• Big problem with Windows XP, IE8

  I have a big problem with windows xp. Many things do not work as they had passed him. For example the personal setting are not recalled from session to session. IE 8 does not funtion properly (icons on the desktop are re-arraged, toolbars cannot be deleted or I'm unable to load pages from the internet). Programs do not work, the files will not open. When I look at my hard C disk folders and files are hidden.

  Recently, IE has been upgraded to IE8 and I installed Norton 360 but I don't mean that they caused the problem. However, whenever the Norton scan executes a "error 8 506 421" stands up and says me that I have to uninstall and re install Norton.» But I lost the ADMIN privileges so I am not able to uninstall or go back to a restore point.

  I can't go in safe mode. Pressing F8 takes me to the quick screen C not the windows safe mode screen. I can't go in safe BOOT mode. INI or the other.

  If I switch to another user, everything seems fine but I don't have ADMIN privileges with this user to be able to make changes.

  Is this a problem with norton? IE8? A virus?

  Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  It sounds like you have a corrupted for your user to administrator user profile.

  You may be able to recover using System Restore to restore to a point in time before your problem.  Based on the F8 key, you bring in a command prompt window, try to start restoring the system to the command prompt by using the following procedure:

  "How to start the System Restore tool by using the option of safe mode with prompt theCommand in Windows XP"

  <>https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304449/en-us >

  If this does not work, you can still be able to recover by performing a check disk to your command prompt window operation (after that you press the F8 key).  Enter the following command:

  CHKDSK c: /R

  If you are in the Recovery Console, it can simply begin, or you may need to restart before it will start.  Corrupt profiles are most often caused by the Corruption of system files, so a chkdsk operation should be performed little matter how you end up recovery.  Note that this can take a few hours to run.

• The problem with Windows update - automatic updates service won't start not (error 126)

  original title: the problem with Windows update

  Please help me to get Windows Update operational return.

  XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP3

  Had a problem with "Generic host process for Win32 has encountered a problem and needs to close."  Follow-up of the instructions on this link:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931852

  Seems to have cleared the error message.  So far so good.

  However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

  I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

  I already followed several instructions on this subject:

  In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

  I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

  Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

  [1]... looks like you are saying that my system is so wet that a clean install is the (only?) way to go.

  [2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?

  [3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?

  [4A]... is there a possibility that some of [my data are] infected?

  [4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?

  A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

  A2. Yes.

  A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.

  A4a. Yes, a real possibility.

  A4b. You run at least three 3 tests on the backup data before restoring one (1) with your installed & updated up-to-date anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials) and two 2 with good reputation, free online scans (e.g., ESET;) Bit Defender; Kaspersky; HouseCall; (F - Secure).

  If you have saved your data on CD/DVD, the disc scanner. If you have backed up your data to a flash drive, SD card, or another external drive AND KB971029 is installed, analyze the drive.

  I tried to load a program called Yawcam which can be used to control a webcam.  Installation of Yawcam has asked if I wanted Windows Media Center to view the Webcam.  I clicked Yes.  Serious mistake.  Windows Media Center has taken over my computer.  I have changed throughout most of my icons on the desktop for a Media Center icon, and clicking on one of them causes Windows Media Player start up, even the icons which are always original.  I can't find any setting in Media Player which will solve the problem.  I can't even start Yawcom.  And unfortunately I did not define a recovery point.  Can someone tell me how to retrieve my Windows Media Center desktop icons and return control of my computer myself?

• Cannot open Word or Power Point Error 1719 also have problems with Windows install.

  OT: problem.

  Hi all

  I used ccleaner, after finishing, I was not able to access to word or ppt... I am getting error 1719 and problems with windows install and I got dnssd missing dll, but I put one in Wow64. I really don't know where the problem lies... I tried everything from softbooting to sfc/scannow... I have windows 7... I copied the log on the desktop and I noticed this repetition:

• I don't even know what to call this problem with Windows 7! Can someone please read and help?

  Hi all

  What is c?

  I have half a dozen problems with Windows 7 right now, but let's start with the most irritating.  Screens disappear and reappear.

  I'll open a window and then open another (at the same time) for a reason, and if I don't have my mouse entirely on whatever the window, it "disappears".  That is, it will become transparent with just sort of 'framework' around him.  The content is gone.  But they come back.  It makes the idea behind 'Windows' laughable.

  And try to block and the copy is a nightmare of one window to the other.  Or even on the same page.  I try to block something and move away, and the "block" disappears.

  I thought it might be my mouse, which is your ordinary Microsoft Optical Mouse 2V.0, I went to devices and printers and formatted my mouse (I've never done this before) and my Microsoft Keyboard and recorded.  Nothing wrong with the keyboard.  The mouse just kept screwing as it did before, and I used your basic standard settings - nothing fancy or different.

  Now I write in this little place and nothing is to move, the mouse behaves - what IS IT?

  I am getting this problem in Windows 7 because honestly, I have no idea where else to put it.

  And I have just started with the problems.  Can you please, please, please help?

  I can't help but think that all the problems are related, so I'll put one little summary of what else is happening.

  1 out of nowhere part, I got a notice saying that I had to change the settings to allow Windows update immediately and without my permission (I think that's what he said and I know that there is a setting in devices and printers? or something like that where I allow edits without review)

  2. I can't convince my printer there is NO residential group and that I am the administrator and the only person using the computer.  This screw with my settings (wired) network too.

