original title: Itunes and DEP
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,
Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum. Here's what worked for someone else. Thanks Kevin
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

Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then get any drivers\software update for the device.
Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the link below to access pre - install the system recovery tools.

OS = Windows 7
Computer = Gateway FX6840
Media = gateway recovery media
Hard drive is set to AHCI in BIOSI started meeting with S.M.A.R.T. errors.
I backed up my data.
I replaced 1 TB Seagate original with a new 2 hard drive to Seagate Barracuda SATA STBD2000101. Computer is equipped also is from the factory... no additional or modified facilities.
I tried to restore Windows 7 from the rescue of the disks created with the "Gateway Recovery Management"
Windows copying files over, the machine restarts, it installs the devices, then it stops at the "installation program starts services" and a window opens with the message "windows Setup could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer.
I can't apply the Article ID: 2466753 because the process of restoration of the plant seems not provide an option to load a driver .
Any help would be appreciated... Gateway is only interested to collect money. They have no interest in serving the poor suckers who buy their products (computer is 2 years old so it is out of warranty).
Thanks for the reply.
Fortunately, I solved the problem myself (after 19 hours of stress).
The problem is that the recent hard disk has something different that no longer ages and makes pre-service pack 1 (SP1 solves the problem) versions of Windows 7 incompatible. My set of recovery disks have been created the day I bought the computer, which had no windows updates installed at the time.There is an "easy solution" on the Microsoft support site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us
Unfortunately, their method works only if you have a Windows 7 installation disc, which does most of the people who buy computers pre-built manufacturers. Essentially, the solution is to install SP1 from a disc when don't give you the possibility to load drivers during installation, an option that the gateway recovery disks.
So I thought that, theoretically, if I use my recovery discs to get a clean install on a hard drive that works, then use windows update to get updated (or at least to get SP1), and then make a set of NEW recovery disks (using windows backup: start > all programs > maintenance > Backup and Restore), I should be able to use these discs to install the new hard disk.
It worked.
So for someone else who has this same problem with new hard disks, I hope that the above is easy to understand. If not, ask someone else more savvy and show them this thread. Do not forget that at the end to create new recovery disks, it will ask you if you also want to create a 'system' repair disc. DO THIS! This is the disk that you need to start from when you are ready to install.
Also: If your new hard drive is bigger than the one that you have created the new recovery disks, the partition on your new hard drive (once everything is installed) will be the same size as the one that you have created the records on. You will need to use a kind of editor of score for re - size. I recommend Gnome Partition Editor. http://www.gparted.org
Burn gparted Live CD and him, resize your partition, and you're done (google for more in-depth instructions).

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...

Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have

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-downloadOr 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

All of a sudden get the message saying my windows 7 is not genuine?
I bought this copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (updated version) nine on amazon. I used it to upgrade the windows 7 Home premium, which is installed with a new laptop. The laptop was purchased directly from Toshiba so I'm reasonable sure it is authentic. It was a little embarrassing turn on and had to be done by phone to Microsoft. He was well until the message no real work appeared two days ago. The diagnostic below report indicates what could be the problem? I still have the original 7 key ultimate disc and thus that domestic product premium oem version supplied with the laptop. I also found slui.exe does not, nor has the link change product key in the windows activation section. ???

Get the message that my Windows 7 can be counterfeit
After 5 years earlier to have Windows 7 installed on this computer, I have a message saying that it is not authentic. Then, I get a window asking me to validate, but the "run" box could not check the origin. I know that this is a valid software, since I got directly from Microsoft. What should I do?
Andre:
Thank you for that comprehensive answer. Unfortunately, it is too technical for me. I made no changes to several months; This just today. When I bought my laptop, it's VISTA and since Windows 7 has been out in a month or two, I got Windows 7 for free and it has been downloaded directly from Microsoft. It was 5 years ago, and I had no problem until today. When I tried to validate as requested by the system of the "run" box says that he could not verify the sender, so I stepped back.
Any ideas? Remember, keep things simple.
Thank you
