Hi I'm not a wiz kid so any help would be helpful thanks

It is very difficult to try to help you with so little information, but one of the first things that you should consider in these circumstances is that you can be infected by the malware. What anti-virus program and what anti-spyware program you are running? If they are updated?

For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do not run more than one) of the following three:
 
Avira AntiVir
Avast
Microsoft Security Essentials
 
You also need anti-spyware software (even if you run a program like Microsoft Security Essentials, with anti-spyware feature integrated into it). I recommend that you download and install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (freeware)

    Original title: Restart the computer

    Hello

    My old Compaq desktop computer has been slow to start in the morning and recently when I went to turn it on, it got stuck on the boot sequence, and it restarts just after the initial start-up. He never Windows logo or the login screen. I tried to use recovery disks of Lenovo's laptop of my husband as an attempt to get something to work on, but nothing helps, my computer continues to restart loop way. My daughter has tried to do something with the BIOS setting, which did not affect the issue. Rather than restart suddenly, the blue screen of death appears and then it restarts.

    Any help?

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD (sale at retail or OEM integrators), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    2. you use security software?
    3. did you of recent changes to the computer?

    A possible reason for this problem is that you have installed entirely or partially on the PC security software conflict. Remove all other computer security software.

    Method 1:


    Uninstall program anti-virus and check if it helps.

    How to uninstall antivirus or antispyware programs?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/how-do-i-uninstall-antivirus-or-antispyware-programs

    Important: 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.

    Method 2:

    1. to run, the PC must be on and connected to the internet (it cannot be stopped, "standby mode", hybrid sleep or Hibernate mode)
    2. saving settings must be such that the PC not to close or to go asleep during analysis.
    3 analyses do not begin precisely when demand - some may start earlier or later than the officially set time hour (according to Microsoft servers and charges at the time).

  • "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!

    So, my computer has a virus moneypak and ontop of the said virus pro safety. And I can't download any anti-virus scan malware to get rid of them due to my failure of security scanning.

Whenever I click it, it says "You don't have the right permission to open" (my security essential has been like that for maybe a week now. and I just received today two viruses) while I try to uninstall, but it won't allow me because of something not having the right to access and contact an administrator.

    Hello

    What changes have been made on your machine for there to be a black screen with a cursor?

    Rather than doing a clean install of your operating system, I suggest you do the following.

    Step 1:

    Remove all external devices (printer, USB flash drive), as appropriate, and start your computer again and check.

    Step 2:

    If this is little help, start your machine in safe mode and check if it starts on the desktop.

    What type/model of CPU do you have in your host? Make sure that in the case of an Intel - "Virtualization technology (VT - X)" as "Execute Disable Bit (XD)" - are "enabled." In the case of an AMD processor, it's 'No Execute (NX)' which must be enabled. Make sure that you turn on the host after changing any of these settings in the BIOS, a simple reboot may not be enough.

    If this does not resolve the problem, please join the virtual machine vmware.log file to a response message.

    Hi Jeff,

    To make a long story short

    I managed to get access to the limited WARRANTY statement today after a long session with the customer. Confusion with the login resulted from the long period of time since the purchases and long-lost information. I was trying to login to LWS with my own personal login and not the original credentials are most well-known. When I logged on adobe.com with my personal login, he showed the 2 products saved on my account, so the confusion as to why I could not access the LWS. The products were actually recorded under the account of the company under the long-lost login that I managed to pick it up today.

    However, there was always a hurdle. Because we asked digital media with the initial purchase (DVD set), I was told that we don't have access to download the content. At the purchase we thought that we had to pay extra for the DVD media as an additional layer of protection against future problems), certainly never well that pay extra for disks, would be to ban content from Adobe downloads. Uh, won't make this mistake again.

    So, with the discs original picked up from the office, I managed to install the Design Premium on my new computer. It seems that the only downside of the installation from the original disks vs download since the LWS is it seems I can't update anything, if I try to update just said that there are no updates available at this time. I guess that updates are no longer available, where to download the LWS is probably completely up to date with some bugs came after the media.

    That said, we decided to improve the Design Premium to CS6 and I expect an answer by e-mail on their part so I can complete the transaction.

    Thanks so much for your help in this matter, because without it, I would probably be laying on the ground, screaming and pulling my hair out now!

    Kind regards
