I have accidentally disabled my Active Desktop. How do I turn it on again?
I turned off my computer and when I rebooted it asked me if I wanted to turn off Active Desktop. By mistake, I said yes. Now I have a white screen for my office and can't get it back.

Says I have javascript disabled, it is not how to fix it?
After updating firefox is unable to get the links to work. The symbol S I normally click to give permission is no longer in my toolbar. Went to check updates to add ons and it tells me that my javascript is turned off. When I check under options, contained, it shows box enable javascript is checked. I can't find anything that tells me how to solve this problem.
This is because the NoScript add-on has been uninstalled by Firefox 7.0.
You just need to manually reinstall.There is a bug in Firefox 7.0 that is supposed to be fixed in 7.0.1:
Each add-on which was an update on hold (NoScript has been updated just before the release of Firefox 7.0) 'disappear' from the list of add-ins. -

oxo800106ba. error code windows defender is disabled! How do I turn it on again manually
I get this error code ox0800106ba. I did a security upgrade and find my latest little having failed, I can't in my startup programs can anyone help at kinlochleven
If you have Norton, McAfee, Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, etc installed, they will disable the Defender by purpose.
Read about Defender:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off
Enable or disable the Windows Defender
When Windows Defender is on, you're alerted when spyware and other potentially unwanted software attempts to settle, run on your computer, or change important Windows settings. If you use the default settings, Windows Defender will also check for new definitions, regularly search for spyware and other potentially unwanted software, and automatically remove any detected item that has a recommended removal action.
Open Windows Defender by clicking on the button start , clicking all programs, and then click Windows Defender.
Click on tools and then click Options.
Under the administrator options, select or clear the check box use Windows Defender and then click Save. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
See you soon.

Security Center has been disabled by a virus, how do I turn this back?
Hello
My computer has been infected with a virus that has disabled the Security Center Service. I cleaned my computer since the virus and other viruses (with the help of Microsoft Security Essentials) and everything seems to be clean. Now when I try to activate the rear Security Center, I went to computer Services (services.msc) but did not find the service center of security that there are listed. I tried using the command (cmd) line using this command:
net start wscsvc
but the response indicates that the name of the service (wscsvc) is not valid.
Can anyone here tell me another option (such as editing the registry) which help to turn on Security Center?
Thank you

Why CS6 apps have been disabled when my CC account expired?
I have been an Adobe user for 20 years, upgraded faithfully every year including CS6. I have subscribed to CC for a year or two and then left to expire and now MY CS6 apps have been disabled. Why? How to make a comeback. I paid a lot of money for the Creative Suites over the years, and I would always have access to them, regardless of my subscription of the CC
If you are still having the same issue, you must connect with different Adobe ID.
Location of the SLCache file:
Optionally you can also rename file SLStore if the problem is not resolved by deleting the SLCache files.
(1) right-click on the icon in the Finder, then select 'Go - To' folder.
(2) you will get a text box, type in the following command and then press the 'return './ Library
It will open the folder System Library.
(3) then navigate to Application Support > Adobe.
Under folder Adobe, you can locate the two SLCache as well as the SLStore folder.
.
Note:
You must re-enter the serial number for all installed Adobe applications [CS 6 and below versions only]
