• The latest version of flash player is installed, and yet none of the programs that use it can find or access. I am running Windows 7. Is there something in the registry that could block flash drive to be accessed or used?

  The subject is the question. Files with the flv extensions cannot run or be identified. Other software that uses flash player such as Rhapsody, can not find or use it either. It feels like a registry problem. Please, do not waste time suggesting I uninstall and reinstall flash player as I did several times without improvement or solution.

  Yes, this isn't how Flash Player works.  It is not a video player.  You can * write * a video player for Flash using ActionScript that would play FLVs, but this isn't what you're trying to do.

  If you just want to watch a FLV that you downloaded, I'm pretty sure that VLC will get fact.

• Unknown to the programs that run in the background, slowing down the computer

  System resources are always be taxed.  How to get to the screen that lists all the programs that start automatically at system boot?  How to identify unnecessary programs in startup list?  Once identified, how to eliminate these programs?

  Hello DcR3, levels,

  How to get to the screen that lists all the programs that start automatically at system boot? How to identify unnecessary programs in startup list? Once identified, how to eliminate these programs?

   I would say do not delete program files if you are unsure what it is.  You can do a search online of a file if you don't know exactly what it is.

  To view startup programs:

  Right-click on the icon in the start menu. Select "Explorer" from the menu that appears
  Find the 'Programs' folder in the pane on the left side of the dialog window. Click the plus sign "+" to expand the tree of folders
  Click the "Startup" folder to view the programs that start up when your computer is turned on

  Go to the start menu. In the menu list, click on 'run '.

  Type "msconfig" without the quotes in the text bar. Click on 'OK '.

  Click on the "Startup" tab in the dialog window of the System Configuration that is displayed.

  Scroll down to see all of the programs and program files that start up when your computer is turned on.

  o The System Restore tool

  If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  4. click on finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Thank you very much!

  Hi deacon829,

  You did changes to the computer before that happened?

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, to do this, follow the steps below,

  Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Step 2: If you try to install any application before this program, try to uninstall them.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

  If this solves the problem, you can deduct that the demand is probably corrupted, damaged or incompatible. You can check with the manufacturer of the program for more information.

  Step 3: System Restore: System Restore to put the computer's system files to an earlier point in time.

  Look for steps to restore of the system in the link below:

• Where can I get a list and a description of the programs that load when I turn on my computer?

  I recently bought a Pavilion p7-1010 PC with operating system Windows 7. On my previous HP, I got a list of programs that started when I turned on my computer and those to whom I could remove to start which were really not essential to have running.

  Is there a place I can find a similar list for this computer and possibly a recommendation for those who I can disable.

  Thank you

  Hello rmh56, what would be a little difficult to determine, given that every computer comes with different programs.

  I have no way of knowing how to determine which programs can be prevented from leaving on a particular computer.

  You can try unchecking each of those entries one at a time and restart the system, or log and see if the programs perform normally, but this could be a very long process.

  Unless you are certain that a program is not necessary, I would leave checked.

  I just checked my startup programs and I shows that I have 15 startup programs.

  This doesn't seem to affect my system performance at all. I check all out them.

  Hi NickFrankel,

  Depending on the program that you always see and how you have uninstalled it will depend on why he always shows up there.

  For Kaspersky in particular, there are known issues when you try to uninstall, I would suggest so go their link below about their removal tool:

• Maskme has been removed. Why? It was the program is useful that I needed

  I use an add-on called Maskme that tells the fake addresses linked to the actual e-mail. When you want to stop the spam that result, all he has to do is block the e-mail. Mozilla recommends another program which is a program of password and not what I use and it does not hide emails.

  That's happened? A good bit add on which I used a lot.

  If it cannot be restored, I'll finally have to return to another browser, reluctantly, because it's one of the programs that I use a lot, as well as one that uses activeX (which only works on Explorer). It seems that Mozilla is decreasing gently my choice!

  Look at the first entry on this search page;
