In Windows Defender, remove them, disable and enable buttons will activate not when I try to use them to manage the start up programs.

I'm looking to speed up startup of Windows Vista.  I had used Windows Defender to disable startup programs.  It worked as described.  This time, delete, disable it and enable buttons would not activate or turn on when I chose a program to turn off.  Any suggestions?

Defender is probably not necessary with McAfee...

Both offer a real - time sweep and may potentially conflict with each other.

You should never have more than one security product installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and conflicts between programs and can affect all installed antivirus product efficiency.

Vista is historically a slow start... I have improved the startup of my Vista laptop with a reinstallation of the operating system, without installation of I-tunes (the computer was used by my daughter-in-law) and I added 1 GB of RAM.  It starts very well now.

McAfee is known to adversely affect the performance of the computer - I him have not used for many years.  The last time that I removed McAfee from a slow computer, that it was like the addition of several gigabytes of RAM to view was an immediate performance improvement.  If your computer has a good processor (preferably bicoeur) and several GB of RAM must be able to run Vista (and McAfee) however.

Good luck...

    1 copy / copy as DNG, this option allows you to copy files of origin from their existing location, for example a folder on an existing, promenade, internal, external, a reader of card or a camera SD card connected to the computer via a USB port, to a location of your choice, in a folder of a HARD internal, external HARD disk drive or a network drive on your choice.

    Re-installing Dell inspiron 19 has windows 7

    People,

    I have a Dell Inspiron 19. The Dell of Dell diagnostics disk utilities & drivers say all right. It is a Seagate 320 GB drive. I installed the drive on another computer and used sea tools to erase the disc.  Then I created a partition and marked as "bootable".

    When I try to use the Dell reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home premium SP1 64-bit, it crashes when is about to display the windows logo.  A few pixels logo show and then it's there.  Any ideas?  I worked on it for several days.  Really a "stumper" for me and I did something like that for years!

    Original problem seems to be a massive viral infection (owner had no active antivirus software installation!) which led to the non-bootable computer.  After working on this for a while, I decided to just do again it.

  • Windows Defender removed?

    Hello guys recently I think 1 of my programs accidentally deleted my Defender windows completely off of my computer. I don't think it's still exists. the error I get when I start windows Defender is: {26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB06...:{D8559EB9-20C0-410E-BEDA-7ED416AECC2A}, they, it says cannot find program. I am currently using windows vista 32-bit on a laptop, can it be fixed? If so someone can teach me? Thank you

    Hello

    Windows Defender is part of the operating system Vista and you do not uninstall and reinstall.

    If, by some unknown method you used, you deleted it, you will need to do a repair installation upgrade to solve the problem:

    "How to perform a repair for Vista Installation"

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

    But before you do that, read this information about Windows 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):

    "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"
