It's a scam. Microsoft will never contact you unless you tell them (even in this case, it is unlikely).

  • Given to NINE DELL D620 from Ebay - experience Windows = 0.9 (CPU)! Can it be remedied with parameters of WIN7? I don't have to run the Performance tool to realize the computer was slow. Thank you

    WIN7 settings can improve performance?   Other forums?

    Nothing you can do about it.  You must be very techie trying to change a processor, it is still possible.

    It is possible that some driver or setting is in Windows that causes this problem, but I don't know of one.

    During the examination of a computer, always look for the first processor.  Benchmark CPU Google then just the designation of the cpu.

    Your is T7400 and has a score of 1260 reference.   It is indeed very low.  Pentium 4 has about 800.  Most of the score today 7500 at least 2500 and many CPUS.

  • Don't have appropriate permissions to uninstall the extension? (Guide)

    I get this message:

    "you don't have appropriate permissions to perform this operation adobe site: forums.adobe.com.

    When I try to uninstall the extensions Manager GuideGuide extension.


    The extension stopped working after that, recently, they have released a new update, so I went to day, only to be told that I need to remove the old in order to install a new one. Okay, all right. Then I go to remove it, and I get the above error. I certainly do not have the permissions! I am the administrator! Why don't the extensions manager who knows?

    So, what should I do? Is there a way to manually remove the extension? Currently, I'm re - install the extensions Manager in the hope that it works.

    For others with a similar problem, they did turn windows and just need to "run as Administrator", but for me, being on a mac... It seems that this is a rare problem.

    Thanks Adobe Community!

    I am running CS5 (or 5.1?)

    One thing you should know: you are administrator doesn't mean you run applications automatically have administrator privileges, regardless of the Windows or Mac. You must explicitly specify the OS (Windows or Mac) to run applications as an administrator. on Mac, the sudo command must be used.

    1. run "/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app.

    2. Enter the following commnad, then press 'return '.

    sudo "/ Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS5/Adobe Extension Manager CS5.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Extension Manager CS5»

    3. Enter your administrator password, and then press the 'return '.

    BTW, characteristic of escalation of privilege introduced in CS5.5. So in CS5.5 and later versions, you don't have to run 'EM in this way.

    Hello

    I would ask you to contact the manufacturer of the computer for the installation of Windows XP CD and run the sfc scan to check if any system files are corrupt and can be replaced.

    Method 1.
    Let us first start the sfc scan and check if there are any file system corruption.
    a. to do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
    b. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
     
    More information on SFC scan found in this document:
    Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

    Method 2.
    If the problem persists, then create a new user profile and then copy your current users assigning to this profile. For more information, see:
    How to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP

  • I have Microsoft s Essentials, in the past, I've always had a prog to Add anti-virus ' l. run also, for example, Norton, etc. Can I still use the prog to Add anti-virus ' l.?

    I bought Trend Micro Pro 3.0 (old version) & installed the ver.1st of the trial. I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2 and IE 9. The prog. would not respond. I thought that it might have been a conflict w/Microsoft Security Essentials (which was never a prob. in the past), although I have deleted the virus Microsoft prog. Trend Micro has always failed. I think now that it was (not) compatible with IE 9. I've got uninstallled prog of Trend Micro Pro 3.0. and have re-installed the program Microsoft Security Essentials. I have a Playstation 3 & an Android phone, I still have to connect to my PC. I want to download anti-virus Norton 360 or Norton Internet Security, or a more recent version of Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus Program (for peace of mind). I want to still keep the program Microsoft Security Essentials, I was feeling pretty yucky before deletion because in the past, that I don't have problems like this, as when I had Norton Internet Security. It also applies when I had a trial version of Avast Antivirus running with Microsoft Security Essentials, with no problems (I cared not for Avast, that's just my personal preference). My hands & arms are bad, I think I can have on a explained all of this, I hope not. Thank you for your patience.           Thanks for any help (tips), you are able to provide.   dceb2

    It is not a good idea to run more than one antivirus real-time program together. The potential is there for the conflicts and it slows down your system.
    To avoid these problems, use only one anti-virus solution. It is your choice to decide which one to use.

    How to upgrade my operating system to Yosemite on a MacBook Air running Lion 10.7.5? I don't have 2 GB of free memory.

    Assuming that you previously purchased on the app store and your Mac meets the minimum requirements, unload you enough data on an external drive to free the necessary disk space and update via the app store. If you buy before it and it is not in your shopping list, you do not have.

  • I have an iMac 2007 running osx 10.6, I would upgrade to the Mavericks.  I don't have an installation CD, how to accomplish this?

    I have an iMac 2007 mid running osx 10.6 with 4 GB of Ram. I want to upgrade to the Mavericks, 10.9. I don't have the installation CD and the App store only allow me to upgrade El Capitan. I'm afraid that this will bring my iMac to a crawl. Any thoughts on how I can find an installation CD or recommend other methods to achieve this?

    Thank you

    Larry

    Your model is eligible? You can install El Capitan now. There is no disk installer for use with OS X since the release of Snow Leopard. Why do you believe that El Capitan will bring your computer to a crawl, but the Mavericks will not?

    If I were you I would stick with Snow Leopard, because it is more suitable for your old hardware. Note that Snow Leopard is needed in order to upgrade to Lion or later version.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard

    You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.

    After the installation of Snow Leopard you will need to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update v1.1 update Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store lets you download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.

         General requirements for Snow Leopard

    1. equipped mac to an Intel processor

    2. the 1 GB memory

    3. 5 GB of available disk space

    4. DVD drive for installation

    5. some features require a compatible Internet service provider;

    charges may apply.

    6. some features require Apple iCloud services; fees and

    conditions apply.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

        Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

    1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

    2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

    3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

    5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

    To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.
