  While downloading Itunes on my laptop right before you start to install, I get a message saying that windows Explorer stops because the prevention of execution of data has stopped installation.  Is there any solution for this?  I'd like to install itunes on my laptop.

  Hi Steve681229,

  Hi thrivenformore,

  Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

  You could try to add iTunes to the DEP exception list.  However, this behavior is not normal.  Go to the support forum of Apple for iTunes for Windows, search on DEP.  There should be a thread "How can I turn off DEP for iTunes?" or it Prevet planting iTunes? "which provide troubleshooting steps you might want to try before adding it to the list of exceptions."

  How to add the program to the DEP exception list:

  1. Press Start, right click on computer and select Properties.
  2. in the window that appears, click Advanced (on the left panel) system settings.
  3. in the first box that says Performance, click on the settings button.
  4. in the window that opens, click the Data Execution Prevention tab at the top.
  5. There should be a box of exceptions in the middle of this window. Click the Add button and navigate to the C: drive, then Program Files, then the iTunes folder, and then choose the iTunes exe.
  6. Add the exception, and then click OK in the window of the DEP.

  Hope this helps, Kevin

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Tried to turn off my computer and it froze. Now, the desktop does not load and I get a message saying that Windows Explorer is not responding

  Original title: virus Possible?

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop. The last time I tried to stop it, it froze (got as far as the last screen showing 'close', then didn't). The next time I turned it on the desktop would not load completely (white screen, no desktop icons, accesses start bar) and if I click on the desktop I get a message saying "Windows Explorer is unresponsive. I tried to scan antivirus, but that also froze. I ran Microsoft defender several times, and it always freezes on C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. While I can access internet Explorer, I can't click on the links that would open a new page (gel once more). Finally I can't yet do a reboot or a full stop. If it's a virus, how can I solve the problem when no anti-virus software is running?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated! I just moved across the world and have little knowledge of computers (but I'm much less following the instructions!). The last thing I need is for my laptop to be drunk so I can't communicate with the House...

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Avast - home - free - 7.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they

  The screen that comes up when I put it back in operation is one that says windows stopped at unsucessfully you gives the choice to run in safe mode or let it reboot in 30 seconds, and he usually goes right

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

• When I go to rip a cd I get message saying that windows is not able to accomplish this task.

  When I go to rip a message from windows cd is that it is not able to accomplish this task. also when I go to change where I whant recorded music it is empty and I'm not able to open to choose where to save it. Windows Media will play music, but that's all

  Hello from the McCanns,

  Thank you for the question!

  I'm sorry to know that have problems you with the ripping. As I understand it impossible to rip a disc and get a message that unable to accomplish this task.

  I need to ask you some questions to help you best.

  Method 1:- You may be able to complete the rip by turning on error correction.

  In Windows Media Player -> click Tools-> Options -> peripheral, click the CD burner, choose > Advanced and set the error correction on it.

  Method 2:- There are two ways to change the rip while settings in the Player library. You can insert a CD into your CD-ROM drive and clickRip settings, or you can click on the Rip music tab in theOptions dialog box. The music tab Rip in the Options dialog box offers additional options that are not available in the Rip settings menu.

  To extract music from a CD, follow these steps:

  a: For best results, make sure that you are connected to the Internet before you begin.

  When your computer is connected to the Internet, the Player attempts to retrieve information from press about the tracks being ripped from an online database. The player then adds the information to the files during extraction.

  Note that you can rip a CD when your computer is not connected to the Internet. However, the player will not be able to identify the name of the CD, the artist who created it, or the names of the songs until you go online.

  b: insert an audio CD into the CD drive.

  c: (Optional) If you want to select another format (for example, MP3 instead of WMA) or bit rate (for example, 192 Kbps instead of 128 Kbps) for files created during extraction, in the Player library, click the Rip settings menu and then click on Format or the quality of the Audio.

  d: (Optional) If you do not want to extract from each song, in the Player library, clear the check boxes next to the songs you don't want to extract.

  e: Click the current playback orRip CD CD Rip button in the library of the player to begin extraction.

  For more information, visit the following link: -.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-settings-for-ripping-music

  Meet us if you encounter problems during extraction or any other problem of Windows, and I'd be happy to help you again and try to correct the problem as soon as possible.

  Good day!

  Hope this information helps.

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Mail has stopped working. When I try to open it, I get a message saying that Windows Mail cannot be opened because another instance of it is already running.  (the same manager thought of tasks shows no mail running Windows).

  I tried to restart my computer several times. I tried running Windows update that tries to install Internet Explorer but I get an error code 5.  My antivirus software is up-to-date.  Can anyone help? I miss my Windows Mail :(

  Try to go to start | Search and type in msconfig and then disable the startup items and reboot and see if you get the same error.  It could be due to interference antivirus.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 you can also try compacting and repairing the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/), but I don't think that is the issue because another program seems to be from WinMail.  It could also be due to Windows Search indexing messages, so if you have it turned on, then go to control panel | Filtering options (I think it's location) and delete WinMail indexing courses.
