? If you have timed the start, what are the gaps of time?

    (4) depth OS and little do you have? How much RAM do you have? What and how many programs you load at startup?

    This is the starting point to determine what might happen. There may be more questions that need to ask, but until you have answered these questions, there is little I can do to help you.

  • When I try to Earthlink software, I receive the following message if the computer crashes before poster: RAS error Interactive Mode #703

    I have Windows XP Home Edition, the internet connection switched through Earthlink and McAfee antivirus.  In August, my antivirus software and when I tried to access the internet, the computer locked up--had to disconnect/reconnect to restart. Problem persisted. McAfee can tell me nothing.  At the suggestion of Dell, I replaced the hard drive.  Reinstalled Windows mfg disk and could connect to the internet just fine w/out of antivirus software.  Installed McAfee and locked up again.  McAfee is baffled by this, as is Earthlink.  When I tried the Earthlink software, I received the following message before the computer locked: RAS error Interactive Mode #703.

  • Cannot remove illustrates file listed in the file Explorer Vista - does not exist?

    I managed to create a zero-byte file "bomadvice11.cycs" from a coded application that appears in the Explorer of files, but when you try to remove it receives the message "unable to find this article. It is not located in... Check the location of the item and try again. Also can not delete it from the command prompt. File is also crashing the synchronization software. Have you tried a check disk to reboot to clear it but no luck. File is not in a folder protected etc.

    SystemsEng,
    Try the following to try to remove the directory that the file is in.  If this does not work, I recommend looking into a third-party file removal tool.

    Open a command prompt
    * Go to the drive where the file undeletable. For example, C:
    * If you are type c:
    * Go to the folder where, in my case it was located in C:\_cache\delete\ folder problem
    * The folder I could not remove called him "happy tree friends" (friend of tree C:\_cache\delete\happy) then I typed:

    C:
    _cache CD
    removal of CD
    (as you can see I do not open the folder problem itself)
    * Type: dir /x. Directory listing is displayed containing the 8.3 names of folders and files, in my case it showed: happyt ~ 1
    * And then type: rd happyt ~ 1 (replace happyt ~ 1 with the name of the folder see you)
    * The folder is deleted.

  • Cannot remove a printer driver in the version of Windows7 Home Premium (64-bit).

    After you install the version of Windows7 Home Premium (64-bit), my printer (Samsung ML2552W) would print not but continues to divide a batch of blank pages.  I thought that the printer driver is apparently corrupt and I want to remove it and install again.  However I was not able to do this.  I signed in as an administrator, went to the MMC, but not able to find the "Print Management" snap-in  Then I read that Windows7 Home Premium doesn't have the snap-snap-in "Print Management".  Still, I have this snap or not, how do I remove the printer driver for this printer?

    Have you searched online? You searched on Google? You have restarted your computer? Here are the questions I ask for you help answer yourself.

    Have you checked if the printer has enough ink in there? Did you check the Samsung website? Have you contacted Samsung on this issue, well, have you? Have you checked the drivers? Have you updated the drivers? Have you checked the 'Device Manager' for the problem? Did you that the cable to the computer to the printer is not a little in it? You should check these. And if they don't work then come back.
