How do I unblock a program?

I have accidentally block a 'game' on my laptop called IMVU. I can't understand how to unlock, because now it won't let me connect to it. How do I unlock? Thank you.

Hi Sammiixx3,

Welcome to Microsoft answers forums!

a. how exactly did block the game?

(b) is blocked at the start of the game?

c. do you receive specific messages when you start the game?

d. What firewall program do you use?

You can use firewall settings to block a program. Therefore, check if the game is blocked by windows defender or any third-party firewall program.

Method 1: Run the blocked program or the blocked service

After Windows Vista starts, you can run programs blocked or blocked services by following these steps:

1. click on the blocked startup programs in the notification area icon.

2. tap on the blocked programand then click the program or service in the list that you want to start. Collapse this includes this image

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

Method 2: Disable the blocked program or the blocked service

To disable a program or a service during the Windows Vista startup process, follow these steps:

1. click on the blocked startup programs in the notification area icon.

2. click on show or remove blocked startup programs. This starts Software Explorer in Windows Defender.

3. Locate and then click to select the startup program or the boot service that is in Software Explorer.

4. click on disable, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

Error message when you start a Windows Vista-based computer: "Windows has blocked some startup programs".

    I acciedently blocked sims3 when he solicited permission to update? I think and then I pressed the block. How to unlock? Help, please.

    It depends on what program he blocked.  If you just answered to a guest of VistaUAC with a 'Cancel' and then sims3will not be blocked, because UAC does not have a 'memory', so you can just run sims3, once again.  If your Firewall blocked then it probably has a learning mode and will continue the block until turn you the tide in the firewall settings by adding it to "Exclusions".  However, the exact method to remove the "block" depends on which firewall you have.  If it has been blocked by Windows Defender then instructions on how to run again is in this Microsoft KnowledgeBase Article:

  • Unblock a program

    I clicked 'block this program' when Spotify has attempted to connect to the internet and it has now stopped working Spotify. How do I unblock a program?  Thank you!

    Hi, Agathe,.

    Assuming that it is blocked by Windows Firewall, go to control panel / Security Center or Action Center / Windows Firewall / Exceptions.  You will probably find Spotify here but not controlled.  Check it out to allow the exception (avoid Notepad) and save the changes and leave the firewall.  If she is not there, add it as an exception and it is checked and save the changes and exit the firewall.  Reset.  If this is how you blocked, it should work now.

    You cannot use MSE to do this, so MSE is not the answer to this problem.

    If you have a different security program or another firewall, then the block could come to them if that is how you did (assuming that you are unsure that you used to do) and you need to contact technical support for these programs know how to cancel it as it varies widely in the product.  But the process I described above is probably similar to how others would work (if you just want to check it out for yourself first), if you probably start by opening this program and then how to get to controls the changes would vary too much to help further.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Anything installed by a simple "drag and drop" can be uninstalled the same way.

    So I'll try this installation sequence:

    -Chipset utility

    I hope that the FN keys will work after this installation sequence.

  • How to make a LabVIEW program auto adjust the resolution of the window

    How to make a LabVIEW program that I wrote auto adapt to any size window.

    You have a few options in fact.

    Right click on the VI icon on front panel (top-right). Then select Properties VI---> window size.

    You can check 2 boxes it: 1 maintain proportions of window for monitor resolutions 2. scale all objects on the Panel before the window resizes.

    I think 1 is the one you want.

    If you are not satisfied by the results, do what I usually do. Create a different front for different resolutions by changing the resolution of your development computer. Detects on the resolution of the computer code target of your executable file, and then open the Panel before which best fits. If a PC has none of the resolutions you display a message that prompts the user to change the resolution, before it run your executable file.

    I hope this helps. I know it is one headache but what else can you do.

  • I don't have the money to buy more ram, how to remove programs to get more memory and how do I know which programs remove

    I need of more memory, I can't afford to buy it, how to remove stuff to create more memory and how do I know what programs are ok to remove

    I think you're confusing terms and certainly confuse us.

    RAM/memory (they are identical) is the memory on the computer that is used by programs running as a temporary store for data.  How to reduce the amount of memory used is to close unnecessary programs or does not work as much.  for example close the browser and your e-mail so that the execution of Word program.  You do not need to uninstall programs, run just not, to save memory.

    IF you talk about not having enough disk space to store your programs and data, then the way to increase the free space on the disc IS to uninstall unnecessary programs - only you can decide what programs you don't need.  One way to increase disk space is to make sure you have emptied your Recycle Bin to delete the old data files, you don't want to, and uninstall programs.

    You need to tell us exactly what error messages you get so that we can determine what your problem is.
