    a. open indexing and Search Options by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Indexing Options.

My Toshiba Service Station does not work and tried to contact Toshiba as well, but yet they want the money for technical advice. I know that somebody here is tech savey and I am disabled and do not have the money to repair this laptop so please can someone there give me info on how to get back to his old self of my machine? Oh and btw, I did a system restore, but this message from Catalyst Control Center is yet to come. PLEASE HELP ME AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    updates, particularly of driver updates.
    In regard to it and the fake driver software installed. If you started having problems after that Windows updates don't you have a restore point from the system that dates back to before that you did? If so do the system restore and then move on the updates again. Restoration can even delete 'wiz pilot' with a bit of luck.

    Now - 'Catalyst Control Center host has stopped working"I suppose you were
    get this error before the debacle "Pilot Wiz"?
    I uninstall the drivers ATI and the CCC software via programs and features and then go to the download page of Toshiba for new drivers. It can be pilots became corrupt, but the "updater" does not know this. It checks only to a version of file.
    Personally, I do not use updates of autopilots. Best to download the installer and install manually, if Toishiba have this option.

    Hello Shenmue,

    We will try a few things. The first thing is to check to make sure that you have the latest and greatest drivers. Microsoft will install drivers for your video card, but they may not always have the best.

    You can find the driver from making page for your card video here

    AMD - Support & drivers

    If you don't know which drivers to use the tool available to them on their Web site.

    The next thing is an easy control and is usually not the case, but it is always important to check and it's to make sure that the directory it is trying to run is not hidden.

    Go to c:\ and right-click on the users. Select Properties. On the general tab, look down to the hidden selection. If not, there is a box to tick in the box, place a check mark. Hit apply, select Yes to apply to all subdirectories. If you click ok, you may notice that he disappeared in the pane on the right, once it ends. It should always appear in the tree view on the left. Right click on it again. This time, remove the check mark and apply to all subdirectories.

    Hello

    ·        What games you try to play?

    ·        McAfee is installed on the system?

    I suggest to uninstall Mcafee from the system and check.

    C0000005T is a code of access violation. It is the operating system telling you that a program has malfunctioned. It has nothing specific to do with a particular program, or a brand of software, this is straight from the CPU and kernel of the operating system.

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to do a clean boot.

    a. log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights

    b. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    c. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    d. under the general tab, click Selective startup and then click to clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

    e. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    c. under the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    d. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the problem is solved, check which third-party program is causing the problem. For more information, see the article mentioned below.
