Gadgets Windows 7 is still not safe to use? (even those packaged with the original version)?

A colleague sent me the following links concerning Windows gadgets in Windows 7.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Gadgets

http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=309853

I have Windows 7 and the CPU meter that comes standard on a build of Windows 7 Enterprise.  Is still this gadget that a safety risk and I need to turn off the gadgets Windows no matter if they have been with the original or additional content downloaded version?

I thought that if even the prepackaged gadgets where a security risk can be up-to-date critical Windows Update was released to ensure that gadgets have been disabled.

GB

As far as I know no (other than the Task Manager) CPU meter comes with all versions of win 7.

How gadgets work are a risk.

  • Windows could not transfer files. An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.

    Microsoft. It's so hard to get where you want to go on the site.

    I wish they still had the cat where you enter just a few things, and for free, it instantly opens a window of instant messaging to chat with microsoft.

    Well, I have a dongle bt USB and when I right click and click send a file, it gives an error

    Windows could not transfer files. An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.

    With windows xp, I plug it and he can move 2 drivers, "microsoft bluetooth enumerator" and "generic bluetooth radio".

    in windows 7, it installs the same 2 drivers

    I pair the device from the phone and it didn't work. while I was looking for the computer and it does not even, but file transfer

    It works totally fine XP and with the same drivers! just different os versions.

    I went to Device Manager, click on set to update driver and he know that later is installed

    BTW, it's a generic radio bt, and it was $10 do9ller micro dongle.

    However, there is no brand name.

    but it works under windows xp? but not 7?

    Windows xp and windows 7 are duel boot, so it's the same material, b/c windows xp and windows 7 is on the same hardware

    If I use the VM vmware, I can transfer files

    Microsoft sucks... I mean except xp. He is old, but it's the best version of windows there, Runnin' on minimum 16 MB of ram and 400 mhz cpu... I luv xp, no more errors

    Hello

    Check if the same device works fine on another computer with Windows 7 installed. Also, try to send files from the phone to the PC and check what is happening.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    You can try the steps below and check if that helps get the Bluetooth dongle to work.

    (a) click Start and then click Run.

    (b) type regedit and then click OK.

    (c) locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {e0cbf06c-cd8b-4647-bb8a-263b43f0f974}

    (d) right click on the folder, click on delete.

    (e) exit and restart

    Now, try to find your device and send the file. It should work.

    Hope this information is useful.

    The question you should ask yourself if your system that works perfectly is critical to what you do. If so, wait after a few dozen output to see what happens before migrating.

  • Browser Web still tells me to upgrade after that I installed the latest version

    Whenever I install an update of Firefox, homepage keeps telling me to upgrade to a newer version, because he thinks that I am still using an outdated version. This happens with other sites that support is more than earlier versions, even if I'm day - they are simply not recognized.

    For example, YouTube continues to display this message at the top of the page asking me to upgrade my browser, even if it's the latest version. All this happens with sites requiring Flash Player, thinking that I use an outdated version of this, too, even if I'm not.

    How can I get the browser to recognize that I use the latest version?

    You need to reset your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox). Yours is "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;" U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; RV:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/2.0.0.14; MEGAUPLOAD 1.0 ", it has been modified by the addition of megaupload and is stuck on Firefox 2.0.0.14.

  • I'm told my iPod classic is not compatible with the latest version of iTunes and I need to buy a new iPod

    I have an iPod classic, 160GB, 2009 (I think that I bought in 2011, but they say it's a 2009 version).  I took good care of her, and it worked wonderfully for me.  Recently, with the latest updates of my OS, iTunes, etc. on my MacBook, I got the iPod synchronization problems.  This last time I tried, the iPod has not been recognized by iTunes, or it would be recognized and switch between connected and synchronization, but never go further.  Finally, if I left it long enough that, it would eventually be sync, but then he would go back and forth between sync synchronization, connected and finishing.  After leaving he did that for a while, he would finally come with an error message saying that the iPod could not be synchronized.  Then my iPod was erased at all to this subject (everything is always on my iTunes at least library).  I tried to restore my iPod, which she did, and then synchronize everything again.  He went through the process of synchronization, only to say in the end could not be synchronized.  Sometimes my iPod not even be recognized by iTunes.

    So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.  Both were up to date, so I think I 2.0.4 on my iPod and 12.3.2.35 on my iTunes.  Apple told me that I can't go back to an earlier version of the iPod software because I have no iPod backups on my iTunes.  Therefore they told me the only solution is to spend $ 400 on a new iPod, which I can't afford to do it, nor have you I feel it's a reasonable solution, since my iPod is perfectly good and I was very careful care of her.

    Is there anything that can be done to make the two compatible?  Can I download an older version of iTunes?  I'll be able to get my most recent iTunes library on the older iTunes?  Should not continue making it compatible, the iPod classic and iTunes since so many people use iPod classic, and they are the only thing like him around?

    I looked in the other forums on the topic, but nothing seems to talk about this compatibility problem and provide a solution.  Someone at - it ideas?  Can you manually manage your music on your iPod, even if the two are not "compatible"?

    Thank you!

    So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.

    Seriously...?  My 'classic' 3rd gen iPod in 2003 still works fine with the latest version of iTunes and the latest OS X.  Even the original iPod should still work (assuming the iPod itself still works).  Your iPod classic 2009 is certainly consistent.  That support the needs of the person coming back through training...

    When you connect it now, it seems in iTunes?  Are you able to select in iTunes, go to the settings screen, where you see the iPod photo and name in the upper left corner of the window and a box below that?
