• I have 38,000 double-files.do, I have to go through all and decide which keep do I take my PC to have cleaned teacher? What are my options?

  I have more 38 000 files duplicated in my PC. I have to go through everyone and decide which to keep? What should I take my PC to get it cleaned up prof.?  What are my options. This is second hand PC that I thought was cleaned whenever I bought

  Seriously, my best advice when dealing with a used computer is to wipe the system settings of the factory and to start with something that you can call your own. You do not know to what extent the configuration of the machine has been "customized" and the large number of duplicate files is indicative of problems in the system.

  Prior to the relocation of factory default, you can use a free program like BelArc Advisor or SiSoft Sandra on the computer. Each of these lists several factors of the computer configuration, including software installed and associated with product keys. If you're feeling particularly playful mood, Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is another option. A case like this can be valuable during a clean installation.

• At the start of office shows icons and then goes to a blank white screen. I have Vista Home edition

  When I turn on my Dell Inspiron with Vista Home preinstalled desktop PC; the system starts with the desktop icons and then goes to a white screen, absolutely nothing to click on display. I hit control, alt delete, then to display the Task Manager. I click on the Task Manager and the display shows nothing is running. now the taskbar displays the shortcut at the bottom of the screen icons. I then click on the desktop at the bottom of the screen icon and mode full-screen displays a complete picture, including the background with the regular complete icons. Why this happens, and how not to eliminate the white screen after starting? The Task Manager does not fix this.

  Native: Problem solved! My computer flashed a Message automatically asking me to update 'Safemode Dell Now. So I said yes, and the update took about 2 Minutes. Everything seems to be OK. I appreciate enormously the support you offered, and say... THANK YOU for your help. Kind regards... Frank 2468

• Argh! I * just * bought PE10, what are my options?

  I just bought PE10 (I say just bought, there is a little more than 60 days). What are my options? I know that often the reputable sellers will allow something like a window of 90 days for new versions. If I know Adobe, it's doubtful, but thought I would ask. I still have to pay the "full" price upgrade, or are recent purchases of PE10 eligible for an upgrade to PE11?

  Thank you

  Where should I go from here

  Hello

  You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

  Read about Defender:

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
