• I've been doing a series of phone calls telling me that my license key for my Windows is about to expire. Is it a reality or just somone trying to rip me off?

  Last week to 10 days, I received lots of calls from someone called PC Support (which sound as if they come from the India) telling me that they want to access my PC to show me the problems that are reported to them from my ISP about something and real operating system Windows on the license key is about to expire.

  I suspect that it is a new scam to try to sell the product, anti-virus/malware any... but it got me wondering whether or not it is a real-world scenario.

  Can someone me one way or another?

  Thank you.

• Update Windows shows about 100 updates important to apply. How would you recommend I do. I'm afraid to apply the patches to 100 at a time. Those who would be safer to start with? Thank you

  The manufacturer has replaced the HD on my computer laptop 64 bit Windows 7.  Update Windows shows about 100 updates important to apply.  I can't find patches that I had previously applied in the list of applied hotfixes or patches to apply list.  I don't understand why this is.  How would you recommend I do.  I'm afraid to apply the patches to 100 at a time.  Those who would be safer to start with?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I suggest you only begin to install the important updates (recommended) first and later if you want you can install optional updates. All Windows update are safe to install and it is important to install the update and recommended by Microsoft. It keeps your computer safer and your software current to date and if you want Windows to install important updates as they become available, turn on automatic updating. Important updates provide significant benefits, such as improved security and reliability. You can also set Windows to automatically install recommended updates, which can address non-critical problems and help enhance your computing experience. Optional updates are not downloaded or installed automatically.

• Windows apparently can't stand Vista more means can't be upgraded to Vista Business from Home Premium?

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 using a Vista Home Premium x 64 OS and I want to upgrade the operating system Vista Business but what I understand that MS can't stand Vista does that mean I can't do this? Is there another place I can buy a 3rd type company. third-party software for my portable computer? I read an answer in the system here that said I can improve, but the question and the answer was written in ' 09 and I don't think that's relevant today. Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  you have never been able to do this upgrade

  You can't put Vista Home Premium to Vista Business; This is NOT an upgrade path

  Home Premium to Business must be done with a clean installation using a patented FULL vista

  You can upgrade Home Premium to Ultimate

  Ultimate includes the enterprise features

  to buy it test a computer repair shop and ask them to left over copies

  purchase online can be fraught with dangers of piracy

• New on windows - question about installations of update failed

  I am new to Windows, but recently purchased a netbook with Windows 7. I also installed Norton Internet Security.  I do not use the netbook every day, so every time I restart, I ensure that I update Windows and Norton.  Today, I watched the history of update and discovered that some elements did not install on other occasions. I don't know whether to worry about this or not.  If the elements have failed to install, say, two weeks ago, Windows Update would not try to install them again when I ran the update engine then?  I have received no notification on this topic - I just noticed this by looking at the history of update.

  While some of the elements initially appear in history as 'impossible' later appear as "successful", I can't find two articles among the facilities of 'success'  They are:

  (1) definition update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (. 1.79.702.0) and

  (2) definition update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (1.75.377.0.)

  Since the date where these two updates could not be installed, there are several successful installations of security for Windows upgrades and updates security cumulative for Internet project.

  I am now, I was wondering if the above is not updates of definition for Defender could have been included in the broader future updates.  Or should I still worry that these two items do not have install and try to do it manually?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  If you use Norton 360, please turn off windows Defender. If the Defender and norton are 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.

  It is very important to update the virus definitions regularly. Otherwise you will not be protected against the latest threats

  Swede08, Norton 360 provides complete protection. However for a home user, I won't recommend that Norton 360 or other paid antivirus solutions

  You can use Microsoft security essentials. Its free of cost. Its your choice and depends on you and what kind of protection you need

• Sounds and Wi - Fi are unusable after the awakening of Windows XP SP3 of stand-by

  original title: XP SP3 cannot wake up from standby correctly

  I recently upgraded my system from Windows XP SP2 to SP3 and installed onenote 2010 professional office 2010 but still not active. I found if I maintain my system, and cannot be used as alarm clock, sound and wireless.

  When I click the speaker button, I can hear the sound of 'Bang', which implies a mistake, and a pop-up box displays saying that «...» No audio mixer table cannot be found... ». I can't play music or watch the video.

  When I find out wireless available in the range, he said: "another program manages wireless" these words. But I have installed no utility to manage my wireless.

  There could be another problem. So far, I find just above two.

  After the system restarts, everything is recovered, until next time, I stand by my system.

  Hi Edwin.Xi,

  Given that you have upgraded your system from Windows XP SP2 to SP3, you may need to consult the manufacturer's Web site and download and install the latest version for Wi - Fi and sound drivers and check if that helps:

• Everytime I open Thunderbird, it opens the program twice (IE in 2 identical windows), started about 3 weeks, how to fix?

