To start Windows tells me that it has blocked some of my startup programs.

original title: problems with start-up

When I turn on my computer, I get a notification that windows has blocked some of my startup programs.  This problem started about two months ago and I do not understand why.

They are important elements of the registry-related programs and my anti-spyware or anti-malware for example programs.  Why this is happening and what I can do about it?

Hi EvelynWeber,

Follow the steps listed in the article mentioned below to solve the problem:

  • Windows Mail no longer works and I get a pop up window telling me that it has stopped working.

    My Windows mail no longer works... it opens and then tells me that it has stopped working... it is highlighted on the Inbox. I have Panda Security but the scan of mail turned off. All started having this problem. Running Vista Home
    Thank you Jacquie

    original title: Windows Mail has stopped working

    There are extreme measures you can take.  One is either movement store the content of the message to another directory and WinMail starts it will be a clean message store (or you can simply rename the directory from the old Windows Mail message store and then create a new directory named Windows Mail which will begin to empty).  The other is to back up the registry key to Winmail (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm) and then remove it and then start WinMail and who must rebuild the registry key.  The first allows to compensate for a corrupt message store (you can use the file |) Import | Messages into the plu message store you renamed) and the second allows to compensate for a corrupted under the WinMail key registry hive.  I suspect the first manoeuvre will fix the problem, but I don't know.

    But those who are basically last stations.  I would like to save things before you do anything that anyone else.

  • Windows tells me that I can't install it because the software on the CD is older than the version that I am running.

    I have Win XP Home SP3 and bought an upgrade - Win XP Pro SP1.  Windows tells me that I can't install it because the software on the CD is older than the version that I am running.  They all have two say version 2002.  Am I expected to find an upgrade with SP3?  How does this work?  Thanks for any help.

  • Windows tells me that the scrivener is an unknown Publisher.

    Original title: scrivener is not compatible

    This program is pretty much used by the authors, writers etc...

    It is not operating as Windows tells me that it's unknown Publisher, and when I run as admin it still does not work. Tells me that it is not compatible. Seems very strange.

    Their website promotes the fact that the latest version is "Windows 8.1 loan." I suggest that search you the Knowledgebase Scrivener and/or post a survey in their support for more forums drew attention to the problem you are experiencing.

  • Why Windows tells me that my anti-virus is disabled and my Antivirus says it is? Who can I trust?

    Just like the title says, Windows tells me that Windows Defender and Avira (my antivirus) is off. But when I check on Avira it says "Protected" which means that it is on.

    Now I'm confused, can someone tell me what is the problem here? Thanks in advance.

    Thank you!

    You can not run 2 antivirus at the same time programs which is what you do. When you stall Avira it disabled Windows Defender and some third-party Antivirus do not play nice in Windows 8.0/8.1.  My advice would be to uninstall Avira via the Control Panel, then go to the site Avira and download and run their removal tool. Then, restart your computer. Windows Defender and Windows Firewall must now be on, l but check in the center of the Action. Windows Defender is more than able to defend your computer. You can also download and run Malwarebytes free version and you can run only occasionally but do not activate the free trial of pro.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

    I bought a year of adobe cc today. The screen came to tell me that he has been to process my payment, do not press the 'back' button or refresh the page, because this could take a few minutes. 7 hours ago. I contacted the Department of chat help and told me it would take 24 hours to process. Is this normal? Why the screen me "a few minutes" looks like if she's actually 24 hours? Does anyone else have this problem? I'm so tempted to just refresh the page and try my luck with my credit card, canceling a second payment if it happens. THIS could be faster.

  • I often receive an email containing more than 10 images, but when I get this message, I can't as a pop up comes up and tells me that I must remove some of the attachments.

    I often receive an email that contains more than 10 images (attachments) but when I get this message, I can't as a pop up comes up and tells me that I must remove some of the attachments that would destroy a part of the message.  What should I do to correct this?

    The images may be too large to send massively as they must be encoded to send by e-mail, and this coding can add as much as 40% of the size of the message.  You can resize to fit the web by reducing their dots per inch to 96 (screen resolution) and then saving them as a compressed jpeg files.  IrfanView (www.irfanview.com - free) will do this for you.

    You can also try Message | To send as an attachment and see if it goes through.
