    It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check

    Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

    Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)

    http://www.SUPERAntiSpyware.com/download.html

    Some malware is installing the entries of proxy server redirecting internet connections. If you encounter this problem step 2 see in the following link:

  • How to free up space in a drive by deleting files hidden from the previous operating system?

    Original title: my vista home c drive now have very low free space.there is some files hidden from the previous operatnig system busy space that are useless.how can I delete these files?

    my laptop is slow due to the very low free space in c drive. How can I remove the unnecessary files from c drive or increase the volume of drive c?

    Download a program like TreeSize Free (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/) to see where the files take up a lot of space.  Be aware that deleting files without knowing what you're doing can cause your system to be unable to restart or cause instability can so be sure you know that you are deleting before you start.  There is no way to extend one hard disk other than to replace it, in which case you need to copy all the files from your old drive to the new.

  • Vista SP1 does not update problems and System Restore returns a message "system restore was not entirely successful. File system and the setting of your computer has not changed"with the error code (0x80071AA7)

    0rignal title: Vista SP1 didn't update problem

    So, recently, I was on my computer of gf and noticed she had some updates, it could use his computer which included the SP1 update.  So I went through the process trying to update his computer and he has been a disaster and have had many problems and seems to have tried everything.  It has a Dell inspiron 1525 and has no CD and no key for its program of Vista.  I burned a Vista recovery disk and tried troubleshooting by using that, but have not had much luck.  When I use the Startup Repair tool there is no nothing.  So I tried to use the restore of the system with the Description of "install: Windows Vista Service Pack 1.  He had a restore point saved just before I tried to update to SP1.  Whenever I chose this method, it's but the whole process then in the end it says:

    "System restore was not entirely successful.  File system and the setting of your computer have not changed. "

    then he begins to list the details with the error code (0x80071AA7) and then gives me the option to close or 'Run System Restore"once again that is an endless loop, because I just end up with the same error each time.  If anyone has had this problem and bring myself through it.  I don't want to reinstall windows because it seems simply ridiculous and plus that she a lot of pictures on his computer and I want to get rid of those.

    If you need more information please let me know and evil provides everything I can

    Hello
     
    Follow the steps and check if the problem persists.
     
    Step 1:
     
    I suspect that your security program may be responsible for this. I would suggest you temporarily disable all security software and try the system restore.
     
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
     
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
     
    Note : 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.
     
    Step 2:
     
    As for installing updates is concerned, I you should install them after you put your computer in aclean boot State. There could be a third-party software in conflict with updates. Clean boot helps eliminate these conflicts.
     
    Note: Restart your machine as usual by following step 7.

    I could be off in a way... but from what I've observed, the system remembers the LAST location you saved anything in.
    If it was the pictures folder, then it goes straight to the photos.

  • How can I change the file permissions that are made in the other operating system on the same machine?

    Hi all

    I installed 2 operating in two different drives (drive C & D) systems in the same laptop.
    Recently I have re-installed the Windows7 operating system on drive C. And formatted the D drive. Now, I have a BONE in my system.
    Now the problem is, I can't open some video files (the names are colored in green) who says that you have no permissions.
    I found that "Encrypt contents to secure data" is enabled in advanced of this specific file properties.
    When I go to turn off this option, it says that you have no permissions. It shows the name of the owner as a previous user of the operating system
    in the other disk drive D (that I already formatted)
    How can I get out of this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    If encryption is not involved (if you do not encrypt the files originally) and is just a file permissions problem - simply take possession of the files first and then change the permissions when your account has full permissions on the files/folders that you need.

    If you do not backup your encryption certificate and key encryption is involved, then the data are almost lost to you.

  • In all projects, all the files are locked (cannot change, delete, rename or move), file system is given

    Hi all,.

    Today, I started my JDeveloper and was rather surprised that I can't edit any file in any project that I opened. All files have a small lock in the upper left corner.

    screenshot-area-2015-06-12-085052.pngHere is a screenshot of the indication.

    I use git as my vcs. Git does not support file locks, but a svn. Maybe something gets mixed upward...

    Anyway that it blocks all the files in the projects that do not use the vcs.

    Thanks and greetings

    What is in the .jdeveloper folder?

    I suppose that you have created a new record of system12.1.3.0.xx.xx.xxx in this way. It is save to assume that the problem was the system folder. Check out my blog https://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/save-most-of-your-changes-to-the-jdeveloper-ide/ which give you some tips where the most change is stored.

  • All of my records changed in the files system and .exe files are created with the names of these folders.

    Is it due to malware? How to convert these files to their form of moose?

    Hi Raffey Hassan,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You have security software installed on your computer?

    Changed file .exe file names, the reason might be that the computer is infected from virus or malware.

    I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

  • How can I change the NTFS file system to say fat so my TV will read the HD Ext USB files? Thank you

    Using Vista, downloaded a movie on 2GB USB flash drive and Iomega 1 TB HARD drive then strove to connect both in TV Grundig.

    Read file ok but wouldn't play film "says cannot read the file format" all clues please? For your info I have 63 years if my grandson was here 6 years old it would probably sort fast time, but I can't! :)

    Hi Norman,

    After you convert a partition to NTFS (New Technology File System), you can not convert back. If you want to use the FAT (File Allocation table) file system on the partition again, you will need to reformat the partition, and this will erase all data on it.

    Click on the link mentioned below as reference.
