    I recently installed the last 16 (High Profile) updates to security, for most security updates and updates from net framework as well as the removal of malware for windows XP tool.

    After installing these updates, now my Windows Firewall turns off during 'Boot Up' on all restarts. If I try to load Internet Explorer, it will also not load up to minutes serveral / while this happens... That's fine, then finally my firewall itself loads Up quickly turns to Internet Explorer and back on during this time around the same time.

    After these updates these things are happening on my computer now, it's as if there is a process running, but nothing run any virus, Trojan or worm etc just these updates caused this problem. I don't know if it updates is corrupt or not, but have tried different things as system file checker /scan etc with no luck.

    (1) computer boots to the top and seems to Load Up Fine ' until the ' or 'Look at this' but isn't, something is running in the background or process "wing unstalled" is obviously "unhooked", etc..

  • Need help with the installation of Windows XP Home on my Satellite Pro A300-1DZ

    Hi all.

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ system unit, model no PSAG1E-OOFOO4EN (think they are 'o' and not '0', circle with slash through it) with WXP Pro.

    I recently contracted a virus inside and as he removed, however it is not good so I want to re - install Windows XP Home edition. I backed up the computer, I have a Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition disk and I have my product key.
    I put the CD/DVD in BIOS to run 1 drive and tells me that I can boot from the CD, I press a button and it loads the CD, select the option where to install windows.

    BUT! I can t go further than what windows does not detect the HD said he s not now, or whatever.

    My question is this: Please can someone me step by step instructions on how to reinstall XP and a link to all the drivers I need to make it work?

    PLEEASE!

    It's simple on my PC, also, please keep in mind, I am best suited for working on cars, I'm not stupid, but my calloused hands search for computers a little more difficult than Motors please not in many computer technical terms.
    I myself am the slow education in the dark arts of computers. LOL :)

    PS. the laptop has a Vista Basic sticker on it, but it is certainly the XP pro operating system. :)

    Hi jeff

    Here's your solution:
    1. go to bios with F2 when you see the toshiba start screen.
    2. Select the arrow to the left using the "Advanced".
    3 press down until you get to "SATA Controller Mode".
    4 change, using F7/F8, Chang [AHCI] setting [compatibility].
    5. make sure the CD/DVD drive is the first to start and F10 save and exit. computer restart when you are prompted to "press any key" press a button and hey presto as before windows will start the installation, but this time you won't get windows you said:

    Set up did not find Ant hard disks installed on your computer.

    Make sure any drive HARD are powered on and properly connected to your computer and any hard disk related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or Setup program.

    implementation cannot continue press f3 to goto hell... uh I mean leaving the installation

    And you can continue on your installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    Hope I helped many other jeff's in the same boat. XD

    Hello

    If a compatible SATA mode then your HARD drive will always slow down the performance of the laptop!

    You need the right SATA drivers. You can find the right SATA files in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, which can be downloaded from the Intel page.
    Notes; There are different packages that supports different chipsets.

    After the right SATA driver was selected, you can use the freeware software called nLite to build a new XP CD and include SATA files.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  • Installation of Windows 7 Professional on a computer laptop windows preinstalled

    So yesterday, I did a check disk on C:, but since it froze because of some damage to windows, I force shut down (I'm sorry), but when windows came after that, the internet was off because the diagnosis Services policy has been down. After awhile, I realized that half of my registry was severely damaged causing most of the main as firewall programs and some services stop and does not start again. I checked all permissions, but nothing allows me to activate the services. My computer was really slow and freezing all the time anyway so I want to reset it to factory settings, or at least format my HDD, but the problem is that my HP laptop had Windows 7 Professional pre-installed on it so I have no disk to reinstall. Now I need help or opinnions popular on what to do, please someone help me on how to reinstall windows without the disc. (Restore doesn't work either) (I checked for the virus as well)

    Hello

    One option would be to create your own Windows installation disc, but you must always be able to read the activation key of 25 characters for Windows 7 Professional of your COA label - an example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can download the Disk Image, you need from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source - Digital River.

    Images of Windows 7.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Is it possible to buy the installation for Windows XP discs?

    I currently have an old desktop computer that is really slow.  I would like to upgrade my desktop computer, but do not want Windows Vista or Windows 7.  The majority of the software I have on my computer is not compatible with these operating units.  I don't want to have to buy all new software, just because I wanted to speed up my computer.  I was wondering if it is possible to buy for Windows XP installation discs, or is it possible to spin discs in Windows XP that came with my old computer to a new computer?  I saw the post on the Windows XP installation from diskettes.  I don't have a floppy drive, CD will work very well.  I'm just trying to understand what my options are.  I contacted Dell and discovered that if I want to order a new office with Windows XP, I'll pay a little more for the computer.

