How to stop Windows Installer try to 'configure' FAXES whenever I turn on my computer
I have Windows Home XP and Internet Explorer 8
Opening my computer when messages read: -.
(A) Windows Installer - prepare then to install-
(B) Please wait while Windows configures FAX - then
(C) the component you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM Insert Fax Disc etc - then
(D) error 1706 no Source validates.
I do not have Fax listed in my programs and have no use for this installation.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hello Tarasinha2,
You can have a facility pending that hangs. Check the following in the Windows registry to see if there are waiting for the installation/s:
WARNING: Change the REGISTRY settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
a. the empty registry key "InProgress".
and clean all the entries that you find.
b. empty/rename "PendingFileRenameOperations" registry key:
Check the following registry key: HKey_Local_MachineSystem\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations
and clean all the entries that you find.
Then restart and check if you can re-enable Windows Fax.
Thank you

Hello
My computer was freezing whenever I turned it on in normal mode. It is also frozen when I turned it on in SafeMode with network. After that, he would not be able to start up. At one point, I was able to boot into safe mode and do a system recovery to an earlier point in time that I tried it and it worked. I am now able to boot into normal mode. But whenever I start my computer, I get this error message:
"C:\Windows\System32\winrnr.dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error...". »
I want to assure you that I can solve this problem. Can you help me? Is this a Vista problem? This would resolve if I installed Windows 7. I was already thinking to do this...
Thank you!

How to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted win7 upgrade to win 10
Can someone tell me how to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted Win 7 upgrade to win 10.
Currently, I have 50 + 'important' updates pending and 3 updates "optional" (which one is ranked 10 Windows), but even with 10 Windows Update is not selected and the value "hide this update" the only option shown in Windows Update is upgrading to Windows 10.
Any attempt to install ONE of the other Win 7 or MS Office updates translates into Windows Update, saying that it is downloading Windows 10.
I would like to install updates Windows 7 (and MS Office), but given the way that Microsoft has put on several occasions customers for a forced update to win 10, I'd really rather not count on leave install Win 10 and just hope that the 'Roll Back' option really works without leaving me right where I am now.

Windows Defender is disabled whenever I turn on my computer. setting has been activated automatically, but a message "windows defender is disabled" keep appearing one whenever I click on it. Help, please. Thank you!
If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.
If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
Start bittun > in the search box, type services > press ENTER > uac prompt > scroll down and look for Windows Defender...
under the State ; It must be said Started
under Startup type : must say automatic
If this isn't the case, right click on Windows Defender > properties >
under the change of automatic startup type to
under service status to start editing
Click OK.t-4-2
