Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    Windows Vista security alert sending indicating virus attack and does not allow me to get security alerts.  How to bypass or disable?  I have another anti-spyware (Kapersky) program that manages all aspects and indicates no virus found.

    The 'alert' is not from Vista. Your computer is infected by a rogue security program. It's called "thugs" because he pretended to be a good guy but is really bad. Don't pay them!

  • I have Outlook Express e-mail Icon stick on opening and does not end is there too much mail, how can I fix it?

    When you click the icon to open my Outlook Express icon (envelope) sticks on the screen of the monitor and does not open. Is there a way to get into the program to remove at least half or the whole of all the e-mail. It was not opening now for several days if I'm afraid it's risk of stuck with e-mail. I have been looking for a job online and get a ton of e-mail. I can get through the control panel and I think I saw the problem, but I don't know how to remove it. Help!

    I welcome suggestions. Rosemary

    Folders.dbx is probably damaged.

    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    The path to the message will be very similar to this:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

    With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Note these possible side effects:

    When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.

    I have a few questions about your concerns:

    (a) game in which you try to read?

    (b) is this the case with all games or any game in particular?

    (c) you are trying to play the games that are built with Window Vista?

    You can also try the suite of measures to define the association:

    1. open the control panel. (Classic view)

    2 click the default programs icon.

    3 click on the link associated with a file type or Protocol with a program . (See screenshot below)

    4 click the extension file type to change which program .exe association opens. (See screenshot below)

  • Windows Vista install the new WD hard drive empty - does not not :(

    It was my original question: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/HP-Pavillion-a6645f-No-hard-drive-detected-BIOHD-2-err...

    And now...

    I got my CD of HP recovery and ordered a new WD 500 GB HDD... same features as the seagate who pooped me and I can't get windows install on the new HD

    No matter what I do, computer wants to open the Recovery Manager and according to the available procedure does not work.  It works me in circles asking for #1 drive, then the drive recovery supplement and back with no progress.

    What I have to do is use this form: http://vistahomepremium.windowsreinstall.com/installnewhdd/installnewhdd.htm but only the Recovery manager opens when I boot from the CD.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    If I followed your questions correctly... you had a BIOHD-2 error, ordered HP recovery discs, replaced the hard drive and tried to restore your system with no luck. Is that a correct assessment of the situation?

    OK, you need to make a Windows Vista install screen... not who's going to go with your HP recovery CD/DVD. The disks do not contain the Windows installation routine, only the HP Recovery Manager. These discs contain more or less, an image of the HP installed OS and software, plus some drivers and applications. To the best of my knowledge, you should have three DVDs (1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3/3) more an additional drive. You should boot from CD 1 of 3... Then, when asked to insert the 2/3... Then, when asked to insert 3/3. And finally if/when necessary additional drive.

    I thought that captivate 7 includes many options for HTML5, most of the animation does not. text animation, swf. I'm really disappointed.

    Are you French? I tried to explain that Flash, SWF is not supported for HTML5 because he will be banned from all devices (except PC desktop and laptop). Text animations are also SWF. Sorry, but your question already proved that you are not only a beginner in Captivate, but in the world of SWF-HTML5.

  • Web page does not display the toolbar or dashboard and can not resize screen

    I'm unable to decrease the size of the screen when you use the web to display the toolbar tool and dashboard.  I went through different places to try to find a correction, but I can't find what I did accidentally or what the computer did to cause this problem and how to fix it.  Thank you for your help.

    Hi Nancydo,

    What application are you when you mention that you "use the web" and can not see the dashboard and toolbar?

    If you use Safari, the menu bar, are you able to click View > actual size?   Otherwise try file > close all windows in Safari.

    Have you restarted the computer?  Many times this will reset all default settings, including the sizes of windows.

    Also, check system preferences > display and make sure that the option "by default to display" is selected for the resolution.

    The resources below will provide additional information on the preferences of the system in general and the display options of Safari in particular.  Your profile says you are using OS X Lion.  These resources are for OS X Lion of the mountains, but they are very similar.

  • The names of files and documents is displayed automatically with '. RRT' and does not open.

    I had been using windows 8.1 pro until last month when one day all my documents and files names appears with '. RRT' at the end of the tail. The day before, that I can remember, I had tried to free up the space of the drives c and d by removing unused and temporary files. I had also deleted some system files, where I could probably and unintentionally deleted some important system. Therefore, no office paper was reading and writing. I tried a few Microsoft office online supports, convenience stores, diag apps, but nothing has worked.

    I then uninstalled windows 8.1 and installed windows 7, tried some recovery methods and tools, in fact, it's always "RTT" at the tail. I have a pair of drive but that was created during the windows 8.1 platform and now it's windows 7.

    Now, I want a solution 2 at the same time

    (1) is it possible and how to return to my previous windows operating system 8.1 from the windows repair disc I have with me?

    (2) what is this format RRT, how she appeared? And how to recover or repair all my documents and files?

    Please advice...

    There was a similar post in this forum about a month ago. Its author has finally found his machine had been infected by ransom ware. All his files have been encrypted. If he paid the ransom his records might (?) get decrypted.

    If you can download one of these files to a cloud storage location or send it to me (pegasusDOTfnlATgmailDOTcom), then I might be able to tell you more. Don't forget to specify what type of file it should be (.docx, .pdf, etc.).

  • where can I download windows 7 premium or ultimate edition in order to update my windows vista basic

    I have the product key for my Windows Vista Basic Home Edition;  but I can not find windows 7 premium or ultimate edition to download and upgrade my windows vista computer.  I am looking in the Microsoft page and I can't find the Advisor to upgrade windos I have laready run. Now I need a direction to download windows 7 anyone can help me?

    Thanks in advance

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.
