  Viruses such as the behavior of the Acrobat Reader software. I have a laptop running WIN 7 and kaspersky AV. yesterday when I started my laptop I see all the icons from the browser on my QuickStart bar have been changed to the adobe reader icon and also observe that many other programs on my desktop have changed to the adobe reader icon. If you click the icon it opens adobe reader. I deleted Adobe reader using Add or remove programs and the icons back to normal. Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.

  Go to: Control Panel, Manager of Devic, adapters to extend your network, click with the right button on your wireless network and click on uninstall.

  Do not put a check in the box: remove the software driver for this device.

  Restart your computer and Windows will install your wireless network.

  If the problem persists, see if your computer manufacturer has an updated driver.

• I CS5.5 Master Collection and you want to transfer to a new laptop.  The CS5.5 was an update for CS3 Design standard and I have all the disks and serial numbers.  I just uninstall both programs a laptop and install them on the other?

  I CS5.5 Master Collection and you want to transfer to a new laptop.  The CS5.5 was an update for CS3 Design standard and I have all the disks and serial numbers.  I just uninstall both programs a laptop and install them on the other?

  You can do it, but you don't have to install cs3 in order to install your upgrade of cs5.5.

  You can launch the installation of cs5.5 and you will be asked your cs5.5 serial number.  Setup will ask you then select the product (in a drop-down list) calling.  Select cs3 and you will be prompted for the serial number for cs3.

  Enter the correct number at the right time and to proceed with the installation.

  If you no longer need these programs on your old laptop, disable (help > deactivate) before uninstalling so that you can keep your two activations.

• Can I use my Win 7 Pro Upgrade to upgrade my laptop running Win 7 Home?

  I bought the Windows 7 Pro upgrade before realizing that I had bought the wrong upgrade to what I had on my computer. I ended up having to buy a Win 7 Home, then update to Win 7 Ultimate, so I could keep all my programs in tact. Now, I'm about to get a laptop. If the laptop has Windows 7 Home installed, can I use my Win 7 Pro upgrade for the version of Win 7 Home upgrade? If not, what version on the laptop do I need if I can use my already purchased Win 7 Pro Upgrade? There is no other computer autour who can't use my upgrade, it seems, because I ordered the version of 64-bit operating system, so I guess that laptop must have an operating system 64-bit as well.

  Anytime Upgrade using year already bought Retail Pro/Ultimate key

  In Windows 7 Home Premium, type Anytime Upgrade in search programs and files box on the start menu, and then click the Windows Anytime Upgrade.  From there, you can enter your product key of Windows 7 Professional/ultimate retail and perform a simple upgrade. All programs and files will remain on the computer, there is no drive necessary and it takes about 10 minutes.

• HP 15 laptop: cannot use the touchpad while now the keys

  Sorry if Im this ad in the wrong forum, but I just got a new HP laptop and I can't use the touchpad in now the keys down. I'm playing a game that requires the touchpad to look around, but I can't. Ive already tried disable palmcheck and only allowed me to look around for a second short before the cursor locked up and I wouldn't be able to look around again until I wasn't pressing the keys. Please help ive been everywhere looking for a solution and this is my last hope.

  Hello

  Normally, you just have to disable SmartSense or PalmCheck Control Panel of Synaptics - but from what I've seen, it seems no longer works for Windows 10 versions of this driver.

  You may be able to work around this problem as follows.

  First, download the Synaptics driver on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  Version of the Synaptics 17.0.18.8 driver

  Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

  Open Control Panel, open programs and features, right click on the Synaptics driver and select uninstall.

  When finished, restart the laptop.

  When windows rebooted, open your download folder and re-run the installer of Synaptics - when it is finished, restart the laptop.

  Open the Synaptics settings panel, disable SmartSense or PalmCheck , then check if the touchpad works now with a key on the keyboard is pressed.

  If so, turn on your wireless card and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the Synaptics driver.

• Satellite L855-188 runs slowly - a few apps stop working for a while

  Hello

  I bought this laptop there is an upgrade to a week of the dell studio 1558 and it is most powerful spec wise, and I will admit windows 8 makes things a little strange, but I have problems with the laptop:

  Sometimes the laptop works slowly and some applications such as chrome and steam and Skype just stop working for a while and sometimes require applications to be reset to zero before they will work again and chrome has developed a bug that doesn't let it open if I click with the button straight on her and say to open a new window

  The without wire will fall randomly and won't open the Connections window, the devices show as being active, but cannot enable or disable it or find or even open wireless connections menu for connections to find this can be solved by a system reboot... I have updated the drivers for the wireless to the most recent for the Atheros card

  He do not restart, shutdown or sleep when asked to do the screen turns off, sound as his preparation to close and say with the darkened screen suspended in the closing state until he either cut his own power or I hold the power button to force it to turn off.
  I have updated drivers available on the Toshiba site like all the AMD drivers say they are incompatible

  Help would be appreciated, I don't want to send it back or to try to get back into windows 7 or something dramatic

  To me that sounds like a large number of programs, applications, and processes are running in the background.

