• The purpose of doing a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode?

  I've heard some suggestions that, in certain circumstances, it is best to do a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode. So I have two questions:

  (1) would what type of circumstances you perform a scan antivirus in safe mode?

  (2) what are the advantages or disadvantages?

  I have found no reliable info that answers to these questions and would be grateful for any info, or even just a point in the right direction.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The advantage is that some process and services are not loaded in Mode without failure there is less chance
  This malware can load and interfere with the process. The downside is the same if its best
  to run the malware checks mode safe and then in Windows. Or run in Windows and as appropriate
  difficult to remove malware is detected then run in Mode safe, then in Windows.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• Cannot start windows Vista in safe mode.

  I followed these instructions to start Windows 7 in safe mode:

  I tried to start windows vista in safe mode by using the following:

  1. Click on the Windows icon in the left bottom of the screen while Windows is running in normal mode.
  2. Click on the arrow located to the right of the lock at the bottom of the popup menu symbol
  3. Choose "restart".
  4. I restart the computer, press the F8 key and hold.  I tried at the beginning of the sequence to reboot and after that the light appears on the mouse, but still before the windows logo appears.
  5. Restart the computer in normal mode.
  6. I tried the key down and also tried pressing the F8 key several times both giving the same results without success.
  7. To eliminate the possibility of a bad keyboard, I switched from keyboards with the same results.

  Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

  You tap f8.

  You can have a F-Lock key in the upper right corner of your keyboard.

• Upgrade Vista Basic Vista Home Premium with the old product key.

  When I bought my laptop, it came with Vista Home Premium installed. I had to wipe my HD and reinstalled Vista using the diskette provided me by Dell, but the version they gave me was Vista Home Basic. Is there a way to upgrade to Home Premium with pay them for it because I bought the license when I first bought my computer?

  Contact Dell on them giving you the wrong recovery disk...

  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

• Can I upgrade my netbook W7 Home Premium.

  I currently have the Starter Edition and my laptop has 1 GB of memory, CPU Intel N450 @ 1.66 Ghz and 250 GB HARD drive. Can I have a good return and activate the Aero theme? Thank you!!! :)))

  Not quite sure about the activation of the Aero theme, but you should be able to run Home Premium. You can use the Express Windows upgrade option in the control panel to troubleshoot. You can also use the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to help determine the capabilities of your netbook.

  You can configure your computer Windows XP does not start on startup, so you can see the error code when it is blue screening.

  Disabling the option of automatic reboot in Windows XP, go to control panel in Windows XP in a left click on start, followed by settings and then choose Control Panel.

  1. In the Control Panel window, open System.

     In the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab.

  2. Locate the Startup and recovery area, and click on the settings button.

  3. In the Startup and recovery window, find and uncheck the checkbox next to automatically restart.

  4. Click OK in the Startup and recovery window.

  5. Click OK in the System Properties window.

• How to make a Win Vista Home Premium PC to operate in "XP Mode"?

  Hello

  My Win Vista Home Premium PC cannot 'see' my Canon Lide 30 Scanner or work with my Canon printer i865. Install the software and drivers on the provided disks not even because of "compatibility issues".

  For this reason the "updates available" on the Canon site (for applications and drivers on the disks) only will be not installed because 'old' versions are not on my pc.

  My pc can 'see' - if that is the right word - my printer in settings, but no further acknowledges that this, and even when the printer is turned on it will not even try to print anything.

  If I can still understand how to get the Vista pc to "run in xp mode" - assuming there is an 'xp mode' for Windows vista to use - this will allow my computer to use the printer and scanner.

  There is nothing really wrong with the printer or scanner while they worked fine with the XP pc.

  Software compatibility problems are more precisely to do with two pilots and the ocr software for the scanner and ALL the drivers and the software of the printer.

  I hope someone can help because I don't want to have to get a different printer/scanner (or upgrade to Win 7 - will this regognise OS my printer and scanner?)

  These options are all too expensive.

  Thanks for any help

  Bob

  Hello Bob,

  Compatibility mode is supposed to help eleviate problems not to cause even more problems :-)

  You can actually get some decent printer/scanner price FRO reasonable combinations of our days. You could try (if in the United Kingdom) is Wilkinson (Wilko) stores; W.H.Smith; and Ryman.

  Another alternative is to dual-boot your server (assuming you have aretail copy of XP). This invloves XP install on another partition on your hard drive. The only drawback is that you would have to boot XP to use your printer (assuming that you keep your current).

  I currently have a brother printer copy Scanner that I bought the Ryman stationery, a few years ago. I only paid about £50 for it at the time. My only problem with the brother machine is that there is no way (on my model in any case) to turn the printer off cleaning option. As the PC and the printer are in my room the printer starts always clean at about 04:00. It is not fun to be surprised into a deep sleep by strange noises coming from the printer :-)

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Blue Screen of death - now cannot load Windows (even in safe mode)

  Laptop last night (Satellite L500-19Z;) Win 7 64 bit) crashed while playing CIV4. Had a blue screen of death. before I had the chance to read one of the error messages about the computer restarted.

  It loaded windows in SafeMode very well then and informed me that he had loaded OK the problem safe mode will be linked to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I had installed until it loads normally. As it was late last night I closed and thought I would sort the morning (with the benefit of hindsight it may have been a mistake...).

  Today, when the computer tries to start, it tries a startup repair; Unfortunately it does not work every time and it says "Startup Repair tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem"

  I looked at the paper it produces, but it passes all of the individual tests.

  I can't access also advanced recovery options system & support, that appears in the Startup Repair dialog box as it requires that I be connected, which apparently I am not (probably the machine never got to the windows screen connection before attempting repair system). The error message reads "you must be logged to access system recovery options. If you encounter problems to connect, please contact your computer administrator for help. Please click OK to restart the computer. »

  I had a go at the start in the advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command etc., but the result is the same).

  I also tried the repair of your computer to the screen option options advanced boot, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same error of connection mentioned above.

  Is it possible to repair or even run windows based hard drive recovery (do not have the DVD of recovery with me as I'm away from home for a few weeks) without connecting to windows? I expected here, but have not yet find a way to do it.

  (there is no disc in the disc drive, no other devices connected to the laptop - I tried with power outlet and the battery and have not noticed differences)

  Thank you
  James

  Hello

  Pitty, you cannot retrieve the HEXADECIMAL code
  On this side, I think that your HD or registry is damaged and you have to reinstall the entire system
