Somehow, I lost all my windows games. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Minesweeper (I got just to click on this game) \Minesweeper.exe the specified path does not exist."

Hello

Somehow, I lost all my windows games.  I have Windows Vista Home Premium; Internet Exployer 9 & Service Pack 2.  I don't know if you need any information Add ' l to answer my question.  But if anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful.

I'm not at all computer literate.  So if you answer me, please give me for exact directions.

I already watched: Control Panel; Programs of devices &; and the box is checked for the 'games '.  I also clicked on the word 'Games' and all games can up and they are all checked.

When I try to access the games, I get this message:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Minesweeper (I got just to click on this game) \Minesweeper.exe the specified path does not exist.  Check the path and try again.  (But I don't know how to check the path!  Can someone help me?

Thank you, b.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Minesweeper (I got just to click on this game) \Minesweeper.exe the specified path does not exist.  Check the path and try again.

What do you get the message above? You try to put a tick in the box empty for Minesweeper in Windows turn features on or off?

If you uncheck the box for games, click OK, restart your PC, then check the box for games, press OK and restart again, what happens?

Is it one bought for PC & that you own, or is it a PC belonging to the company?

    Hello

    Windows Defender is an antispyware software, not an Antivirus.

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    Help, please

    im running windows 7 on a HP Probook 6540 b, im the only one using the computer so I wanted to skip the log on screen, here's what I did I press the Windows key + r and type "control passwords2" in the command box that appeared and unchecked users must enter a user name and password to use this computer not even start in safe mode to help me back

    but still, it shows the log on screen and now I can't login my account told me "Windows Security - the specified account does not exist", but my account is still there.

    The correct command is actually 'control userpasswords2', not "control passwords2".  And before you uncheck "users must enter a user name and password", you need to click on the name of the account under which you want to log.

  • How to solve error 1075 the dependency service does not exist or has been marked as deleted by sharing my internet conection as temporary ad - hoc wifi connection? Windows 7

    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL

    As a solution, I think that if a system component is damaged I shuould fix first.

    In fact, I did a full upgrade to Windows 7 (build even) with the OS DVD.

    I must mention about the extraordinary capabilities of Windows 7 on the upgrade.

    After all the upgrade process which took about 2 hours to "Installation of Windows 7" discovered that .NET framework 4.0 is damaged and repaired. And I could start ICS.

    Without all this hassle if you could try to reinstall .net Framework 4.0, I think that this problem will disappear.

    Remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

    You can follow the below methods:

    Method 1: Restart Windows and try to start the Security Center service.

    If you still receive the same error, make sure that the WMI service is launched and running:

    (a) click Start, run , and then type Services.msc

    (b) double-click Windows Management Instrumentation

    (c) set its startup type to Automatic

    (d) click Start to start the service, and then click OK

    (e) restart Windows.

    Method 2: Restart the service

    Windows logs an error if the service IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules or the driver does not start, or suddenly, they end.

    To restart the IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules service:

    To perform this procedure, you must have membership in the local Administrators group, or must you have been delegated the appropriate authority.

    (a) restart the service. You can do this from a command prompt or in the snap-snap-in Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Do one of the following:

    ·         Start an administrative command prompt. Click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. At the command prompt, run the command net start ikeext.

    ·         Click Start, type services.msc in the Search box and press ENTER. In the column name of the Services snap-in, right-click on IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modulesand then click Start.

    (b) if the attempt to restart the service fails, restart the computer. This forces all related and dependent services to restart.

    (c) if the error persists after restarting the computer, then the executable files for the driver or service may be damaged, and the operating system must be reinstalled.

    Note:

    You can check that the IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules (IKEEXT) service runs by using the Component Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or the net start command line tool.
