Hi larryburrage,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2 when was the last time it was working fine?
3 do you have Norton installed on the computer security software?
If you use Norton Security software on the computer then refer to the article below and check if it helps.
http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013
If you don't use security software Norton then temporary deactivation of security software installed on the computer and check if it helps.
Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

I have first items 13, recently installed on a new laptop of Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series. The program works very well. However, when I have access to the program, I get a message that there is an update available, 13.1. I let him go ahead and do the update before using the program. It only updated, then restarts first elements 13. As soon as the program loads, I again get the message that 13.1 update is available. How to stop the happy ground?
RTA,
Thank you very much for your answers. As you suggest, I went to the help/updates and found that 3 points were scored update, Manager, 13 Photoshop and first elements 13 elements. On a hunch, instead uncheck one of them, I thought I'd see what would happen to let update all 3. It took a while, but, long story short, stopped the happy Vangogh and everything seems fine. Thank you for your messages, much appreciated. Walt Maken

Hi all
I'm a little confused, I have an account of my Institute dreamspark, I want to download and install windows 7 pro on my 4540 s HP's Probook.
I need to know, is Windows 7 which is on dreamspark is the same as all other versions that are for sale by Microsoft? or they have a special edition for students for free?
Quick answers will be very much appreciated. My laptop is disturbing with windows 10 so...
They are the same in terms of features and functions, but vary a little bit by issuing permits.
The conditions in which it is provided to you by your University may required you are enrolled in a program of Bachelor's degree at the University in order to download and use the software.
Microsoft offers Windows and other products that society develops in different channels with certain rights of market restriction. OEM (Dell, HP, Lenovo) OEM System Builder, detail, (Dreamspark) academic, Volume License.
Regarding the Dreamspark license, he wears the same privileges to licensed for sale at retail, with the transfer rights.

Disabled USB when you run the WD My Passport Ultra software
I use a WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB with Windows 7 X 64, when I run the WD software all USB ports and paved touch on my laptop would deactivate but jut the keyboard. I made all possible options to solve it, but... I have removed the app, re installed the last version of the web site, restart windows. But when I connect this device as external DHH, everything goes well. I don't know what part of the security of this software disable all USB ports. I have disabled Antivirus, nothing has changed.
Please advise what would be a problem!
Thank you
Reza
Hey there RezaMoghadam :)
I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I'll try to help him with everything I can. :)
What WD software do you use? This happens with other WD or third party you run software? You have the latest driver and OS? Is the function of conduct properly on this or other computers? What is the brand and model of your laptop?
I could try the drive on another computer and see if the problem still occurs.
I also check the disk with the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool and see if it passes the tests quick and extended. Here is a link to the tool: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=3XVkbA
Another thing you can do is completely remove drivers and let the OS to install via the update tool.Post back with some progress :)

Vista OS does not load. I tried booting and the load screen bar continues to work without success. When you run the start he stops to c:\windows\system 32\cmd.exe that I don't want to lose my files so I have not reinstalled. Any suggestions?
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Data recovery, if/before you reinstall:
1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.
2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.
3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:
http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html
Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
Download the Vista software from the link above.
After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.
Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.
Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.
Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.
When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.
Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.
Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).
Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.
See you soon.
