    It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check

    Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

  • Trying to create a bootable USB I get message error "ISO image selected is NOT a valid ISO file.

    Questions of ISO image

    I'll try to find a way to install Win 7 64 bit Pro - on multiple (without a DVD player) netbooks and thought I had found the solution using DigitalRiver to upload a picture ISO of the OS - then (using the MS Windows 7 DVD/USB tool) - create a BOOTABLE usb key?

    However, yesterday I downloaded the image ISO (http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65805/X15-65805.iso)

    (which, according to the website of souce was supposed to be 3 GB in size - but was 2 GB in size (WHY?)

    And on the use of the tool USB - a got a message error "ISO image selected is NOT a valid ISO file"

    -What this means and what I can do to work around this problem?

    And, I think - that this procedure works with a "corporate license"?

    Tried - same result - the file is obviously corrupt
    I ended up using a previous download that works!

    I get this error message whenever I try to open a Word of my email document

    Hello

    1 are there any changes or updates made on the computer?

    2. not the problem only occurs for a specific document or all documents?

    3. are you able to open documents saved on the computer without any error message?

    4 are you facing this problem to a particular email?

    Method 1:

    I suggest that you try to download and save the document on your computer and then try to open it and check if it opens.

    Method 2:

    You can try to create a new user profile and check if the problem persists.

    To create a new profile, you must first create a new user account. When the account is created, a profile will also be created.
     
    Reference:

    Create a user profile.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account

    Method 3:

    Also start a Microsoft security online on the computer Scanner and check.

    Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

  • "FileFormatConverters.exe is not a valid Win32 application".

    I'm on a computer running Windows XP Professional and that you want to open an Excel 2007 using Excel 2003 file and I said I need to download and run a program of conversion of Microsoft.  When I try to run the program I get the following message: "FileFormatConverters.exe is not a valid Win32 application".  I have all the updates that are required for Windows XP and Office on my computer and don't know what to do next.  I also tried to run the program by saving the first file and running right from the download process.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    I solved the problem.  I downloaded the program using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer 8 and had no problem installing fileformatconverters.exe

    I don't know why IE8 has caused me problems.

    It worked for me, too.  What does say to Microsoft when you use a competing product to download a hotfix from Microsoft on a set of Microsoft software?

Obviously, I couldn't have been using my computer and opening existing as an Excel document files and the Explorer window that is currently open if this were true!  Everything I run worked fine, until suddenly something I try to open opens more and gives me one of the errors above.  This does not happen when I run mode without failure.

    I managed to repair some of the damage generated by the CloudShield, including how it has disabled my task manager and other programs of the Control Panel, in what I could find on registry cleaning and removing the exe file that he had pointed to. There is clearly something wrong again. I run sfc/scannow and tried the other recommendations in "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833" who have found no problem.  I use Zonealarm and have run its auditor of the filesystem a couple of times (on the entire Program Files folder and the Temp files) and not found anything wrong either.
