• Tower or disable Windows features displays the empty dialog box

  I go to control panel > programs and features and click then on "Turn Windows features on or off". I get called "Windows features" dialog box that says "Please Wait". After 45 seconds, this dialog box becomes empty and nothing is displayed.

  I ran the twice System File Checker, but it shows no problem. I did repair Startup (by pressing F8 key so that Vista boots) but the problem persists.

  As suggested on some websites of support, at the command prompt, I have ran reg delete HKLM\COMPONENTS /v StoreDirty but had "error: the system was unable to find the specified registry or the value key.

  I tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931712 and it's of no use to me.

  I can't do a system restore I don't know since when this problem started can be 1 month back or can be 6 months because previously I had no need to turn on the features of vista as an option.

  I use a stand-alone HP laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz) with Vista home premium pre-installed, and I also installed SP1. Please do not suggest format me my laptop and do a fresh install of vista that HP never gave me the operating system DVD.

  What should I do now? Help, please!

  Hey Anshul Rastogi,

  Thank you for your response.

  You are able to run updates on your system?

  If Yes please make sure you have all the updates installed on your system.

  Please see the following article to guide you through some troubleshooting steps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934538

  Please perform a system update and also walk through the troubleshooting steps in the above article and let us know if any of the two solves your problem then that otherwise we can take the next step and find a solution for you. The next step is to restore your system back a month to see if this is useful, and if not then do a restore of the system to the next restore until you find one that allows your system to the function you are eager to point.

• Enable or disable Windows features: most of them is unchecked.

  original title: Turn Windows features or not: just stumbled on this feature when uninstalling a program and noticed that most of them is unchecked.

  What would constitute the "standard/default" installed in windows for a Dell Inspiron 64 programs.   I wonder if this may be part of my problem of performance (as well as others, I'm sure). Any suggestions?  Never tried this type of help before, thought I would give it a shot

  I just read this thread and found that Kaddiff was confused at the time of its issue. His use of the term "windows" standard/default"installed programs" generated a stream of responses which fail to settle his "real"question. " Only Dax1792 seems to answered the question of "real". If you replace the word "features", "programs" the original question makes more sense in the context of the object in the header. It is also a good question that remains largely!

  The best answer by far in my humble OPINION is that, in Dax1792, but can someone do better and how the items in the list of Windows features are to be checked or unchecked if you perform a typical and not custom Windows 7 installation?

  A tee shot. Several Windows in the list features arise often in discussions about performance problems. Performance problems were clearly a concern for Kaddiff as you will see in reference to them in his message.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

• Update Windows automatically restarts the computer. I would like to disable this feature.

  Update Windows automatically restarts the computer. I would like to disable this feature. I'm running a machine business with complex projects requiring a configuration long and delicate. The details below:
  Type of operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate
  Problem: Status of the project lost after auto restart during the night
  Require: A method of disabling automatic restart after an automatic update is happening.
  Tried: I already tried looking in the registry for an appropriate key change, but no have been found appropriate.

  Aelryn,
  You can configure Windows update to meet your needs, for example, download the update and then let me choose when to install the same. This way you always get the automatic updates but you chose when and where and how to install updates at a time that is convenient.

  Then I suggest to change the Automatic Updates settings to meet the needs of PAHO.

  Choice, you can turn off to THE (not recommended), you can adjust to download updates only and allow you to install them at a convenient time, you can adjust information only, or you can leave to do what he likes.

  If you update, you must restart sometime in the case otherwise you are not protected and you might as well do not update at all. Everything is a matter of choice. One size does not fit all, so a choice can be made. I have updates informed me only, then I decide what, when and how to do to install the updates. It's my choice.

  FYI -.

• Win7 - windows fade too slow in and out; can I disable this feature?

  Hello

  I just did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit and some other programs.  This PC has only 4 GB of RAM, and it seems a bit lazy.  I noticed that when I open and close windows or dialog boxes, rather than just appearing and dissappearing different application, they just melted and melted out of sight.
  It looks nice on a system with sufficient power to deal with, but on this system, the fade in / fade on takes long enough that it's boring, and I think that it is affecting the systems overall responsiveness.
  I would like to disable this feature to see if it helps.  Can someone please tell me what we call this function and how do I do this?
  Thank you
  Paul

• "Turn on or off windows features" is disabled through local politics.

  Basically, I have a PC when I try Windows features turn on or turn off, it comes up saying I need a system administrator. I am the system administrator, I have rights to the domain. From what I understand, this is local politics, but I can't find the specific entry to activate specifically for this.

  I found the info, thank you.

  I looked in the Local Group Policy Editor and found that the two keys that touched this are as follows:

  Configuration - Administrative Templates - user Add or Remove Programs - Hide Add/Remove Windows components Page (not configured).

  Configuration - Administrative Templates - user control panel - programs - hide "Windows features" (activated). Changed to not configured.

• Can I disable Windows Explorer to automatically scan the directories

  I have two mapped network drives. When I hove the mouse over a folder, windows want to browse all folders and subfolders to count the total number of files, folders, size. It is causing a lot of unnecessary network traffic. I can't disable Windows to display information in the folder Option, but it still scans in the background.

  Here is an example:
  Folder1 has three subfolders, each containing three subfolders. When I hover over Folder1, it scans everything what it, same thing when I click in the folder, it scans everything, in all of the subfolders, files.

  However if I use cmd and I cd\folder1 it scans only the next level which is three files, and so forth causing much less network traffic.

  This feature is disable with a registry entry?