  You can try to restore and repair the system:

• What version of Firefox options do I have to use Firefox on the new laptop running Win 7 64 bit, and how do I move bookmarks current laptop running Firefox 3.5.13 again laptop?

  Currently running on the laptop using Windows XP pro sp3 Firefox 3.5.13 and want to move my favorites to a new laptop. New laptop using Win 7 pro 64 - bit OS. I've read too many conflicting reports on Firefox and Win 7 and Firefox works on a real 64 - bit version. What are my choices for a stable browser for the new laptop and what specific version of Firefox is recommended, and the advantages and disadvantages of this suggestion? (I think we can run Firefox 32-bit version in the 64-bit environment, but which is the best choice?) I have not installed Firefox on the new laptop yet and am eager to dump IE. It is displayed for my old laptop. Thank you...

  Mozilla working on a 64-bit version of Firefox, but it's a way off. Currently, the only release versions are 32-bit, and the next major version will be also only 32 bits.

  I recommend that you install the latest version of publication (3.6.10) available since http://www.mozilla.com/

  To copy bookmarks, follow the procedure described in the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer to save a json file, you can import (restore) on the new laptop. You can copy more bookmarks, for details, see back up and restore the information contained in the Firefox profiles and backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base Profile. The last link includes a third-party utility that can make the process easier.

• Laptop running Win Vista will not print wireless connection

  I have a problem I'm trying to print on a printer of all-in-one HP Photosmart 2575 of my laptop.  The laptop is running Windows Vista and connect to the network using a Linksys WRT54G2 router is using.  The printer is connected by Ethernet cable to my desktop (Windows XP), and it prints fine.  No matter what I do to print via the wireless router, nothing happens except that the print output only goes to print that and sits down.

  I down loaded the software HP2575 of Vista and updates directly from the HP site.

  Six days ago, when I first installed everything on the new laptop, I did a test print very well.

  Computer portable printer is configured to print documents Spool and using the Port "Dot4_001 HP Device.  In addition, it has the value "share this printer."

  I tried a test and connected the laptop to the printer using a USB connection, and that runs just OK.  Wireless internet works fine for web connections.

  So, what have I done wrong

  I finally solved the problem. I don't know why it works this time.

• Acer laptop comes with Vista and upgraded to Windows 7 now does not

  My daughter has an Acer laptop and her boyfriend spoke to him in switching to Windows 7, but we are not sure if it was legitimate. He worked for a year or so, but now she cannot access the start menu, you cannot start in safe mode and may have a virus. She has no backup discs. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  Well, if she worked for a year, then it is probably quite legitimate. Whatever this is not activated within 30 days is usually made in an unusable state, or limited. The most likely problem is a virus. She is able to run programs? Some useful malware removal tools are:

  Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool
  Malwarebytes
  SUPERAntiSpyware
  Spybot Search and Destroy
  Microsoft safety scanner

  And it's not the Windows 7 installation disc that used her boyfriend? If you cannot use these tools or the computer is too slow and does not respond then you can use a Live CD. What you do is start you on a CD or a flash drive in a separate operating system in order to perform analyses of virus on the hard drive. You will need to use another computer with a blank CD burner and imgburn program. Write these two files .iso with imgburn.

  BitDefender Rescue CD
  Kaspersky Rescue Disk

  Turn on the computer. Insert the CD of bitdefender inside her computer. Turn off and turn on and watch directly downstairs or upstairs for command to enter the Boot Manager (usually F12) or BIOS Setup (usually F2). Is there is a Boot Manager button and then you must press the key once in a relationship at the time wherever you turn on the computer. Select this option to boot from CD/DVD.

  Is there is only one button for BIOS, then you will need to manually rearrange the order of boot devices so that the CD/DVD drive is at the top which makes the first boot device.

  When the operating system loads up, make sure that you connected to the internet and update the latest virus definitions. You can then run the scan on the hard drive. After that all viruses are removed, then do you the same thing with the Kaspersky CD. It's just to make sure that all viruses are removed.

  I hope that my explanation was not too difficult to follow.
