How can I delete windows firewall settings

I think I discovered why IE 8 is not letting the search engines work and only the address bar and work favorites. Firewall blocking the search engines. How should I do?

Hello

Do you receive error messages related to the firewall when you try to access the Web sites?

Temporarily disable the firewall and see if it makes a difference.

    Then click on disk cleanup... After you run it of scan, click FILE SYSTEM to the bottom of the window.

  • How can I change Windows Update settings?

    I want to change my Windows Update settings, but it is grayed out.  On the top it says "SOME SETTINGS ARE MANAGED BY YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR", but I am the administrator.  It comes to my own personal computer.  I ran my anti virus and spyware and my computer seems to be clean.  I tried disabling my firewall and it does not help.

    Any other suggestions?

    And the Windows operating system is?

    For Windows XP (nothing for Vista or Win7 at this stage).

    1 check for the 'Automatic update' service manager
    Click Start, select run, and type: Services.msc
    Press enter
    Locate the - "automatic update".
    Make sure that the service is not disabled and started.

    2. If the service is disabled and cannot be started:

    Go to START, select RUN
    Type: regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
    Press Ok

  • How can I stop windows firewall to close my UDP ports after 65 seconds

    I have a camera on my Ethernet network and he and my PC have static IP addresses.

    When my camera sends out frequent packets over UDP is good, but when there is a delay in packets more then 65 seconds the Windows Firewall blocks all packets after the deadline. I turn off the firewall and everything works fine but when I turn it on everything works until a gap longer then 65 seconds occurs. I was able to work around this problem by having the device sends a packet every 30 seconds, but it's causing issues with my data. Also, the problem goes away when I disable the firewall, but I can't do in other words most of the cases.

  • How can I delete windows.old folder without losing the hibernation file.

    Mr President.

    I recently refreshed my system and a unwanted windows .old file has been generated and it consumes 11 GB of my disk space. So Iwould like to delete this file but the HP support assistant gave me a warning that I should not remove hibernation and sleep file, otherwise I would lose this facility of my system. Thanks for mentioning the steps I have to do to remove the same.

    Yours faithfully,

    R_rk06

    Hello

    Folder Windows.Old has nothing to do with the Hibernate. If uou wishes, you can remove it using cleaning system, not normal to delete, to explore. The following steps see the way in which:

    1. Open Disk Cleanup by clicking on the button start . In the search box, type and then disk cleanup in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.

      If you are prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

    2. In the dialog box disk cleanup, on the Disk Cleanup tab, click on clean up system files.

      If you are again prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

    3. Select the check box Previous Windows installations and the other check boxes for files that you want to remove, and then click OK.

    4. In the message that appears, click on delete files.

    Hello

    Can someone tell me what my problem is? When I try to enter my WF in the Panel, he won t let me do that. A message just because of an unidentified problem, windows cannot display only my windows firewall settings.

    Because of the informative posting, I would say you should ask Microsoft why you aren't able to open the firewall settings.

    If you're ready for a serious debate please let us know which mode of laptop you have, which OS is preinstalled it and which antivir application you use.

    How can I delete my documents and get rid of my thinkpad with windows 95?

    If there is anything physically wrong with your computer, you can use Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN aka) to make a scrub of the security of your HARD drive. Glance to download here.

    This will leave Nothing on the HARD drive. You can take the time to reinstall an operating system, but at the very least, the new operating system should be Win 98SE or higher.

    HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.

    Hi Winston/Hewlit,

    Thank you both for your advice.
    While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).
    After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.
    Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.
    Thanks again for your help,
    M
  • How can I reinstall windows 7that I deleted by mistake

    How can I reinstall windows 7 I have somehow deleted by mistake

    Method may vary according to the resources you have.

    1. For some, you press a certain key combination at an appropriate place in the boot process. The machine will use the files in a hidden partition on the hard drive to get us back to the State as delivered. Of couse, this deoes does not work if the machine has no such partition partition either because he has never done or has been deleted or damaged some time after the initial installation. Check the computer manufacturer web site or documents accompanying the machine to determine if this applies to your machine and, if so, the keys used.
    2. For others, locate you and use a disk or a set of disks that came with the computer. You will place the DVD in the boot from the DVD drive and follow the prompts on the screen to install the OS and, possibly, the applications and utilities provided by the manufacturer.
    3. For others still, find you the retail DVD and reinstall, as it has done before.
    4. And still others, you must use a value recovery disk you did once the computer has been configured with a program/utility provided by the manufacturer of the computer or you got to a 3rd party or one provided by Windows 7.
    5. And, in certain circumstances, depending on how the system has been removed, a recovery can be performed using a partition recovery utility is included in Acronis Disk Director (not free).

    After that, you need to maybe reinstall applications and backups user files or install media or re-downloads/downloads.

  • Default folders: How can I change my default settings so that Windows Explorer, downloads, etc., all open to the folder I chose instead of "libraries.

    How can I change my default settings so that Windows Explorer, downloads, etc., all open to the folder I chose instead of "libraries.

    Here is an article on how to change this folder opens when you click on an icon in Windows Explorer:http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-windows-explorer-icon-to-open-a-diffierent-folder-in-windows-xp-and-vista.html.  I think this will do the trick. Otherwise, maybe the following can help (but I think that's the answer you're looking for).

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.  Keep in mind that it works, just a generic and holistic - it will not work for individual folders by folder.  That cannot be done in Vista.  But you can create shortcuts to the folders that you want and add to the desktop or right-click

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free programhttp://autosizer.en.softonic.com/to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

    Good luck!
