    Windows Vista security alert sending indicating virus attack and does not allow me to get security alerts.  How to bypass or disable?  I have another anti-spyware (Kapersky) program that manages all aspects and indicates no virus found.

    The 'alert' is not from Vista. Your computer is infected by a rogue security program. It's called "thugs" because he pretended to be a good guy but is really bad. Don't pay them!

    Like I said, it could be any file requiring a restore of the system to access what has been its permissions modified by malware.  If I was at that time, I would declare my compromised machine and reinstall Windows completely.  If you are determined not to reinstall, you can use a tool such as Microsoft "Process Monitor" that will display all the queue access that occur when you run the program.  You may be able to locate the file that is being denied access, but you're going to be turning to sift through a large amount of data.

    Good luck and hope this helps.

    I have computer aGateway running Vista Home Edition and something happened with WIndows Media Player.   I have the DVD/RW internal drive and external DVD/RW as a player.  I use them mainly to copy music files and it has always worked fine until yesterday.

    When I try to burn a music disc, the player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source (such as the CD or car drive).  Worked fine Saturday and had burned discs Saturday night recognizes the two drives as data drives.

    Is it something that needs to be reset or changed?

  • Is there a firefox download that does not require 7zip to extract?

    For me, 7-zip is blocked by Group Policy (which I can't control) and I want to find a full exe which is not extracted using 7zip. Several posts already evoke here goes https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to get the full download, but at least the English of the United States version for windows is NOT a "full" exe version When I run as administrator or not he starts at the window extraction, and when it is almost finished, I see the message 7-Zip program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator.

    Can someone point me to download real not requiring 7 - Zip? I'm a fan of Mozilla, but I will be forced to move to one of the two despised browsers, unless I can install without 7 - Zip.

    Please help me!

    OK... Thanks to everyone who gave me the bread crumbs to get this working. Even the developer version on the first try failed. I finally thought to do the following:

    1. open Winzip
    2. from Winzip, open the downloaded Firefox Setup 41.0.1.exe

        You'll see a core folder and Setup.exe.

    3. Select Setup.exe and use uncompress and icon.

    This runs the installer and install firefox.

    Once again thank you for all your quick response! I am now in place running with my favorite browser!

  • Windows does not when you try to copy files from a micro sd using a T-flash card

    I have never had any problems to copy files to a flash drive in the past, but recently, I encountered this problem. Windows Vista, connected to the flash player, open the folder, dragged 1 file, and copied correctly. Attempted to copy a second file and he hung up then says windows does not. I pushed cancel and it also says windows does not. He would not cancel function so I went to the Manager of tasks to complete, but without success. I had to reboot the computer, I have tried to reboot several times and tried to copy but without success. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Hello

    The same information on the key USB applies to map drives
    so do not put all the files and folders to the root of the drive.

    Have you tried the card in other card readers? Sometimes the reformatting
    the map will refresh it.

    ======================================================

    It is the troubleshooter for the readers of SD cards which of course is very similar.

    If you can not get the card reader to work, it can be replaced or an external card reader is not
    Dear.

    They go bad sometimes. Try these:

    / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 when you start then look at the screen - make sure that the USB port is enabled.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Control Panel - Device Manager - hard disk - drive SD card or similar - double click - tab driver-
    Click on update drivers (this likely will do nothing that MS is far behind the certifying drivers) then right click
    following the UNINSTALL.

    Now bring the controllers USB - right click - UNINSTALL everything in category one at time EXCEPT
    the category itself - REBOOT. This will refresh the USB driver stack.

    Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Do 1 above.

    USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices currently connected to your computer, as well as
    all USB devices that you previously used. Run Options and check the 1st three choices to see if one is
    it. you can remove all instances of the drive and restart again.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/usb_devices_view.html

    Start - type in the search box - Windows Disk - find Windows Disk Management on the list above.
    Right-click - look RUN AS ADMIN to see if there is a drive letter assigned or a conflict.

    Check with the manufacturer of your system for the updated drivers - some card readers to do not use windows
    drivers.

  • PSE 13 does not allow you to delete folders?

    I'm trying to delete files that are no longer on my computer from 13 items.  Is this possible?

    sfgfkhome wrote:

    I'm trying to delete files that are no longer on my computer from 13 items.  Is this possible?

    I understand that you deleted files from outside of the Organizer. So, you have "missing" or "disconnected" in your catalog files.

    There is no record, no file photo in the Organizer, that links (pointers) to the location of the files of your physical disks.

    What you see in the left panel display files in the Organizer is a picture of the folder tree based on the locations of files recorded in the catalog. Of course, records deleted physically (apart from the Organizer, via the Explorer/Finder) are still displayed, because the catalog has not been updated.

    What you have to do is remove the links to the missing files in the catalog. Use the menu file/reconnection of missing files. Click on the small icon in the upper part of the dialog box to open a drop-down; first select all, then delete all. All the missing files will be removed from the list of files in the catalog.

    When files are deleted from the catalog, their records do not appear in the left panel. In fact, you delete the files from the catalog, you do not delete the files.

  • New tab does not allow you to type in the URL

    When I select a new tab, that I can no longer enter a URL. I type it in and press enter and Firefox deletes it instead of going on the site. I can only choose from the dropdown list or an icon in the toolbar.

    Also when I chose Google in my toolbar and started banging, a drop-down list appears blocking my vision of what I was typing.

    I use the 40.0.3 Version and Windows 10.

    This problem may be caused by an extension that is not working properly.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • Windows 7 does not allow you to copy tapes through the USB to the computer... need help!

    I bought a cassette/converter of Grace Digital Audio Player to convert cassettes to MP3 files on my computer (HP laptop Pavilion DV 7/Windows 7 64-bit). Directions say to just plug into the USB port, press Play on the machine and press Record on the Audacity software.  It copies the music... and all the other noises in the room.  I tried to disable the microphone from the computer... but then it won't copy the music at all.  I called the manufacturer of the product through and they say it's a Windows 7 problem.  So, how can this work?  Thanks for any help you can give me...

    Hello

    Follow the steps mentioned below.

    (a) plug one end of the audio cable into the headset of your cassette player or 'Line' jack out and the other end into 'Micro' of the sound card on your computer or "Line in" jack. To avoid any possible damage sound card, use if possible 'in Line' decision and not the "Microphone".

    (b) launch Audacity and change the type of entry 'in Line' or 'Microphone', depending on what jack of the soundcard you are using. This indicates Audacity to record everything he "hears" the map of sound input. To do this, open the menu editing, then Preferences. You will then see a screen that should do what you need: use the "Device" selector to choose your entry (sound card, microphone, audio jack, etc.) and change the 'Channels' selector to choose between mono or stereo recording.

    (c) press the record button on Audacity, then press play on your cassette (red circle).

    (d) press the stop (yellow square) on Audacity when the tape is finished playing.

    (e) use the menu option "file-> export to WAV" to save your record. The WAV file can be saved on your computer, converted to MP3 or burned on a CD. Get fancy with the Audacity audio editor features: you can cut, paste and add effects easily.

    You must save a clip of ten seconds at first, so that you can play it will immediately return in Audacity (green triangle button) and make sure your volume levels is good. If the audio recorded is too strong or too static, decrease the volume of your cassette player.
