  Hello

  Is there an error message? If so, what would you say? If this isn't the case, then you probably have a stop initiated by the hardware to prevent overheating damage to the system. If this is the case, can help clear the vents and intake fans / exhaust so that clean the dust bunnies (desktop systems). Also make sure that the CPU cooler is not clogged and that all fans are working properly. With laptops, a cooling pad can help.

• My computer will not open certain programs, and the system does not.

  I have really no idea what's wrong with my computer, so I'll just list the symptoms.

  The first and foremost problem is that my computer won't open some programs.  First thing I noticed when I tried to open iTunes and it did not open, no matter how many times I tried.  I went to restart my computer, and that opens up a host of new questions.

  My antivirus - Windows Live OneCare - software does not open.  I tried to turn on Windows Defender for malware, but it crashes when I try to do.  Not only does iTunes opens, but neither a few other programs I have on my computer--mainly those who could help me to solve this problem, such as the restoration of the system.  When I try to uninstall a program - all - nothing happens and he refuses to let me try to uninstall anything else, insisting something is already uninstall.  And my computer can't detect my printer.

  Which leads to my other problem: I have two computers connected to a network via an Ethernet cable.  The other computer is fine and can access the Internet fine, but when he sends something to the printer, nothing happens on the end of the printer.  It is a red 'X' the symbol of my network on my computer in the lower right corner (next to), so I guess this confirms my concerns about the network.  I don't understand what exactly is the problem, just that the other computer cannot print (it is not connected directly to the printer, mine is).

  Because Windows Live OneCare and Windows Defender does not work, I can not scan to see if it is the result of spyware or malware.  And because whenever I click on the system restore, nothing happens, I can't restore the computers to something else.  I'm completely stuck.  More critical functions simply do not work.

• A Dell Inspiron 531 computer will be compatible with Windows 7? Conflicting information between sources.

  I looked on these contradictory information, and here's what I found... I'm still not sure about that.
  I found information about this Dell Inspiron 531 computergoing to be compatible with Windows 7 on the site of Microsoft and in the control panel of that computer system information.
   
  But then I found more information on the Dell website that indicates otherwise.
   
  Please follow me closely here, it took some time to compile this info.
   
  Allows first eliminate what would be the simplest solution I already tried, that would be the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" located at this address: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/UpgradeAdvisor
   
  On this Web page, there is a small program to download and install that is supposed to tell me if this computer is compatible with Windows 7 in processor speed, RAM, graphics card, etc. and devices, automatically... Unfortunately, it does not work... I installed it and it stopped with the message: "Windows 7 advisor stopped working" so that program and this option is unnecessary.
   
  So to see the Web page at this address:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/system-requirements 
   
  It is the "Windows 7 system requirements" list of information... it shows that I need at least a 1 GHZ processor or faster, 32-bit... This Inspiron 531 has a 2 GHZ processor and is 32-bit. This page is says I need 1 GB of RAM... it has 1 GB of RAM. It says I need 16 GB of available disk space, it has a C 138 GB primary hard drive which will be deleted when Windows 7 is ready to be installed. And he said that I need a"Graphics card DirectX 9 (with WDDM1.0 or higher driver)" ... the last part in parentheses is the only part that I'm not sure, but my system via the control panel information shows most of this information as being adequate.
   
  Go to this URL: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/inspd531/en/OM/appendix.htm#wp1149549 to see the Dell Inspiron 531 annex page online and click on the link above titled, 'Specifications' or just scroll to see... there in the category 4th down titled 'Video', it shows the "video integrated Nvidia (DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.9 Graphics Processing Unit) '. This seems to correspond to the above listed"DirectX 9" info page "Windows 7 system requirements".
     
  But then there are 2 pages Web of Dell, which indicate that this Dell Inspiron 531 is only supported by Windows Vista and Windows XP... see this URL for this Web page... http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/osmatrix/index?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs& ~ ck = mn  
   
  This is another contradictory Dell Web page at the URL:http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&docid=360683&journalid=910DD2FE57EB5496E040AC0A64E9331A#Issue0_1
   
  It shows, once you scroll down just a bit, a list of the current Dell computers that can support Windows 7... the Inspiron 531 is not on this list.
  This list excludes the Inspiron 531, but it then says' does not have a computer on these lists? Click here to shop for a new Dell! » .. .bad grammar side, this line that I'm pointing out may just be trying to sell me a new Dell computer, if I actually need or not Dell
  !
   