  Weird, I click the Thunderbird icon, and the program opens twice (identical), into two identical windows (as 2 on the taskbar), but if I close one of them, both close and the program stops. How can I fix?

  Close them with alt + f4 and see if it persists.

• How can I eliminate the websites stored in the window bar 'about: home' with the yellow star at the end of the right hand. I don't want this meemory store.

  I use Windows XP. I get a list of web sites visited previously when I enter data in the navigation toolbar (topic: home... with the yellow star at the end of the right hand of it). I don't want to get this list of web sites due to privacy issues. I can't understand how to remove.
  I get a page of search of AVG, after that I entered the stuff in Google that I don't particularly want to.

  Entries in the bar location drop-down list with a yellow star (blue on Mac) at the right end of the bookmarks and Scripture cannot be cleared from the location bar menu drop down with the delete key.
  
  You can delete this an item marked with a bookmark that appear in the list, if you open this url in a tab and click on the yellow star in the address bar.
  
  This will open the "Edit this bookmark" dialog box and you can click on the delete button to delete the bookmark if you want to delete such an entry marked with a bookmark.

• Windows 7 - BSOD after stand-by

  Hello, I have been using Win7 x 86 on my Satellite A210-131 Since RC Build 7100, in the meantime, I've upgraded to Win7 professional through MSDNAA.
  Since moving from Vista to 7, I get a blue screen some time (random) after I recover from the day before. All the drivers are up to date (that I know), no other problems have yet taken place. But as I use my laptop at the University, stand-by is almost a must - have for me.

  Does anyone have an idea what might create the blue screen?

  Thank you

  Until you have tested and good drivers for Win7 preinstalled, no one can tell what the problem is here.
  When you have the right drivers try it again and let us know if the problem persists.
  To discuss any bad functioning, but using the combination of drivers Win7 and Vista makes no sense to me.

• anyone receive calls from computer warnings Windows Rep.about?

  said he went to Microsoft Windows on my computer made me do a start and assumed he was of Winow. Said I had a lot of problems and had to go through and the next thing there is a page, and it was all the mistakes, said there could be charges and came with 559 dollars. I refused and close the info. Says he will call again to conform to i chage my mind... it's my first time here.

  This is the second time iI received this call. People I spoke were East Indian, says it is Microsoft Windos > that's familiar to anyone else?

  It is a fairly common scam.  From what I've seen, he seems to be more prevalent in the United Kingdom.

  The right answer is to hang up if someone says that he or she "is to Microsoft."  Microsoft is never the unsolicited calls to Windows users.

  In no case allow any such appellant to have access to your computer and don't provide any personal information, including credit card information.

  You can also get a phone number on which you can recall and then report the incident to your local police.

• Windows Update is blocked/stands/the download. MSE is hooked on the download of the update. "Preparation set up windows." message on farm.

  I have Windows Update problems , starting on 25/05/10.  I've updated from Windows XP Pro sp3 for Win7 Pro in January and had no problems until 4 days ago.

  -The update says, there are updates available, but by clicking on the download button, it crashes just at 0%.

  -MSE did the same at a standstill in the middle of updates

  -Furthermore, I get the message 'preparation set up windows.  Do not turn off your computer"when I turned off the computer , but not when I turn it on.  I ended up leaving it and the computer is off when I wake up the next morning.  It does not when I turn on the computer.

  -Win7 now has an icon in the task bar that says ' Windows is downloading updates (all 95%). ", but stated that, for 4 days, and nothing is downloaded.

  -I have no update failed I can find in the history of the update.

  -Convenience store has not fixed anything.

  -Remove pending.xml and reboot.xml did not work.  There is a reboot.xml in the directory, but no pending.xml file.  Any attempt to remove reboot.xml (modification date 26/12/2009) generated the message: "You need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file."  Attempts to delete the file in an administrator command prompt was an error: "access is denied".

  -There is no restore points saved for me to come back to.  System Restore has not been configured properly and had no space to save a restore point (it does now).

  -starting in safe mode works very well.  Restart in SafeMode to normal mode works great, but the problems persist.

  So what's next?

  Run MSE and COMODO firewall, running before errors start with no problems.

  Did you or did you not (1) uninstall Comodo Firewall, (2) active Windows Firewall, (3) reset Windows Update by KB971058 (the difficulty it running in mode by DEFAULT and AGGRESSIVE) and (4) then restarted?

  [I will not go into a lengthy discussion on firewalls or preferences for the same thing here: Comodo Firewall and MSE do not play well together.] [I wouldn't have installed both.]
