    If you use Windows XP, you should uninstall it by going to control panel, click Add/Remove programs. Scroll down to MediaGet2, and then uninstall it.
    If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, go to control panel, click programs and features. Scroll down to MediaGet2, and then uninstall it.

    If these methods do not contribute to uninstall MediaGet2, you can download a 3rd party software program and then remove MediaGet2.

    Hello

    1. when exactly you get this error message?

    2 are you able to boot into the office after getting this error on blue screen?

    3. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Try to start your system in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.

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

    Method 2 : If the question does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to put your computer in a clean boot state.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Method 3: If the problem persists, then try to run the Startup Repair tool.

    Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

  • No option has worked at the start of vista & no CD provided with the computer!

    I tried all the options (boot recovery, System Restore, memory something or other, etc) and nothing won't boot up to vista. It puts me in a vicious cycle of hit ctrl alt + delete to restart again and again. I have tried absolutely every single option. I can get the bios of course but that's all. I don't see anything else. I have no Vista CD because I bought the computer from comp usa so I can't even try to start with a CD. I want to do a clean install, but I guess that's not possible with no CD :-(  I just need to crash the computer in the trash?  I am disabled so I have no money for a new CD of windows, they are simply too expensive.

    Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition 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.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

  • Logitech software unifyier do not see a receiver is connected and so I can't pair the keyboard and mouse to the computer.

    I bought a logitech keyboard and mouse.

    I contacted support and they work in another machine (vista), they say, that there is an error on this machine.
    When the connection to the wireless receiver, it shows and installs in windows 7 64 bit home edition premium, however, unifyier of logitech software can not see a receiver is connected and so I cant pair the keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    I've tried different usb, front and rear ports and USB 2.0 and 3.0, but there is no change.
    Any ideas how to get this to work on windows 7 that I checked and the devices are compatible with my version of windows
     
    Original title: keyboard and wireless mouse

    I suggest to download and install the Logitech Unifying software and restart the computer and check if it makes a difference. Logitech Unifying software lets you manage your devices that use a Unifying receiver. You can add or remove devices using Wizard of the software or to use advanced mode. The Advanced mode also displays the status of your paired devices, version of the firmware and battery level.
