I had problems with the Sims 3 on my pc.

I have been in contact with support of EA and they advised me to operate the system in a clean boot state. They have me linked to a page for windows xp, but I'm on windows 7. How can I get my system in a clean boot state. I hope that without doing a system restore.

This is the page they relate to me at: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

I hope someone can help me, thanks

Try this link, it's for Windows 7.

    Hey portogermano,

    I have not had problems yet, but I've heard that sort of ransomware is distributed through a program called Transmission.

  • Someone had problems with the shutter speed on the Canon 70 d?

    I've used a Canon 60 d which was brilliant! My husband bought me a 70 d at Christmas as a surprise. However, I have problems with the shutter speed. In automatic mode, everything is fine but on manual, Av, Tv etc I seem to be unable to change the shutter speed of a very slow release. I want to know if the unit is defective somehow, or if there is something I should be doing that I'm not. Please can someone advise/inform me what I can do wrong or if it's something I should take with Canon?

    First of all, you need to reset your 70 d to the factory settings. Check your manual for more information on how to do it.

    You can't troubleshoot anything until you are zero squared.

  • iPad2 and problem with the SIM card after update

    even after the 9.3.1 last updated continuously having problems with SIM TIM card network.

    I changed and I tried with another SIM card but the problem remains.

    I did have all those problems with 9.2.1.

    Apple could intervene and solve these problems? Otherwise, I think it's better to make a return to the old 9.2.1.

    Thank you

    Do you see the network? and is it strong enough?

  • I had problem with the download of version 6 of firefox, it came with a virus attached.

    When I downloaded version 6 I had problems to start firefox, so I downloaded again. My safety is with Trend Micro. I get a message from the security system that she had not received an update since August 22. I call them and they send somehow an update which took more time than I expected. I decided to do a full scan with the updated file and he found two viruses which they solved. One for each update of version 6. Normally, I'm sure firefox when it says that the download has been checked. Somehow firefox and trend micro has not this time.
    I don't know what virus because it was not identified.

    Where did you downloaded Firefox 6.0.2 of as if it was from mozilla.org , mozilla.com there is no virus in Firefox as it may very well not be a false positive, more frequent after a recent virus definition update. Over the years whenever an anitvirus thought something in Firefox was a virus or a trojan, it was a false positive or a mistake and they corrected in a new virus definition update.

    At least remember where allegedly the virus?

    Also if it was in the Firefox Cache, then the virus and the Trojans and other horses in there are completely harmless.

    For example:
    Someone has recently pointed out that his reported avasts JS:Dursg trojan - in timer.xul however, that did not come with Firefox.

  • Anyone else had problems with the connection switched to the internet automatically? More details

    I had this problem since the first part of January 2011. I use a dial-up connection, I have windows vista home Premium 32 bit. I can click on the internet icon on my desktop what the little box that has a checkbox to automatically connect to the internet, the diallog which is supposed to have the name of the internet connection is empty, it tries even to compose, but he does not open the port to dial an outside line. All the time I have a tick on my tab internet connections dial options each time that a network connection is not present or always dial my connection default slot choose settings if you need to configure a proxy server for a connection, it will not work on one, I can manually connect using of these (one at a time) but every time I click on the internet icon does not recognize a connection already exists, I get this message telling me that I need to connect to the cause of the internet, I work in offline mode. Whenever I get that message I click on connect to go online then it trying to connect automatically by calling and then I get this message, it cannot establish a dial-up access and still it does not open the port to dial an outside line.

    I can connect manually using the same connection and put the check box on the never dial a connection under select parameters if you need to configure a proxy server for a connection on the connections to internet options tab and I don't have a problem connecting to the internet. I did a reset and set up a new connection and that didn't work either.

    The Connection Wizard recalled the correct information, it was not correct that then I would not use this same computer online now. The reason is that I am currently using the same computer that has the problem of not being able to connect to internet automatically online. This same computer that has the problem of not being able to connect to the internet automatically, it will connect manually using exactly the same ISP configuration by routing the connection in order to never establish a connection on the internet connections tab options, while I'm on dial upward, it is assumed to be always dial my default connection under choose settings If you need to configure a proxy server.

    I have windows Vista Home premium 32-bit with service pack 2

  • Someone had problems with the Group Me app?

    After you download this app and sync my contacts, I have an unknown person in my list of contacts that the person is in my address book.  I do not know this person and I couldn't get a response from the Group Me support app, and their page url does not exist.  Support people sent me a generic email and told me how to remove a member, but I have been unable to solve the problem of the way that they describe. Now, I can't get rid of that person.  I am afraid that they have access to all my contact information now.
