• How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer?

  Original title: completely clueless

  I'm totally clueless when it comes to computers, but I try very hard to learn. I am using the help section a LOT, but I can't seem to find an answer to the only thing that makes me crazy. How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer? I have a very basic net accountant I learn on before I screw up a portable more expensive and I do a cleaning on my C and D drives to improve performance because it runs so slow but it tells me I have the drivers who slow down Windows. I would greatky appreciate any assistance from someone who has the patience of a saint and is willing to take the time to explain it to me, in terms laymans. Thanks in advance

  Drivers: you should know what you bought (in your machine) and what * you * want out of it.  If you want stability and things work properly - let alone the drivers.  If you want more performance check (and other games) in the drivers of motherboard chipset and video network from the manufacturers Web site... For more stability stick with the OEM website (HP, Dell, Lenovo - the assembler of the whole machine) and slightly more performance/push the limits (even if they want to work too - so still some stability) - access to websites of its components manufacturer.

  With regard to the programs: you can decide what you use and do not use.  If you are not sure, look it up (Google) or ask.

  If you can not use a restore point, and the moving process simple origonal location cannot be done.

  I would like to copy your files to external data, make sure that you have the keys that can be required for programs, then start with a win clean installation, deleting all partitions during the process, and then using the entire disk for C space.

  You can different circumstances redirect your libraries only to another drive, other than C.

  By the publication of the description, the programs contain accessories are empty. The question could be if the system is running a system optimization software or it is infected by a virus.

• Received a call from phone scam someone saying my computer is infected with the virus and malware

  original title: support for pc rj

  I recently received a call from someone called Mark of pc rj support and they said that my computer is infected with viruses and malware. Immediately, I hang up and called my computer technician who went to my place and said: my computer is absolutely perfect... This chap Mark said he also is an employee of Microsoft, which I highly doubt. He asked me to download something that my antivirus detected as virus...

  I would like to ask microsoft to focus on this

  Its fake. Ignore it. There are a lot of posts here, saying: it's a scam. And this has nothing to do with Microsoft. And MS (and everyone else) are aware of this

• Vista on the computer using hp laptop and when office comes to the screen after start, all icons and programs are amplified.

  This just happened to new start-up of three days. Prior to this time everything worked very well. Also it some dialog boxes asking to click to launch an application platform that we know nothing about. We have looked for answers and went to the Control Panel, easy access and off Magnifier. But it is magnified. All icons and applications and the magnified programs.are. No new programs have been installed, no fonts won't changed, none of the DPI changed by us. . Some have suggested to go into the registry, but I'm not here. There are available restore points to restore. I don't know why there are no restore points.  Even went in safe mode and couldn't find the restore point. Our solutions may be next = copy data, use the restore disk, and all reinstall. GOSH, there must be an easier than treatment... Or go to the computer repair shop. Suggestions? Please, I beg you!

• Unable to play media, source and program windows empty

  I have Adobe CS Production Premium installed 5.5 and generally operating at 100% of features on a computer Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) (AMD FX-8150, 16 GB of RAM, 200 + GB of free space on the disk). For the second time recently, I ran into a problem where the source and program windows/frames does not display my video clips or sequences at all; as usual I double clicked an item in my frame of window/project to modify something or open a sequence of reading, and I get nothing. (Screenshot below.) By clicking on the play button after a few minutes can lead to hearing some audio, but it does not always work, and it is very delayed, sometimes by minutes. This happens through all of my projects, so it does not appear to be linked to an individual, and it keeps restarting.

  I'm not sure what I did to heal the problem the first time around; It seemed just to get over. Nevertheless, does very difficult editing, and I'm about to start a new project...

  No idea how to solve this problem, or at least what might be at the origin of this?

  For this kind of problem, I suspect the graphics driver.

• some of my (links) shortcut in the start menu programs are "empty". How can I fix the problem? Ron

  Links to programs on the start menu appear as "empty" when I run the mouse over them.  I've recreated some of them, but it's not the biggest problem of why it happened in the first place.  Help, please.  Win XP Pro SP3 IE 8.0 Dell Dimension 2400.

  Hi RonaldPease,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         What do you mean by "links to programs on the start menu appear as"empty"when I run the mouse over them"?

