I agree with PA bear "you can't trust the security of ANY computer used until you've formatted the hard drive & then made a clean installation of Windows. "
But if you do not want or you cannot perform a clean install and are willing to take the risk of infecting other computers on the home network, read on:-
To determine which service pack is currently installed on your computer, follow these steps:
- Click Startand then click run.
- Copy and paste, or type the following command, and then click OK:
winver
A dialog box displays the version of Windows and the service pack that is currently installed on your computer.

How can I get the airplay icon to appear? Changing the settings of firewall does not work
Hello Drjoe378,
I understand that you do not see the AirPlay icon in iTunes on your Mac. If you have verified that your firewall is disabled or that the problem occurs regardless of the status of your firewall, there is a little more that can help return your ability to connect to AirPlay devices.
- Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV software.
- Connect your computer and other devices on the same network Wi - Fi. If you are using Ethernet, connect the two devices on the same router or hub. If you use the Wi - Fi and Ethernet, plug your device AirPlay the same router that your computer uses for Wi - Fi.
- Restart your computer, device AirPlay and network router.
- Because some Airplay devices include a power switch for AirPlay option, look for the option in the settings and make sure that the feature is enabled. Refer to the user guide of the device for more information.
All my best.

How can I get or create a windows vista recovery disc? My system restore does not work!
Attempted to purchase the HP recovery Dics... Has said that Vista is obsolete!
You can read the product key on the COA at the base / side of your system? If so go here "Microsoft Downloads wiki":
Follow the instructions to make a USB bootable stick for Vista, and then select 32-bit or 64-bit according to availability of the driver and the amount of RAM you have etc.You will need your key and you will need to activate by phone. I give full instructions doing so here 'a clean install of Windows Vista/7 wiki:The clean install above applies to a Dell system; that you do not use a Dell when I say press F2 or F12 (step 6), you'll probably need to press another button. In step 4 you will need to go to go on the site of HP opposes the Dell one. Step 11 ignore any mention of specific software Dell mentioned however the recommended software mentioned is always useful.Note for Vista I only did a Dell via this method, and it worked fine. I couldn't try all other systems because the COA is faded and product keys were unrecognizable. For Windows 7, however I did 2 HPs through this method and many valleys.You can also look on eBay for reinstallation of Vista HP DVDs, but they can be hard to find. -

The service "wuauserv" (automatic updates) does not work correctly
The service 'wuauserv' uses constantly between 88 and 95% of my CPU, slowing down my computer to the point that it is almost unusable, so I've been suspending or disabling the process 'wuauserv' every time I use my computer.
In addition, Windows Update does not, if "wuauserv" is suspended or not.
It prevents just check the latest updates and never stops to do that no matter how long wait.Well, I managed to solve the problem.
I followed the instructions on this page: http://workingscripts.blogspot.com/2008/05/windows-update-high-cpu-usage-fix.html
Immediately after that, Windows Update and the automatic updates service finally started working again. It has been almost two weeks since I fixed it and have not had a problem since.
I didn't format the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows XP for this problem - I have never done this because it does not seem necessary.
And I do not see how this relatively recent automatic updates problem never touched my other problem Installation of Internet Explorer years discussed in my other thread.

How can I get my laptop to recognize my printer wireless after the automatic update?
After the automatic update I couldn't open any program (Word, Excel, internet etc.) that I managed to resolve by restoring my laptop settings before the update. It seems to have worked until I went to use my printer. My laptop will not find my printer through devices and printers, and when I go to print a document, an error box pops up saying "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the installation of the current printer.
Your help would be appreciated gratefully.
You must view the windows update history and the KB updates that have been installed, that you believe that the cause of the condition.

How can I download service pack 1A

bought 2 varbook computers cell phones of our elementary for her grandchildren when they are home, I installed XP but I am unable to download SP - 1, the server keeps timing out.how can I download it to my computer it can install on the varbooks?
Jump SP1a and go directly to the SP2:
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=28
The link for SP1a is for quick installation, which requires an internet connection on the computer that you are using it (it looks like DirectX Web install). You can go directly to SP2 without first having the SP1 (or 1A). Copy the file to a CD or a flash drive, and then copy it from there to your target PC and run it. Then, you can download and install SP3:

How can I get foreign accents on the iPad keyboard Smart Pro?
How can I get foreign accents on the iPad keyboard Smart Pro?
First of all, make sure that you have the right setting. Keyboard keyboard-settings-material and for each software keyboard you have, make sure you select English hardware keyboard, allows you to have the dictionary for the language you want to use, but the keyboard like the physical keyboard layout.
Second, when writing, select the language that you need to write with accents and use "option + e + vowel" for this accents (a, e, i, o, u). For this same result, you can use the button next to return + vowel.
Lovely + key next to return + vowel will give you that (a, e, i, o, u)
Option + N will give you N
These are ones I've found so far and it's more than I need for Spanish, keep trying combinations that make little sense for the language you write and see what works.
