• I can not get internet explore and Microsoft word to stop the launch at startup.

  I looked at through these programs and autorun boot are not listed.  I checked the configuration and that they are not and I checked AVG and they do not appear as startup items.  They are not in my Start menu.  How can I get these programs STOP opening on startup?  I don't even use internet Explorer - I simply downloaded it once and now it keeps opening.  I used Word once of many weeks ago, and now it opens each time.  How can I stop this from happening?

  Hello Sarah133,

  In addition to the information that Amara has provided, please look at the suggestions below.

  You can check the boot in a few places by using MSCONFIG.
  ·       Click Start on your desktop
  ·       Type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  ·       Go to the Startup tab. There are options to enable all or disable all or you can uncheck a particular program.
  Check if WinWord is set to run at startup, if so, then uncheck the box.
  Now, restart the computer and see if the word appears at the start of your computer.

  You can also check the registry to see if it is set to run at startup.
  Go to the Start button.
  In the start search, type Regedit.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY 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. Please make a backup of ther registry before making any changes. Or you can create a system restore point.

  Now, you place the following keys.
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

  Hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce

  If the word is in the list, then delete this registry entry only.

  If please reply back and let us know if this helps with your question.

  Thank you

• How can I get my netflix and hulu accounts to load to the appleTV

  We use netflix and hulu on our smart TV, but have some questions then got an AppleTV.  How can I get these accounts to get on screen the AppleTV.  The App store don't show them not as "in the cloud" to download?

  Hi Diane

  Once you're on the appleTV, you shouldn't be on the interface (right now all what you're used to seeing) of your smart TV.

  After you have connected your your ATV HDMI cable to your TV, your TV remote, you should be able to go to the respective HDMI (usually the key to which is called input or Source)

  Once you see the ATV interface, netflix should be there. You should perhaps update your ATV first and configure it to your wifi for the first time.

• Can not get on PC Win7 SP1 10 app despite all the updates window.

  Hi, I can't get 10 App window on my PC in Win7 SP1 despite all the updates. I ran the utility software troubleshooting GWA and he said that my PC is not up-to-date. I had followed all the instructions on the troubleshooting page. Under my computer properties, it shows that my Windows 7 is genuine and SP1.  I can not find the service pack SP1 showing installed in my control panel in the installed updates. I tried to reinstall SP1, but it said I already had SP1. Following the instruction on the Windows 7 SP1 download page, I tried to uninstall the SP1 that is currently on my PC using the command-line option, but he says that I don't have SP1 installed. (So confused) Someone has the same problem and knows how to solve?

• I can not using F8 safe mode, so I can not get access to my admin account and therefore cannot uninstall my program

  original title: administrator, f8 safe mode access

  My computer problem begins with not being about to uninstall a program. I need administrator permissions. I am the administrator with a password. I'm not invited to give a. Nothng happens when I press a button with a shield on it. I received another message that tells me "unable to open the access control editor: the system cannot find the specified file. I found the instructions online to restart the computer (by pressing the F8 key) in safe mode. Once in safe mode I can essentially take possession of the C drive and reset admin ACCT. in SUMMARY, I can't have with using F8 safe mode (I tried once bagillion) so I can not get access to my admin account and therefore cannot uninstall my program. Can anyone help?

  I don't know anything about "reset admin account" but here are two things that may help the case to start in safe mode.  First, enter the mode safe mode with f8 key is a matter of time.  On my computer (Dell) during the boot process, I'm going to get a screen send me options of start of f2 and f12, which is to enter the BIOS.  I can start hitting key f8 then but you will in safe mode unless I'm hit immediately after that the screen with f2 & f12 choices goes.  I just hit several times for a few moments at this time.

  thread Description:

  In addition, my Skype name is passed to AuntiM4 somehow live: rosysdtr so I really don't know what password has been used. There is no change.

  Hello Marilyn,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community!

  You cannot access the AuntiM4, get the message incorrect password and when you try to connect with Microsoft ID, you are redirected to another page.

  The problem may occur if there is a malicious content or if the hosts file is damaged.

  1. the problem occur only when you access the AuntiM4?

  2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  To check if the problem is due to malicious content or corruption of the hosts file, I suggest you follow the mentioned steps:

  Method 1:

  See the site:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-security/browser-hijacking.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Warning: him reset Internet Explorer settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you have added to the list of Trusted Sites. Reset the Internet Explorer settings can also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the reset Internet Explorer settings.

  Method 2: Reset the Hosts file

   

  See the site:

  How can I reset the default Hosts file?

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972034

  Method 3: Scan the computer to remove all possible malicious content

  See the site:

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

• My phone fell, and I can not get Windows to start. The repair option will not work.

  Windows Vista restore

  My phone fell, and I can not get Windows to start.  The repair option will not work. I tried to use an upgrade disc, but the 'upgrade' function has been disabled. It says I have to do it from the office, to which I can not access. The repair disk feature did not work either. Is it possible to restore the system without losing my files?

  Have you had your laptop, checked by a technician?

  If you use a 32 bit Vista copy then any upgrade must be run from the Vista desktop.

• I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent and do every time.

  I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  It is not usually necessary to create an exception for the certificates.
  
  Possible causes are that a server does not send the full (intermediate) certificate chain or self signed certificates.
