Computer shows 84 programs running, don't know which can be closed
I have but.dont running 84 programs know which ones to stop.also approximately 20 to start
What I suggest, gives you access to a program that can potentially harm your PC if you are not aware of what you are doing. Don't try if you are not sure that you understand.
Hold the Windows key and press R (Windows key + R)
A 'Run' dialog box should appear. It contains, type "msconfig".
a "System Configuration" window should appear.
Go to the "Startup" tab and you can uncheck programs that you no longer want to start with your PC. Note that this list only shows no essential program for Windows, but other things, such as programs to your printer or other hardware devices, can be listed and necessary. Some examples of programs to uncheck are Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager, Google Talk, Google Update, Java (TM), Skype, etc.
Once you have disabled the programs you don't need, you can go to the Services tab.
Note that the tab Services DO list the required programs for Windows to run properly.
You can help avoid this danger by checking the box "hide all Microsoft services".
After having done that, you can uncheck things such as Google Update, NVIDIA, Steam Client Service and much more.
Also note that your Antivirus service is listed, and may also have a program listed as a so startup program. Be careful! And yet once, don't try if you are unsure about this task.

I hope you can help me. I bought adobe captivate 8 online and when I click the e-mail link for download, it comes up with 7 programs, some are 64-bit and some are not, my computer is 32-bit. I don't know which of these 7 to download? All or just the 4 non 64-bit?
I tracked down the problem with the download and installation, my windows 7 was missing a file and everything worked after reinstalling windows. The first 32-bit program in their list was used. I hope this can help others.

I bought a game and I need visual c ++, I don't know which of them I need
I bought a game and I need visual c ++, I don't know which of them I need because I tried to install many of them, but he repeated to me that it is not possible.
I really need your help because the game was very broad, and still I don't know whick one I need.
Thank you and sorry because my English is not so good.
Original title: microsoft visual c ++
- "I tried to install many of them, but he repeated to me that it is not possible."
You are logged on as administrator, and have you tried to disable your anti-virus or UAC temporarily when trying to install C++?
-As you have discovered, there are many versions of C++ (I have 20 on Win7 64 bit).
However, C++ error messages normally specify what version is necessary and the most recent
Games will automatically install the version of C++ required by the game.
-If the game is not to install C++ you will find that it uses on the game disc.
Just 'Open ' the drive and search for a C++ Installer (.exe) files and install C++ directly
starting from there.
-Have you installed all the 'important' Windows updates (do not install the 'optional' update
for graphics drivers)?
-Have you updated .NET Framework to version 4.5?
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 of the official Microsoft Download Center
If the game is a recent version, it may require C++ 2010 or 2010.
-You probably have these already, but just in case where -
-There are also three versions of C ++ 2012, but mine have been installed automatically. I'm not sure,
But if they were not installed by games, then maybe Windows updates install C ++ 2012?
-What games are you trying to install? Is this a diskette the retail version, steam or to download other
version (specify what 'other')?
And what graphics card your machine uses?

See one thing I know that there is something missing, is that, after I have a malware that has been recently repaired. I had deleted the first account on this computer and since then I can make a new account, but I can't use it or sign on it. Another thing, this computer had started to run oddly since happened. There is no return of follow-up that don't pass. So I can't get back on track. And here the updates coming to pass through (which seem to people with the same problem to the failure of the updates on the computer with frame 4). So my main concern is that there is a way I can run a program that is patch my computer, with missing files. Also how can I solve this problem of the user. But im hoping also that the correction could perhaps solve my game glitches/shut-downs/freezing
The console session is just reference to the console's command prompt window. Make sure that the title of it administrator: command prompt. If it doesn't have the word in there administrator, make sure you right click on the link to the command prompt and chose to run as administrator in step 1 of these instructions.
