  I tried to open it with windows defender, but continue to get the message that the application is disabled. I can't find the application or program on my computer to uninstall and re install to try to circumvent the app. I went to the application and is not here. So I hope that someone can help me. I want to run it in the hope of her to help me with another problem error I get driver Irql. This message returns constantly to the top and its driving me crazy trying to find a way to fix it also. I would appreciate any help any of these problems.

  Hey Leejones

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  For you explain windows defender is built this antivirus program in windows 8. When you install a third-party antivirus program, automatically the windows Defender will be disabled and you will not be able to turn it on, until and unless you uninstall the third-party antivirus software.

  Please refer to the below section of Wiki mentioned by Stephen Boots

  I used the tool cutting since the installation of Windows 7 last year.

  Suddenly, I can find no trace of the tool cutting on my PC.
  Where can we go?
  How can I get it back?

  Find someone with a Windows 7 computer and copy the Snipping tool.exe from their computer. Copy it to the Windows\System32 folder.

  Let us know if that helps.

• Cannot find the Windows.old folder in my drive and therefore not able to go back to XP to 7.

  I read the article on "How to get back to a previous version of Windows" : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971760/
  I use Windows 7 Ultimate beta and found this irritating and much lower than XP. He has a lot of bugs and compatibility issues. It crashes every two hours and I lost many of my personal. So, I wanted to go back to my old XP by a clean uninstall of 7. When I inserted the CD at BOOT XP and pressed a button (as guest), he did not. He just started normally.
  Then I inserted within 7, but the gray tab XP installation ! Then I looked far from a solution of Microsoft and went to the link (above). It is said that I need the windows.old file back. But I'm not. I searched all my readers but could not find it. When I typed windows.old in the pavement of research (to the c:\ drive), 4 files are released: file:///D:/Windows/winsxs/x86_microsoft-windows-a..oldertool.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_en-us_111994699d72a71f/ two other similar to the present and a MUI file.
  Does this mean I do not have the windows.old file and therefore cannot go back to XP. Windows 7 will be released soon and I use the RC version. and so my version will expire soon. WHAT CAN I DO NOW?
  If there isn't a way, I'm sorry to say that I would be looking forward to the next new Google Chrome OS. I love Microsoft Windows for their sincere services. Please help me and do not let me down...

  The only time where you can roll to an earlier version of Windows during installation is when configuring real itself. He has no other choice after installing Windows 7 to return to your previous installation within the OS itself. You have manually will reinstall it.

• Cannot find the Windows 7 platform

  Was impressed when I saw for the first time Windows 7 on the dock that you could organize and add icons instead of using typical desktop icons.  It almost made the computer looks like a Mac.  My hard drive on the flat after that 3 weeks and when I got the replacement, I could not find the dock.

  Windows 7 does not come with the "dock" you are referring. Maybe you use a PC/computer Dell laptop and had the "Dell Dock" software installed?

• Cannot find the Windows 7 Desktop in VMWare Fusion

  Hi all

  I installed VMWare Fusion on my mac.  Works very well.  However, I can't find my windows desktop.  The only thing I can find is Internet Explorer.  I know when I installed it, I clicked on something after the small bar at the top of the screen, but I can't remember what.  Now, in VMWare fusion window, under Windows7, it shows only a gray screen with an icon of recycle bin on it.

  Any thoughts?

  Looks like you spent at the sight of the unit.

  Just move your mouse up to the center of the screen and should display the VMware Menu and then click on the view menu and select full screen or single window or you can open the menu either VMware Fusion application on OS X, Windows applications menu bar or Dock VMware Fusion tile with a ctrl-click.