  3. I have a four-in-one printer (print, copy, scan and fax).  I am at home lately and will be years apparently, so I decided that I wanted to get the printer scanner and fax.  He was already printing and copying.  I turned off, unplugged and did not know that I had to uninstall all software and then reinstall it.  I don't have the time to do it again; I want a clean computer before you set up the printer.  Well, it seems to create small problems in the world.  I keep getting directed to devices and printers, but I want to read all the information before I uninstall just in case.

  4 modules!  They are the bane of my existence.  I do not understand what they are doing when I go and look at them individually. I tried to use IE10 without addons and it's just a big headache.

  5 constantly getting a yellow banner at the bottom of my screen asking me if I want to run * some * and I wanted to know the risks involved.

  6. constantly asked about Active X.  What is it and what does want of me?

  7. all of a sudden an hour ago, my computer has decided to go to "sleep" mode and wants me to change user for myself and when I do, it says it is locked, but I hit the beautiful image and it opens on the regular Windows screen.  WHY?  I don't use a screen saver and I got 20 minutes sleep mode which is just the entire dark screen until I touch the mouse.  No more!

  Guys do you see why I'm going crazy?  Help, please!  I spend all my days this last week and one before that trying to move things.  All this because I wanted my printer to scan.

  I hope someone has a suggestion for this problem... I just bought a new laptop and Windows 7 Professional came installed on it.

  Thank you

  Linney thanks for your response!

  The file I'm trying to install is an exe file (so the SIG file is embedded in the exe file).

  I tried the option "Run As Administrator" and it did not work.  However, you gave me an idea that has provided a work around that allowed me to install the program.

  Once this dialog box is displayed with all the control switches, rather than press 'OK', I left on the screen and went in the 'temp' folder and find the MSI program I tried to install (I cross referenced the timestamp of when I tried to install it to find).

  Once I found the updated file, I clicked it, and he proceeded to install the program... I have not had any other problems with the installation.

  So, there's something wrong with the way that the exe file have been created and how the files extracted from the msi file (these are files of Intel and Lenovo - driver updates - so I think they do these things) or there is a problem with Windows Installer.

  For now, at least, I have a work around I use until I find a solution to this problem of permanent

  Thanks for your help and for taking the time to answer!

• Dual monitor boot problem with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit after installation of any graphics program like a game.

  I have built this platform with the help of the owner of a store of 4 cumputer teir 2 years ago. We initially put Windows Vista 32 bit on the system to Vista 64 bit unstable atm. For 2 years, the computer worked like a dream. Last week I made a clean wipe of windows vista and windows 7 professional 64-bit installed. The system has two monitors. The primary monitor is a sony bravia with 26 "led and secondary for watching movies is that a 55 '' led Samsung 1080 p 240 Hz. The graphics card is a geforce GTX 295 nividia. It has 12 GB of Ram and the CPU is an i7 965 @3.20.

  The problem I have is this. After the installation of any game average to work with windows 7, the screens to reset their resolutions automatically more than a few times as they are confused. Sometimes, I have to return the screen to its correct resolution after installation in full. Most of the games and then run fine. After installing the game or any game designed for win 7 startup of computers is all messed up for the monitors. After starting hand 26 "sets its resolution and then after about a second 30 pause the computer makes the sound (the double) that it is resolutuons to reset monitor again? After that this second reset about 1-2 minutes the computer is good to go, unless it sets the res evil. The problem is the computer has never done that with vista and it is very annoying say the least. It still freezes the installation of some games. The only way to resolve what I found is the restoration of the system. The computer starts normally and screen ground is defined once she has always been. The only problem is when you install another game, the problem is their new. This problem is worse in some games.

  The latest nvidia drivers have been installed. There is no conflict in the device with the exception of an old printer Manager. The two comes is set to 60 hertz. I searched all over the internet and there seems to be a problem with windows 7 without solution. I am at a loss. Any other information that you need let me know and I'll post it. Thank you!

  Hi ancientone618,

  It sounds almost as if there is a Windows update that is in conflict with your NVIDIA Driver Installer.  I would say to disable automatic updates of Windows to see if it might help:

• Several problems with Windows 8 - Upgrade-unable to download full

  Original title: several problems with Windows 8

  Last Sunday, after downloading Ab2word, my tiles shortcuts stop working. I have uninstalled the program, but nothing improved. I made an update of Dell and got the shortcuts work again (curiously I could always connect via the desktop). now, I get a message saying that Windows is disabled and to enable him, by putting in... but he says that it is impossible to activate. Then I tried the upgrade to 8.1 by the store and got a message saying that I was unable to complete the download. Now my shortcuts tiled work, but they open the sites registered by the office, not as a full screen. I tried to restore to the factory and now get the message that the system is unable to restore. I ran a dell diagnostic and it showed nothing. I did a full security scan and he came clean. I'm rapidly reaching crisis. When you try to seek help on the Web site, Windows 8 is not listed... It is 7 to 8. 1. any suggestions? This computer is less than 2 years old and I'm ready to take a hammer to it.

Could you please confirm if there is a problem and if the contact was authentic.

  Thank you

  You have made the right choice to reject the call. It's a SCAM well known and is FALSE. Microsoft and partners will NEVER user calls unless you ask them to call or to open a support case. On the other hand there is no way for Microsoft to know who has a problem with PC. Take a look at:
