Computer asking to configure search settings v1.2.3 opening of any folder.

HI, trying to open my photos and various other files, when I try I get a message saying that Windows needs to configure the search settings v1.2.3, it then loads but does not end and then said that is located on a network not available, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Looks like your computer is afflicted with adware - not malware and it was probably installed with something you have downloaded and installed...

Some things that you download and install you will be asked to install the other toolbars - ask or dealio for example.  It is usually best to decline these things.

After getting to the "methods"...

When you see Search v1.2.3 pop up settings, click Cancel (you may need a few time you go).

Go to your add/remove programs and find Search Settings v1.2.3 and uninstall/remove, reboot and see how things look.

Maybe it's everything you need (there could be more to do), but start by first, then you can clean up the leftovers.

    How to configure the settings of mail on HP Laserjet Enterprise 500 color MFP M575 printer/scanner?  The Office has 5 staff members each with ending with [email protected] for example e-mail addresses.  We have also created an email for option analysis as [email protected] (not sure if creating an e-mail address for the scan option is required).  We are not part of any domain, and there is no server in the office.  When you try to configure the email on the printer/scanner control panel it asks the host name.

    What host name that I can use?

    If you try to configure the browser by using the IP address of the printer, he asks as the SMTP server.

  • 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.

    Hello, Dorian,

    If you have downloaded in Internet Explorer, go to tools, click View downloads, and you'll see the directory where it has been downloaded. Not visible? Look down, in the bottom left of the word 'options', click on this and it will display the current default folder for downloads, but after writing it down, you can change it to any folder of your choice (mine is C:\__Downloads - always watch first!).

    If you use another browser, go to this toolbar for browsers and search for the download folder and display it. You should find similar settings for the other locations.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

    As you know all configurations can be specific and depend on the used material. Believe me on this path it is not easy to say something concrete, because the BT home hub white is unknown to me and can I just suggest that you carefully read the user manuals which must be detailed explain how to connect external devices to the hub.

    The manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows.

    If it is not a set of disks with the computer, there will be a hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore), you would use to return the computer to the State of the OOBE (Out of Box Experience).

    Usually, just by pressing F11 continuously during the computer startup to display a boot menu offering the option you need.
