  If you have another administrator account, you can log in with that account and change the password of the account where you have forgotten the password.

  If you do not have another administrator account, you can use a password reset disk, if you have created a.

  If you do not have one of these options, your best solution is to take the computer to a local computer repair shop and ask them to retrieve the password for you.

  Hello

  Here is the Vista Forums.

  If you have uninstalled then reinstalled Defender using Vista.

  Defender is part of the Vista operating system.

  Read this information on the Defender:

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

• How to install Windows XP SP1 from the disc and not an error message indicating "unable to install from the web?"

  My laptop with Windows XP home (2002, upgraded to SP3), crashed after almost 10 years of perfect service. Then I reinstalled my OS (not OEM, bought and paid for a full installation of Windows XP Home, 2002), and after 3 hands hours hardware controllers and drivers, installation was finally able to connect to internet to make updates on Windows XP and hardware. Arriving at Windows Update of the site, I realized that I couldn't do web updates up-to-date, because my old version of Windows. It will not be updated to SP3, because I need SP1 or higher. So, I tried to download and install SP1a. Error says that I can not reach the server. So, I download SP1a on my other computer, burn a CD and try to install SP1a directly from CD. Now, I get an error message stating "error installing SP1a, unable to reach the server. Try again when you have access to the web... Hello! I'm not trying to install from the web... why this message? I even made my computer has been getting a good connection ethernet, just in case my computer needed to communicate with? While my computer has been updated by CD.

  It's probably something simple, but I'm frustrated. Help when the first thing I see on the Microsoft Update site is a special page, telling me that I am not able to update Windows. Help, please!

  You must use this upgrade path:
  Gold XP to XP SP2 to XP SP3.
  Note that installing SP1a is TOTALLY USELESS! (Not only that, the file available these days is EVIL, because you knew.)
  Here are the detailed instructions:

  1. download the installation files from SP2, SP3, IE8 and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is an effective antivirus/antimalware program. I prefer to keep these on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials (for MMS)

  2. disconnect Internet.

  3. temporarily disable the automatic updates.

  4. install SP2. Restart twice.

  5 install the SP3. Restart twice.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart twice.

  7 install an Antivirus software.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should be).

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet.)

  9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates.

  10 re - enable automatic updates.

  After the back if you need guidance.

• IE9 changes the windows mail preview pane header police and not show attachments

  This question was apparently answered by uninstalling ie9, but the time is coming where ie9 will be installed by windows update.  I have a laptop running Vista Edition family Basic, and a desktop running vista Home premium and both have the same problem since ie9 installed.  The preview pane header seems to have had its fonts changed or altered to the leaner and the trombone for attachments disappeared completely.  Remove ie9 is not a solution.

  WYSIWYG. IE9 is not compatible with Windows Mail. When the update is provided by WU/MU, hide it.

• Windows associated .cab a zip file and not a .cab file

  Someone is trying to install a simple VBA program that I wrote, but it does not work because (apparently) the file .cab appears in his file as a Zip file manager. The Setup file so asks to insert a disk, because it apparently does not recognize the .cab file in a .cab file. What is the procedure to change the file association?

  Sounds like it didn't clear the box (which should clear by default as a security measure) when he

  use the option 'Open' or 'Open with' option to explore, or otherwise dispose of a file and changed the default file association.

  Apparently the possibility to restore file associations has been hampered by changes in XP vs Win7, so you

  you will need to make a fix via the registry.

• Windows goes directly to the desktop and not the boot screen.

  . My computer just updated windows 8 and now it goes directly to the office when an application instead of tiles to apps closing.  How to stop

  It's an easy fix, once you know what to look for.

  Go to the desktop and right click on the taskbar. Click Properties,

  On the first tab, there is an option to "See the Windows Store apps on the taskbar" uncheck the box.

  Then go to the Navigation tab uncheck "Boot to the desktop."

  That should do it. If it is not, please let me know.

• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) - HARD drive stops and the computer crashes

  Hello

  It's my first post in this forum, but certainly not my first issue

  I recently had to re - install Windows Vista on my laptop because I had an undetectable virus that attacked Windows and made him useless.
  Before that, I had many, many startup errors and windows crashes, but which were preventable or fixable. After the re - install, I noticed that windows stability was much better until recently.

  I have not changed the settings or anything what so ever on my computer laptop which could affect the performance somehow, but I have a new problem.

  If I have my computer running, performing tasks of base for a few hours I notice that performance and all of a sudden my computer completely stops responding.
  The disk shows no signs of life after this point, and his only solution is a "disruptive Shutdown.
  This appears in the reliability monitor and performance that all this, there is no input error, and nothing is done after.

  I also noticed if either windows defender or other my antivirus runs a system scan that my performance is reduced to the point where I can't run a simple task like opening an Explorer window. This also translates to total non-response. This never happened before a week ago and now it happens every time.

  These two started within the past few days and there is no clear reasoning behind it. My inactivity of the processor is always the same, no new processors added and no settings changed.

  This could be a problem with Windows, my HARD drive, my CPU or something worse?

  Is there a reason why is happening and is there a solution either of these problems?

  First of all, you reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc or disc of Microsoft?

  It's strange and not easy to say what's wrong, but in your case I would test the RAM and HARD drive.

  There are special tools to test the following:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  http://Memtest86.com/

  On the two Web site, you can download a CD image. Burn it to a CD, start with him and then you can test parts.

  Good luck!
