I'm confused someone help me please

The software that you have installed just before this problam, you need to uninstall. Before you uninstall the software, go to the Device Manager and uninstall the drivers listed for your device and if you are prompted to delete the driver software so. If the problem disappeared after this reinstall your device. If the probem comes back after the reinstallation of the unit, go to the machine in and get an updated driver.

  • After running System Restore my computer asks for a password when connecting and I don't remember the password.

    I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305.  I ran the system restore due to a problem of "Internet Explorer cannot display the website" (by Microsoft troubleshooting guide for this problem) and selected restore point earlier.  Now the computer asks for a password that I don't remember.  I tried all the possible passwords I can think.   There is only a single user account on this computer.  The administrator account should be disabled, it is not an option when connecting safe mode.  I don't have a system repair disc set.   Is it possible to run the system back restore to select a more recent restore point which does not require a password?  Or y at - it another way to connect to the computer?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/undo-system-restore

    If you tried to use the system restore to solve a problem, but the problem remained or other problems were introduced, you can undo the restore operation. After you cancel the system restore, you can try using a different restore point.

  • Computer asking for device driver for printer

    I just bought a HP Pavilion all-in-one PC with Windows 7. He asks a driver for my Epson Stylus NX130 all in one printer/copier/scanner. The last time that happened, it is with my other program Windows 7 on another computer, and I had to go out and buy the active printer, I have, because it also called a device driver. And I'm not willing or able to pay for the download that is supposed to address. I hate hating now Windows 7 and Windows XP! Why is happening and do I just dump Windows 7, because as far as I can tell, not even using the corresponding products/devices/equipment manufacturers is a help. What should I do? Any help would be appreciated!

    You do not have to pay to download any driver, if you have installed any third-party driver tool or program optimizer based on CSSTidy uninstall before cause you more problems

    You install the printer using your Epson cd or if you have lost it by visiting the Epson support site, specific to your model

    Did anyone out there contacted by "windows" say you they receive notifications about a virus tries to hijack your computer and ask for help to remove the files? Initially, it was an area code 855, but now the number is unavailable. I get a lot of calls.

    any help would be appreciated

    Here are the tips that we regularly give the posters who receive these types of calls:

    You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

    If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

    If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

    And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  • I'm trying to install Acrobat 8 Std on a laptop computer that was in need of a restoration.  He asks the file AdobePDF.dll since my Vista CD - I do not have.  How can I get this file or another which will allow my Acrobat 8 work on this laptop with Win 8

    I'm trying to install Acrobat 8 Std on a laptop computer that was in need of a restoration.  He asks the file AdobePDF.dll since my Vista CD - I do not have.  How can I get this file or another which will allow my Acrobat 8 work on this laptop with Win 8.1, which she did before restoring?

    John,

    AdobePDF.dll is in the file Data1.cab. Mine is located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional\ You need to extract the file "AdobePDF.dll_64" from the .cab file. You can do this with WinZip or 7-Zip. Everything you need to extract is this file, nothing else... Once you have extracted it, remove the _64, so the name of the file is AdobePDF.dll. Then place the file in any location you want and run the program it when asked. For a file location, I suggest to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\

    Hope that helps.

  • I have a lot of favorites, and I want to search them, similar to a search for files on my computer. How can I do? Please say it's possible.

    I need to be able to search for my Firefox favourites. For example, I know that I have bookmarked with wot on behalf of it, but for the life of me I can not find it among all the bookmarks I have. There must be around a thousand (not exaggerating do not). I know not at all where I did, and I know it's there, but I can't.

    So, how do I'm looking my favorites similar to as I search my computer for files?

    If FF doesn't have this ability, could you PRETTY PLEASE consider adding this feature?

    Firefox allows the bookmark search. The "Bookmarks" menu, select "Show all bookmarks" (Ctrl + Shift + B). A new window will open showing the bookmarks library. In the upper right corner is a search box.

    Also, by default, when you start to type an address in the address bar at top, Firefox offers links to history & bookmarks. So you should be able to find just here also. Click here to learn more.
