Windows 7 Ultimate slowly degrading.

I've been running Windows 7 Ultimate (version by Microsoft Genuine Advantage: 6.1.7601.2.00010100.1.0.001) for more than a year.  About a month and a half, I noticed that some of my apps had been corrupted and some data has been deleted from the hard drive.   I started looking around and found out my McAfee Firewall apparently has over time evolved to the place where there were too many open ports on the system.  My fault.  I allowed the firewall disabled for too long.  Well, the McAfee software has been a week of its annual renewal of licenses.  I closed several unnecessary ports and Firewall started crashing my local applications when I would access the local network drives 'mapped '.  The error was something like: "program XYZ made an unusual request by attempting access to the network outside the rules of this place and had to be stopped.  If the problem persists, you may need to loosen the security options. »

So I have made exceptions to firewall for utility, problems, but could not solve the problem.  So I disabled the McAfee Firewall and turned on Windows Firewall.  I went on the McAfee site looking for more information to help me configure the software.  I learned about an option that shows all the historical activity of antivirus: blocked quaranteened files, network connections, updates downloaded, etc...  He showed zero activity.  Well, it was wrong, but I decided not to renew the license.  The anti-virus wouldn't uninstall.  I had to uninstall it in offline mode.

The Windows Help system no longer works, nor do the Services Management Console.  Have not been able to find a solution yet.  Also my restore points have been deleted and would not start my Seagate BlackArmor backup software.  The backup software is repaired and restore points are available again.

Three days ago I compressed my C: drive and the system now seems to be falling apart.

"Windows Update - view update history" shows no updates installed and displays the message: "You have not tried to install updates for your computer."

'Control Panel - programs - programs and features - updates installed' lists 261 updates installed.

And now I get the message that I do not run genuine Windows software.

This Windows 7 Ultimate has been activated for at least a year.

A "Windows Activation" box keeps popping up saying that the Windows 7 Ultimate product key you typed is invalid for activation. "But I have not typed any key.

I ran the 'Repair' disc and finds it no problem.  Windows Defender can't find anything.  Run the consistency check utility, I forgot his name.

Suggestions?

First UNPACK the C drive. He was NEVER a good idea to compress any player. You need to stop errors when you properly reinstall the entire system.

Make sure that you back up things before leaving for the new facility.

I mean a clean install because you have too many OS corruptions.

After cleaning install get all Windows updates first and then install Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus solution. Forget you ever heard of McAfee.

In addition, install the free version of Malwarebytes, electing DO NOT check the trial version complete. You must run it manually, but do it only when you suspect a problem, or maybe every month as part of general maintenance.

  • programs do not work immediately after that fix malware 'trouble Shooting permit' said "applied settings are windows xp - but I have windows 7 ultimate

    computer doesn't have any malware left in it. but subsequently noticed that things do not work right - google earth is good example. I then right click on the icon and place comes the list such as 'open with' but there is also one "Troubleshoot for compatibility" list just then up to 2 choices - one of the top is "compatibility with the applied settings" but it says "windows xp - service pack 2" it lists not windows 7 or windows 7 ultimate. " so I clicked on troubleshoot and place comes the yellow triangle exclamation "problems found - this program is not compatible with windows xp in terms of statistics... '.  I then started right click on other programs such as photoshop - real player - makes no difference they say ALL not compatible with windows xp.  --> the next part is probably not bound--> I have 2 computers connected to the same monitor - but they are not connected to each other.  that has windows xp.  during the correction of malware the second computer was not on at all.  during the correction of many programs scanning is headed by correspondent to customer of malwarebytes.  many things have been updated such as the intnernet Explorer and the latest updates of windows of all kinds.   is it possible that somewhere in the registry that something is stuck in there, making the computer thinks that it has installed xp?  for the 'settings applied' - it's just a matter of finding where this setting is and he said somehow 'windows 7 ultimate - windows xp no' while the programs will run to the right and things normally appear on the screen?  Another example is happening on the line using the Explorer - screen pages but look outdated with problems strange such as buttons are invisible - or images have large white rectangles in them.  computer starts slowly and "locks" a lot.  my main computer is very fast - all ratings on the performance page are high – most are 7.9.  somewhere in there, the computer has a confilict THOUGHT for PROGRAMS HE has Windows XP.

