How are GWX.exe successful removal, but still a few occurrences of the file on the disk - they protected?

Being anoyed by the GWX-icon - and related unacceptable usage of my disk space and bandwidth (it has already reached 5GB of Win10 - junk and my SSD was almost full) - I tried to remove my system Win7 GWX. First I found 5 occurrences of the GWX.exe file (and some other files on) on my drive, after application of the GWX Panel I had up to 2 and the app is no longer active (and 5 GB of space free!). The use of some doesn´t of Mo wrong, but it looks a lot like a security breach - I m unable to delete these files & folders from the disk, even I m not able to change the security settings for these files.

Someone at - it an idea how this weird State (super protected folders) can be removed or has been reached?

Thanks in advance!

You must take possession of these files or folders, then you give a full read/write access. It may be necessary to do with the commands in the console (takeown.exe and icacls.exe) while Windows Repair Mode.

  • Printer says error message is disconnectd, but still - it prints most of the time

    HP PSC 2175 + XP SP3 + MS Office 2003, USB connection.  Windows and Office have all installed updates.  Printer in the lower right tray ICON has a yellow triangle that says HP PSC2175 disconnected but the printer will print the "Notepad".  When I print from MS Word, I get a "this document failed to print" message but it still prints.  Sometimes the printer won't do anything unless I disabled the print queue.  I always get the message print not there even though it will be printed.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer software, but get the same behavior.  I've replaced the USB cable with no effect. I'm suspicious that the problem is with Office 2003, but I don't really know.  This behavior is fairly recent.  The printer worked fine for years without problem.  There is no hardware changes or software, I am aware of this correlation with the occurrence of this behavior.  Another detail - probably a herring - the motherboard has 5 USB ports and lists each in equipment such as hard disk manager.  It seems that this is due to the card motherboard BIOS - Windows XP no.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Interesting question here, Zekepotato.  There could be a conflict between the drivers and software (MS Word), or it could just be something that does not work with the drivers.  To begin we will do a complete uninstall and reinstall the PostScript to the printer to download driver from the HP website. Here are my instructions:

    First of all, if you use a USB cable, be sure to remove it. Do not plug it in again until the software instructs you. Through devices and printers, programs and features and issues Device Manager and make sure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. As indicated, and then restart the computer.
  • [JS/CS6] How can I reach or remove text remains which is stuck in the XML Structure

    Sometimes, the remnants of the deleted text are found at a parent level or root of the XML structure. How can I 'find' scripts?

    Capture1.PNG

    Above, a sample image. The root should be just '<>' and there may be hundreds of items marked under the root, which should not be deleted. The only thing that needs to be removed is the text that shows inside the element root, because it is not in use anywhere.

    To fix it as I want, I can manually drag the document root, enter the editor mode (Ctrl + Y) and delete the text. I do in the editor mode to avoid the deletion of all the other child nodes of the root, which happens easily if I delete all the text in the textframe. When I delete the textframe, after you remove the top-level text which has been 'stuck' before, everything is nice.

    I'd like one to write a script that deletes the text which has got stuck in the root of the way which is shown in the picture (the root is not in the page, it should be empty in case I'm on).

    Defining the content of the xmlElement to "translates in all of the sub-elements being deleted (not what I want).

    Thank you

    Andreas

    It of not elegant, but should work. I can't think of a way to distinguish the 0xFEFFs that "contain" children of other 0xFEFFs that you may have in the history of the root, so that would leave all the ones you hang out.

    var root = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0],
        i, character;
    
    if (root.parentStory.constructor.name === 'XmlStory') {
        for (i = root.xmlContent.characters.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            character = root.xmlContent.characters[i];
            if (character.contents.charCodeAt(0) !== 65279) {
                character.remove();
            }
        }
    }

  • Is it possible in windows vista to hide the taskbar, but still be able to see the system tray?

    I want to hide the task bar, but then, I don't see the system tray. Is it possible to have the separate system tray?

    Hi arya78,

    It is possible to do the reverse of what you want - to hide some or most of the icons in the system tray bar while leaving the rest of the visible taskbar; However, you cannot hide the taskbar and let only the visible system tray icons because they are part of the task bar and the task bar should be visible so that they are visible.

    Sorry, but this is how Vista works.  If you try to get rid of the section in the taskbar, which shows open programs, it cannot simply be done without hiding the entire taskbar (including system tray icons).

    Good luck!

    I can not open a new document in works 9 says file is missing? System Restore has new date

    Hello

    System Restore puts your computer's settings to a date earlied.

    You mean that recovery of the system.

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '
