  I have reviewed all the files except the program files and System 32 and has done a lot of deletion due my computer of spinning and spinning and spinning... etc.  After that I tried to analyze something and scan it gave me a message that there is no driver found.  I tried to reinstall the driver and tried to reinstall another driver to a different scanner, but my computer does not have a configuration.  Can someone help me with this?

• Services of Windows Vista 64 does not, please help!

  Hi thanks for reading.

  Noticed the other day my firewall is not running. A few weeks ago my AVG anti virus asked me if I wanted to move to a premium account for a 30 day trial and contained their own version of a firewall. He said that he would resort to Windows Firewall when finished.

  30 days passed, and he asked me to return to the original settings and the free version. I don't check if windows firewall started running.

  And so back when I noticed.

  What Ive tried: Panel > Security > windows firewall - says "windows firewall does not use recommended settings to help protect your computer" and there is a button for "update settings now" which when you click on it, I get the thing of glass hour for a few seconds and nothing happens.

  Run > services.msc > Windows Firewall - said State 'arrested' firewall service and when you are prompted to start, gives me error 6801

  Also noticed now that windows update and windows Defender will not be updated. Windows update search updates, but up quickly the code Error 80070426 and once again, to enforce > services > windows update/defender does not work.

  Then in flicking around, I have observed under the information system in 'computer' tab, he says: 'this copy of windows is not activated, click here to activate now' and Im thinking it is crazy! I have not had my PC very long, but I have activated vista right after that I installed it when buying. If I click on the link, and it says: 'a problem occurred when Windows tried to activate. Error code 0x80070426

  Edit: just thought of something that can help. Awhile back, before this all started, windows update prompted me one afternoon to install Service Pack 2 and I thought "why not?" Well, after a complete system failure and me to have my friend rally and he manages to get into the command prompt and run 2 types of checkdisk, I go back to my computer. Now, I don't think it off anything, or whatever it may be disabled, but something could have been damaged?

  IM puzzled and any help would be massively appreciated! If anyone needs more info, let me know!

  System information:

  Vista Home Premium 64-bit
  Intel Core2Duo E8400 2x3ghz
  8 GB RAM

  Kind regards

• After installing windows XP Pro my computer does not start correctly

  After you have installed Windows XP Pro on my HP Pavilion (updated to XP home), my computer will not end the restart process.  I have repeatedly in a loop once the blue screen with the HP logo.  When this has happened before after installing a pack of updates for XP Home, we just started in safe mode and then had it will restart at an earlier time, thus eliminating the updates.  However, now when I try to start in safe mode, I get an error message that says: "Windows Setup cannot start in safe mode" and I leave safe mode.  We hoped that by installing Windows XP Pro, this problem should go away.  Can anyone help?  I have read several other entries in the forum for similar problems, but they all have to do with updates.  This is the first time I was not able to use safe mode, so now I'm stuck.  I hope that I can avoid having to perform a full system recovery, since it is a long involved process and having once before, I always felt the same restart problems after installing updates.

  PA bear,

  Thank you for help... After reading several posts in the forum, one of them reminded people to check with the manufacturer of the computer so that possible solutions... and this is the solution here, I wish I thought of him earlier... I did a system recovery to remove the Windows HP Pro and return to the original version of the default value.  Then I went to the HP site and downloaded the patch according to their directions.  Problems fixed! :-)

  Any PERSON HAVING HARD REBOOT YOUR HP PAVILION (with an AMD processor) after you install Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 updates:

  HP has a patch that solved all my problems.  Clearly, service packs contain information for Intel processors that is in conflict with AMD processors in many HP Pavilion desktop computers.  You can go to their customer service solutions website and download the patch.  Since I did it, I had no other problems. I wish just that I had discovered the solution until I had to do a full system recovery.

  If your computer hangs on reboot 'loop', see if this info. HP will help you:

  The computer restarts after a Stop error message display 0x0000007E (after update with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP)

  If you have had problems with XP updates, including service pack 2 or 3, try this page:

• I have problems on windows 7 64 bit of fallout 3 Please help me

  Fallout 3 for windows 7, I bought some time ago and before that I could play, but now it crashes when I try to start a new game someone please help me

  What are your system specs? FO3 will run on Win7 with compatibility for spe SP or sp1 for Vista.
  There are also one couple of other fixes not related to Win7.

  (1) the game has a problem with the quad-core processors
  Open the fallout.ini file in My Documents\My Games\Fallout3 (make a copy first to backup)
  Find the line:
  bUseThreadedAI = 0 (open the ini with Notepad file - click on Edit - can find - copy this line and paste it into the find what box)
  her take: bUseThreadedAI = 1
  -Add another line (press ENTER on keyboard) after him and insert: (copy and paste the following line)
  iNumHWThreads = 2
  -This limit the set for 2 hearts and prevent the engine bug to cause the game to freeze.
  (2) download and install Windows 7 Codec Pack - this will fix a problem with ffdshow codec.
  http://www.windows7codecs.com/
  (3) install the latest drivers for you graphics card and audio of the mfg web site.
  (4) updated Direct X with the installer of X Web live - should be done even if there is no problem with Direct X with FO3.
  Download details: DirectX end-user performance

  (5) install all the Windows Update 'important', but don't forget to setup as Windows updates in order to not
  install "optional" without you updates by selecting, in particular drivers graphics.

  If you still have problems please visit FO3 Nexus - the best site for all games - Bethesda
  Nexus Forums

  EDIT: I recently bought a 120 Hz monitor and just discovered the game freezes up if the
  monitor is set to 100 or 120 Hz. 60 Hz has no problem.

• Error message saying "c:\windows\system32\fadcaxoi.dll specific module not found" help?

  Whenever I start my pc (Windows XP Home Edition, ed), this message pops up. If I click on it goes and everything seems to work ok but obv there is a problem.

  I tried to restore windows disk problem persists

  Thanks in advance for any help

  It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.

  I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.

  These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.

  Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.

  There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.  If you do not have a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, the chances are good that your system is currently or has been infected by malware.
  A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
  It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
  Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
  So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

  You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

  If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
  If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
  Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry
  . There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
  Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html
  You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
  Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
  When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
  The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
  Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
  If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
  You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
  Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply turn off (uncheck the entry), reboot, and if the problem is resolved and things work normally and everything works fine, then delete the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
  Given that your system has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
