• I have 1 2010 Macbook and I could not install the new OS. I'm on 10.6.8. and get an error message saying that it will not install on this computer. Thank you

  I wonder if my Macbook must be sent to the trash since I can no longer get updates to the OS. I have 10.6.8. When I try it tells me that they will not be installed on this computer. It works fine but I do not receive security and other software updates any more. What can I do?

  The computer has a value for someone who does not have a new OS X and does not use

  the last iDevices; Thus the old app from iTunes and stuff would be a good deal, as it is.

  Without more information on the model number and build year, propose any later version

  OS X update (because there may be one or two; if nothing shows up on the Mac App Store)

  However, without more information, such as the about this Mac can show you the

  Details on my side that are not lacking.

  Outlook Express 6

  Hello
  Recently, if I send a big PDF file via outlook, after attempting to send the files, I get an error message saying that the mail has not been sent. The files remain in the Outbox, but when I check with the recipient, they confirm that they have received the mail! This has only recently begun to happen. Any suggestions? Thank you

  Check: File | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. Open the Outbox and delete the message.
   
  If that does not create a new box of sent, and sent items.
   
   
  Follow these steps for the Outbox and sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.
   
  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
   
  In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

• Download Itunes on my laptop just before, it starts to install, I get a message saying that windows Explorer stops because the prevention of execution of data has stopped installation

  original title: Itunes and DEP

  While downloading Itunes on my laptop right before you start to install, I get a message saying that windows Explorer stops because the prevention of execution of data has stopped installation.  Is there any solution for this?  I'd like to install itunes on my laptop.

  Hi Steve681229,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  Here's what worked for someone else.  Thanks Kevin

  Hi thrivenformore,

  Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

  You could try to add iTunes to the DEP exception list.  However, this behavior is not normal.  Go to the support forum of Apple for iTunes for Windows, search on DEP.  There should be a thread "How can I turn off DEP for iTunes?" or it Prevet planting iTunes? "which provide troubleshooting steps you might want to try before adding it to the list of exceptions."

  How to add the program to the DEP exception list:

  1. Press Start, right click on computer and select Properties.
  2. in the window that appears, click Advanced (on the left panel) system settings.
  3. in the first box that says Performance, click on the settings button.
  4. in the window that opens, click the Data Execution Prevention tab at the top.
  5. There should be a box of exceptions in the middle of this window. Click the Add button and navigate to the C: drive, then Program Files, then the iTunes folder, and then choose the iTunes exe.
  6. Add the exception, and then click OK in the window of the DEP.

  Hope this helps, Kevin

• When I try to connect to the net on my laptop LG I often get the message saying that windows could not connect.

  Windows does not remember the setting.

  When I try to connect to the net on my laptop LG I often get the message saying that windows could not connect and I have to go into the advanced settings and check the box that says allow windows to configure the network. My problem is that windows doesn't remember this setting and that I need to check the box almost everytime I try to connect. He made it with my desktop so I was wondering if anyone has a solution for this.

• My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM.

  My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. It is said it can be repaired by using the original installation CD, but we do not have. Any ideas please?

  The file is missing or corrupt is one of your files in the system registry.

  By far, the best way to recover from this is to go to another computer and create a free Hirens Boot CD.
  Download Hirens: <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ > (link at the bottom of the icon of the disk)
  Hirens CD burning <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/burning/ >

  Once you create the CD, and then start your system of problem with this CD.  In the first window, select "Mini Windows XP" and wait for the system to start.  When it starts, go to the Hirens Boot CD menu and select
  Register-> Registry Restore Wizard.
  then follow the prompts.  This wizard will return a copy of your registry database from backups that are stored with your system restore points.  After the restoration, stop, remove the CD and restart.

  When you start your system, it is recommended to perform a system restore operation to ensure the consistency of your system
  "How to restore Windows XP to a previous state"
     <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306084 >

  Also, this error is almost always accompanied, if not caused, the corruption of the file system.  Also a good idea to perform a check disk (chkdsk) operation with the option "repair".
  "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
     <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

  The hard way to get back is covered in the following Microsoft KB article, but if you have installed a large number of service packs for your installation of XP, I don't give you many chances to get past part 1. (And there's also an installation CD to access the Recovery Console)

  (2) how did you launch Firefox when you receive the error message? How do you 'by clicking on the freshly installed target Firefox.exe?

• Error message saying that I don't have the required authorization every time that tries to open the application

  I can't open any programs. All the icons are changed (it looks like the value by default when windows does not recognize the program). When I click on the program, it has an error saying that I can't have the proper authorization. Right click and selecting run to do the same thing. Everything seems to work in safe mode, but it won't let me run System Mechanic. I'm currently logged in safe mode. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi rob251,

  Remember to make changes to the computer before that happened?

  Step 1 : Click right on any program icon, click Properties, click the compatibility tab, check the box run this program as an administrator and try again to run the program.

  Check if this is useful

  Given that the programs work very well as expected in safe mode, the issue could be software or related materials

   

  Step 2: Put the computer to clean and test start

  Follow step 1 in the link below,

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

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

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

  If you started facing this problem lately, recent changes to the computer could cause this problem

  Step 3: System Restore: System Restore to put the computer's system files to an earlier point in time.
