• Current running Windows Defender and other software antiviral at the same time?

  Can I run Windows Defender if I run another program of the anti-virals at the same time?

  Windows Defender is disabled to prevent computers on Vista and Windows 7 possible software conflicts when antimalware programs such as AVG, McAfee, MSE and Norton are installed.

  For more information about Windows Defender on Windows 7, see http://securitygarden.blogspot.com/2011/04/understanding-microsoft-anti-malware.html

  If it still works after that you installed an antivirus program, I suggest that disable you Windows Defender.

• Windows 7 and other programs cannot read or burn cddvd

  My system not usually read or burn on my cddvdw drive. I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L500D with a TSST TS-L633C, and after I had these problems I installed Toshiba DVD player as well. From Toshiba DVD player can play the discs very well! Nothing else will accept that there is a DVD in the drive ~ including Windows applications and Microsoft themselves. Until I start to play using the DVD from Toshiba drive, the disc in the drive is simply the drive "hunting" or at least that's what it looks like.

  I noticed in "Device Manager" this drive has now two drivers that are associated with ~ the pilot Windows and a pilot separated for the reader to DVD from Toshiba. NOTE: This player has been installed AFTER that I started to have problems.

  At some point I uninstalled all CDDVDW drive altogether and rebooted the system. Windows recognizes that I had 'new device' and installed his "pilot new as well as the driver Toshiba DVD Player as well. Still no joy in the use of this unit with anything other than Toshiba DVD Player.

  Here, anyone has any new ideas?

  PS: I ran the Fix Tool from this site with no results!

  Hello

  "A DVD will be recognized by the Toshiba DVD player, but by nothing else in any OS I
  on this system. (I have Vista, Windows7, and PCLinuxOS tri-boot.) »

  ---------------------

  Since the 3 operating systems fail to recognize the drive correctly I think that the problem is hardware related.
  drive speed, wiring, circuits on the motherboard. Or the real player has a problem. This isn't very
  likely that all 3 OS developed a similar problem at the same time, it's why the only things remaining
  are the material and the reader. Check the BIOS, although given that it could have been written a glitch
  in it.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Explorer and other programs will not open / work

  Can anyone help? In XP Home Edition, programs as internet explore/microsoft works work only sporadically, but often does not open and then I asks me to send an error report. When I try to stop, Windows Explorer will not work and asks me to send another report of error! ... Can not much experience with these things someone explain what I can do? (I ran a virus scan, and all seems ok)
  Thank you

  Hi Mike,.

  According to my experience, this kind of behaviour is symptomatic of the corruption of data on the hard drive. However, since you say that these applications work sometimes I am inclined to suspect that your hard drive may be failing, possibly with errors in sector where those applications reside.

  I suggest that you take a backup copy of the any of your own data files and then run a CHKDSK command on your hard drive to see what he finds (this can make a right click on the HARD drive in my computer icon, then select Properties, then the Tools tab.) Check disk utility is at the top).

  If it detects too many bad sectors, and then looking to replace the hard drive and reinstalling your system.

  Kind regards

  You have installed chrome? It's looking like a recent update of chromium may be the cause. Here are two patches.

• How can I transfer? two computers running windows 7 and she wants to give me one of them, but it first wants to transfer or share all his stuff from one to the other.

  my mother has two computers that are running windows 7 and she wants to give me one of them, but it first wants to transfer or share all his stuff from one to the other. We network cables and such can I connect the on computers and share information from one to the other?

  Hello

  To connect two computers with a cable, not a router, it must be a crossover cable.
  These are special cables, but they are not expensive.

  (You can configure a network or a host group (see below))

• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

  When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

  Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

  Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

  When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

  also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

• I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message.

  I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message.  I ran disk cleanup, disk defragmentation and cleaned up all the old files and still only have 793 MB free on GB total 103.  I noticed that my 6.0.6002.18005_001c11ba_blobs.bin file takes 54.9 GB of space.  In research, it seems that it is safe to delete this file--is that true?  If so, how? It seems that I need permission to do this.

  To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

  Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

  You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

  You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

  Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.

• I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017. MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?

  I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017.  MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?

  Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.

  That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).

  Good luck!
