• is it possible to run both systems, such as windows xp & windows 8 on a pc

  is it possible to run both systems, such as windows xp and windows 8 on a pc at the same time

  Hi Susan,.

  Actually run two at the same time?  N ° having two installed so that you can choose which you want to run?  Yes (as long as your computer can accommodate two operating systems and has appropriate and such pilots and you will understand the compatibility requirements and other rules for software application).

  How to do this depends on which two average you and your hardware (you could partition the disk to dual-boot, use readers separate for dual boot or create a similar to a dual-boot configuration, if the two you choose cannot work together in a normal dual-boot or use a Virtual Machine installed on an operating system to install and run the other OS and so on).  Certain combinations will be much easier than others.

  So the answer is it is theoretically possible to have two (or three or more) installed, but not running at the same time - but I guess it could be argued that a Virtual Machine means in fact the two BONES are technically running - but that's just the way it seems to me since you can use only one at a time) , but may not work in your specific situation depending on your computer hardware and bios, the software you use, which specifies the operating systems you want to be able to access separately and so on.  To do this, we need information much more to offer help.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Run dll error loading C:\WINDOWS\WUIRDOD.dll

  Error loading C:\WINDOWS\WUIRDOD.dll - this error message at start up.  How can I install?

  It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.

  I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.

  These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.

  Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.

  There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.  If you do not have a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, the chances are good that your system is currently or has been infected by malware.
  A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
  It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
  Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
  So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

  You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

  If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
  If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
  Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry
  . There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
  Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html
  You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
  Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
  When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
  The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
  Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
  If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
  You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
  Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
  Given that your system has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
  Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

• All Microsoft Office 2007 shortcut icons, filetype icons and icons in the taskbar running have become generic on Windows 7 64.

  EDIT: PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE DESCRIPTION THAT I HAD ALREADY TRIED THE SUGGESTED THINGS AND DETAILS TO THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ASKED ARE ALREADY IN POSITION.

  I don't know what is happening, but it's driving me crazy, especially with the new start menu style that shows the icon, I am unable to say what program is because the icon looks like a generic file. If I go to default Programs editor all file extensions that are associated with Microsoft Office 2007 have become generic. How can I fix? What could have caused this?

  Note on the file program (exe) himself the icon is there, but not on anything else!

  I had this problem in the past and I just do a reformat/reinstall of windows and it has a way to date. I tried to regenerate my cache icon so that repair the installation of MS Office and even uninstalling and reinstalling MS Office all to nothing does not.

  System Restore is not enabled then please do not suggest that.

  I feel that I noticed this time that happens right after the installation of VMWare Player. It could be related? The last time when it happened, it seems possible that I had also installed VMWare Player recently but I don't remember.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It all depends on how you created your shortcuts. Are you talking about default desktop shortcuts in the start menu > all programs > Microsoft Office folder. These folders are shortcuts custom icons Windows Installer created by office... not directly since the EXE file. An Office repair must recreate these shortcuts. If not, you could try to remove all your desktop shortcuts and run a repair.
  Here's a quick way to fix a few shortcuts:
  Click on START and type > run > press enter
  Paste the following command line and and change the # symbols with the appropriate below version of office.
  MsiExec.exe/FS {90120000-00#- 0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
  Replace the # by the code in the appropriate version of the Office
  Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 = 11
  Microsoft Office Standard 2007 = 12
  Microsoft Office Professional 2007 = 14
  Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 2nd =
  Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 = CA
  Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 = 2F
  Missing? Other products are listed in this article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/928516
  You can also create shortcuts in the old-fashioned way. Right-click on your desktop and select new > shortcut
  Browser to the Microsoft Office\Office 12\ (select the program)...

• When you run a full scan on windows 7, it can take up to 9 hours.

  I noticed that it takes up to 9 hours to run a full scan in windows 7. Windows Installer seems to be very important when it comes to scanning, as well as others. Is there a way to clean up some of these files, as well as the analysis does not take as long? Or 9 hours an acceptable amount of time to run a scan completes. It seems more 1 million files, is this normal?

  Hello GarryHall,

  The analysis of the file system by using a virus scanner can take hours depending on the number of installed software and drivers. If you have many programs installed on your system, it can really take a lot of time. There is nothing bad about it.
