Free AV and Friewall for Windows 98
I tried many AV programs: AVG, Avast, ClamWin? Neither does support Windows 98 for free download.
It is correct. Frankly, a Windows 98 / ME computer should not be on the Internet at all. If you can not buy a new computer running Vista or Windows 7 (next week), consider having someone put Linux on this computer for you. There are a lot of free Linux distributions and you will be relatively safe - you will never be using Windows 98. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Original title: Windows XP - free race - is lost.
Just re - load windows XP after a crash with original rescue discs, svchost.exe is free running and leaves several Windows Open gel, all on and offline. Any ideas? I ran ms-fixit beta for all listed. I also disabled Norton and now use Windows Defender, still no luck.
Hi MarkBerri,
· How long have you been faced with this problem?
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
Svchost.exe is a process name generic host for services that run from dynamic link (dll) libraries. The Svchost.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the registry services part in order to build a list of services that it needs to load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services. Therefore, separate services can run, depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This grouping of services enabling better control and easier debugging.
Svchost.exe groups are identified in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Svchost
You can run the auditor of system files on the computer.

I'm looking for a manual form PDF for Windows Vista and one for Windows 7 ULT.
Hi Tech, representatives and mods,
I'm looking for a file PDF instruction manual for Windows Vista and one for Windows 7 ULT.
I am trying to solve some problems on the PC of my mother for him and she not Vista operating instructions supplied with the installation of the plant on his Dell Inspiron 531.
Also, because of irreparable corrupt software problems, Microsoft technicians have ordered me a Windows 7 installation disc that came in the mail, but there is no manual and I would like to know the procedures of installation and the new UI so I install it.
Anyone know where I can download manuals of instructions PDF for Vista or Windows 7? ... can't find on the Microsoft Web site, but maybe I can't find them.
Thanks for any help,
NuMetro
Hi Aziz,.
I appreciate of course send you these links to the instructions for the installation of 7 and Vista... I will use them when trying to fix computer Vista my mother sick.
But it turns out there are some out there in free download e-book/PDF manuals, and one for Windows 7 is quite comprehensive, edited by a guy named Rich Robinson on http://mintywhite.com/books/ ... See the response, copied below, I got "JacK MVP" when he replied to my post on the Windows 7 forum...

Look at this page, http://mintywhite.com/books/
You need to register, but it's good and free courtesy of Microsoft MVP._________________________________________________________________It's a little complicated to register on this site... I click on a link to a book, then on the page following, I get my email address, then I get an email confirming my registration, by which I can get an e-mail newsletter every day with a new password to download e-books. If the newsletter has already been sent to this day there, I click a 2nd link in this email in order to receive another email with the password... then by clicking a link in the 2nd e-mail, I get to the page where I did enter the password... so I can download e-books... as easy as 1-2-3... 4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11...
TIP: the password appears to be the same thing every day, or was yesterday and today it's 'mintywhiteBooks '... How sneaky.
For a minute there, I thought that this site was a kind of lure because on the page "to subscribe/instructions", where I get my e-mail, there are 2 jpeg images that resemble password fields and links, but they are not... I'm not sure of what those who are for.This mintywhite.com seems to be quite the site for amateurs and Windows technicians.Thank youEnjoy,NuMetro -

I tried to go to windows update but redirected to micrsoft support page, which offers no SP2 and SP3 for windows XP Pro, and yet I don't have a network of computers running windows XP Pro download the SPs would be a disater as it is intended for more than one PC.
It does not give the notice to go to the windows update page, but I can't get there because I do not have windows XP SP 3 installed on my pc, and even if I have it on a disc I couldn't install it anyway because SP 2 is not installed on this pc.
So this pc seems to be thrown into a sort of limbo XP, does anyone know a way I can get these much needed without breaking service packs?
The download versions below can be installed on a single computer.

Windows Fax and Scan for Windows Vista does not appear under all programs
Windows Fax and Scan for Windows Vista does not appear on my computer under all programs - where he might or he is still in charge?
If you have Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium, they do not come with Fax software included.
You will need software 3rd party Fax:

Snappy Fax 2000 allows you to send and receive faxes from your computer. You can use your scanner to scan documents and then sent a fax to any fax machine, or use the print command other applications to use the virtual fax printer, allowing you to send faxes directly from most Windows applications. In addition, the program also supports faxes sending via the internet, filtering of unwanted faxes and transfer incoming faxes to other fax or e-mail addresses. Additional features include import address book, faxes by email (with zip for images support), OCR, spell checking and much more.

I'll have to trun my computer on and off for window at startup and then it stops a lot
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.

Win 7: still can't find "Fax and Scan for Windows.
I tried and tried to locate the utility Win 7 embedded 'Fax and Scan for Windows' using the links given to me by your Anshul Arora a few days ago... and still does not activate/download... whatever, this utility application.
For example:
1. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/products/features/windows-fax-and-scan does not help.
2 ""scan a doc or a picture with Win Fax and Scan " page says " click on the Start button, click on "all programs, then click on Windows and digitization." "" I don't see an "Windows Fax and Scan" when I do that.
3. I haven't installed scanning programs and had Win 7 look for a Setup program; can't.
Offhand, I would say that my version of Win 7 doesn't have this built-in utility!
I don't want to use the installation of Canon. I used Windows Fax and Scan "" hundreds of times and I like it better.
Help!
