  • my lap top says off protected mode

    I GOT A MESSAGE SAYING THAT THERE ARE THREATS THAT WEIGH ON MY LAPTOP... WHEN I LOOKED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN IT SAYS DISABLED PROTECTED MODE? IF THIS SHOULD NOT BE ON... IF SO HOW DO I DO THAT. OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE?

    First of all, please do not compose a message entirely in capital letters.

    It is considered rude and screaming. It is also difficult to read for most people.

    To your question:
    The message that you and 'off' protected mode's 2 different questions.

    I can't start thinking about what should be done regarding the message "saying there have been threats that weigh on my computer"... not enough to information.

    In regard to "protected mode"...
    Open Internet Explorer > tools > Internet Options > Security tab > check the box "Enable Protected Mode (requires restarting Internet Explorer" > click OK when finished.

    My lap top began to play up with the updates of some files windows service pack 3.5 have been introduced, and I tried to speed things up with the removal of some two files old service pack.

I'm doing Defrag disk to re - configure the HDD without losing valuable records and continue to get a size of insufficient volume of about 12% to reconfigure the hard drive. I tried to remove some files more since then and things are run faster by removing a lot of material from google.

Boot from the disc newly manufactured. Run the utility to verify. If necessary, replace the HD and restore backups.

    Check that your antivirus (all-in-one suite If you have one) is not turn off your network traffic.

    Note the devices installed in the machine.  Use this information to download the latest version of the drivers and software for the manufacturer's Web site features (on another machine and store on an external support, I suppose, would be the only way for you to do.)

    Uninstall the software/drivers for network devices.  Turn it back on.  Even if pilots are found/installed automatically, manually update the drivers & software using the files you downloaded earlier.

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    Open a command prompt and run the commands following one at a time (after each ENTRY) without leaving the part through if somehting started working...  Note all errors and post them here.

  • Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

    Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
    Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

    It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

    The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.
