running program that I have not installed
Windows 7
Someone sent me a photo that has been copied from visualslideshow running on another computer. I downloaded he considered what it is and saved it not knowing it wasn't a normal jpeg file.
Now every time I turned off my computer, after the screen that says "of programmes - need to close ' etc, the image flashes on my screen and then the computer shuts down." I tried to freeze the image so I could try to stop the program, but the best I could do was read "visualslideshow" in the lower right of the image.
I did the following:
1 remove the photo
2 search programs for visualslideshow - has not found any reference to visualslideshow
3 looked into services.msc services and msconfig,-has not found anything
4. watched in the the Task Manager - applications and process - has not found anything
5. virus software - ran no virus
6 looked at Windows media player - no slide show or photo
7 google everything I could think of
8 went to visualslideshow.com and looked for a way to delete a photo/slide show running without the software installed - nothing
9 tried to do a restore of the system twice but the restore will fail.
I can't get the image to display any other time - only pop during the closing down.
Anyone know what may be the problem and how do I remove this file permanently?
Thank you.
Mary
I solved the problem.
The picture was in these two folders:
~appdata\roaming\Microsoft\windows Photo Viewer
and
~appdata\roaming\Microsoft\windows\themes
Delete the picture and everything is back to normal. (not sure how and why they got there).
Files did not have the name of the original file, so were not not in one of the searches I did.
Thanks for your help.
Note: my application by e-mail at Visual slide show of support is left unanswered.

Recently whenever I start the computer a program named Mac cleaning charge, stat my scanning system and ask to activate. It looks like a third party program that I should pay. Is it an accredited program for mac. If this is not the case, how can block this load upward.

Determine the manufacturer of HD computer. Go to the manufacturer's website and download their software/utility to check the Dowload HD it and burn it to CD or DVD according to the instructions. Boot from the disc newly manufactured. Run the utility to verify. If necessary, replace the HD and restore backups.

I have placed several orders of Wal-Mart before today using Firefox without any problems. But today, nothing but problems. I tried for more than 4 hours, get this order to cross. I told cat line of Walmart and told me that I have to install Chrome to place an order. They don't answer when I asked if Walmart belonging to Chrome.
I deleted the cookies and cache and restarted but none of this has worked. While Chrome has that Firefox does not work? I tried Chrome before and he hated and had a devil of a time he get off my computer. I don't want to go there again.
I have attached a copy of the message that I get seems to indicate that it is a problem within Wal-Mart, but I said that it was with my browser.
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and using Firefox 40.0.3.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks for your reply. I just figured out the problem.
All started when I tried to pay my order at 13:00 this afternoon. I am persistent and don't give up easily. Five hours later, I found an error in their programming, which allowed me to add an item to my shopping cart that was a purchase in store only. But then when I went to pay for it, he became confused and wouldn't let me order but didn't tell me why.
I solved by moving all items in the basket to saved for later and then add one at a time, trying to get to the car after each addition. It took a while because there are 20 items. He had the same problem when I added the item in the store to the cart and tried to pay for it. So I deleted and purchased on Ebay.
Now I know probably as much if not more than any of their populations of the Chat line that can only be read on a book script.
It's a relief that I don't have to use Chrome. I really like Firefox and would not change.

I get this everytime I try to print from my design program (Splash): error in C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\LXCItime.dll missing entry: lack of entry: RunDLLEntry It just started and I have not installed anything new.
Hello Lscherr,
Thank you for your message. To clarify, you are able to print out your design program? You can try to perform a clean boot and printing of your design program. A clean boot will start your computer without any 3rd party applications, you can then start your design software and test the printing functionality. If you are able to print, the problem may be caused by another application of part 3.
