• Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

  I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

• Windows Vista Home Premium - problem "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".

  Nice day

  I had problems with my task manager (I use the operating system "Windows Vista Home Premium"). Evertime I try to access the program, he returns with "task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I used different tools to remove malware and got rid of a lot of problems but still can not in Task Manager.

  I created a new user with administrator account and logged on it and had no problem until my 'Task Manager' program open, but when I went back to my origional administrator account the same problem occurred.

  Why can I get to "Task Manager" in my new account administrator and not the former?
  I still have malware in the old account or do I go into my registry and restore something?

  I am at a loss, and any help would be appreciated. I'm worried that I can always have some kind of malware that prevents me to access my task manager in my old account.

  Please give step by step instructions because I am not computer savvy computer even when it comes to fixing the problems of this kind.

  Thanks in advance.

  I have a HP Pavilion computer processor AMD Sempron 140 2.70 GHZ, 3.00 GB, usable 2.75 GB installed memory. Type of system 64-bit operating system. Windows 7 Home Edition, service pack 1.

  My problem began two months ago, every time that microsoft windows does an automatic update, and then restarts, my screen goes gray and I have to close it using the power button. After doing that it would hire up to my regular office, yesterday it downloaded and got the gray screen, tried to make a closed hard but when he started to log on again it wouldn't start. I had to log on in safe mode with internet connection. They suggested to do a restore, I did that 3 times, still would not start upward using normal startup. He then began using the repair tool on its own and after 45 minutes, I was able to log on and come back to my office. Now I have disabled the automatic update of windows and am afraid to install updates at all. Y at - it something I can do what I can to keep updated on my updates.

  Thanks for your help,

  To better assist you, please answer these questions:

  1. do you get an error message?

  2. What is the item number of kb of the update you have installed?

  I suggest you follow the provided methods to solve the problem:

  Method 1: run the clean boot:

  Perform a clean boot to determine if any 3rd party service is causing the issue:

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

  Note: After performing the steps to clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to Normal startup mode.

   

  Method 2:

  Temporarily disable the security software and check if it helps.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Its Windows XP Home Edition problem

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition, map mother MSI V-Class with integrated Realtek HD Audio but do not get sounds from my computer speakers only when an audio source connected to the outside is used.  All the sounds of the internal computer work fine.  All the devices work properly the Device Manager indicates. No yellow exclamation point or a red X. s all compatible devices.  What is left to do to get an external audio sound? What I'm trying to do is prepare to record LPs on CD.  I'm connecting a phono via a preamplifier and run a cable to Y of the band of the output sockets on the blue line in the port behind my computer.  No sound is emitted from the computer speakers when turned on. I have connected the speakers to the amplifier and got her so I know that the unit is working properly. Then I tried to connect a tape recorder directly in the blue line in the port. Again not sound.  I get a balloon saying that I just plugged a device.   All volume controls are located at halfway.  What could be left to do to play music outside the computer itself and to hear the sounds of computer speakers that work well in the case?

  You have me interested in another tactic on this issue.  What happens if my computer taken are not what they seem?  I went the "input jacks' for 'taken them out' and voila, the sound from an external source! They are wired exactly backward. Line is actually the line outside and vice versa!  You helped me, if inadvertently, to check something I have acquired.  And for that I am very grateful. Thank you very much!

• Printer on a home group problem.

  People have posted similar questions, so I'm sorry about adding it. But I can't seem to find my answer immediately.

  I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. Printer Canon Pixma MP970 is connected by USB cable. I also have a Windows 8 Pro tablet running. I created a homegroup, hoping to be able to share files between the two and use my Tablet printer occasionally. File sharing works fine. However, I can not access the printer at all of the tablet. I followed all the installation instructions. Everything else works, but when I go in the settings of the Tablet homegroup, I never the installation of the printer option. I do not see the printer in printers and devices, and I can't access it from Word on my tablet. I also have Norton 360, but it allows so-called Microsoft network through its firewall. I left the homegroup and started from scratch. Nothing seems to help me access the printer shelf, any suggestions? Thank you.

  I would point out that the problem is solved. Amazon is offering a sale on DVDs of Windows 8 Pro upgrade. For $80, it was worth upgrading my laptop for Windows 8. I decided to do a clean install. Well, now that it's done and my printer is installed on my laptop, I then left my old residential group and created a new. And here, I can now print my tablet. Getting the right printer driver took a little effort, but now it works.

  I think that you must make sure that you ve enabled the + network discovery + on all computers.

  Network discovery is a network setting that determines if your computer can find other computers and devices on the network and whether other computers on the network can see your computer.
  By default, Windows Firewall blocks network discovery, but you can activate it.

  Hi billy,.

  Thanks for posting your request. Yes, it's in real time. However, there are few things to consider:

  1. you are using a wireless internet connection? If Yes, to what extent are you router?
  2. how many computers are connected to collective housing?
  3. have you checked your Internet connection?

  To check your network, you can run the Network Troubleshooter utility. For more information, click on here.

  We must consider these things due to a possible lag time in your collective housing according to the travel time from the data and the speed of the network you have.

• not able to add a windows XP Home netbook to a group windows 7

  When use a USB key to set up the home group for wireless niether the office or the laptop can see each other

  Hello

  Only the computer that is running Windows 7 can join Win7 homegroup.

  ---------------------

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  Hello, I need help with a problem regarding the ability to restrict access to the application to another user on my computer. For some reason any Microsoft does not Group Policy Editor in Windows 7 Home Premium. I need to restrict the access of another user to all .exe files, with the exception of a small list of allowed applications. I would also like to be able to restrict access to control the Panel and all other files and folders. I still need to be able to access all applications and files of my administrator account.

  Hello

  Yes there are other ways around the problem, although the easiest by far would be to
  upgrade to Pro and use Group Policy.

  You may activate just of Panel as needed. for your administrator account.

  Or use a file fighting to move or rename the fichiers.cpl you don't want to do
  be able to run. Restrict access to where you put the files.
