• I have Vista Home premium and you want to install Windows Defender, but however get the 08x800106ba error message.

  I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

  Where should I go from here

  Hello

  You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

  Read about Defender:

  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):

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

  "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:

  And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

  If you bought a laptop and you want to install Windows 8 Professional, can install you it directly or you must have a base like Windows 7 Stater license?

  Hello

  The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...

  Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...

  The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...

  Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...

• How do I delite ubuntu 9.10 and install windows 7 (I have 1 hard drive)

  Hello

  I installed ubuntu 9.10 and now I want to install windows 7. But when I insert the cd and use the startup program, that I fell into the Windows 7 Installer. Then, I want to install and Windows tell me that it cannot be installed if the drive is not NTFS or something like that. Then who will help if I do like this:

  There is a step in the installation process of Windows that asks you what drive/partition you want to install windows on... Just delete the partition that has ubuntu installed on it, or just delete all partitions if you want... Then you can format the drive and create a new partition to install Windows on... If you can not do this as well better you start thinking your PC to someone who knows how.

  Sorry for the bad English.

  I have only a hard drive!

  Please help and thank you.

• I am using windows 7 on my computer, but I want to install windows xp too. The version of win7 do not accept this for compatibility reasons. is there a solution?

  I am using windows 7 on my computer, but I want to install windows xp too. The version of win7 do not accept this for compatibility reasons. is there a solution? (it is said that the version of windows 7 is more recent and it is the reason why cannot accept the addition of windows xp aas alternative software)

  Three options.

  (1) start from the XP CD, format the HARD drive, create TWO partitions, install XP on the first then the second 7.

  (2) use virtualisatioin if your machine it handles pretty well. Install Virtual PC or VMWare Server and install XP on a virtual disk.

  (3) (easiest if you have Pro 7, Ultimate or Enterprise) download and install XP Mode
