  • Vista Home Prem64 runs just older games (compatible XP) fine and suddenly will not work the games and id is 'a problem' without code or soln.

    I have a newish Vista Home Premium 64 NB and HAD no problem playing games, I played on my DT Pro XP until a few weeks ago. Now, when I go to open games, windows tells me that "there is a problem and needs to close the game" and "If a solution can be" it will inform me! Using compatibility, updated drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling have not worked. I do not understand why they worked very well and now they do not? Anyone have any ideas?

    Your copy of Windows 7... This is a full retail version, in a nice cardboard box with a product key on the box?

    Unless it was reported as 'bad' key and it is a commercial version - you should have no problem activating it (even with a new motherboard.)  You may need to activate by phone instead.

  • It does not start after you install windows 7 on an SSD without going into the bios and clicking on the reader.

    Will change the bios fix it?  If yes how?

    CharlesR salvation,

    This concern is usually caused by an incorrect configuration of the BIOS of your device settings. If you have recently installed Windows 7, then most likely the boot priority is always set to the optical drive or USB (depending on which you have used in the installation of Windows 7).

    The BIOS settings are dependent on the manufacturer of your device, this is why we invite you to contact the manufacturer of your device for assistance by changing its settings.

  • Ive installed the new flash player and it will not work.

    I recently had my pc infected by many viriuses. my pc has been cleaned by some of the following malwarebytes, avira and macafee. I think that iam in 32-bit windows Explorer. When I looked there is nothing after the ' # ' but it doesn't say "in the level of 128-bit encryption. What can I do?

    Hi again, ok. Now since you have McAfee as a paid version, I would like to uninstall Avira or turn it off at least. The rule is to have an anti-virus program, since most of which will cause conflictions. MBAM is ok, as long as it's right on your desktop and you run it when you want.

    What we will do is to uninstall the current version of Flash Player, install vs 9, then uninstall vs 9, then install the most recent Flash Player vs which is 10.1.102.64.

    To do this, use the administrator account.

     

    Go to this site and download and SAVE the program uninstaller on your desktop:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/141/tn_14157.html

    Go to this site and download and SAVE the installer to your desktop:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/406/kb406791.html

    You page down for Solutions and under Windows in Flash Player 9 and use the Internet Explorer 1.46 MB

    Go to this site and download and SAVE the installer to your desktop:

    http://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

    You will use the Windows, Internet Explorer download EXE to install

     

    Once you have on your desk, using the administrator account, you CLOSE all browser windows.

    Disable McAfee & Avira

    Look in your tray (area near the clock) system for instant messengers, yahoo, aol, etc and turn them off.

    Your computer, run the program uninstall and when it's finished, Reboot (restart).

    Check and make sure that McAfee & Avira are always disabled.

    Run the Setup from vs 9 and when you're done, restart your computer

     

    Test your browser here and you should be able to see the Flash animation (spin) logo and the Flash Player version must be listed.

    http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/  Must vs 9

    Now, you run the program to uninstall again to uninstall vs 9, when finished, restart your computer

    Check and make sure that McAfee & Avira are always disabled.

    Run Setup vs 10.1.102.64 and when finished, restart your computer.

    Then test your browser and you should have now installed 10.1.102.64 vs.

    You may want to print these directions to make it easier to follow.

    If you have any questions, let me know.

    Thank you

  • Upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 and Thunderbird will not work. SOLVED was not logged as an administrator

    On my laptop, conversion of Windows 8 to 10 was fine and Thunderbird has worked without any problems. On the computer of my wife who was on Windows 7, Thunderbird does not work. Thanks to this forum I could check that all emails and addresses etc. have been copied across, but Thunderbird asks me to put in place the new account because it does not acknowledge my previous POP and other parameters. Bloody Microsoft. Can anyone help?

    I have found the answer - default (why?) I was connected as administrator and therefore was not seeking the e-mail account of my wife in the same way as it would. The search in all the files and directories of profile TB, I found a test directory, where TB was given to me. Do not know what other tricks that I solved the problem, but it is all working now.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of. Check your modules is:

    • Tools > Add-ons, or

    Remove all the extensions that appear to be suspicious.

    I recommend that you try to scan with MalwareBytes or AdwCleaner

    Vista Windows

    There are three ways to correct this
    (1) back to the original installation - assuming that the one who did the installation just ran the upgrade rather than a custom installation (is there a "windows.old. This folder?)
    (2) buy a copy of Windows 7, which corresponds to the current installation and use the key from that to make your authentic system
    (3) use your manufacturer to return to the initial installation system recovery disks.
     
    Note that options 1 and 3 can lead to data loss - so make sure that you back up your data on external backup first!
