  Disable Norton.
  Download Microsoft Safety Scanner to scan your computer infections by the virus.
  This is a free security tool, you can perform. It works with your existing antivirus.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-in/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for the use of antivirus software that offers continuous protection.

  Once it has run, you have to re - activate Norton. If the Microsoft safety scanner does not remove the virus, I suggest that you contact Norton support because it does not find the virus, he just can not remove it.

  I hope this helps.

  7. navigate to the location and find the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open.

  Response from Neil Clark

   

  Hi K - Ann,

  Thank you for the above information.

  I followed you instruction to back up the registry keys, but when I followed step number 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

  Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.
  
  So I closed my computer and restarted. I then followed your instructions again (this time save the backup of the registry to a member in the same library, called "Backup260910bkup"

  Yet once, when I followed the number of the step 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

  Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910bkup.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

  Can you tell me what I need to do to work around this problem of backup of the registry?

  I look forward to receiving your response.

  Thank you

  Neil Clark.

  Hi NeilRClark,

  When a registry key is blocked from change, the user can also run a. Registry Registry REG entries to merge the registry keys, values or the value in the system registry data, with the following permission denied error message:

  Cannot import RegistrationEntries.reg. Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.

  To solve this problem, the ownership and grant full control (read and write) permissions and rights on the protected system registry key.

• Is it possible to shut down the computer after the call to a draw on Chess Titans?

  Is it possible to shut down the computer after the call to a draw on Chess Titans? It does this to me almost everytime I have the King stuck, but when my King is stuck, I lose each time. WTH?

  original title: circulation of Chess Titans

  If its your turn and you can make any legal move either with any piece, but your King is not in check, it is then deadlock. Deadlock is considered a match draw in standard chess rules. For examples, see:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalemate .

  If your King is in check and you can immediately do a legal process to get out then check it's checkmate. For the person who the King is in check, this counts as a loss. For examples, see:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate .

  In the two scenarios above, can even vice versa (it may apply to your opponent too).

  If the above explains what you see in Chess Titans then the program is correctly following standard rules and it is not a bug in the program. If she does not explain what you see then please explain more precisely the scenario.

  Menu start no longer displays options to shut down the computer, someone knows how to change that?   The power options menu did not help.

  When this happened to me, it was malware that didn't stop my computer, probably because she wanted to do something with it. I held the power button down until the computer is turned off manually, then I rebooted in safe mode - I run Vista - and ran some virus and malware programs until I found the beast and it crashed. You can also run a scan MS online at onecare.live.com, which was updated earlier this week. Moreover, I had not any data loss or permanent damage.
