How can I find what works under XP
I have something running in the background that interferes with the operation. How can I find it?
Chicken and eggs come to mind! If you don't know how to determine what processes are running, how you know something "in the background" is disruptive?
Option 1: The Task Manager
Or ctrl-alt-del or
- Click Start
- Click on run
- Type taskmgr and press enter
Option 2: Process Explorer

How can I find what firewall is running on my computer?
Original title: find firewallsHow can I find what firewall is running on my computer? I have used norton, mcafree, avg in the past. All have been removed through programs removal program. I turned off my windows firewall and Security Center says I still have firewalls. I can't access itunes store or download programs (such as the overdrive media). I don't have a router, but have tried that disconnect and connect the computer directly to the modem. Still have the problem.
Security applications - especially those of McAfee and Norton - cannot be completely removed using the control panel > Add / Remove programs.
For McAfee, see http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?lc=1033&id=TS100507 which explains how to use the McAfee Consumer Products Removal (that you can get the link in this article).
For AVG, see http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities
If for some reason you want to reinstall everything before (that I do not recommend), don't forget to make a record of your license key before uninstalling. The links above should explain how to do this.
Some motherboards with nVidia chipsets include a hardware firewall (nVidia ActiveArmor). I'm not positive on how to determine if you have this or not, but I suggest starting with a glance at the "network adapter" section of the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK).
PS: even if you're experienced, do not use your router. It provides a layer of protection between you and the Internet, if you connect with all firewalls disabled.

I continue to meet a pop box - up with the notification that "work may not run because of invalid destination" I have not any idea of what job does not or why they attempt to run anyway - I do not remember to initiate a process or downloads. How can I determine what the computer trying to run I can hoefully solve the problem?
If it's something real windows then it should appear in the event log. Click Start, and then type in the event log. Begin if and look under system or application right after that the error or write at once. Once you have the found event poster here. He should tell us what ID applications.

Hey Ethan,
You have provided little information for someone to help you.
If you downloaded Premiere Pro (since this is the Premiere Pro forum) you can find it in the computer in the following manner:
Windows:
1. search in Start Windows search
2. find in all programs
3. go in C:\Program Files\Adobe
Mac:
1. go in Applications > Adobe Premiere Pro
2 search in Spotlight search
I hope this helps...

How can I get Flash working under 'Standard user' (IE9, Windows 7 x 64)?
I have a very irritating problem that I can't find someone to help me with.
In Internet Explorer 8 (and now IE9), I can see fine videos flash (Youtube, Hulu, etc.). However, when it comes to flash video to youtube integrated on various Web sites, all I get is white box where the video would be. However, if I connect via my account to administrator user on Windows 7 and launch IE, the embedded video plays very well. This problem is present in both browsers the 32-bit and 64-bit.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to make it work with my standard user account. I don't want to go back to my administrator account for security reasons. Let me tell you what I've done so far:
(1) uninstalled all Flashplayers using the uninstall tool as mentioned in other articles.
(2) reinstalled by using the option 'run as administrator '.
(3) using a slightly older version of Adobe Flash, to rule out the possibility of problems with their latest version.
(4) Ran System File Checker utility
I'm ideas... Please help.
Thank you very much!!
Under global settings (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l), check «allow Flash 3 rd-party content...» ».

NB100: How can I get ACPI working under XP
Hello world
I wonder how I can get ACPI working under XP.
When I enable it in the BIOS, Windows will not start... Should I load the drivers during the installation of Windows XP? That would lead me to my next problem, because the command line switch - one for the extraction of the driver does not work... Does not extract the files either.Or y at - there a way to add ACPI to my XP install is already running (the BIOS ACPI option is currently set to "compatibility"?
Thanks in advance!
As far as I know before enabling ACPI in the BIOS, you must remove the standard PC driver in Device Manager and install the ACPI driver.
Then go into the BIOS, turn it on and should start Windows.In the Microsoft Knowledge Base, I found an article on the ACPI Compatibility:

How can I find what licenses are assigned to a computer?
I have an account with several licenses in an office. I can't find a way to know which computer is using this license. Is it possible to access it through my account while logged in? If this is not the case, can I access it somehow by being physically to each computer?
Since the fair administration Console you have assigned seats, according to me, who will provide you with the information on the machine of the assigned.
