Size of the program in XP'ss Add/Remove Programs too much for Agere Systems HDA Modem - 6.4 GB!

Add/Remove program on HP515 XP sp3 laptop reported the size of the Agere Systems HDA Modem as being program
3,582.00 MB (3.5 GB) you want to assume this is a mistake, because the driver was last updated was 2006 and Agere was acquired by LSI. However - this computer he'd have removed the ThinkPoint (via AVG2011 anti-virus) virus with
no trace, if the elements of the manual removal in the registry, so AVG you all this?

So I tried to remove the program, which needs software modem dialup? and disable it in Device Manager

After having removed via Add/Remove programs when you restart it himself reinstalled w / no prompts
After you uninstall the device, same manager except that now it is said the size of the program is 6 437,00 Mo!

Will be not deleted or disabled after reboot. Next step is to open up the laptop and see if the modem can itself be without shearing of the Board of Directors, if that will not trigger the re - install software
Can find no other reference to this problem anywhere, hope it's just a will and
the GB are not counted against the count of HD space.

Hello korgri,

It seems that you still have a problem with remmants of the virus that you had deleted. I'll try again with other anti-virus or scanning software to see if there is still a problem.
You must disable AVG before using a 2nd antivirus. You can download Microsoft Security Essentials. Clickhere for a link to the Microsoft Antivirus.

I also suggest an Inplace upgrade which will help you to repair your operating system. You will need a CD/DVD of the XP operating system.
Click on the KB article number below to view the instructions for an Inplace upgrade.

After the upgrade on the spot, your personal data and installed programs will not be deleted, but we will have to run Windows Update to install all the updates that are available for your system to update these files system to the current version. This troubleshooting process is very long and can last several hours.

  • What benefits is the Agere System HDA Modem offer that is not my current program?

    Can you explain what this update is for and that it adds to the computer? I receive an optional for update for Agere System HDA Modem on my HP laptop. Should I download it, or do I really need? I also wanted to know what would offer the benefits of downloading.

    You should never use MSUpdate for drivers, especially a laptop. Reconfigure MSupdate for Important updates ONLY.

    If you need drivers for your laptop get you from HP, sepecific to your model

  • I see several duplicate processes appear in my task manager, both for the programs I use for my system.

    I am a user of Windows Vista Premium Home Edition (64-bit) and I recently met a strange and frustrating problem:

    Treatments that are be duplicated are as follows:
    Chrome.exe * 32 - 2-3 process at the same time, currently a browser open with 3 tabs (Google Chrome)

    taskeng.exe - 3 process, listed under different usernames of the system, premises and owner (Task Scheduler Engine)
    I'm worried about this because I have recently updated my anti-virus and malware, however this problem is still present. I have no idea what that means or how to fix this and would appreciate any assistance that could be given.

  • How can I increase the font size of the program itself? I am 64 years old and I need things MORE... lol

    I had an old copy of Photoshop who stop working for some reason any. The guys from tech support had me download CS2 (I got CS) and install it. It seems fine, except that all fonts, symbols, boxes, tabs etc are too small and I can't seem to find a way to change this problem. It's as if I could zoom in on the page of the program itself, things would be fine.

    UH... I'm on a Windows machine and while resolution screen thing could have worked, it would have changed all the other stuff in Windows as well and I didn't want that. However, only one, you've got to go in 'preferences' worked for me. I have no idea what Photoshop CC 2024 and I didn't see any option "experimental." I find and option to change the size of the user interface of the small, medium to large. The large size is like my old software and I see very well.

    Thanks for pointing me to your thread tho...

  • font size in the program "Mail" smaller than it should be

    I remember precisely change the font size of the 11, but why it looks like it is a screen size 9 in the mail 'new message '? So when I get a response and read it on my phone, the police looks like a size 11 should be.  Why is tiny on the screen of the new mobile message?  Also, I had an interview hiring and in my email thank you, I used the size 11 new and the guy came back and said it was small and consider making a larger font in the future.  Needless to say, I am probably not work.  It was last week, but still.  What is the problem here?  It happens to someone else?  Thanks if anyone can help.

    In mail preferences, fonts, and colors. You have the different boxes to display different fonts and size. When you click on select, you'll see a slider on the right that allows you to change the size. As you do that it shows what is happening in the box next to what you have selected, which gives an idea of how it will look. Also in Formate of mail, you can select "BOLD" or big or small.

  • How to make a program available to all users if the program was installed for a user

    Basically, the problem is that I created another user account, but only a few random apps appear on it and I was REALLY looking FORWARD to having to reinstall some programs + 50 so my computer can function normally on my secondary account.  I am able to find a lot of programs installed by snooping around in Explorer and have been able to run some by creating shortcuts, but many of them (Spybot, Itunes, Google Chrome, THE LIST GOES ON!) nothing do when the .exe is open and are unusable (on this account).
    Also, I want to say there is no page support for Windows 7 that cover this topic (that I could find by using the provided search engine), and the more those (as for windows 2000) do not apply because they tell you to move files Windows has more, but it is a known problem and Microsoft should incorporate a simple way to add or remove accounts without uninstall/install programs just to be able to check a box... _ Perhaps there could even be an option for this in a very obvious place, as installed programs list of the filth or user account settings.

    Any application that is properly designed to work on Windows 7
    either would give the person making the installation option to
    make the application available to all users, or do it automatically.
    by default. It is entirely the responsibility of an application
    programmers and out of Microsoft's control. Thus, the easiest way, of
    of course, is to use an application that is designed for a multi-user operating system.
    But, unfortunately, this is not always an option, where companies must rely on
    existing proprietary applications.

    If you install the legacy application places its shortcuts
    only in the start of the person performing the installation, all the
    You may need to do is to move these Start Menu entries to the same
    location in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program
    folder and/or the C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop folder.

    In addition, such an incompatible application can offer additional
    "challenges:

    You may experience problems if the software has been designed to
    Win9x / Me, or if it was intended for Windows NT / 2 K/XP, Vista/Win7, but was
    poorly designed. Quite simply, the application 'knows' how
    manage individual user with different security permissions profiles
    e going to
    'banned' sections of the Windows registry or Windows protected
    system folders.

    For example, the saved data is often stored in a subfolder under the
    folder of the application in C:\Program Files - a place where it doesn't
    the inexperienced user or limited should never have write permissions.

    It may even be that the software requires 'write' access to the parties
    the registry or the files/folders to systems protected are not normally
    accessible to regular users. (He * didn't * happen if the application is)
    correctly written.) If this does not prove that that is the case, however, you
    often left with three options: either grant the required users
    privileges of senior access (either as users with power or local
    Administrators), explicitly grant privileges for normal users
    the relevant records and/or parts or the registry or replace the
    request by another who has been properly designed especially for
    WinNT / 2 K/XP/Vista/Win7.

    Some programs do not work if you connect limited account
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; q307091

    In addition, here are some tips suggested, in response to a
    another post, MS - MVP Kent W. England:

    "If your game or your application works with administrator accounts, but not with."
    limited accounts, you can set it to allow limited users to access to the
    folder Program files with 'change' ability rather than 'read' that
    is the default value.

    C:\>Cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p user: c

    where "appfolder" is the folder where the application is installed.

    If you want to undo these changes, then run

    C:\>Cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p user: r

    NOTE: On Win7 Icacls.exe gives more control.

    If you still have a problem with the delivery of the program or save the settings
    on limited accounts, you may need to change the permissions in the registry
    keys. Run regedit.exe and go to HKLM\Software\vendor\app, where
    the key of the Publisher of the software used to your own
    program. Change the permissions on this key to allow users full control. »
