  You must save your stuff important on an external and reinstall your entire system since the manufacturer's recovery partition. You can find instructions for this on the site of manufacturer support.

  If you have no recovery partition, follow...

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  Immediately after having re-installed, the next task is to make all Windows, including SP1 updates if your floppy drive or the partition recovery date before the service pack.

  Then install your antivirus solution. Avoid using McAfee or Norton. It is a good solution, free and easy to use...

• Computer has been infected by the worm 32 blaster... Now I have no sound, can't install/uninstall things, need help!

  My computer has been infected last night. I went into safe mode, ran malwarebytes and Microsoft security essentials and cleaned up my computer. But onceI restarted in normal mode, I noticed a ton of questions

  -Its completely gone. I cannot listen to music, can not test speakers, cant watch netflix streaming, etc.

  -Tried to run microsoft fixit, but I get an error message that the JIT debugger is not found.

  Ive been looking online and through forums for all help, but its looks like nothing works!

  Any help is appreciated!

  -Bouazza

  Ok. So, I did the clean boot with just the microsoft services to run. In doing so, I was finally able to run Microsoft FixIt. I ran some tests on this subject but it came up saying windows media player and my audio were very good. Yet, I still have no sound.

  From then on, I decided to uninstall and reinstall my audio drivers. After I did, I didn't restarted, still no sound.

  After having looked well and try a few troubleshooting steps more, it seems that most of he said it has something to do with windows media player. I followed these tips links on running a diagnostic tests (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3517/p/19351382/19768710.aspx#19768710), the only thing that didn't work was a 1 B 63:161 B microphone registration error. But the article said that if this disagnostic dell comes back fine then issues its is a pilot (that I reinstalled the and made sure they were up to date with windows update) or it's a matter of windows.

  I still can not play music, watch videos online, heard no sounds test to sounds, hear no sound when the computer starts first, my video/webcam doesn't work, etc..

  I could not go through the boot process to see what was causing Fixit to not work, but now Im processes more than audio. Do you think I did the clean boot with just the activate microsoft services, is one of those that is causing the problem?

  I am not computer stuff that well outside the bases... Im trying here but I can't find a solution! I couldn't do the diskcheck you suggested that bc it was a bit confusing to me.

  Suggestions more?

• can I see when my computer has been accessed from the outside of my house?

  Suspect someone may be using my free wi - fi connection.

  Hi B1lz,

  Change your router password AND the password to the router by default if you think he has been compromised (and you need to change all of your computers that use it as well because otherwise they will not be recognized once you change the settings of the router).  If your router is not configured properly (or if it is, but you feel nervous anyway), this is the solution.

  Rather than trying to find out if this is the case - keep him and KNOW that it is not.

  If you want to check, then for more details (and further explanations as well as many related articles on the sides with additional information which, when combined, will make you an expert), start here: http://www.ehow.com/how_6974931_see-someone-logging-computer-router.html.

• Vista SP1 does not update problems and System Restore returns a message "system restore was not entirely successful. File system and the setting of your computer has not changed"with the error code (0x80071AA7)

  0rignal title: Vista SP1 didn't update problem

  So, recently, I was on my computer of gf and noticed she had some updates, it could use his computer which included the SP1 update.  So I went through the process trying to update his computer and he has been a disaster and have had many problems and seems to have tried everything.  It has a Dell inspiron 1525 and has no CD and no key for its program of Vista.  I burned a Vista recovery disk and tried troubleshooting by using that, but have not had much luck.  When I use the Startup Repair tool there is no nothing.  So I tried to use the restore of the system with the Description of "install: Windows Vista Service Pack 1.  He had a restore point saved just before I tried to update to SP1.  Whenever I chose this method, it's but the whole process then in the end it says:

  "System restore was not entirely successful.  File system and the setting of your computer have not changed. "

  then he begins to list the details with the error code (0x80071AA7) and then gives me the option to close or 'Run System Restore"once again that is an endless loop, because I just end up with the same error each time.  If anyone has had this problem and bring myself through it.  I don't want to reinstall windows because it seems simply ridiculous and plus that she a lot of pictures on his computer and I want to get rid of those.

  If you need more information please let me know and evil provides everything I can

  Hello
   
  Follow the steps and check if the problem persists.
   
  Step 1:
   
  I suspect that your security program may be responsible for this. I would suggest you temporarily disable all security software and try the system restore.
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
   
  Note : Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Step 2:
   
  As for installing updates is concerned, I you should install them after you put your computer in aclean boot State. There could be a third-party software in conflict with updates. Clean boot helps eliminate these conflicts.
   
  Note: Restart your machine as usual by following step 7.

  Hello

  Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
  It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way? Keep in mind
  This associated heat does not always mean too much heat as it is often a part or a component
  who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.

  Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
  in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
  air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
  You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
  test).

  This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help

• Windows 7 is not genuine, once the computer has been infected by the virus of Ransomware

  Please can I have help from someone.

  Some time ago I was surfing the net when I came across a website, my naiveté made me click on it only to be greeted by a virus. The round about three months my computer was inaccessible. So I left him alone. To unlock a sum of £100 to be paid. I have it has not paid and after the months I had access to my computer again. But all was not how I expected I would soon find a virus, which Windows Security Essentials found and eliminated, thus to discover my version of Windows was not legitimate. So a ball of activation popped up and told me that within thirty days in that my windows activation key should be included. But as I've already said, I had a good no hacked legitimate version of windows before the incident.

  So now all I ask if this can be taken seriously until I spent the time to write this, hope that my problem could be solved.

  How do I know when my computer sercurity as compromised and what attempt has been made to the hac, a system?

  Hello.

  You know when you have been infected by malware:

  1. your security programs will not open either, will not scan or will not update.

  2. When you are in your Web browser, you are redirected either or you receive a lot of pop ups.

  3. your computer may slow down or freeze.

  4. you can not access the Internet.