    See the Tech Geek response.

    However, to directly answer your question, (a) well that installation of Windows XP CD are available for different sources on the Internet, it can be difficult to tell what you buy in fact and whether or not it is legitimate and (b) under Windows XP CD you have now, you may or may not be able to use them to install XP on a new computer.  In addition, there is no guarantee that there will be Windows XP drivers for all hardware on a brand new computer.

    If by following the advice of Tech Geek, you cannot get your current running almost as well as he did when it was new, the best (and probably cheaper) option is to buy a new computer with Windows 7 installed.  Unless you use some small markets proprietary software applications, you may be surprised to learn that the software you have now, in fact, will work on Windows 7.

    For example, you can get a Dell low end computer with a Core i3-2120 (3.3 GHz) processor and 4 GB of RAM with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for $429.  If you really must use XP for your applications, you can switch to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (which supports XP Mode) for an additional $ 70.

    Compare the above to the price of a 'full' (i.e., not upgrade) version of XP Home to $249.95 (Yes, you can get it cheaper if you are careful about what you buy).

    Of course, if you find yourself either do a clean installation of Windows XP (whether on your existing computer) or another or if you buy a new Windows 7 computer, you need the keys to media and product installation for all of your applications.

  • Installation of Windows XP on a second disk hard SATA and booting from it.

    History:
    I have a two year old computer and it becomes slow to start.  Its a P4 dual core 2.8GHz with 3 GB of RAM and a hard drive SATA 320 G, that left only 60 GB.  I tried to uncheck all unnecessary items at startup using msconfig, but its still quite slow.

    Proposed solution:
    I bought a new HDD SATA of 500G and I thought performing a new installation of Windows XP on the new drive and boot from that.  I want to leave the old disk, as is if I can still access the programs and files that I have on this subject. That said, I will migrate probably all programs and regularly used files on the old drive on a new and let all my media files on the former.  I don't want to copy all just above (picture disc) because it will bring all the junk with her.

    I backed up my important data to an external drive.

    Issues related to the:
    Is there a problem to have windows XP on both drives?  Will I need to do anything to access my old programs on the start menu in a "new window" - what do I have to reinstall or can I just copy them into folder "program files" the new windows?  What is a reasonable way to speed up my machine?

    Thank you very much for your answers.

    You want to move the old SATA disk to controller 1 (although leave of you for now disconnect) and put the new drive on controller 0 and then install XP. Then set the old drive to the secondary SATA controller. You will need to install programs on the new drive; You may not copy or use the old disk. To stay in compliance with the EULA and activate the new XP successfully, you need to remove the old XP and just use the old disk to store data. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Why Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit installs not Windows updates?

    I am not able to download and install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit windows update.  This Gateway laptop has always been able to quickly and easily install the update by clicking windows update.  However, since the introduction of Windows 10 it has been a lot of your time trying to install updates.  I had this same problem with Windows 7 too.  Never before there was no problem for the two operating systems.  Installation of Windows updates has always been easy and fast without any problem.  Running the troubleshooting isn't good and hunting error codes has been unproductive.  What the hell is happening?

    Hi Joe Cool1:

    'Check for updates...' crashes and slow Windows updates currently affect the SP2 for Vista and Win 7 SP1 users, and I doubt it's a coincidence that Microsoft has ended mainstream support and only provides support for these two operating systems.  The evidence points more to a problem with the Windows Update Agent (WUA Vista, C:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll v7.6.7600.256 has not been updated since June 2012) and the problem tends to be more prevalent on computers with slower processors and a limited amount of RAM.

    There are step-by-step instructions posted on 16 June 2016 wire m #l's updates doesn't work do not, he has been looking for updates to the hours which should speed up Windows Update for both for Win 7 SP1 and SP2 for Vista.  The instructions were for users of Vista, so when you reach step 4 just use the appropriate links of Win 7 on the page Web of Dalia http://wu.krelay.de/en/ (Win 7 x 64 if you have 64-bit Win 7 OS;) Win 7 x 86 if you have a 32-bit Win 7 OS) to download packages update stand-alone correct (.msu files) for missing Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) updates on your Win 7 machine.

  • The following error during the installation of Windows: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

    Help, please! Installing Windows Interrupted!

