• I get the message Windows is set up PSSWCORE

  Hi, when I start my computer it keeps coming up with the message Windows is set up PSSWCORE and then after a few minutes it says that the information is on a CD-ROM disc.  I tried to put in my Windows Vista disk to see if that would take care of the problem, but it's not... can you tell me what this means and what I need to do to fix this?

  Thanks :)

• error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password.

  original title: remove administrator account or remove password

  I am trying to remove a user administrator account or remove the password and I get the error message below. Also, I can't delete the password as an administrator in Windows 7 32 bit or delete the account. I get this error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password. I tried to create another admin account, but it does however not take away the password or delete the account else

  Someone has put a policy on your machine to enforce some rules for passwords. Best is to ask that person to change these rules for you. Alternatively, you can run gpedit.msc, then follow this path to edit yourself: Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Windows settings / security settings / account policy / password policy.

  Note also that:
  -You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account.
  -Administrator with a blank password accounts is a big security risk.

• Windows defender is stopped. whenever I turn on my computer. setting has been activated automatically, but a message "windows defender is disabled" keep appearing one whenever I click on it. Help, please. Thank you!

  Windows Defender is disabled whenever I turn on my computer. setting has been activated automatically, but a message "windows defender is disabled" keep appearing one whenever I click on it. Help, please. Thank you!

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

  If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
  Start bittun > in the search box, type services > press ENTER > uac prompt > scroll down and look for Windows Defender...
  under the State ; It must be said Started
  under Startup type : must say automatic
  If this isn't the case, right click on Windows Defender > properties >
  under the change of automatic startup type to
  under service status to start editing

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs

  Hi Mefrombigd,

  1. it happens with all types of CD?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3 when was the last time it was working fine?

  4. you receive the error message when you insert the CD into the CD drive?

  Method 1

  Check if you can access the contents of the CD using Windows Explorer application.

  (a) click the start menu, and then double-click computer.

  (b) make a right click on the CD drive, click Open.

  (c) check if you can access it.

  Method 2

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
