• How do access you the list of programs that start when you start your computer?

  How do access you the list of programs that start when you start your computer?

  First of all, note that you should be concerned all the programs
  starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
  Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
  Status bar.

  On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
  Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
  Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
  Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
  work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
  Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

  However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
  the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
  You should be concerned, not with the way that a lot of these programs
  you run, but who. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
  others have no effect on performance.

  Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
  is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
  the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
  Internet search and ask questions about the details here.

  Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
  decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

• Microsoft calls customers to warn them that their computer is showing defects?

  I was contacted twice in the last 3 days of a call center, claiming that they are from Microsoft and they discovered that my computer is showing the flaws. I asked them to send me an email instead and warned, I got her phone number and should be to the police.
  I suspect that it is a phishing scam. Who would have my phone number with regard to my computer?
  Somehow I can check, I'm not wrong and look into this further?

  It is not Microsoft and whatever they are, they try to rip you off. Search in this forum for the words scam and the phone.

  If they call again just tell them that you don't even have a PC. See how fast they cling.

  Nothing happens.  The download is incomplete and the updates are not installed.  The next time you go on the site to update or the next time that your automatic updates are are that the updates will be downloaded again.

• "Sorry, your computer has encountered an error and needs to restart. We are only collecting the error information, and then we'll restart for you. "windows 8

  Hi so I recently bought a new computer and out of no where he worked in some really annoying errors. This has happened three times, I can't understand a reason yet, AFAIK, it occurs randomly. A few times I start up my computer and it starts just the windows icon, the loading circle is not displayed. If I let it run it will remain still frozen. After a few reboots, he says still 'preparation auto repair' is still frozen. This has happened 3 times.

  The first time I have not jumped into the recovery CD, no problem, used a system restore, it was all good.

  The second time, she actually had a cause, our power went out and my pc was used, then maybe he could have ruined a circuit. So I put the CD, it wouldn't recognize it and if he did, he would freeze just and nothing to do. I tried F8, F12 and F1: he didn't even recognize these keys or react at least based on them.
  After a few restarts I miraculously managed to do recognize the CD and this time I made a cooling system.
  This lead me to think it might be some of my files/programs, but I'm still working on acquiring them all back after the update so I think it is unlikely that. 3rd time: yet once, it happened when I turned it on after a normal closed. It would not recognize the cd or the keys. After maybe 15 attempts, but rather oddly, everything was OK? I also noticed that my Tablet Wacom Intuos 5 is connected it will not start, but if I unplug it, it starts very well. (Driver error?)

  All this is fine and dandy, I can deal with it, but not until recently that error in the title stood. I noticed, that it normally occurs when the computer is in "sleep" or the monitor turns off because it is inactive. If I move the mouse to bring on the monitor, it is just a bright blue solid then the following message: "sorry, your computer has encountered an error and needs to restart. We are only collecting the error information, and then we'll restart for you"appears and it stops. Whenever this happens, it starts up just fine, it is just annoying it encounters this error whenever I use it. I tried to do system recoveries, but it did not help. I can just do a reset or refreshment, but again once I do not want this effort and to lose files if the error is still going to happen. I'm not sure if this is a hardware error, heating, maybe? But I'm not all that experience in these things. As I said, this computer is fairly new, maybe 2 months, then maybe I could just put its warranty policy to use. But if you can think of anyway to help, it would be great thanks!

• Vista SP1 does not update problems and System Restore returns a message "system restore was not entirely successful. File system and the setting of your computer has not changed"with the error code (0x80071AA7)

  0rignal title: Vista SP1 didn't update problem

  So, recently, I was on my computer of gf and noticed she had some updates, it could use his computer which included the SP1 update.  So I went through the process trying to update his computer and he has been a disaster and have had many problems and seems to have tried everything.  It has a Dell inspiron 1525 and has no CD and no key for its program of Vista.  I burned a Vista recovery disk and tried troubleshooting by using that, but have not had much luck.  When I use the Startup Repair tool there is no nothing.  So I tried to use the restore of the system with the Description of "install: Windows Vista Service Pack 1.  He had a restore point saved just before I tried to update to SP1.  Whenever I chose this method, it's but the whole process then in the end it says:

  "System restore was not entirely successful.  File system and the setting of your computer have not changed. "

  then he begins to list the details with the error code (0x80071AA7) and then gives me the option to close or 'Run System Restore"once again that is an endless loop, because I just end up with the same error each time.  If anyone has had this problem and bring myself through it.  I don't want to reinstall windows because it seems simply ridiculous and plus that she a lot of pictures on his computer and I want to get rid of those.

  If you need more information please let me know and evil provides everything I can

  Hello
   
  Follow the steps and check if the problem persists.
   
  Step 1:
   
  I suspect that your security program may be responsible for this. I would suggest you temporarily disable all security software and try the system restore.
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
   
  Note : Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Step 2:
   
  As for installing updates is concerned, I you should install them after you put your computer in aclean boot State. There could be a third-party software in conflict with updates. Clean boot helps eliminate these conflicts.
   
  Note: Restart your machine as usual by following step 7.

  You must save your stuff important on an external and reinstall your entire system since the manufacturer's recovery partition. You can find instructions for this on the site of manufacturer support.

  If you have no recovery partition, follow...

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  Immediately after having re-installed, the next task is to make all Windows, including SP1 updates if your floppy drive or the partition recovery date before the service pack.

  Then install your antivirus solution. Avoid using McAfee or Norton. It is a good solution, free and easy to use...

  Microsoft Security Essemtials... http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows/products/security-essentials

  OK so far?

  Then, change the passwords for all programs that interact with the Internet... This includes Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Skype etc.

  When you create a password, do NOT use real names and use a combination of numeric characters and alphabet, up and down case. It must be complex enough so that he could not be found in a dictionary, but not quite complex that you don't remember it...

• Is there an assistant who can detect if your computer has the configuration for Premiere Elements?

  My question must be explicit. I plan to buy Premiere Elements and I have a computer of Windows XP from 2007. I went in the (very long) list requirements and updated updated my graphics driver, but this is inherited or vintage, at this point, more there are still things that I'm not sure. I also have a laptop Win7 age of 6 months.

  Only, it would be much easier if there is a way for Adobe to detect if my systems will support this.

  Suggestion of Steve to try the trial, is as good as it gets. That will tell you if your computer is up to the task.

  Also and as Steve mentions, the Source footage will dictate the equipment you need for a pleasant editing experience.

  According to my experience, the publication of "requirements" is about as low as it gets, and will be generally allow to install and launch the program. I campaigned for Adobe to publish 'real world' minimum specifications., but that different types of film Source may require a toll on processing power, whoever is only the material edition DV SD, captured by a camera of miniDV Tape, will be able to get by with less than someone trying to edit AVCHD, or any other version of H.264 material.

  I think that Steve did a great job at the level of the minimum specifications of real world plan. in the Appendix of his pre books. I wish that Adobe adopt those with published minimum system requirements.

  If you run dxdiag.exe (Start > Run > dxdiag.exe) and the specifications of the list. your computer, someone here can help you determine if you have the power. Also, please let us know the type of material that you want to change.

  Good luck and let us know more about your laptop, as well as how the test works for you.