  ·         You are able to launch programs by clicking on them?

  Perform a system restore and check if the problem persists.

• Each exe file I open me gives a "corrupted file... run chkdsk', but the analysis of virus and malware are clean?

  Hello

  I'm completely puzzled here. When I started my computer today I got a notification saying one of the start-up programs exe file has been corrupted. I think that "uhoh". Then my antvirus software is dΘmarre with the same and I get the notification that I'm not running and antivirus. Then I realize counts all exe files I click gives me the error "file is corrupted... Please run chkdsk" appear in the taskbar. At this point, I am thinking virus or malware.

  Some programs still work even with the corrupted message, but every exe, whether old or newly downloaded, will give me this corrupt message. Also, when I tried to reinstall my anti-virus, he wouldn't. (I'm under Avast Internet Security Pro).

  I found myself downloading AVG free and for some reason any that exe is not being corrupt. So I at least have a running antivirus software now.

  I scanned my whole system with AVG with the latest virus definitions, and it sees no virus. I run only Malwarebytes with the latest updates... nothing there either.

  Is my computer clean? For me this seems unlikely, but there is something that is not a virus or malicious software that could cause this?

  Also, I started in safe mode, and it makes exactly the same thing. Each exe is corrupt when I open it.

  I am all of these ideas, except to the reformat.

  Thank you

  Mike

  I don't see you mention on running "chkdsk".
  So, do you?

  How to run the check disk (chkdsk)... assuming you are using Vista

  Start button > Search box, type cmd > look up, right-click on cmd.exe > Run As Administrator >

  in the black and white window, at the command prompt flashes, type chkdsk/f/r > press the Enter key.
  Note: there is a space between 'chkdsk' and ' / '.
  The screen will say something like cannot do it now, but you want to run it on reboot. Click on 'y' as in Yes > press > window cmd of output.
   
  Restart your computer. It will take a while. DO NOT stop the machine. Just wait.

• Can manage Windows XP Home Edition of Windows 8? Get the error codes for the security updates (0 x 643). ALL through Microsoft Tech INFECTED with the virus and Trojans tried. I need help BADLY. Thank you.

  I tried every thing blessed with technology microsoft... always hanging in limbo here.  Tired of doing constant comprehensive analyses, etc. in order to remove the constant threats.  Apparently my McAfee can't stay with her either.  Need help with the download/repair these seeds as soon as possible.  Thanks to all those who wish to help me - it would be that popular, for sure!

  The question makes no sense.

  "Can manage Windows XP Home Edition of Windows 8?"

  Two problems: there is no Windows 8 and even if there were, Windows XP Home Edition would not not 'manage '.  ;-)

  I drop McAfee for a few different freeware products.  Or better yet I'd get two products 'cost' (~ 25 and 60 dollars) and install them and use them in the future - but WHEN you are trying to clean up.

  You seem like you maybe sincerely - at a time when a format/install of Windows XP/patching/installation of applications/patch/restore backups of your data is the best course of action.

  However, if you are willing to work - maybe we can at least get things cleaned up to a certain point where you can get a good backup before doing this (otherwise avoid doing all together.)

  In the order shown, do not jump (no matter what you do, what you have done in the past, etc.) ...

  First of all - download, install, operate and put to update and then run a full system scan with the following two (one at a time, reboot in-between):

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  After you perform a full scan with one then the other and remove anything they have all two are completely, you can uninstall these products, if you wish.  This initiative will allow to check there is no malware floating around your system which could cause problems.  If you ask - no, Norton probably does not protect you from what these applications can find.

  Download and run the MSRT tool manually:

  (Ignore the details and download the tool to download and save to your desktop, run it.)

  Reset.

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  Reset.

  Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):
  (Windows XP 32-bit: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3 - x 86 .exe )
  (Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

  Reset.

  and...

  Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
  http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
  ... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on the root of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

  Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.

  AutoScan--> RUN and type:
  %SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
  --> Click OK.

  (If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...

  Reset.

  Now, open Internet Explorer, visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and do a CUSTOM search for updates.  Install any critical/high-priority ones and - for now - to ignore all those in option (always do this for material updates optional here.)
