Help with Windows XP SP3 firewall off
Hello
I have XP SP3 and I have a problem with my firewall settings.
It is said that they are turned off and strategy group or another FW is running.
I checked with Avast, and they have not a firewall in it isn't my virus and as far as I know that I don't have anything else like a FW.
I've set up exceptions in my firewall Windows however, they will not work unless it is on.
I checked the services and it is said that the Windows Firewall is running.
I'm confused. Please help, I have spent days on this.
Thank you
Oz

Need help with windows defender. all my files folders pictures everythiing disappeared and I find myself with this black screen and it is not all good: o)
I don't know why vista windows no longer charge, or when the files and folders disappeared
How Windows Defender is on this problem?
Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Data recovery:
1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.
2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.
3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:
http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html
Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
Download the Vista software from the link above.
After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.
Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.
Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.
Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.
When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.
Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.
Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).
Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.
See you soon.

Tecra 9000 - error message with Windows XP SP3 home edition
Hello
I have a Tecra 9000 in very good condition, until yesterday, I have no problem!
After updating my Windows XP service pack 2 on the "service pack 3", everything works fine but when I press the button 'TOSHIBA controls' and 'mouse' for setting, Windows error message occure: "run a dll as an app"!Even if I go to "Start" and "Control Panel" and press the mouse, after setting close icon, or just simply do nothing (cancel), the same message! I did not notice any other problem with the TOSHIBA utility!
My driver for mouse is "Logitech mouse ware, 9.40! Can you help me?This oldie works well with Windows XP SP2 home edition and in my opinion you should use without SP3. Try to remove the SP3, and I hope that everything will work properly again. Problem is that the old tools and utilities designed for Toshiba probably aren't tested and updated to SP3.
I have more Satellite M70 and use sill with SP3. I don't want to risk anything and have problems.

Error 0x8024D001 when you try to use Windows Update with Windows XP SP3
I recently loaded Windows XP SP3 and get the error code and the following message when you try to update with Windows Update:
The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. Error 0x8024D001
I tried the FixIt tool as well as load the latest version of Windows Update as described here:
Tried both this:
then this:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/t1pvpp55v6aejpy/WindowsUpdateAgent7.6.7600.256-257.zip
It still does not. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks much for the reply. Seen the idea on another site to change the setting of Windows Update to automatically install updates and then I was able to force the update without problem. Not sure why it worked, but it did. -
My Dell Dimension 8250 with XP was initially equipped with Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.2.0.91 which enabled me to write on the CD drive (NEC CD - RW NR-9100). Later found out that the installation of Service Packs (2 or 3) disabled this feature. In an attempt to burn a CD will result in cancellation error during the writing process. Running MS Fixit tells me that my records are incapable of burning. I tried to uninstall Roxio Easy CD Creator via the Control Panel Add/Remove Harware/software and then reinstalled Easy CD Creator. Upon restart, this caused re-installing my computer immediately close with a blue screen message that the problem was caused by the fault of the file Cdr4_xp.sys (Driver_unloaded_without_cancelling_pending_operations). Then, I restored to a previous/y configuration work and uninstalled the Easy CD Creator. I can still read CD, simply, I can't burn. My question is, what can be done to restore this ability of burning CD or what kind of options are available for me to find this feature?
Note: Reading other forums (Roxio and others), I find that Roxio Easy CD Creator does not work with Windows XP. The upgrade to another operating system is not an option that I need XP for other devices that are not compatible with Vista and a later version of the Windows operating system.
I hope that you may be able to help.
Sorry, I wanted to write in my notation at the end, was that Service Pack 1 of Windows XP works with Roxio Easy CD creator that came with the machine. However, after later SP, writing ability fails. That is what I had read in the forums, and what seems to me be a.
This isn't a correct information. At least, Roxio Easy CD Creator v. 5.3.2.35a works fine on my XP Pro sp3 machine.
Of course, this information didn't you all good... and at this point, after running a FixIt, uninstall, reinstall, do a system restore, and everything you have done, I have particularly good advice to get the CD Creator to work for you.
If you want to try something (with a small chance to make matters worse - assuming that you can now get the CD player to burn using integrated Windows - see the article cited by Shenan Stanley), here you go...
Download Easy CD Creater 5.3.5: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cd_dvd/burning/easy_cd_creator_plt_upgrade.cfm this download, however, is an upgrade, and I don't know if it will install after uninstalling the version 5.2.0. Assuming that you can not install this update in your current...
What you could try - and no guarantees here - is to download the trial version of Revo Uninstaller Pro and run it in progressively more aggressive modes, until you get to the mode "forced uninstall" to ensure that all traces of your previous installation of Roxio is gone.
After you have uninstalled all traces of the Roxio program, run system restore to create a restore (just in case) and then open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK), right click on your CD drive and select uninstall. Restart Windows should detect the CD drive and install the default Windows drivers.
Then, reinstall your current install media Roxio and finally install the 5.3 update.
As an alternative to the last step - especially if you're hesitant to download software from the site of AfterDawn (I don't know anything on them, one way or the other), you can buy a full version (but open box) of Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum for around $11 or 6 Platinum for $7

