I have a screenshot of the new manager of task here: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k621/a_bakedpotato/vistataskmanagerisue.jpg

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

• MovieClip is hidden, but still shows the same width

  Hello

  I have a moveclip with 300 x 900 content inside, I've hidden this content in this movieclip with mask form 300 x 250, infect I've hidden the content in this movieclip but it shows always 900px in height is not the amount of rest but showing the height that I'm unable to align the content dynamically. Is there any solution for this... ?

  Your images do not show a problem.  Hidden content displayed in the blue box of your second image would be correct.  Only what is behind the small hidden area will appear, but that does not affect the size of the movieclip being masked.  The movieclip will remain the size that it is.

  Title says it all. I reinstall the drivers, changed the settings in the registry editor as someone on another forum suggested, remove all the accounts of the wifi and restarted the computer. No errors in Device Manager, Windows wifi connection software is the only one running. Internet works but it won't allow me to set up a virtual private network.

  Hi NoOneSpeciale,

  It is very possible that your CD may be damaged.  Is it possible to get another copy to try on your machine? Or try this copy on another machine to see if it works or not.
  Also check in control panel--> system--> for you Device Manager make sure that there is no yellow/red icon next to the CD player and it's function correctly.

  Call the manufacturer of your computer.

  1. ask a set of recovery disks. The cost is minimal and it is money well spent.
  2. at the same time, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access the recovery of the computer partition and how to use it to restore your computer.

  None of the foregoing need by using your product key.
