problems with my windows 7
I have a serious problem with my computer. Do not simple tasks without giving me a message "do not answer." I tried to have it fixed by purchase in a pc system, but they tell me that it is damaged and needs more than $ 250 worth of work. I wonder if I just put in a new window system would it solve my problem or do you think that the computer itself needs to be replaced.
Hello
What do you mean by "...". buying in a PC system... » ?
Reinstalled Windows or it return back to the State out of the box (see System Maker
for options) would solve the problem unless there is also some hardware issues. So, it's
a reasonable method. Be prepared to re - install the programs and to provide redundant backups
data on the main hard drive.

===========================================
Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.
Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.
This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html
For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.
Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
you have.
Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
Site of the manufacturer here.)
Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
REBOOT after each installation.
Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.
Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
SCANNER - check manually by model.
Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm
Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
and device manufacturers are located)
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html
If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
you want.

Anyone know if there is a problem with the "Windows Update" site? Since May 11, 2010...
Anyone know if there is a problem with the "Windows Update" site? As of May 11, 2010 I could not access it for 2 days now. I get an error report indicating that he has a "problem with the site '... Not sure if it's my computer or the site itself. I just need to check updates and download them. I would be grateful for any feedback... Thank you!
~ JeniferIt is without a doubt. There were a few patches published today, and I was able to update all my machines successfully. This looks more like a virus problem. Have you run a virus scan recently? Many times, if you are infected the virus will prevent you to access Windows Update.
You can also use Microsoft Fix It to reset the Windows Update components: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058. This could also be your problem.
Let me know how it goes,

have a problem with my Windows Services.
I have a problem with my Windows Services.
Every time when I run the Windows Services window, I get a warning:One or more activex controls could not be displayed because that is:
1. your current security settings prohibit running activex
the controls on this page, or
2. you have blocked an editor of one of the controls.
for example, the page may not display correctly.The warning popup opens only when I click on the extended tab.
The problem has nothing to do with the security of IE, because I can open pages with ActiveX controls on them and so.I installed the Spybot spyware/malware removal tool. Then uninstalled.
I don't know if this is the cause of the problem. But I assume that it is.So, maybe someone faced the same problem and knows the cause for it.
Thank you.

Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!
I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!
Thank you
Ryan

I tried msconfig and changed the boot process, so it includes all of the non-Windows elements, as suggested on the Microsoft Web site, but that has not worked.

Problems with iTunes re-Setup - "there is a problem with this Windows Installer package"
I tried to re - install iTunes with the latest version because I had received an "error 7" message instead of iTunes. You had covered the steps to uninstall and reinstall iTunes by removing iTunes, Quicktime, and other applications on my computer. I had uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, but when I tried to uninstall the Apple software update, I get the following error message:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your supplier of staff or the package of support ".
How am I supposed to fix my problem with iTunes, so I can download music if I couldn't uninstall programs I need to uninstall? Can I try reinstalling iTunes at the moment? Please let me know what I can or can't do.
Specific file names are mentioned in the error messages?
Here is the standard advice for dealing with problems of installation of iTunes. Because you are having trouble to uninstall one or more of these applications, you must use Windows Installer Cleanup mentioned below or Free Revo Uninstaller to uninstall applications difficult.
Caution: Cleanup utility Windows Uninstaller has been removed from Microsoft download servers because sometimes it seems more removed he was supposed to (I believe this was linked to Office uninstall). You can still get Windows Installer Cleanup here--> http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html utility if you use it, you must create a restore point from the system first (or back up the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT).
