  Is there a way to increase the speed at which my mouse moves across the screen above the maximum windows if I set the speed of the mouse up. I have improved pointer option selected & wish on with maximum speed. I use a mouse intellimouse Explorer 3. & don't want to really upgrade to an another gaming mouse.

  Start here:

  References to Windows 7, but some of the same advice should also work for Windows 8.

  If you have a lot of files in particular media such as photos and videos, you could check in on an external hard drive, see for instructions:

  • How to back up and restore your files manually

  I would also uninstall older programs, that you do not use.

  Uninstall or change a program - Windows help

  Your computer may have malicious code on what may be slowing down:

  Download ESET Removal tool

  Burn it to a CD or create a USB bootable thumb with her:

  http://www.eset.com/us/download/utilities/

  ESET are Live is a live Linux distribution which can scan malware and clean infected files. It runs from a CD/DVD or a USB device, regardless of the host operating system, but has a direct access to the system disks and files. This will eliminate the threats which, under normal conditions, can be impossible to remove.

  Download and create your ESET are Live drive

  You can also try to do a system restore before you start experiencing this problem:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/HT/system-restore-Windows-7.htm

  There are some that will hide your files/folders so that you don't normally see them. I strongly suggest to run a scan on your computer with your antivirus/antimalware software. If you need to, you can also use the Microsoft Safety Scanner, it's free:

  Try to perform a clean boot:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If performance does not improve its probably better to try to perform a reinstallation. (Make sure that you backup before you do)

  If Windows 7 is pre-installed:

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  ------------------------------------

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• Can I reinstall the retail install Windows 7 on a corrupt Windows 7?

  Malware has changed/corrupted preloaded Windows 7 on my HP desktop.

  Nothing seems to back up Windows a few times, with the exception of persistence and luck.

  Can I install a new retail Windows 7 on that preinstalled.

  And, if so, will remove all data on non-system to operate on drive C?

  If so do I back up everything first?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello
  
  1. which edition of Windows are you using? Is - this edition is 32-bit or 64-bit?

  Cannot run fs9

  herbmah,
  If you still experience this issue, then you should try the following.

  Update your drivers for your video and audio.  Ensure that the manufacturer has Windows 7 drivers for your specific hardware.  You may also look for both motherboard chipset drivers.

  If you still have problems after updating all your drivers, then clean restart your PC and test.

• Can configure is no longer Windows Vista update to include the updates for other Microsoft products (Office, Visual Studio, etc.).

  I once had a problem with Windows Update, which gives me a family of .NET Framework through the window of Control Panel\Windows to update to Windows Vista, even if it has been installed and has Microsoft support help me through EasyAssist. The problem of .NET Framework has been fixed, but now I have a problem: the Control Panel\Windows update window informs me today I'll receive downloads for Windows only, not for all Microsoft products.
  When I click on "Change settings", the Microsoft Update option is no longer present.
  When I click on the link 'Get' updates for more products, I am now redirected to the former site of Windows Update V4 (who is not supposed to appear on Windows Vista) instead of Microsoft Update, and this site Web of Windows Update cannot detect the Vista updates.
  So I'm stuck now with only being able to get informed about the upgrades to Windows, but not other updates from Microsoft. And we don't mean Windows Vista x 64 final with the last Windows Update Agent 7.2.6001.788. This new update would be the culprit?

  Hi Unicodemaster787,

  Even if it is not automatic, you should be able to get your updates from the Microsoft Download center http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/en/default.aspx

  Other than that, your best bet would be to do a repair install and let the system to reinstall the original files and settings.

  When you perform a repair installation, it restores the current installation of Windows Vista to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows Vista.

  To perform a repair of Windows Vista installation, follow these steps:

  1. Restart the computer.
  2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

     Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, click Start, type : \setup.exe in the Search box, and then click configuration in the list programs. Then click on install now.

  3. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
  4. Insert the product key if you are prompted to do so.
  5. Click to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
  6. On the screen which type of installation you want , click upgrade.
  7. Once the installation is complete, restart the computer, and then try again to install updates.

  Remember, however, that it could undo previous changes to solve your problems of .net.
