Xp had a button to STOP searches. In Vista how do you do that, I can't find any such button. Clicking on the X is no option as it kills the app. What to do? Thanks

Help, I changed the name of (C) drive and the network computer names did not reflect it so I went back in and when the computer said if you do this your owner of the HD. I pressed the button and now I can't even receive windows updates. The following error message appears on bootup also (shown below). I have no idea how to reverse this. I may have deleted the files names to remove them...

Why do I need to reinstall my printer every time I turn my computer on?

Is it possible to add some additional pics to the pics from the Aero themes and use them all as a Desktop Slide Show in Win 7? So far I've found it to be an "either-or" proposition.

I downloaded but haven't installed Process Explorer & watched a video where a Microsoft employee explained how to use it. HUH??? Can you recommend antimalware, antispyware, antirootkit software for dummies? I didn't understand the video & he really didn't explain to my satisfaction how to remove antimalware. I have Adaware & Spybot & Security Essentials installed on my PC. I've downloaded...

Running Windows Vista SP1 on a laptop - two accounts, Administrator and Guest. I am using a mobile broadband connection (via USB modem). However, my son who has been known to visit "inappropriate" sites and has "accidentally" downloaded malware onto my computer is now being required to access the internet via a Guest account only (thereby, I hope, avoiding installing crapware onto my...

Has anyone tried this program and if so, what do you think of it. I currently have the free Avast 5.0 and of course Windows Defender. I was wondering if I should stay with what I got or get Windows Live Essentials Security. I understand when you install it that it will turn off Windows Defender and I would have to uninstall Avast. I thought maybe some of you that are using it would be able...

The second app has uiAccess=true in the manifest...

I am not sure who is who anymore. I am Jennifer in reality, but some continue to believe I was a Marked Man. Kevin Panzke, for example, still believes I am who he thinks. Which I am not. There are two people named "Mark". One who posted a year ago is gone, and is totally unrelated to Jennie. That's because the name of Mark is so convenient. There are a bunch of others who posted under last...

I have heard of the "administrator password" for a super-administrator. But I have never "set" the "administrator password" or "super admin password". I do, however, have a user account with admin privileges that I set a password to. Is that the same thing? Does my creating a user account with admin privileges and password make the password for the super-admin the same, or will the vista...
