    If you follow the manual steps to start the computer in a clean boot state, remember to start the computer in normal mode after you have completed troubleshooting.

    Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7, mentioned in the article to start the computer to a normal startup.

Then I open Dreamweaver and proceeded to install my new navigation bar on my Web site. Once I downloaded and then went to my site on Foxfire, google chrome, my mobile and they all kept saying to them that I need a new version of Adobe flash to use. I have repeatly insalled the player he said I needed but he continually did not work. Need help

    Just a guess - why do you use "12.0.0.0" version? Try to 11.3.0.0

    I'm trying to connect a new Iphone to itunes to phone, he told me an I need a newer version of itunes... I later?

    What version of iTunes and Windows you have?  An iPhone IS requires at least iTunes 12.3, which in turn requires at least Windows 7.  Refer to turingtest2 for Windows guide excellent iTunes:

  • Error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer.

    Original title: trying to download

    WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.

    Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

    It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

    Thanks a lot for any assistance.

    Hello

    ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

    If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

    You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

  • Original title: A new version of windows will work with my Windows XP?

    Original title: A new version of windows will work with my Windows XP?

    My computer needs a new startup disk, as I lost the original. Is it possible to buy a new one with Windows 7 or XP?

    Why do you think that your computer needs a new boot disk?

    It would be surprising to find a genuine Windows XP CD in the retail market (a store) these days, but you can make Internet purchases and may not be no need to buy one at all because it's nice to make just a copy of one from a friend.

    It is a good idea to have a couple of different bootable CD in your arsenal in case your XP problems a day and do not start.

    I find that most people can get by with a bootable XP Recovery Console CD you can do (no XP media required) and a Hiren boot CD.

    I've never seen a XP problem that I can't solve if I at least so many of those - and they are free to do, and you don't need any Microsoft original media to create.
