Performance issuses, impossible to uninstall a program, add another user account, the computer doesn't turn off etc.

Can anyone help, my vista home 32-bit edition computer is seriously messsed! ??

I'm unable to download windows updates and I have like 20 of them to download, it just never performs an act he says its download, but it's not I can leave it for hours and nothing happens, this causes problems because my computer does now, because when you do it just says : configuration of updates and can last for hours, so I have to unplug the power to turn it off, which is not good for the computer.

IM also having problems with other things such as it won't let me uninstall not more programs, I can't do a restore of the system from the control panel or add another user account. freezes Internet too much, slow start. I always get microsft popups saying: "the program has stopped working and not could find solutions to this problem" but I did a system restore in safe mode, but the dates were 3 months back and that didn't help the performance of this computer. I want to return to a closer date now, but I can't. as it doesn't let me do a restore of the system in the menu start control pannel ir.

I run a scan with malaware had 181 made thereats that were deleted but I still have the same problems as above

He said also my windows defender is not protected (outdated) more and needs to update, but it will not update

Help, please

Hi gandt85,

1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

2. are you able to boot into safe mode without any problem?

Since you are not able to restore the system to normal mode, I suggest you to do a system restore to a recent date of WinRE using the full version of Windows Vista disk.

Method 1:

Do follow link below:

What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-Vista

Method 2:

You can also try to run a scan using Microsoft Security Essentials.

Check out the link:

Also, try the malicious software removal tool and check.

    Try this... no guarantee

    If so, open it > is there a uninstaller.exe file here?
    If so, open it and let go about uninstalling.

  • Valid email required? Failed to add another user to the escan.

    Hi, my printer is HP Photosmart 7520

    I try to add a user who will be my work email address, I get to the Welcome screen, then asked to enter the email address, this is made of sinople carefully and then I get a message "Please enter a valid email address to continue.

    I have re set the settings, look for the updates and tried a dozen times.

    Any ideas very welcome.

    It's what I suspected. Your SMTP server for the email client you are using doesn't have the necessary safety requirement, or it has too many. Some areas would not meet the criteria to be used for this feature, unfortunately. This is probably due to a change in our standards or their standards. I don't know who. But the round of work more accessible is to use another area.

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience this might cause.

  • How can I add another user on my computer? Cannot find where to add in my email address

    I want my son to use my computer with its own address e-mail I cand find where to add his address on.

    To create a new user account (such as you will have an additional account to the login step):

    If you have set to be considered as small or large icons Panel:

    If you have control panel set to display as category:

    Click on and answer the questions. Probably best to make a standard user and leave your account as long as the Admin user.

    For the e-mail account, it will depend what e-mail package you use. But for Windows Live Mail:

    starte WLM

    in the Ribbon

    then

    and answer the questions.

    The problem may be that it can be difficult to separate his access to his email of yours. They can be set to be delivered separate boxes, but if it connects using your PC account, he may be able to read your email, where the new user account (as long as it is a standard user and you know / control his password).

    I have a subscription to creative cloud (at least) but I would like to add another user, who will use a Mac... is there a way I can do this?

    Hello

    You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

    You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:
    Creative cloud help | Creative cloud desktop.

    After you install the creative Cloud desktop application, you will need to sign in with a login password and Adobe. Then you can install applications. This link provides more information and step by step instructions, if you need: CC help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications

  • can I add another license to the same e-mail address

    Hello. I use creative cloud on a desktop and laptop. I could buy another computer. Can I add another license to the same account/email address? I don't see a way to do it. This is how I could use licenses on up to 4 devices.

    Thank you

    Andrew

    Hello

    In case you want to use on 4 machines, please purchase a subscription on a different Email address.

    Adobe has moved to based on the identity of license with a technology that will not support multiple licenses and products, you can buy only one membership per Adobe ID. If you need two memberships creative cloud, you can buy each with a unique Adobe ID. You can also buy a creative cloud for membership of the teams, which allows you to buy and manage several places under an own account.