    Hi recently my computer was giving me a bit of concern for example (running slow, do not easily light etc...). A couple of days, my computer has decided not to put on after a glance on the net (on my other computer), I found I had a problem call KSoD or black screen of death, therefore I went on youtube and made all the different things said youtubers can fix this how ever none of these things worked, so finally I decided that I would have factory reset my computer/windows to using the system restore. However, at half way through the installation of windows after the factory reset (my computer came with no disk Windows), my computer has decided to remove what I believe to be called a blue screen of death, that this happened before and I thought it was part of the installation but when I turned my computer on he showed at the bios screen , but then it said 'unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2. choose your language settings, and then click Next. "3 click on repair your computer ' all this is very well apart from the fact that I do not have the windows installation disc. I'm stuck at this screeni however have a disc of windows 7 and that he was going to install windows7 after I got my vista Setup! but the only I see is the bio screen so I was wondering if there was some way I could install windows 7 from the bios or simply delete the entire half installed this error files windows vista from the bios screen? Please, any help is greatly appreciated. Or get a new internal HDD would fix the problem aswell?

  • How to perform a new installation of window 8.1?

    Hello

    (If this is important), I use an Alienware X 51 R2 with the following specifications:

    Intel i5 4440U 3.3 GHz processor

    AMD R9 270 2 GB

    8 GB RAM

    1 TB HARD DRIVE

    Basically, my alienware has had many recent accidents before I made my own window installation 8.1 via the USB port. I thought it will run more fast and smoother after I have done, but here are a few problems:

    1 secure Boot product still "no error of Boot Drives Found" as soon as I turn on the computer. So I have to disable Secure Boot.

    2 application opening time is still as slow as before the clean install (i.e. Chrome)

    So, is there a procedure step by step on how to perform a new installation of window 8.1? I want this PC to match at the beginning when I first bought.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Tin

  • Slow speed and "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and often "unresponsive".

    My laptop Gateway (1.46 GHz Dual CPU) is under Vista Home Premium and is very slow during the implementation of new screens or changing the screens in an application, often displaying "not responding" for up to a minute.  Sometimes the message on Windows Explorer appears. It is also very slow while booting or passage from one user to another.  I regularly remove temporary files internet and visited sites, regularly virus and spyware scanner. My usual applications are Quicken, Internet Explorer, I-tunes and webmail.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

  • Custom installation of Windows 7 Pro takes too long

    Well, last night I was installing Windows 10, where first steps easily on the past, as in 30 minutes the computer rebooted and reached the point of preparation, with pimples circling above the line. But in the meantime Windows to boot completely, thinking that it won't be more than a few minutes, leave the laptop on battery, I fell asleep, as I was so tired. I woke up this morning to find the computer turned off. I started it. Dotted circles appeared and after some time the dialog box, to show something like "computer is suddenly off, so that Windows cannot continue the installation.

    No problem, I thought, however feel bad.

    • I restarted the facility, the same box appeared.
    • I took the car and formatted the 469 GB primary partition, formatted the partition, MBR, revived the installation, the installation process ran more slowly than ever, everything as it was when I tried to install Windows 7.
    • I took out the disc and deleted all the partitions by using the Partition Wizard, revived the installation, the same. horribly slow. Now more than an hour has passed, and he exceeded not copy files.

    I try to keep my wits about me, as I wonder whatever happens, whatever the change, happens to the configuration of the hard disk!

    I would really appreciate if someone told me exactly how to prepare a hard drive for the custom, clean installation of Windows?

    • Here, I created a partition MBR before or during installation?
    • If Yes, then what is the size? (I think that 100 MB is standard)
    • If so, then in NTFS or FAT32?

    I can't really understand why the installation process changes the way it works.

    Is it possible that the information are rewritten on the installation media to cause this?

    I'm asking questions, but I am open to any suggestions!

    Thank you

    You confuse the Master Boot Record (MBR): https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc976786.aspx

    with a score, they are not the same.

    A new fresh out of the box has no MBR and no partitions. Connect it to your computer as a second drive and you will be prompted to 'Initialize' the reader. Initialization creates the Master Boot Record (but not partitions). When you install Windows partitions (C: Windows and system partitions are created). The system partition is for Windows 7 150 MB (very small partition that contains data for Startup Configuration that needs to load Windows), the Windows C: partition occupies the space remaining on your hard drive. The exceptions are HP, Dell factory installed systems, Etc. which additional scores.

    So if you want to start again simply remove all the partitions that Windows created 10, the Master boot Record (MBR) will remain in the tack room.
