Help! cannot delete old Backup Files!
by Guest Sandwhale- 2 replies
- 128 views
i recently reformatted my computer. I have a backup file in my hardrive which saved my files and after reformatting, i transferred the files i needed to my account out of the backup folder. There are still about 40 GB of files left in the folder which i dont think i would need. I tried deleting it changing ownership, turning UAC off but still cant. Also, i wanted to back my files up in a CD/DVD ROM but it always fails and merely gives me a 0x0087045D error. I would appreciate the help very much. thank you!style_emoticons/ -- Sandwhale Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Suspicious activity on my computer and failure to start Windows Defender
by Guest StephenWrightUD- 0 replies
- 37 views
I cannot start Windows Defender because when launched a dialog box appears stating error: 0x800106ba was encountered. Further, a strange folder has appeared in my C drive which spontaneously disappeared a little while ago without any action by me. The date and time has changed on my desktop, and I have lost the 'Show Desktop' icon from the taskbar of my Vista OS all within the same time period. I have run Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, and performed multiple virus scans with AVG and Security Essentials, yet nothing has been detected. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which of These Font Blocks Looks Best to You? Be Honest Please
by Guest Noel Carboni- 0 replies
- 57 views
I'm going to ask you to split hairs in a somewhat unscientific poll... Please look at the four different renderings made by four different browsers below, and let us know which you like best, which (if any) look fuzzy, which (if any) look color-fringed to you. I would also like to know what kind of monitor you're viewing them on. Make sure you make your browser wide enough to see these full-sized.

i purchased the Win 7 pro with a student discount for 29.99 dollar in Oct, 2009. And download the files (DLMWin7Pro64US.exe, Win7-P-Retail-en-us-x64.exe, setup1.box, and setup2.box). There 4 files are totally ca. 3GB size. Somehow, i just intalled it into my laptop last week. However, today, the system ask to activate it. Is there any way to find back my product key?

I found that each time i input it, the Product ID changes, and i dont know my original one. Anybody can help me? Thanks very much. Continue reading...

I have a Question.......... I received an Email today from "WINDOWS LIVE TEAM" which stated "ACCOUNT UPGRADE (Final Notice)" It was sent from: Email address is removed for privacy and requested me to confirm my account by sending to them MY: Full Name Username PASSWORD Date of Birth Country and the names of any other Email Accounts that I have. The REPLY ADDRESS was as above; jtb92 @hotmail.com This sounds SUSPICIOUS to me. I thought Windows NEVER asks for PASSWORDS, and why would you need to know my Age or Country and any other Email addresses I may have?

Is there a way either through MSE or maybe an elevated CMD prompt to run a full MSE scan at...
by Guest Nocturnal Lunacy- 0 replies
- 48 views
I'd like to run a full scan at boot time like you can with other Anti-Virus programs. So far I haven't been able to find that option in the MSE GUI. Is there a hidden menu somewhere or can I do an elevated CMD prompt to make MSE do a full scan at boot? If there is absolutely no way of doing this then it should be made an option. Also, going into safe mode, MSE is disabled so I can't do it there. Every time I try, it won't load MSE cuz the drivers aren't loaded and I haven't ever looked for them to manually install them.

My problem: Internet Explorer 9 installed on my computer, but I cannot take it off, I have tried 'uninstall update' but it isn't on the list, I have tried an earlier restore point, doesn't work. I have tried the 'fix it tool' on microsoft, doesn't work. When I visit the update history it tells me that the update failed, however I have IE9. I have Windows Vista SP2. 2. What is the full name of your installed anti-virus application or security suite andwhen (approx. date) does your current subscription expire? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender) are installed? What third-party firewall (if any)? Using Norton 360 5.0 3. Has a Norton application or a M…
