Original title: virus Possible?
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop. The last time I tried to stop it, it froze (got as far as the last screen showing 'close', then didn't). The next time I turned it on the desktop would not load completely (white screen, no desktop icons, accesses start bar) and if I click on the desktop I get a message saying "Windows Explorer is unresponsive. I tried to scan antivirus, but that also froze. I ran Microsoft defender several times, and it always freezes on C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. While I can access internet Explorer, I can't click on the links that would open a new page (gel once more). Finally I can't yet do a reboot or a full stop. If it's a virus, how can I solve the problem when no anti-virus software is running?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I just moved across the world and have little knowledge of computers (but I'm much less following the instructions!). The last thing I need is for my laptop to be drunk so I can't communicate with the House...

Hello
-Did you change on your computer due to which the question has begun?
-What operating system is installed on your computer?
-What version of Outlook and Internet Explorer are you using? -
This happens everytime I go to the update function (tools/help/to what Firefox/check updates). Given that the version I use (12.0) is sometimes gel and refusing to load pages effectively (requires a Firefox stop and restart), and I know that starting with version 15.0, this issue has been resolved to a large extent, I understand not why the update function refuses to see the new version and update that this program has ALWAYS been in the past. Something is wrong and I need to know why this happens.
It could be that the internal update has been corrupted. Try just go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 16.0.2

Hello
1. you try to activate Microsoft Flight Simulator?
2. what was the previous operating system installed on your computer?
3. don't you perform an upgrade installation or a custom installation of Windows 7?
Please let us know when do you get this error message it's all install or activate Microsoft Flight Simulator to get help.
If you have performed an upgrade installation of Windows 7, all you programs and data files would be transferred to the new operating system.
If you install Windows 7 by performing a custom installation and do not format the partition during the installation, the files that were used in your previous version of Windows are stored in the Windows.old folder. The type of files in this folder depends on your computer.

I bought the program to convert PDF files to Word, Excel, files etc. I am logged in and try to convert a word file as an Excel file. It shows that I am connected to my account, I guess, (it shows my name at the top) and I clicked the export file, choose the file to convert, click Excel in the box, to convert language was English, then click the Convert button blue. It looked like it was working, then in seconds, said that I was not connected to the internet. I tried to do this several times (on two different days) and get the same message, not connected to the internet. I am connected to internet, I go to my browser and load anything.

Original title: Vista Activation issue
After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.
Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research
and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove
such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,
I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!
It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."
I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?
Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.
I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft
It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!