  And finally my info the computer from the control panel shows aprocessor 2 GHZ, 1 GB of RAM or 958 MB anyway and the 32 bit OS.
   
  And Yes, I ran the built-in diagnostic test Dell PSA on this computer and when it tests the sound card and the speakers, he plays the song a bit in each channel and then on both channels, so I know that the material is good on this computer.
  I know it's a lot to go through... it took me a while to compile this info, and I sent a version of this letter with screenshots and other MS Tech in India who I worked with for a month on the phone and email to correct a problem of 'no sound' that simply cannot be beat.
  But I'm trying to make sure before I do a clean install of Windows 7, when the disc arrives here, I don't clean it hard drive alone to experience Windows 7 does not work on this machine.
  Actually, I'm a Mac user and I don't have much trouble in those... Just trying to fix the computer of my mother for it, and now it seems that trying to install Windows 7 is the only way to get the sound back so that my mom can enjoy some music again.
  I never thought that I would like to know as well on the PC troubleshooting I've learned in the last month, but I don't like, and there is still no sound on this computer and everything has been tried... I made a collage of a hundred different error messages from Windows that I think I'll put it up for bid on ebay... I just want to go home to my trusty Macs.
   
  Please give me your comments... I would of course welcome.
  Thank you
  NuMetro

  I am happy that you have it installed, but you have sound?

  I was too surprised when Windows 7 to install all my drivers in device for me!

  The video driver that it wanted to install was even later that of Nvidia. Also, it does not have the driver Physx I needed, so I had to install one myself. The other driver, that he has not installed was the pilot for the X - Fi card. He did install my motherboard if chipset drivers, but I turned around and installed ones that came with my motherboard.

  Windows 7 does a better job to settle on earlier versions of Windows, but do not watch install what he wants to make sure that it does not have something that you don't want. He came along and updated my video driver again, but when that happens, it installs just the driver itself and not the driver Physx and my video control panel. Now when he talks about video drivers, I just go to Nvidia and download the full set.

  You have the option in there for Windows Update to select which updates you want to allow. I would have put to allow you to decide which ones you want and do not let do it on his own.

  I'm glad you're a happy camper! I do not see where you come with Vista, I jumped on this operating system completely because of the horror stories I've heard.

  The last update was on 8/14 and since then I can not access the server for updates.  My machine is a Toshiba Satellite L555, CPU Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, 64-bit with Windows Home Premium.  I get error code 80072EE2. I installed Norton Internet Security.
  This problem also exists on two other computers.  One is a Dell Inspiron with Vista which has had the problem for several months and the other is a same Toshiba that is fresh out of the box and has no additional firewall or antivirus protection.  I would be very appeciate any assistance. I tried to disable the firewall and added update sites to trusted sites.

  Hi Rtgf123,

  If Windows Update, error 80072ee2 during updates, the Windows Update servers may experience an unusually high number of requests for updates. Close Windows Update, wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then run Windows Update again. Alternatively, you can wait for automatic update of Windows run at its next scheduled time.

• whenever I open a file, the computer will automatically create a shortcut in the same location.

  Suddenly, I realized that I had an abundance of shortcuts in each folder.  Shortcuts that I knew that I had not created.  As I paid more attention and also tested, I come to realize that whenever I open a file the computer created a shortcut to this file in the same folder location.  It matters not what type of file I opened, pdf, excel, word... I searched but I can't find if there is a setting where this can be disabled.  Another thought is that if this is some kind of virus.  I ran all the cleanings of my antivirus and malware, and they are.  Any input is greatly appreciated.

• iTunes will not open because windows 10 updated

  Since I updated to windows 10 I can't open iTunes. When I connect iphone to the computer iTunes doesn't open automatically as it has previously.

  First try Fix unexpectedly closes or launch issues in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support .

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Make sure after you have uninstalled all the components Apple to remove iTunes shortcuts from the desktop, taskbar, or start menu before you reinstall.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.
