Microsoft says they can't help me. Failure possible HDD or bios.
I'll start from the beginning and I'll try to be brief. The first question that's happened 3 weeks ago. I first noticed that I couldn't open my antivirus (malwarebytes). Once I started studying, I found I could not download anything (including USB) or access my hard drive in any way including the files that would be on my hard drive. as no adjustment. Thinking it was a permission problem, I found that I still had the same permissions that I always be admin. The drive no longer shows an owner and the hidden admin account can't do more than my normal admin. System Restore tells me I am missing a driver and cannot be restored. all the restore points are also nonexistent. Pierce only I had was I could download many things in safe mode. not after Microsoft has used remote access on my computer 3 days in a row they informed me that they could not solve the problem and they believe that it is the HDD or bios based according to diagnostic tests they received I've ever had the results to.
Now this brings me here. I do everything on computers and tried but failed to update the bios. I checked the hard drive for physical problems that i didn't see no also no strange noises. EPSA came no defects anywhere on PC
OK, so it's a bunch of information, I'll post my specs below, and I'll watch the thread if anyone has questions or possible solutions to this gaggle of problems.
Computer: Alienware Aurora R4
OS: Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit
BIOS: A07
hard drive: seagate barracuda 3000Go
Processor: intel i7-3820
not sure if you need all this or something more.
Did you search for malware?
Have you checked the Device Manager for any item (s) material that can be reported?
Since it works in Mode safe, it's clearly a software problem. So now that the files are saved on your laptop, you can wipe the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows.

Microsoft technical support can't help you with the faulty Modules Installer.
I have pleasures with support by e-mail dated December 18 and the subject of some updates that caused the Windows Modules Installer to stop working. Here are the steps that have been taken so far:
1. reboot the failet installation service.
2 direct download of Trustinstaller.exe and Trustinstaller.reg.
3. transfer of support tech System Info of MSINFO32.
4 Indentifcation updates specific causing the crash of the installer of Modules and make a direct download of them.
5 reset Internet Explorer options and disabling third-party browser extensions.
6 direct download of the tool.
7 supply tech with screenshots of SFC.exe and CheckSUR.log.
8 run the SFC/scannow command to request of the tech. Error message received after scan 25% over that he can't finish.
9. made by tech to perform an in Place Upgrade of my installation disks. Update could not happen due to Windows PowerShell.
10. made by tech to remove Windows PowerShell via "Turn Windows features on or off." Error message that PowerShell cannot be disabled.
11. realized by tech to modify the registry to disable the PowerShell. In Place Upgrade always reports installed PowerShell and would not continue.
12. looked for Windows PowerShell among the "installed updates". There is no update labeled "Windows PowerShell" listed.
So that is where I am now. Windows Update did not work except for the occasional definition for Microsoft Security Essentials update since mid-December. No security updates or patches cannot install properly by the installer of Modules of Windows crash. I can't repair my installation of Windows because I can't uninstall Windows PowerShell. If someone is able to help, please keep in mind that I read all the posts about how to uninstall Windows PowerShell through the registry and installed updates; None of them have worked for me; so please don't cut and paste these instructions again.
Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Updates do not install, if my story on Microsoft says they are.
When I check my story on microsoft it shows the installed updates have not been installed on my computer on the list of my computer (that I can remember plus how to find right now!). It's not little, my list is filled with errors.
I tried to free up space because I constantly get the message that I am running low on virtual memory space. Internet Explorer is also freeze all the time. I didn't know if these updates, what I don't get are related to all the other problems I encounter.
I was wondering also how long updates must be kept, I have updates which dates back to 2006, I can keep them forever, or can they be deleted?

I received files in zip format that I downloaded. However, when I click on the file to open it, I get a box that says "application not found" and I am not able to access the files.
Can someone help me understand what is happening and why I can't download files moreHi Barbara,
1. is the specific issue confined to zip files?
2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
3. is there any software zip file that is installed on your computer?
First of all, I suggest you try to access a different zip file and check if you are able to open. This will help us know if the problem is with the zip file special or the application.
I suggest you do a right click on the particular file and select extract and check if you are able to access the particular file.
See the following for more information Microsoft article.
Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
Hope that the information provided is useful.

Of nowhere, my printer started to print things off the internet extremely small. The printer copies and prints of my Microsoft Word file things very well. I called Epson and they said it was a browser issue and I have no way to communicate directly with Mozilla, which is very frustrating. I started to go back to school and desperately need my printer to work. Someone wanted me to pay $106 yesterday to fix the phone and I just can't afford it. Can someone help me?
The reset of the printer mentioned above may already have solved the problem, but as a follow-up in case it didn't, when you say that the page is not centered, do you mean Firefox is only using a portion of the page and leave everything else is empty? This can occur when Firefox has the information of bad paper size for your printer. Reset the saved data for your printer usually decides that.
