    Hello jillmarsden,

    It is not recommended to have multiple Antivirus or firewall installed at the same time because they can cause conflicts as PaulAuckNZ said. However, instead of remove antivirus in programs and features, you must go to the Antivirus website and use the removal tool which is produced by the manufacturer of the antivirus program.

    Microsoft has a free Antivirus called Microsoft Security Essentials. It provides protection for your PC in real time at home that protects against software viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It is simple to install, easy to use and always up-to-date with protection.
    You can download from the link below:

    Be very careful on the acceptance of direct assistance to another user. If this user suggests that he use Remote Assistance to help you, be aware that it will have access to your computer and that your computer could be hacked.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat XI and can not know how to draw a line.  I need to redline some documents but can not.  Does version XI even not this feature?

    I have Adobe Acrobat XI and can not know how to draw a line.  I need to redline some documents but can not.  Does version XI even not this feature?

    Yes, Acrobat Pro XI and standard have this ability.
    There is the comment > Annotations > online tool.
    There is the comment > Annotations > tool bar.

    In the Properties dialog box for one, you can select a desired color (i.e. red).
    So, in properties, you can check a choice to make this the default value of the tool.

    Basically, all versions of Acrobat (including the new "DC") offer this feature.

    If you work with a scanned image that has been placed in the PDF don't forget to use the OCR to get an output of a 'real' text - Acrobat provides a feature of OCR.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m: I have already upgraded to Windows 10 not knowing my printer wouldn't work - now what?

    My printer no longer works. He said: it is not connected. It's a WiFi printer but I actually plugged in with a USB cable and it still won't print.

    I have seen rhe messages saying to wait at least 6 months after the release of Windows 10 for set to level, but as not, HP users were warned before the release of Windows 10, I already updated.

    My son was also a computer HP laptop that had problems with WiFi after upgrade, but a simple reg edit mentioned on your forum fixed that.

    Is this what can I do to use my printer before January? I think that it is an unreasonable amount of the time-out; especially that HP has never notified users to wait.

    HP must have published something of a fix because I downloaded an update this morning and voila - my printer now works as a printer wrieless!

  • I have photoshop element 11 and does not convert to CMYK. What should I buy to get the printable work?

    I buy photoshop element 11 because it says on the box that we could print yourself or by professional but they the RGB is not good enough for their even if printers I optimizing it. I need to do a lot of design for print. What should I buy then?

    At the time where ever we talk about several projects page, InDesign is what you really need. Illustrator certainly has the edge when it comes to exceptionally sophisticated vector operations, but really, it doesn't support features story layout and several pages in the way that InDesign.

    Note, however, that Illustrator and InDesign are professional graphics programs top of range with fairly steep learning curves.

    Hello

    1. what exactly happens when you try to create a system restore point?

    2. you receive an error message when you create system restore point?

    3. what operating system is installed on the computer?

    In the event that you use the Windows 7 operating system you can follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Locate the service associated with the restoration of the system or Volume Shadow Copy Service is started after the computer is restarted. This service can be stopped by some viruses as well, so you can try to run a scan of your computer.

    Step 2:

    Also check the dependency services that are required for the System Restore Service run.

    To verify that double-click the service, and click the Dependencies tab.

    This service must be started before the restore point is created automatically or manually.

     

    Method 2:

    Try disabling the firewall and windows temporarily on the computer security software and then try to create a system restore point and check if that helps.

    Follow the articles given below to change the settings for the firewall and security software settings

  • I use an ipad to a friend not locked... I have myself a code and a apple ID... It works well, now afete upgrade to the latest os blocked .i and wonder the old apple... what to do ID. ?

    I use an ipad to a friend not locked... I have myself a code and a apple ID... It works well, now aferupgrading in the last os blocked .i and wonder the old apple... what to do ID. ?

    Hello

    You describe Activation Lock, which prevents the unauthorized use of the iPad if it's lost or stolen.

    This can be disabled by the person who helped him either entering their Apple ID and password of the device or to remove the iPad from their list of devices to find my iPhone via iCloud.com.

    If the friend who sold or gave the iPad for you is the original owner and who has activated locking Activation, they can try to recover their Apple ID information and forgotten password if they have forgotten one or both of them:

    If they cannot recover this information (and therefore can't follow the steps described above), but they still have their proof of purchase as the original owner of the iPad, ask them to accompany you and the device to a Genius Bar appointment, where Apple may be able to help by removing the lock.

    If you can not organize or any of these measures, then you will not be able to use the iPad. There is no way around this security feature.

    More information and instructions:

  • My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and she did not save what we can and there are only standard users on this PC, what can we do?

    My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and it does not back up and there is only standard users on this PC, what can we do?

    If your wife was using his account with "computer administrator" privileges, and then use the built-in account named "Administrator".

    By default, the built-in account named "Administrator" doesn't have a password.  If you have XP Pro, you can access the administrator account (with no other connected users) Welcome screen by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice to bring up the "classic" logon window  Enter the administrator user and leave the password empty box.

    In XP Pro or XP Home, you can access the administrator account by restarting mode without fail (repeatedly press F8 to leave immediately after the computer starts / restarts; if you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you will need to try again).  Once Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.

    Once you are in the administrator account, go to control panel > user accounts to reset the password of an account with "computer administrator" privileges or create a new user account with privileges "computer administrator."

    If the password that you lack to the built-in, ' administrator' account politics of Microsoft for these forums forbid us to provide you with any information that might help you to bypass this password.

  • After a reformat, it says I have no sound card and I've done it before? What should I do?

    After a reformat, it says I have no sound card and I've done it before? What should I do? Gateway Windows XP sp 1

    It seems that you have not installed the driver for the sound card.

    If you use a restore disk from gateway it should be there, if you are using a full Windows XP disk then gateway should have provided additional disks with all the necessary drivers.
    Normally, I would like to on the manufacturer's Web site to download the drivers, unfortunately with the gateway no longer in the company that will be difficult.
    If you can identify the manufacturer of the sound card installed gateway you could go to their website and see if they have a driver there.

  • I have adobe CC photography and want to know if I can have it on my desktop and my laptop?

    I have photo adobe CC and want to know if I can have it on my desktop and my laptop so that I can take with me when I travel?

    Yes, you can load it on as many computers as you want, but you can have two connected at the same time, and you can only use the program on one computer at a time. If you need to use other computers, you can simply log on that you want to use, and then you can connect remotely on the other.
