• After installation of the parental control my Start Menu will not open

  I have recently installed Windows live family safety on my computer. After I've set up and he began to monitor user accounts, I found that the start menu will not open and when you navigate in Explorer, records that contain a large amount of files I can't navigate to files that lie near the bottom, as it keeps jumping to the top of the page.

  It is without doubt parental control that is causing the problem as the uninstall it sorts the problem. I ran SFC/scannow, a cmd in normall, and safe mode prompt and it doesn't find any errors

  . I had this same problem when I got the laptop in November and a successful to fall on a difficulty at the time (to install the resource from Dell that CD somehow fixed?), but now that either doesn't work or it was a coincidence that the problem has been resolved at the same time, it seemed however to solve the problem on some laptops that I worked at the time.

  I had to reset the laptop back to factory settings (ironically due to a system error that prevented the family of work safety!) I also tried a replair nothing works facility. When I installed Essentials I selected only parental controls must be installed.

  I am now at my wits end, I do not understand how a piece of Windows software is make a significantly Windows operating system!

  The installer I used was version 15.4.3555.308, is there a more up-to-date this solve the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• Windows Media Center visualizations will not work

  My Windows Media Center visualizations will not work for some reason any. its been like that for a while.

  I missed a CD command before the directory (since corrected) so orders would be as follows:

  CD C:\program files\windows media player\visualizations\
  
  DIR

  You'll see the DLLs listed here, they are visualizations that have been installed (if the author decided to use directory default visualizations) NOTE: there may also be cases where the author badly spelled directory visualizations and used something like "visualizations".

  Hello texanbelle,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

  I am including instructions below a scan to help repair the system files related to some components of Windows, including Windows Media Center, and Windows Media Player.

  Repair Windows Vista Media Center files

  You can use the following steps to repair files that are part of Windows Vista Media Center:

  1. click on the Start menu, choose all programs, then Accessories, then right-click on the item to the command prompt and select run as administrator

  2. click on continue to allow it to open a prompt with administrator privileges

  3. run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc/scannow

  4. the cmd prompt should list text stating "start system analysis. This process will take time. »

  5. wait for the scan to complete (this may take several minutes, so be patient).  This command will scan all protected system files and attempt to replace the incorrect versions by appropriate Microsoft versions

  6. once the analysis is complete, the SFC tool will indicate whether or not it found no problems and whether or not he was able to correct

  7. If any errors are reported that SFC could not resolve, there are steps in this knowledge base article which explain how to locate and attempt to correct errors

  8. after fixing errors that are found, try to use Windows Vista Media Center again.

  Fix Windows Vista Media Center registry entries

  Unfortunately, there is no easy way to fix key/registry values that are installed by Windows Vista, as there are files.  If you want to try to repair the registry values/keys that are part of Windows Vista Media Center, you will need to re-run the installer of Windows Vista operating system and repair the operating system.

• Reinstalled Windows 7 but Windows office product key will not work

  I kept getting a blue screen and computer kept stopping and restarting. Done all updates day and driver updates, but nothing has worked. So I decided to do the HP recovery and do a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and everything works well so far.

  When I went to reactivate Windows Office Professional product key did not work. How can I get the key to work? Went on the Windows website and connected, but said it had no products for me. Can someone tell me another way? Not sure if I have a disk to reinstall.

  Jason

  You will need to find the license activation key, otherwise you will not have the version of Microsoft Office Pro.

  Hello

  The reader at the link below must be compatible with your laptop and will offer a little more storage.  You might well be able to install a hard drive with a larger capacity, but this should be a choice course.

• Cannot access Windows software for Information management. Windows XP Professional Windows 8 Pro upgrade will not work.

  It started a month or two ago when the print spooler has stopped working. 'Systems', or had no dependencies. It turns out that none of the services had dependencies, but everything still worked (except the print spooler). Then, I could not access "system information". I tried to restore to an earlier date, that wouldn't work. Tried to do a picture of Macruim Reflect - no luck there either.  My laptop works fine, although slow. Got the printer to work. This lack of progress, I decided I would just upgrade to windows 7, then decided to Windows 8. Me am upgrading of Windows 8 Pro: he went through "preparation" 100% of the screen. On the screen "Get The Latest" I tried 'install updates now' and 'no thank you', the results were the same. On the page "Check your system", he comes back: 'something has happened. Sorry, we're having some difficulty to determine if your PC can run Windows 8. If please close Setup and try again. "He wouldn't have spent so far. The problem may lie in the fact that the upgrade can not see the information system and/or can not say that I am on Windows XP. Is there something I can do for the upgrade to continue?

  Hello

  Most of the older machines running XP are not compatible with the help of Windows 8.

  Follow these steps before you install Windows 8.

  Go to your laptop manufacturer's website and check if Windows 8 drivers are available for your make and model laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 8 does not work for you.

  Download and run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8:

  Break-in of the press and moviemk.exe Type or copy/paste.
