  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):

  Given that this program is Portable there is no way to uninstall using programs and features.  He says reading about portable programs... that you delete the folder that the program created... and its autorun file and his party.  I can find the file... it shows his request... I can't find the Autorun if in fact there is a.  The program installed in C:\Users\XXXXX\Desktop and I can see the Zip file downloaded in the Desktop folder and the folder decompressed when you click on it shows... Type of Application.

  How would completely uninstall a Portable program to include its autorun?

  At this moment I have two icons for Windows Update notify 1.2.2 view that I see when I click on the box SHOW HIDDEN ICON on the taskbar and that makes no sense... they are exactly the same... certainly 2 are not necessary and I have found no way to remove one...    If I keep this program installed, proposals on how to delete one of these duplicate icons?

  I tried to click on enable and disable the icons... but the notification Windows Updater icon was not in the list

• Its icon does not appear in the notification area - no audio device is installed

  NO INSTALLED AUDIO DEVICE & NO SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLER NOT TAB ON DEVICE MANAGER

  I had some problems with the sound on my laptop... sometimes the volume icon will suddenly disappear from the notification area and I can not add it even because it is grayed off the coast, unless I restarted my laptop... and after an automatic Windows Update I suddenly got errors on my sound whenever I play a game and try to mute it. After that, the volume in the notification area icon got a red X and it had the "NO AUDIO DEVICE IS INSTALLED" message!

  I tried everything I found on the net without success. I can't even enable or disable my audio driver because I have NOT any how 'audio, video controller & game' tab on my DEVICE MANAGER! I can't uninstall & re-install my drivers either because it would not uninstall first, even in safe mode. Reinstall the driver will give me an error message saying "No. MEDIA FOUND to this DEVICE DRIVER" !

  I also tried to reformat my laptop and goes back to factory settings, restore my system to a point where I wasn't having problems still, it reboot several times, always check the Device Manager if somehow the tab for its controller will magically appear and try several times to reinstall my driver... This gave me No. SOLUTION !

  I don't know what to do more and forums on other sites do no help either. I don't want to dirty my registry for fear of totally play my laptop.

  HOW can I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I just got windows update and not only I have problems with the audio on my laptop but I can't play games on facebook either!

  Hi Annetalla,

  You can uninstall the current sound driver from Device Manager and restart the computer to load the generic driver and check if it makes a difference.

  1. click on Start.

  2. type devmgmt. msc in the search box start and press to enter.

  3. right click on the speaker and select Uninstall.

  4 restart the computer, and vista will load the generic drivers.

  If an audio device on board, you will see the option in the BIOS. To do this, you need to read the manual that came with your computer or contact the manufacturer for this.

• Notification area: icons are invisible (NOT the system icons)

  Was fine when I went to bed last night. Computer did an automatic stop (no windows update). Started this morning and the notification area icons are invisible. The space of each icon is still there because I can mouseover a vacuum arises space and text for each icon.

  I tried the regedit fix, but that is really intended for people who cannot see their system icons. The icons of my clock, volume, network and battery are still visible, but no other icons are. Restarted several times, started in safe mode and windows theme switched from classic to vista. I can't find an answer to this problem.

  When I restart windows, first 2 or 3 icons will begin to show, but then after that, for some reason, they disappear and no other icons appear. As I said, however, the actual processes are still running and I can even access. Just the icons are not visible.

  Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  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.

• On 3 levels notification area icons, not one

  Suddenly, the notification area icons have been changed a line at the bottom of the screen to 3 levels, thus shortening the screen. I tried dragging them to the original format using the arrow cursor/up-and-to the bottom, but nothing would move.  I have windows XP sp3

  The task bar are now resized.  In addition to on three levels notification area icons, I noticed later sections of divider taskbar [thin line of vertical points between the 'missions'] were on 2 levels, instead of one.
  I was able to drag the low divider to the same level as that of top, [including the task].

  Then and only then, [for a reason any] did the arrow cursor/double head decide to work on the upper part of the task bar and I was able to resize.  However, I have left clicked on the mouse to drag, not right click.  Previously, I had clicked left and right click, but nothing has worked.  Now, I've locked the taskbar, so that I won't in the future.

  Your help is appreciated.