HP Deskjet 3051 a J611: help with Windows 10 drivers? Incompatibility problem?
Hello, I had to get help with a problem with my printer HP Deskjet 3051 a J611.
I was always able to properly scan using my printer until I installed the update for Windows 10.
I use a Sony VAIO computer Fit portable (may 2013 model) originally shipped with Windows installed Pro 8.1.
After I installed Windows 10 and I tried to use my scanner two weeks later (it prints very well), I can't seem to use the same program I was using before 10 Windows to use my scanner. I tried to use printing HP and doctor Scan to fix my problem, and he told me that my printer had an unknown driver error that it could not solve. I also tried to reset my laptop (and power cycling the printer) and to uninstall and reinstall the driver for my printer.
One thing to note: I use my printer using the wireless and wired (via USB), Wi - Fi for the scanner and the printer.
I usually use the printer function when I want things quickly, using an app on my Android phone, or otherwise, using my laptop (wireless, of course). But when it comes to use the scanner, I find it works much more quickly to use it via USB on my laptop via the Wi - Fi.
Thank you for your help (for that).
Sincerely,

Need help with Windows 7 drivers for Radeon HD 7670 m on a preinstalled Windows Pavilion g6-2300sy 8
Hey, I recently bought a HP Pavilion g6-2300sy with Windows preinstalled 8 and decided to install Windows 7 on it instead, as I'm rates more familiar with it. Now I seem to be running into issues with the Radeon HD 7670 m laptop graphics card, since I can't find a driver that works for her. I tried several generic drivers AMD HD 7000 series, but none of them is not working - Windows continues to give the error code 43.
How can I fix without going back to Windows 8? Any help would be really appreciated.
Hello:
For the g6-2300sy, use the W7 x 64 drivers and software for this model:
For the graphics, you install only the AMD graphics driver. Do NOT install the Intel driver. The AMD driver has the graphics for two video cards.
DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK FILES

need help with windows update C8000F1A error code
I need help with an error code that is given to my PC when I try to put up-to-date
Hello
1. don't you make recent changes?
2. This does happen with any special updates or all updates?
I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:
Method 1:
If you have installed a security software on the computer, then I suggest you try to disable temporary and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable security software back once the diagnosis is made to prevent the computer from virus attacks.

Need help with Windows Live Mail password
Microsoft support told me that the only way to get help with my last password is by e-mail or forums and I recorded many positions and got no response. I gave them all of my personal info to my email account and no response. I called in and no response. Should I give up on this account? I got it for more than three years and many court and legal emails were sent there I need. Please notify.
I guess that you have a Live account Windows that you do not manage to connect to for various reasons. Can clarify you what the case, and you can specify that you forgot your password or your user name?
If you talk about this type of Forums (below) then they are very busy, but eventually you should get a response from Microsoft. If the problem is that I'm guessing that this is so only Microsoft can fix the problem for you, posters not Microsoft, as we find in this Forum won't be able to do much for you other than to advice on a course of action to follow.

The process is a lot easier if you have (in the setup) provided them with another email address, or installed (and remember) secret an answer to the Question.
Unfortunately, the whole process may fail and you may forever lose this account. If that were the case, you should start now to try to get duplicates of important emails from the original sender.

HP Laserjet Pro M125a: LaserJet M125a is not printing with Windows XP SP3
Hello world.

IE is integrated into Windows and is owned by Windows updates.

Need help with Windows 7 key.
I have a laptop that I had to change the HARD drive due to a complete failure. I had a Windows 7 key I know has been good and have never used, purchased as part of a package of pc 3. Now the installation tells me that this is not a valid key. I paid almost $150.00 for this set of 3 installs for Windows 7, about 5 years ago.
The old HDD is dead, I tried to connect with a USB key and nothing. The laptop was working fine with WIndows 10, then the portable HARD drive is simply dead. I need help with a new key, or at least the one I have to work. The new drive HARD won't have not all partitions or any attached former windows key. I can't get past the check of Windows screen.
Need help please.
You must use the product key located on the COA sticker (at the bottom of the laptop, sometimes inside the battery cover or access. Once you have located the product key, and then follow the instructions below to change the key of the key from the factory to the key on the sticker.
