• Microsoft Security Essentials disables Windows Defender in Vista?

  Can error 0x800106ba on any attempt to open code I Defender. I also acquired McAfee at some point, but I uninstalled it hundreds of years ago but I still have the same error message whenever I try to open Windows Defender. Help, please

  It is not fair to McAfee posing problem with the Defender:

  Windows Defender:

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

  Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

  If it's not:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

  Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

  Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

  See you soon.

  Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

  Hello, just to be sure I have the correct information, Windows Defender lights not in Windows Vista with Microsoft Security Essentials, as Essentials has its own version of the Defender.  The error code I received is the same as the previous posts in which is: 0x800106ba.  Again, just to be sure, I understand, I should stop trying to turn Defender because Security Essentials has covered it, okay?

  Hello

  Yes; Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender for the reasons you mentioned.

  If she didn't turn it off, you should manually have to do it anyway.

  This information explains Microsoft explained:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/protect/Forum/MSE-protect_start/Windows-Defender-and-Microsoft-Security-Essentials/5309cb8d-02e1-40E8-974f-0dcedb9ab9fd

  Q: is - this installation of Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7) disable Windows Defender?
  A: Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender in Vista and Windows 7, and then uninstall it from XP. In some cases, this does not happen automatically.
   

  Q: what happens if I do not disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7)?
  A: If Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender are both running, your system can know the performance degradation and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time.

• Cannot install Adobe Acrobat 5 because of Vista compatibility

  I just replaced a XP Pro computer with a 32-bit Vista Business box. XP Pro had Acrobat 5 installed from the CD and more later put upgraded to Acrobat 7 via a download purchase. I have the serial number of the version 7 of the file, but the operation fails due to the absence of a software qualification (the previous version). While trying to install version 5, I get an error of this facility and Vista compatibility. I start here in case there is something with that Microsoft can help you, if not I will contact Adobe for help. Thanks, dave
  PS. If it turns out that Acrobat 7 also has a compatibility issue in Vista, a possibility would be to downgrade to XP Pro.

  Are you referring to the Acrobat authoring application, Yes (not Adobe Reader)?
  If so, I'm sorry to inform you that even Acrobat 7 don't is not supported by Adobe under Vista - only version 8.1 or higher:
  Q. Adobe Acrobat 8 on Windows Vista support?
  A. prior to shipping in November 2006, Adobe has tested Adobe Acrobat 8 software on
  beta versions of Windows Vista. We are now actively testing Acrobat on the shipping
  editions of Windows Vista. Visitors can install and run Acrobat 8 today with some
  known issues. (FND out more on these issues, please visit www.adobe.com/go/support and)
  Search on the keyword Vista in the Adobe knowledge base). In the first half of 2007, we
  Expect to issue a free update to Acrobat 8 to support Windows Vista.
   
  Acrobat 7.0 and earlier versions do not support Windows Vista. Adobe does not provide for
  release updates to Acrobat 7.0 and earlier for Windows Vista compatibility.
  (from http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/adobe_products_and_windows_vista.pdf )

  You will need to contact Adobe for assistance - this isn't a matter of MS (much less a problem of 'Vista'), it is rather a question of Adobe.

• Create a disc of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is designed for up to Windows XP with Vista work. Is this possible?

  Create a disc of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is designed for up to Windows XP with Vista work. Is this possible?

  Hi Silas Martin,

  I have not used Britannica for many years now, but I suppose there is a program of "installation"? If so, try compatibility mode.

  1 / locate the setup.exe (or install file) for the program of Britannica

  2 / right click on the file setup.exe or install.exe, and in the drop-down menu, select Properties.

  3 / in the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab

  4 / on the Compatibility tab place a 'TICK' in the box beside the box "run this program in compatibility mode for", then select the operating system Windows XP (Service Pack 3). This should automatically appear in the box under the run this program in compatibility mode for option. If Windows XP is not visible, then click on the arrow down to see a selection of the available operating system options.

  5 / click OK

  6 / the installation program will now begin to install the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP

  7 / once done, you should be able to run the program as if you were using Windows XP

• CDMA Motorola MS600 drivers for Windows 7 or Vista 64-bit

  Hello

  Could someone tell me where to find the drivers for Windows 7 or Vista 64 bit for Korean CDMA Motorola MS600 phone.

  Thank you
  Franck

  They are the ones who write drivers for their products, not from Microsoft.

  It is regrettable, but these days, they prefer to sell a new product.

  Whatever you decide to buy, check its compatibility Vista and Windows 7 as well:
