Hello

I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software. The Microsoft Security Scanner is a security tool free that provides analysis on demand and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It works with your current Antivirus software. See the link to download and run the Analyzer:

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

Important: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

 

Hope this information helps. Please let us know if you need any other help with Windows in the future. We will be happy to help you.

    Hi Jaaz76


    Method 1:

    You can perform a security analysis and check if there are viruses or malware present. Check out the link below to run the scan and check if this helps-

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Method 2:

    Also I suggest you perform a SFC scan and check. To Perform a Scan SFC -

    a. click Start, click programs, on Accessoriesprincipally made, right click guestand then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    c. a message indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient, because the analysis may take some time

    d. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. Hopefully though you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

    e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    Check the link below for further guidance on scan SFC - mentioned

    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period

    Hello

    Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you with your concern for Windows!

    I see from the description of your post, that you are unable to download Microsoft Office Professional 2010.

    If you get the error message in Internet Explorer , then this might be the cause:

    For performance reasons, where Internet Explorer cannot establish a connection to a proxy server, the proxy server is added to a list of proxy servers bad so that it is not reused for a period of time. This period is 30 minutes by default. If a proxy auto-configuration script returns a PROXY list that specifies several proxy servers, a connection to the proxy in the list will be attempted. If the connection fails, the process is repeated until a connection is established, or the list is exhausted. If the list is exhausted and no connection is established, the user will receive a "Cannot display Page" error message in Internet Explorer.

    We would like to get more information about you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    1. What is the full error message?

    2 are you able to download other files without any problem?

    3. what web browser do you use to download?

  • When I connect to a server that is not responding, Firefox displays an error message. It just hangs there.

    I had two incidents recently where FireFox will simply display a blank screen. In both cases when I tried the same website in Google Chrome, Chrome displays an error message which helped me to solve the problem. Firefox just sits there without understanding. I can't find a check in FireFox options box that says: "display system error messages. How can I do this? I prefer FireFox to Chrome, but if FireFox didn't tell me what the problem is, I can't use it. This problem has cost me more than a week in a recent update of the site.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
