This happens for some time or since the first day. If it's not too long, and if you remember a good date when you did not have this problem, do a system restore.

  • Windows help keeps popping up when you press the happy.

    Hi, I am currently using an HP XT's spectrum that runs on Windows 8. Two days previously, when I press SHIFT C, the capital C is not at all.  Therefore, I press Caps Lock shift but this triggers a Windows Help is displayed.  This can be very irritating, especially when I'm typing a document. Anyone would be able to tell me how to activate the 'Shift C' keys, as well as to turn off the help pop-up windows when you press the CAPS LOCK key.?  Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello Lai,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    If it works well before? If YES, you did important equipment or modifications to the software on the computer before this problem?

    The issue could rest with the material if it is a keyboard mapping problem. Then, I recommend you to connect an external keyboard with the ultrabook and check. If the external keyboard works fine, then you may need to contact the manufacturer of your system (hp) for the same problem.

    If you get the same problem with the external keyboard, the issue may rest with the keyboard or corrupt drivers.

    In this case, I suggest you to update the drivers for the chipset of your ultrabook. You can view the following link to do so:

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

    Windows Mail does not start by itself.  Go to start | Search and type in msconfig and then disable startup items selectively until you discover which program is responsible for the outbreak of Winmail.  Ask the store what they were doing.

  • Someone at - he finds the solution for windows installer keep popping up?

    This has nothing to do with any application.  Error 1706.  Help!

    Hello

    1. have you made software changes recently?

    Method 1.
    It seems that there is a background app that launches the installer of Windows. We can perform a boot minimum troubleshooting to find the same thing. You need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow the steps as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.

    Method 2.
    Also, I recommend reregister you the Installer engine.
    Here's how:
    a. Click Start, click Accessories and then click command prompt.
    b. at the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER after each line:
     
    MSIExec /Unregister

  • The Windows Installer keeps popping up repeatedly tried to install Win Media Gallery

    Windows Installer continues to appear repeatedly, trying to install Win Media Gallery.  When I accept it tells me it cannot locate a msi file - defeats what it started - only for the popup to come back.  I took the drive using the disable windows in the control panel features, but that doesn't stop her.

    My OS is Windows 7HE - which is bang up to date.
    I tried virus checkers etc, but the installer appears everytime I open one of any number of programs.   The onl; are there common thing is always wanting to install windows media gallery - which I do not think that I have ever used!
    Help, please

    With regard to fixing or uninstallation of what would be your call.

    Windows live essentials 2011 includes, direct mail / live photo gallery / live movie maker and a few other features that I don't remember.

    Everything I personally is manufacturer of Gallery and photo film installed.

    If you can activate the program and then do a selective activation like me and never use it :)

    At least you can review some of them and decide for yourself and maybe get rid of the popup in the process?

    See you soon.

  • Cannot get rid of Symantec Anti-virus. - a windows installer window keeps popping up referring to Symantec after uninstalling symantec.

    I have problems wiping out anti-virus from Symantec. I deleted everything that I could find has nothing to do with it, so I thought, but a windows window installation keeps popping up referring to Symantec, prompts me to insert my disc (which I don't have) and then displays an error. It does this randomly. I installed something else and he said everything is ok. Is my problem in the temporary files or I'm not pushing the right buttons?

    Tried Norton Removal Tool?

    You're more likely to get the best advice if you include:

    • the exact application you are trying to uninstall, including version
    • the version of Windows you have, including the service pack
    • the full text of the error messages you see, without paraphrasing
    • what you have done so far, in addition to details "I deleted everything I could find.
  • Please can someone explain why the windows Installer keeps appearing when nothing is installed? Any way to stop this?

    Why the Windows Installer keep popping up, either on a web page or an e-mail to the office when nothing is installed.  No way to stop that... ?

    The desktop of your computer, click on the tab "Start", usually located at the bottom left of the screen (on Vista, it's maybe the windows symbol instead of the word 'Start').

    Now, find and click on the program title 'run '. Vista users can locate this program by typing "run" in the area of research at the bottom of the menu 'start '.

    Once you open 'Run', type 'MSCONFIG' in the empty box and click 'OK '. This will open the System Configuration utility.

    With the open System Configuration utility, select the tab "Services".

    Scroll down the list of services (it may be advantageous to click on the 'service' column to sort the services by alphabetical order) until you find the program "Windows Installer".

    Now, click on the checkbox next to the name of the Windows Installer and click on the button 'Disable' at the bottom of the Configuration of the system.

  • Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.

    I tried all the things in the virus check to clean start windows 7 to recharge. The help and Support windows keeps popping up. Why can not simply disable the "helpane.exe"? I can't delete it as it is. To do this I'll have to get another computer.  I had to put it in my computer to work with the pop up window, I can't do anything else!

    Well, I encountered this problem and I see a lot of people ask this question, but I understood what my question was, maybe this will help you if you are still having the problem or others have the problem.

    The problem I had is that there is not exactly the impression that "Help and Support" said anything, but it was, he told me that he tried to open an unsupported help file (something that we install shows a help when your connection after a restart file).  So basically, if you use an older program that has files of help that are not supported by Windows 7 or Vista, it comes up with a general help and screen Support saying that he could not open the help file, but not telling me that you or give me an idea as using that file has problems.  I worked a little with our software and knew what help file was being pulled up, I have therefore been able to stop it, but I suggest to check the help files for your software to see which ones that might not work.

  • Windows Help and support keeps popping up.

    I have a hp system I used for aroud 2 years. but for these last days, windows help and support keeps popping up. I checked all the keys of the keyboard, tried to reinstall windows, worked well for 2 days, tried safe mode, but the problem doesn't go away. On-screen keyboard in my system shows that the key to the 'window' is pressed permanently, but it is not. Help, please!

    Hello

    1. What is the brand and model of the keyboard?

    2. have you made any changes to the computer?

    3 have you tried the same keyboard on another computer or another keyboard on the HP system to see if the problem occurs?

    Since the question does not appear 2 days after you have reinstalled Windows, it is possible that some changes have caused the problem as recently installed updates.

  • Windows 8 programs and start menu keep popping up randomly help!

    OK so I started a program of windows 8, I hide and go to my desktop and use chrome etc. programs all minutes from this program, I hid continues to appear, I close it and it keeps popping up for 3 - 5 times and then it disappears. Anyone know what causes this?

    PROBLEM SOLVED (for me)!  I had this problem for a week on my new computer.  Seemed that the 'Start' button has been continually pressed.  Do you happen to have a wireless keyboard that you have changed out for another which is always close to your computer... like I did.  Turns out I forgot to pull the battery in my wireless keyboard and also has not entered the USB for remote transmitter/receiver.  I got the keyboard on a shelf above the computer.  The button 'Start' was pressed against a book so it was always "pressed" and always communicate with the computer.  Just happened to do that, when I thought if something goes wrong with my original keyboard.  When I out took it of the shelf, the problem stopped.  I hope this helps!
