keep the system safe
What should I use to keep my windows from viruses? Also my USB and hard drive. I not require a virus if I use Microsoft Security Essentials?
Personally, I use Microsoft Security Essentials and it works fine. You can use it to analyze your local drive and thumb drives.
To scan a USB using Microsoft Security Essentials:
Plug it in
Open Computer (Start menu)
Right click on the USB
Click Scan with Microsoft Security Essentials.

Is it possible to defragment AND keep the system restore points to lose in Win XP?
Sometimes my system restore points disappear and I have learned to rely on them. I heard that defragmentation can erase the system - something to do with the Windows shadow copy service restore points. Is there a safe way to defragment a hard drive (internal or external) WITHOUT losing any system restore points: both those created manually as well as automatically created? I have a lot of disk space and all criticalWindows updates. No malware. CHKDSK not display any errors.

I really thank you goes out all the time and difficulties that you have not only to explain my problem but at the arrive at a solution that has worked for you. I already read the CNET critical user of and download Ultimate Defrag, but have not yet installed it because I have a few questions that may be critical to my getting the same wonderful performance you met. Not wanting to - by my own ignorance - replace one problem with another, can I ask if you know where I can find these answers? :
(1) my PC has 1 G of RAM an and a Pentium 4 processor, a desktop Dell 8 years. Have I not enough resources for the programme of work?
(2) I have two internal HDs - a bunch of 80 G and 40 G Data - with a 1 t external for backups. Will I be possible to defragment one at a time so that a period of 8 hours at night will give the app some time to run and complete - especially the first time I use it on every HD?
(3) a review mentions a setting from the default installation for those who have my knowledge minimum tech. Is it choose a wise move in my case? I only will give non-essential options or options I'd understand even when doing this?
(4) I need to turn off WinPatrol (Start Menu Manager) and install my Avast AV in addition to all the normal precautions for cleaning?
(5) should I disconnect from the internet before installing (I have a shortcut on the desktop that allows me to turn off my DSL modem)?
(6) can the program itself or its installer to run in Mode safe and which is preferred? Of course, I would create a prior restore point I have restart mode without failure.
(7) a critic says that the 50-page help document is of no use to someone with my limited knowledge. Is there a training video or another type of help?

I keep the system of file/folder in Windows 7... It will change anytime soon (Windows 8)?
There will be a choice/option to know if yes or no users will want to use the old system XP/Vista-folders/files in Windows 8? You are familiar with the old addage, "DON'T FIX it NOT... IF it IS NOT BROKEN! "The old system had its good and bad points and good high point was its ability to drop and drag... to fairly well set up their own system of folder/file in no time at all for me. Also, I have problems with the system of file/folder skip around in the Navigation pane. When I click on an element of the page jumps to the bottom of the window... pulling everyting from the top down. Work real irratitating. There is a way no possible way to organize the files or photos by drag - move. I was using either digital or the method alphabeticle of the organization... sometimes both and a reference. It takes longer now. A little longer. I could go on and, but you get the general idea. So, I think that a choice for those who are accustomed to the old XP/Vista method and those who must work with the newest Windows 7, would be grateful to have and enjoy the ability to have the choice between the two methods. It would be a great and welcome addition. Those who are accustomed to the folder/file system Windows 7 would not change. And those he wish they had the old system at their disposal would have this choice. Come on Ms... Eliminate the negative and add to the odf positive side of the new Windows 8. You asked for ideas... Well, I'm throwing this one in the ring. "GET EERrrr DONE!", Bye, BPAlaska

How can I delay and keep the system running?
Hi all
I have two functions in the order shown:
DoTest1();
Delay (6.0); 6 seconds behind.
DoTest2();
After DoTest1() function, my intention is to delay 6 seconds before DoTest2() function. However, Delay (6.0) also stops test system to generate 1 second timer pulses to UUT and prevents WEAR it to work. I realized that when I replaced "Delay (6.0) with the function"MessagePopUp"and I tell the operator to wait for 6.0 seconds, it works (or test passes).»
My question is "is there a function that would delay for a certain time before you perform a specific task, but still not to hinder other activities take place?
Your help would be appreciated.

I'm away for a while at home. And I gave my husband the password of the main user and it turns off the family filter on the computer. Is it possible that I can ask to be extinguished with password of another computer, so it cannot turn off more?
Hi crahank,
What you can do is to define the main user as a standard user account for the changes to require the password to a different administrator account. You can follow the steps below:
Using a different administrator account on the computer:
1. click on Start, select Control Panel.
2. view by: category
3. Select user accounts and family safety, click to change the type of account under user accounts.
4. double-click on the main user who is used to disable the security for the family.
5 set for the Standard user, click apply and Ok.In case you don't have another admin user account, you can create a new using the main user, make sure that you create has a different password.
Kind regards

STOP: 0XC000021A
Can be a difficult problem to solve, and you indeed need a technical help in a real store of the computer
(not the leeks and the glances at a BestBuy or other BigBox stores) or system manufacturer support.Cause
This error occurs when a subsystem of mode user, such as WinLogon or the Client Server Run-Time Subsystem (CSRSS), irremediably compromised and security can not be guaranteed. In response, the operating system goes into kernel mode. Microsoft Windows cannot run without WinLogon or CSRSS. Therefore, it is one of the rare cases where the failure of a user mode service can stop the system.
Incompatible system files can also cause this error. This can happen if you restored your hard disk from a backup. Some backup programs may skip restoring system files which they determine are in use.
Solve the problemRun the kernel debugger is not useful in this situation because the error occurred in a user mode process.
Resolve an error in the user-mode device driver or system, third-party application service: Because the bug 0xC000021A control occurs in a user mode process, the most common culprits are third-party applications. If the error occurred after the installation of the new or updated device driver or service system, third-party applications, the new software should be removed or disabled. Contact the manufacturer of the software on a possible update.
If the error occurs during the system startup, restart your computer, and then press F8 to character-based menu that displays the choice of operating system. In the Windows Advanced Options menu that results, select the last known good Configuration option. This option is most effective when a pilot or a service is added at a time. If the error is not resolved, try to manually remove the offending software. If the system partition is formatted with the (FAT) file allocation table, use a MS-DOS boot disk to access the hard disk of the computer. If the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use Safe Mode to rename or remove the defective software. If the defective software is used as part of the start-up procedure of the system Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file. If a room newly installed if material is suspected, remove it to see if that fixes the problem.
Try running the emergency recovery disk (ERD) and allow the system to repair any errors that it detects.
Solve a problem of file system do not match: If you have recently restored your hard disk from a backup, check if there is an updated version of the backup/restore program available from the manufacturer. Make sure that the latest Windows Service Pack is installed.

Why the system restore will not work correctly?
When I run the system restore I get message saying that it did not work properly and system has not been restored at that earlier time. This has happened several times now.
Hello
If you use Norton which will cause problems with the restoration of the system; clear all by doing the system restore.
You would like to try to make the system Safe Mode restore, because that will often fix the problem:

Windows 7 - How to remove the 'system reserved' after installation
I do not have a separate HDD called system reserved in my computer. It takes approximately 100 MB of space, but I never agreed to be installed separately.
Can I format to get rid of him, or even delete or move somewhere? I do not have to reinstall Windows 7 to do this, because it takes time for all the programs to be reinstalled...
Any suggestions of what could be done without having to reinstall Windows 7 new would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know if it's possible. Thank you.
I would say that that keep the system reserved. It is a very convenient tool created by MS in case of emergency
The following link will give you a better idea: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/29fa0858-8971-413b-ba8a-d033aa6dae55

Greetings! I am very confused and need help. Looking for just my restore points.
I am interested in the protection of the system, I clicked on the system protection and under the protection option I
available from 2 discs on protection RECOVERY settings (it looks like folder sign) and OS (c :)) system)
Protection of RECOVERY: off
OPERATING SYSTEM (C :)) System Protection is enabled. I clicked on configure I activated the setting to restore system and previous version of the files. Maximum use of 2% (10,00 GB), use current 962,89 MB
Now, my question is this, if recovery protection be ON? When I click on configure, check "turn off system protection"
What is the right configuration? Help, please. I hope I'm not confusing you either.
No, do not turn on System Protection for the system recovery disk. Which is locked and should only be used when you need to do a factory restore (that reinstalls the operating system). Just keep the System Restore enabled for the system partition on which your Windows installation exist. Releasing it's easy: with Windows | ActiveWin | Laptops | Microsoft MVP

I get the following message: closing system, the system stops. Please save all work in progress and log off. All wukk unsaved changes are lost. This shutdown was initiated by authority NT\SYSTEM. The system process ' C: Windows\system 32\services.exe ended unexpectedly with status 1073741482 code. The system will now stop diwn and restart.
I tried the boot, and all the days that something did not work if today I'm the switch back to the normal startup. I tried to run a scan, but it does not have the "clean boot" State... it would also not automatic updates... so here Let's go!
I had the same problem, tried the clean boot, like Wells, and it has not fixed the problem. Please try this:
There are several steps to follow.
The first is a suggestion from one of the blogs with a slight variation.First step:
Enter safe mode. (Put in the computer market, press F8 several times until the window offering the Safe Mode option appears. Use your top and arrows to select Safe mode, and then click it.)Since the Office Safe Mode:
1. right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Properties': my computer-> properties. This opens the "System Properties" dialog box2. Select the "Advanced" tab
3. under "Startup and recovery", click on the button "settings".
4. at the bottom, in the section "System failure", see what boxes are checked. Windows XP checks them all by default.
5. click on "Automactically restart." This is probably your cause if you get automactic closures. As an alternative to optimise this method, you can, at your own discretion, also do the following:
i. uncheck "write an event to the system log.
II. check 'Send an administrative alert' (which should do more to view the sudden error rather than stop).
III. uncheck "Automactically restart."
IV. in the combo box of the section 'Write debugging information', choose '(none) '. Note that this will disable the rest under "information write Debuggin".6. your finished, then click 'Ok' to close the dialog of void and then 'Ok' again in the "System Properties" dialog box
That should do it. Some upgrade suggestions are the best propally but I think these security only handle issues related to other areas if they worth downloads of 2 to 5 hours of 56 k modem for added security. However, I find that some updates are not even for my type of installation (due to unused configuration detection?) or I do not use the services.
For more information on Tweaking, I suggest to look at "http://www.tweakxp.com" If you are a user of Windows XP.
Good luck.
Step 2:
Also in safe mode.Some of these steps have been found on the microsoft Web site. However, the following text is a little different and should translate into success. It did for me.
1) enter the Configuration of the utility system. You can do this by done safe mode right click on Start, by choosing Search, then typing in msconfig and searching the c: drive. Once the search is complete, click on one of the icons of msconfig. This will bring up The System Configuration utility.
(2) click on the tab general select Selective startup.
(3) click to uncheck the Process SYSTEM. INI file.
(4) click to uncheck the process to WIN. INI file.
(5) click to disable Load Startup items. Make sure that The Load System Services and use Original of INITIALIZATION. INI are checked.
6) click on the Services tab.
(7) click to select the hide all Microsoft Services check box.
8) click disable all, and then click OK.
(9) computer.Step 3: log in to Windows.
(1) when you receive the following message is displayed, click Select, check box don't show this message or launch the system to Windows Startup Configuration utility , and then click ok.
If this solves the problem, go to step 4. If it is not the case, then you will need support from a professional.
Step 4: find the culprit.
1) enter in the System Configuration utility (SCU for future reference.)
2) click on the Startup tab. (NOTE: If you find "audm" within the list of starting points, it is most likely the culprit.) It was for me. If it is, go to If not, go to 3).
(3) the top of the list in the start menu, check AN item, then restart the computer. Make a note of each element that starts without failure.
Repeat this step until you get the window to "Shut down NT Authority... ». This will reveal that the start point is the origin of the problem. Once found, go to 4).
(4) get in safe mode / SCU / Startup / untick the culprit.
(5) restart Windows. If this solves the problem, you are almost finished. If this isn't the case, you will need the services of a professional.Step 5: remove the culprit and the reactivation of the process.
1) go to Start / Search / and look for the item that caused the problem. (When I did a search for audm - 2 released files.)
(2) delete all files with the name of the offender and empty your trash.
3) enter the Configuration of the system - (start/run/msconfig).
(4) on the general tab, re-enable the Process SYSTEM.ini, WIN.ini processand Load Startup items.
(5) restart the computer. The problem should be solved.
Basic suggestions:
(1) ALWAYS keep a firewall- and choose the option "Open at Startup. (That's how I think that was my problem - by not having is not the Firewall opens at the beginning).
(2) perform a virus Scan is every DAY.
(3) keep all windows programs and drivers updated - every DAY.
(4) keep all antivirus programs and firewalls updated - every DAY.Good luck
