Please tell us what "impossible" means. Exactly how do you try?
What happens when you try? If you get an error message, please quote the
It verbatim.
And what browser do you use?

I have Windows Vista. I can't the Windows Defender to stay lit. I went to tools, options, real-time protection, save & even restarted my computer. Am I missing something? I did it several times even. Then every time I check to see if it is on it says it's off. Help! My computer needs it. Thanking you in advance for your help.
Hello
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.
Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
Once modified, click apply and OK.
Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
.
If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards. How can I fix it?
Hello FrankHeinsohn,
Hold down the ALT and CTRL together and then press the left/right/up/down to change the orientation. Press the combination of keys followed by the arrow key to the left first to see if this changes the orientation (you may need to press the selected keys a number of times to get the correct orientation. If the left arrow does not try the right, if this does not work try the high and arrow down.
Usually, this action solved the problem. If she does not see if you have an icon in the Panel that gives, you go to your video card. Your card might be control NVidia or ATI control panel. Check the tabs until you see an option to change the orientation of the office. Yours, because the cat has his way, is currently portrait, change in landscape mode.

I have Windows Vista and was able to SAVE flash from adobe, but it does not open. Can someone send me a link to a fix. I can't open videos, games or live videos. Someone please help. Should I change my operating system?
Software Adobe isn't really an option-backup software, you install adobe active X software to enable it. Whatever it is,
Just go to macromedia.com to install adobe... If she refuses, then your user account is not set as an administrator, to change
account, disable the parents settings. Macromedia's flash player.

Original title: registry exe problem
I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?
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.

Moderator Forum Keith has a few suggestions along this line to
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 sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. 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 make, click 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.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

WIFI disabled on windows vista and cannot wireless connect to the net
WIFI disabled on windows vista and cannot wireless connect to the net, but bluetooth wireless Wi - Fi and fine switch is activated. Have a problem with ISATAP #5 who is incapable of solving that can be bound.
All of a sudden I lost my internet connection wireless and I am unable to return. May be because recent windows update. Error messages on the wireless assistant say WLAN offshore or disabled. I have tried every fix.

Is there a way to FIX?