    The second computer, I even unplugged all caps - nothing is hung even to monitor but the problem persists.  CLICKS TO APPLY WINDOWS SETTINGS 7 - INSTEAD OF XP - OR IS IT A DISASTER WHERE I HAVE THE GEEK SQUAD TO COME IN?   Thank you

    Even now, I noticed that when I am ready to post the question - computer automatically knew that I have windows 7 - Internet explorer 9.  so computer works but on SOME things - he apparently thinks I have xp.   is it possible that ALL the people that right click and check compatibility, it says 'windows xp' without concern if they windows 7 or not?  have been emailing friends with windows 7 for you, please try and answer - but nobody will answer... (they think it will be the beginning of a nightmare for all of my problems)

    No matter if I click on the red X, go to file-> exit or press Alt + F4 to exit Firefox under Windows Vista Ultimate 32 - bit. It almost always produces an error message that Firefox has stopped working.

    I can't find how to post a JPEG Screenshot of the error here.

    This will not occur under Windows XP Pro.

    Otherwise, the browser works fine in a BONE.

    Those are the two reports of the crash on Adobe Flash Player.

    You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

    • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
    • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
    • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
  • Firefox does not open after the update to 14.0.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate

    Firefox did its automatic update to 14.0.1 and would be more open. I tried to uninstall and reinstall. I tried to add a new profile (which ends not - it crashes when I cliquerai on end). Nothing seems to work. I use Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. It had worked perfectly until this last automatic update,

    I went back to 13.0.1 and disabled the automatic update. Before installing the 13, I blew some left behind registry entries. 13 installed and works very well. Maybe Mozilla can make some better tests in the future for new versions don't cause pain so much. A headache more like that and I'll just go back to IE.

    How can I make the content moves WITH the frame as it is to the left or the right. O.K. works in upwards or downwards direction. If the chassis has been moved to the right, leaving the fixed content, the "buttons" don't work until the frame is moved manually to the left side of the screen. I use Windows 7 Ultimate (x 64-bit) with a LCD 1920 x 1200 in Firefox version 13.0.1 and PORTRAIT orientation. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer or Chrome.

    Hmmm, could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    After that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows does not recognize my Tunsten E2 cable into the USB port.  I went to Device Manager to search for a triangle in order to use Aceeca.  However, there is no triangle.

    I tried using a USB key into the USB port and it worked perfectly.  However, when I tried my cable of tungsten, it's as if nothing happened in the USB port.  No recognition by Windows at all.

    Any viable solution would be much appreciated.

    6. USB connection back into the port.

    7. follow the signs to Aceeca.

    8. everything works.

  • Problem running Windows 7 Ultimate on Toshiba NB 500

    I have a Toshiba NB 500 brand new, bought with Windows7 Starter. I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and performance are terrible.

    The processor works 80-100% beyond 1 GB of RAM are used only by the system and all the programs I try to start takes forever. Is there a hardware problem or the system does not support 7 Ultimate?

    If the system is the problem, how can I go back to Windows 7 Starter, because XP doesn't have drivers for this model?

    In my opinion NB500 is designed for basic operations, as well as to offer the maximum on mobility. I also think that this piece of equipment is not designed to run heavy apps.

    It is small, you can carry it with you everywhere where you go and use for the internet, emails, Skype and some multimedia stuff so I put t understand why do you expect a great performance. Because of these facts, I think that Toshiba doesn't offer a lot of support for this piece of hardware.

    You can try to play with the settings but I don't think it will help.
    > How can I return to Windows 7 Starter
    I think it must be described in the document s user manuals.
