  Hi Deanna,

  This problem can cause if anti-virus program Norton fails to remove the virus infected the computer. I suggest you to refer to the steps and check if that helps.

  Note: If you use more than one antivirus or antispyware program at the same time, your PC may know a decrease in performance, become unstable, or restart unexpectedly. Make sure you have only one anti-virus program installed on your computer for best performance.

  Try the following steps:

  Step 1

  This problem can also cause due to the infection by the virus, you can perform the antivirus scan in safe mode with networking and see if it helps.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Note: When the boot advanced options select Safe mode with network.

  Step 2

  Run Microsoft Online Scanner.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

  Also run a full scan using Microsoft Security Essentials, click on the link for more information.

  I have an Acer Aspire 5315 with Vista installed on it. It will now not load since the update live windows rebooted the computer last week.

  When the computer is turned on, it loads a page saying Windows Error Recovery. under the present is said: could not start windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to solve the problem: 1 insert the windows installation disc, and then restart the computer, 2. choose your language settings and then click on 'next', 3 click on "repair your computer".

  then he said, other options: If food was interuppted when booting, choose start windows normally. It then gives the other options such as safe mose and last known good configuration.

  I tried selecting start windows normally and safe mode, but it just goes to the windows boot manager with: cannot start windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to solve the problem: 1 insert the windows installation disc, and then restart the computer, 2. choose your language settings and then click on 'next', 3 click on "repair your computer".

  under the heading it says: If you do not have the disc to contact your computer manafacturer or the system administrator for assistance.

  and then there: file: ntoskrnl.exe, status: 0xc0000098, Info: windows failed to load because a required file is missing or damaged

  I hope that you will be able to give me a little help because I do not have the windows installation disc. I'm pretty much at my wits end now and start to pull on my hair!

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

• Does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program?

  Original title: does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program? Which option is it on Vista? Hit reboot? Or off, wait and then start up?

  I was told that if you add or remove a prgram, after it installs you need to 'reboot '.

  Is this true?

  Does this mean that, after the program is installed, you must reach the restart button? Or press 'stop' and then again wait a minute and then be able to save the PC?

  Hello

  Often an installation or uninstallation of will need to reboot to complete and it never hurts except for the
  time it takes.

  A reboot is usually sufficient.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Update causing various problem on the computer

  Original title: bad update?

  11/10, I downloaded and installed updates Vista KB2641690, KB2492386, KB972971644, KB2505189. There is more, but this format makes it very difficult to enumerate. My computer is now constantly lock up, and various closed functions (Explorer being the worst).

  My computer works horribly since the update. Is there a way to reverse the updates, or should I use a fixed disc and just pray that I don't have reinstall?

• How to decide which updates to accept? Is there a way to uninstall an update if it turns off the computer?

  Windows 7 updated 1 week ago disabled certain functions.  Could not get the printer to work until I had spent more than a half-hour in line with HP technical support.   He has kindly changed my settings so that updates do not load automatically.  Now have the message there is new update.  How decide whether or not it is safe to accept it?  If it screws to the top of the computer, can I uninstall it?  Should I just ignore the updates and keep the computer that works not changed?  I am a 70 year old doctor and do not spend days trying to fix the problems with this computer.

  Hi lagodasailing,

  I understand that you would like to know how to find out if it is safe to install an update or not and if there is an option to uninstall or cancel the installation of this particular update when they create a mess in your computer.

  First of all, I recommend you to continue the installation of any Windows Update, you are prompted to install. Windows updates are developed to close open ports, where a malicious user could get in your computer system.

  If an unlikely result occurs after you install the update, you can perform system restore to return the system to its previous working state back. If it is not-so-good result is caused of the newly installed updates more than 1, it is recommended to try to install the updates one at a time to separate or to know that it really caused the problem and after that the results back here so we could help more you or give you advice.

• Failure of KB967912 Windows Vista updated 10 x today and the computer can't access internet

  My new ACER Vista Office tried to install this update 10 x, today. It started while I was working this afternoon. Until that moment, I had a complete connectivity via a cable CAT5e LAN accessing a router and cable modem. Later, I lost the first internet and local network access. Before that, I had worked with Firefox, Windows Media, and financial software and everything was accessed successfully the ' net. Then, I tried to configure Microsoft Outlook 2007 to get my email. His inability to access my cable provider was the first idea I had that I didn't have connectivity.

  Each time, I had the exclamation point on the stop switch and Vista stops with the view that he was installing "Update 1 of 1. However, whenever I rebooted the update didn't install.  Also, I had to restart my modem and router every time to regain access to the internet for short periods of time; in less than 4 to 7 minutes, all access to the internet is lost again. The error code was Code BC2 the last couple of times, but before that I also got error Code 80200053 when an Office update also failed to install. (I was able to install the Office update successfully, after another restart and cycle the modem to regain power connectivity).

  Help! FYI, I had to find another computer even to post this question!
