  My computer says windows cannot reset your computer... Please help me to reset my computer...

  The original product key is embedded in the motherboard of the laptop UEFI firmware, so you're not going to lose...

  If you restore using recovery media HP, which will retrieve the key automatically and reactivate the original OS.

• Cannot reset Apple ID same security issues with the link for valid reset. Help?

  So, I'm trying to reset my security questions, because I forgot the answers. I followed all the procedures to do, but it won't work.

  I clicked on the link for reset enter my Apple ID account page, then get the message: 'Reset Instructions sent. An email with the instructions was sent to @emailaddress. Follow the instructions in the email to reset your security questions. » - OK

  On the login screen, I entered my account information, email, and password in the fields and click the button to continue. Instead of connect, I get the message pop-under from the password field as follows: - FAIL

  I try again and again, but it never works. Whenever I get my password and trying to proceed, the loading spinner runs for a bit, then I get this message "to reset your security questions, sign in to your account and start again." I have never spent this page and in a region where I am able to actually reset my security questions. I tried with all browsers, Firefox, Chrome, Safari... nothing works. Now, I have tried 3 times reset by e-mail. It will not work. What is going on? Is the site broken?

• Cannot reset Firefox.

  When I start Firefox, it happens with Yahoo, NOT with the default Firefox. If I try to reset Firefox, I get the response "well, it's embarrassing" and cannot reset. I went to the deleted control panel Firefox and downloaded and re-installed FIrefox from the site of the Mozilla Foundation, and the problem still persists. I can't get rid of Yahoo.

  As a side note, Chrome works OK. When I start Chrome, I automatically open four tabs. From time to time, opens Chrome a fourth tab... and it's Yahoo. I can go into the settings and delete the fourth tab and everything is OK for a while, but eventually the fifth tab opens again, and I again to remove. Don't know if these are related issues, but I don't believe in coincidence.

  I use WebRoot security and have scanned my PC and deleted all the threats. As WebRoot is, my PC is clean.

  You can check the suspicious extensions or recently installed unknowns.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

• I am trying to install a new printer, but I get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings? Can anyone help?

  I am trying to install a new printer, and to do that I know I have to disable firewall settings. I try, but I get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings? Can anyone help?

  I tried to go into Windows and change the settings of the firewall, but I get the same message.

  I also tried to run an update of the Windows security updates, but same message.

  I use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

  Any help would be greatly appreciated?

  Thank you

  HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.

  Hi Winston/Hewlit,

  Thank you both for your advice.
  While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).
  After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.
  Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.
  Thanks again for your help,
  M

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:
