Internet Explorer 9 Keeps Crashing
by Guest Gamesua- 0 replies
- 186 views
Windows 7 64-bits SP1 IE9 Asus U35JC Laptop Crashes with Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace and VLC Media Player (I think version 1.1.5) The problem is that IE9 does not work when either a game from Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace is started (so it is fine when only the Marketplace is open, but when I start Age of Empires Online it crashes for example). Recently, it has been doing the same when VLC Media Player is on. What happens is that upon opening IE, it just immediately tells me that IE had an unexpected error and it tries to restore (resulting in the same behavior). It repeats every time these programs are used and for now doesn't happen with any o…

Security Essentials Hangs On File amdsata.sys
by Guest tah0801- 0 replies
- 127 views
Hi, I am not sure if I am in the right forum, but since the issue I am experiencing begins with MSE I thought I'd post the question here. For about a week now, whenever I do a system scan (manually) with MSE, my laptop freezes always on file amdsata.sys in location c:\windows\systems32\drivers. The only thing I could do was to hard reboot (holding down the laptop start button for a few seconds). I was using Avast until a week ago when I uninstalled it in favor of MSE. I am running win7, 64 bit. Any help is appreciated. Continue reading...

Resetting homegroup
by Guest Jamie Lang -MSFT- 0 replies
- 43 views
I started a homegroup on one machine and couldn't access it from one of my laptops so I decided to start over but then I realized that the machine that created the homegroup was the one I don't have anymore. Now it seems that I cannot create a new homegroup from my laptop so I can start over. It keeps asking me to join the old machine's one and of course I didn't write the password down so I cannot rejoin that either. Is there a way I can kill the homegroup from a machine that didn't create it?Jamie ------------------------------------------------------ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Continue reading...

Pop-up hi-jacking?
by Guest msingmestill- 0 replies
- 48 views
Every time I transition from one site to another, I get a pop-up that takes me away from the page I was on. It interrupts me, but is usually an advertisement related to where I was or my destination. It is becoming REALLY annoying to have to stop and shut it off. MS Essentials hasn't caught it, and AVAST doesn't think its a virus. What is it and how can I stop it? Here's address it tried to take me to: http://s04.cltrda.com/sc?p=YTE2NDAzMjg2NzGe6ScA8czNkDkgh2CIgnLdtkRNg03wwtDzYY1cilrJeaOaTk4%2BLe%2FltvG0T8LCdnH6OdSdgSr8jLdDbYLl7dJH4tX31eRWODnLN87O5LcRK80glyp7H7s1b%2Fkk4MxpaqQ2SLZ5yZ7YLgZcEPU8puFJOF8OF4fI1PIPIEk2Qhs2qGGoar3bOB4oWeOMaZb1CVOxx5dARIaA5hWIOGouOKe4Uj4IX1uwlL…
