  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  Microsoft does ever not requested for telephone calls of support or security.

• Microsoft never call their users? I just got a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft and he wanted me to run something.

  I just got a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft. It was obviously of the India. In any case, he said that there are problems with my computer and it asked me to do something, I would not.  He hung up. He told me to click the button of windows on my keyboard. Then he told me type something in and running. But I refused. I said, how end I call Microsoft and give them your name... HE HUNG UP.

  Hello DianeMcGettigan,

  It is simply one of the many scams that are doing the tour.

  Unless you have a prepaid support contract with Microsoft, then Microsoft will never contact you by phone, mail or e-mail about problems with your PC. You did while refusing to allow him access to your PC. All they want to do is to have access to your PC, so they can steal personal data (banking etc.) on your part.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• I am trying to install Windows 7 on my hard drive, but the installer tells me that I need the driver "Promise Technology Inc. Ultra IDE Controller".

  I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a (40.1 GB) partition on my hard drive, but the installer tells me that I need the driver (Promise Technology Inc. Ultra IDE Controller.  I searched the Internet and tried several, but no results.  Can someone point me in the right direction.  I have a box to open with Technical Support, but not a lot of help out there.

  Thanks in advance

  original title: installation of Windows 7

  Hey Joe,

  I suggest that you visit the gigabyte website for your region (and/or the site global http://www.gigabyte.com/?f=g ) and check your motherboard for compatibility with Windows 7.

  The problem you are experiencing would imply that Windows 7 has no native driver support for your disk controller, so if Gigabyte don't have drivers that you are locked unless you buy a discreet disk controller that is compatible Windows 7.

  Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

  On the other hand, you have this posted in a forum of Windows XP when it is really a problem of Windows 7.

• I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version but online there is version 40 + and it won't let me install it.

  My OS is Windows 10. I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version. However, I got emails telling me to upgrade to the latest version which seems to be in the 40s. When I go to the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ website, it tells me
  "Looks like you are using an older version of Firefox."

  So I click on upgrade and it loads a file "stub". I close in Firefox, go to the folder where the file is located and run it. At the end of the process, he told me that Firefox still works and I have to close it for the new version to load. Then I go to the Task Manager, and he told me that no request to don't run! I went through this process three times without any positive result.

  What to do?

  I'll answer your question, but I suggest not changing your version of Firefox until find us out if having to do any with your plant, discussed here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1078897

  At some point, there are two different versions of Firefox:

  • Public release of the standard/large: currently Firefox 40.0.2
  • Extended support release (ESR): currently Firefox 38.2.0

  The version of ESR is intended for companies who need maximum stability for their users. New features usually are not added for at least six months, although security patches are issued approximately every six weeks.

  You want to switch to the standard version? If so, this is how I suggest to do:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 40.0.2 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

  (C) to rename the program folder, either:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\FxESR
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\FxESR
  

  (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \FxESR\Plugins
  • \FxESR\browser\plugins

• How can I play the songs that are in the format of .wma on my PC using my Desktop 4.0.9.17 Windows XP iTunes app?

  How can I play the songs that are in the format of .wma on my PC using my Desktop 4.0.9.17 Windows XP iTunes app?

  Thank you

  Hello Ristrawn,

  Thank you for your message.  There is no way to play .wma in the iTunes player.  You will need to find a 3rd party software to convert .wma to .mp3 files.  From there, you would be able to listen to the MP3 in the iTunes player.
  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
  See you soon

• 1 program still needs to be closed: (waiting for) task host window's task to stop execution and stopping tasks that are already running

  While the closure of the pc I got the message: "1 program still needs to be closed: (pending of) task host window's task to stop execution and stop tasks that are already running".but there is no program running and I have to force it to close.how to solve?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  Windows, then closing, checks all open programs. If there is, it sends a request for the program to close and wait until the program closes safely, to avoid any loss of data. But, Windows is waiting for some specified
  If you are sure that none of the programs are obviously open, you can try the following steps:
  Press Windows key + r, Type regedit and pres enter. If UAC prompts, click Yes. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> expand System-> expand CurrentControlSet-> click on command (exapnd no do this). When you click (or select) control, you can see WaitToKillServiceTimeout. Double-click it to change the value. Set the value to 500 or less than that. Click Ok, and then close the registry editor. Now, restart the PC. If the problem persists, stop and try again and check.
  Be careful with registry access as incorrect values or remove the unknown keys can prevent Windows to start and it will fix it.
  Response if the issue is not resolved.

• Why, when I send an email using windows mail (RoadRunner ISP) sometimes it does not transmit the image that are in the original.

  Why, when I send an email using windows mail (RoadRunner ISP) sometimes it does not transmit the image that are in the original.

  Some messages are not complying with the standards of the Internet and the images do not show before their delivery.  You can overcome this by transmitting the message as an attachment instead, and then the images will be intact.

• Windows microsoft never does unsolicted phone calls to its users of the products?

  I got a phone call from someone with a strong Indian accent yesterday (hard so communication) who claimed to be the center of windows, yhey said they had problems detected in my computer, and could I turn on the computer, to help clear it up. They also suggested that they would shut down windows on my computer. I asked to speak to a supervisor, or for them to send me an email detailing their concerns. the person seems to cover these requests, so I hung up. did microsoft ever do the unsolicited calls to its customers?

  It is a scam.  Don't let them have access to your computer remotely and don't give them any personal information, including your credit card number.  Simply hang up.

  Microsoft never takes unsolicited phone calls, or they do not know if/when you are experiencing computer problems.
