I have a quick notification window pop up frequently, and it is just an unreadable flash on the taskbar notification area.

I am running Windows Ultimate 32 bit. I have a quick notification window pop up frequently, and it is just an unreadable flash on the taskbar notification area.

This is lightening fast and as I said, it cannot be read because it's so fast. I ran Windows Defender, SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes Anti-malware full scan with Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Security Scan and nothing came. Cannot know what is happening. Any ideas?

Hello Chris,

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you have any questions, an error on the taskbar.

I would like to know some information about this problem to help you better.

(1) you remember changes recently in the computer?

(2) have you noticed if the pop-up appears only when access to a particular application?

In the meantime, you can try to follow the following suggestions to solve the problem.

Step 1: See the link to start in safe mode to start Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services to check if the popup appears in safe mode.

Startup options (including safe mode).

Step 2: If you are able to use the computer without pop ups in safe mode, I suggest you perform the clean boot because your system in a clean boot state can identify if all parties third party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot. See the link to perform the clean boot.

How do I perform a boot in Windows

Note: See "How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair .

In addition, open the link and follow the instructions to get the event logs, so that we can see which application is defective.

I hope this helps. Otherwise, feel free to write us again and we will be happy to help you.

Thank you

    I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full. I don't understand how he got that way... but... I've never used windows to the top, however I do back up with my Norton Security.  I'm not a COMPUTER guru AT ALL and am very confused as to what must be saved for me to do a system restore.  I just made a backup on a 16 GB usb flash drive, which included photos, documents, email, contacts and music.  But what of my registry or my drivers I've updated on the latest updates of 2 years and windows?

    So in plain English for the layperson to the computer, lol, can someone tell me...

    Hello

    Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.

    However, try these options:

    Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.

    Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.

    Hello

    How can I scan the Windows 7 registry value and how do I come to know if the registry value is same as it has been installed previously?

    Hello
     
    The Windows registry is a vast and vital part of the computer, which continues to evolve being modified or deleted or new entries are created all the time.
     
    Case where the registry keys of change.
     
    At startup
     
    So that updates
     
    While making customization or custom settings in windows
     
    While to install the software
    Virus... etc.
     
     
    Each click Open and save is related to the registry.
     
    This is something very tedous to verify the integrity of a registry of windows with all of the above modifications being carried out.
     
    You can back up the registry of the computer after you install Windows new and update with all Windows updates and the custom software, into a registry backup or create a system image / restore point.

    You not only peut lose, you go. You can not do a upgrade of
    XP to Windows 7. Although you can use a Windows 7 upgrade copy,
    Since XP, you need to do a clean install with it.

    And how I can save it without copying the data to another location. Thank you

    Copy your data to another location - to external media.
    As you apparently don't do this on a regular basis, let me tell you that you
    Play with fire.  It is always possible that a hard drive crash.
    user, near Thunderbolt error, virus, attack same flight of the

    been said, is not a question of whether you will have such a problem
    but when.

  • I used Windows registry free edit and there no return upwards before you make the changes, and now my compyuer is SLOW

    Can anyone recommend a good registry Fixer-fix?   I've used Windows free Registry repair and she saved before it changed things, but there is no thought. My machine would hardly do anything, so I restored back upward by the software registry repair that I used to use. That has helped some, but my system is still VERY slow, almost like he wants to plant. Give me advice? Or to recommend program?

    I haven't used this registry cleaner, or use Registry cleaners at all because it can mess up your pc if you know exactly what you are doing.

    Malwarebytes is not an antivirus, it is a removal of malicious software, if you don't have an antivirus, you should not be connected to the internet. However, MSE is a software free antivirus you can download it here:

    Microsoft Security Essentials download

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-security/MSE.aspx

    I watched most of tutorials for Macrium reflect, and most of them say they are to restore the entire disk, the free version.

    The pro version offers replacement of individual files, I assume you are using the free version.

    If your system is backed up, then I just restore the version that has a good record, if it is backed up nightly registry should be also.

    I don't know how to restore the registry, I recommend that you restore the entire disk, however, if your system was executed without an antivirus, I would make a perfect relocation with full formatting.

    Or you can run the following tests:

    Download, install, update and scan with these full free malware detection programs:
