• where can I find a history of the computer activity?

  I found an account of my 'notebooks' activity once by accident. I am a newbie. a "friend" set up my computer for me and now I'm worried that I can be "spied". I would like to find said "activity log" yet, but can not find it no matter where I look or what I'm typing in the 'Help Center'.i have an Acer Aspire one w / mfg date of 2011/09/23, w / windows 7 starter edition.

  Hello Lisa,.

  Several parts of Windows 7, as well as individual programs, maintains the activity log of the type you describe. Search is to search the C:\ drive with the wildcard character "*" (without the quotes), like that, * .log; which returns the search results with the file extension "log". All will be searchable using the Notepad application.

  The other place to look at is the observer of events Windows, the place where Windows guard trace of all your errors and warnings. Which tends to be more technical in nature, so I don't know how useful it'll be to you, but... Go to control panel, click Administrative Tools, and then click Event Viewer when the new window opens.

  In addition, it would really help to know what you were doing when you found the activity log the first time, what applications have been opened, etc... In addition, you have reason to be suspicious? If Yes, you can turn off or at least cover any unit of web cam or video, you can have on your computer.

  Let me know if this helps you.

  Kind regards

• Stop all the computer activity so that playing a game

  How can I stop the background of all the Internet and Windows process while I play a game. It always happens that my games freeze because of some mysterious process that is running Windows Vista. In the old days, you can load files from ms - dos command set and that solved the problem

  There are software utilities that can do this, but the name of them escapes me at the moment. I would not say that in any case on current systems. The performance gain will be not sufficiently notable to make it useful and then having to manually restart the services and/or process could be a pain.

  You can launch the task (CTRL + ALT + DELETE) Manager and put an end to "Explorer.exe". This will give you some of your physical memory and the processor power, but not much.

  Looking for an online software that allows you to automate the process. I think that something in the sense of 'Game Optimizer' would give you something to go off of, be very careful scams.

  You can always kill the startup items in MSCONFIG. This way you won't have 1 million launching applications in the background when Windows starts.

  Try this:

  1. click on START

  (If you are using Windows XP...)

  2. click on run, type "msconfig" and press on enter

  (If you are running Windows Vista...)

  2 type "msconfig" and press enter
  3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries that you see are not necessary. Some examples would be qtask, pcfmon, Skype, msnmsgr, etc.

  * It won't hurt to disable them, you can easily repeat the steps and re-enable them if necessary

  Hope this helps,

  Thank you!

• Help! Account administrator - account limited - system indicates 'my computer name' listed as the administrator built-in locked out

  I accidentally deleted my domain name (or user name) name of what I thought, it was the administrator account on my computer and have had problems with this terrible OS (Windows XP Home Edition) since then.

  After reading so many different forums and comments everywhere you can imagine, I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Now, I have more administrator access nor can I make changes or install programs and am extremely frustrated.

  My account is now show as a guest, even if all my files are always available. Fortunately, the files were shared (at least this is what HP told me) don't know if I believe that all they said.

  When I fell net user list all users on my computer, there is NO listed administrator account. I see my guest account, another account I have on the system with limited access and four other records that don't make sense. I also tried to access the account of SafeMode several times and still don't see it.

  This is the information that is collected from the command net user:

  The user shows my "name of the guest account; Full name is empty; Comment watch "of the computer or to the domain administrative account"; Active account, '' Yes. '' Membership in a local group, "Administrators"; Membership of a global group, 'none '.

  So, I did a search on the Internet looking for more answers and came across a Web site that lists a likely solution (something new) because I assumed it was a registry problem (HP something else advised, in addition to the OS being corrupt, trying to add the administrator account), bringing my departure to HKEY_Classes_Root to check permissions for each user and possibly add permission for my so-called Administrator and guest account.

  So I went to check the users listed in the registry under HKEY_Classes_Root and find the names of users or groups:

  1. administrators ("my computer name" \Administrator)

  2 creator owner - no

  3 system

  4. the user ('my computer name' \users).

  So I followed the instructions and when it came to the part 'Search now', I clicked on the button to find the user accounts on my computer and found the following:

  Administrator - "my computer name.

  Comments (shows red (X))

  Guests (network)

  Help Wizard (shows red (X))

  Helpservers (network service)

  HP_Owner (interactive logon remotely)

  'Username guest' (service)

  "Another user name" (system)

  and some other user... information irrelevant.

  Now, I have a virus on the "another user name account" that I can't remove nor can I feed my antivirus because of the problem of the Administrator program. I also tried to save my files online and can not do it because I can not install any programs due to... Yes, the question of the administrator.

  Can someone please, please tell me what can be done to fix this? I'm at my wits end. I don't think that it requires my withdrawal, repair and reinstall my BONES together. There have a solution to this problem. And I hope that's not the same answers as I read in so many forums that seem to give the same answer over and over again. Also, I apologize if I look a little rough, but I'm so very frustrated with this XP thing. I had multiple computers and different systems of BONE, which I've NEVER had any problems, but this XP thing is by far the worst I've ever seen in the history of my experiences with many computers.

  Help, please!

  I understand your frustration.  However, one of the hardest parts to try to provide technical support through a forum like this (or by e-mail or phone even) communicates with precision between the problem and the person trying to help. Although your message is long, it raises more questions than it provides information.

  For example:

  I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Windows XP Home Edition, indeed there is a built-in Administrator account, but by default it is only available in Mode without failure.  Somehow, you managed a rename this account in all what you mean by , (b) accessible in normal mode, (c) leave it in the administrator group, but d remove administrative privileges on account of.

  In addition, I don't know where you looked under .  As far as I know, there is nothing on the permissions of the user.  This website has the instructions you followed?

  I suspect that the cause of your problem may be 'the' virus (there may be several) which has infected your computer, rather than what you did to your user account.  If you are able, I suggest to run each of the following free applications:

  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: malwarebytes.org [update after installation]

  SUPERAntiSpyware: superantispyware.com [update after the installation or the use of theportable version , which needs no installation]

  Multi-AV - Instructions here:http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/09/scan-your-computer-with-multiple-anti-virus-for-free/

  Although you're probably right, that reinstalling Windows is not necessary, it is the solution of many remote (including those in the forums like this) fall back on when he cannot understand what is happening.  At this point, your best option would be to take your computer to a competent local professional (not a type of BigComputerStore/geeksquad of the place) and let someone actually watch.  Tell them that you do not want to reinstall Windows.

  Ask them if they can do a "repair installation" instead (although this cannot fix things in the case of a serious viral infection).  The difference between a repair facility and a 'clean install' or 'restore factory settings' is that the last two options delete all your data and all the applications you installed since you bought the computer.  A repair installation - if this works as expected - keeps the data and applications.  But it's always a good idea to back up the data before you do anything like that.

  Hi Tsaton,
   

  Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums, since it is linked to the issue in Windows Server 2008 machine. Appropriate in instances of Windows Server.

  Please post your question in the Forums of Windows Server.

• Our processor was reversed and now even if we have internet, other operations on the computer are unusable or very limited.

  Last night, our processor has been spilled and although he fell very hard, we have no audio data, we are unable to change the screen resolution, and we are unable to turn on our safety Center, among other things that bothers. We have access to the internet. I have checked the cables and connections but can't find nothing obvious. We need to operate the computer in safe mode. Any help would be most appreciated. Elen

  Hi Elen,

  1. what happens when you start in normal mode?

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  This can also occur if the cables and cards are not connected correctly. You can check if the cables and cards are connected correctly.

  Hope this information is useful.
