Hey everyone, I have tried to Download SEVERAL anti-virus programs with Windows Vista and NOTHING is compatible. If anyone knows of one please let me know. Thanks. -- Thanks and have a great day,

Windows Defender doesn't recognise Norton360 antivirus on my new system. Symantec suggested turning Defender off. That doesn't sound like good advice to this novice. Can anyone advise me please. -- Many thanks, in anticipation... Lynx

Surely it should be "Centre"?

For some reason Windows defender will not up date itself with new definitions, I have Norton Anti Virus and all was ok until a few days ago. Consiquently I keep getting Security error messages, has anyone got a solution, or had the same problem... -- ET

I cannot login to my server at work. When using XP i did not have this issue. After entering the address to reach my employer's secure server I am first met with a window that states I "do not have the proper privileges to install this application". I click "ok" and at the bottom of the page that has opened I click "continue" which allows me to go to the SecurePage though it states that I...

We have an .exe that fires off to read an .ini file to grab some version information, which is in turn used to determine if our automated update process should be fired off. The ini file we are trying to find is located in Users\UserA\AppData\Roaming\MyCompany\MyApp\ UserA is a Standard User with UAC enabled. When I attempt to fire the .exe, I am prompted for Credentials of an...

Hi I am having problems with the security center. 1. I have had Windows Defender installed on my PC from the beginning, I never deactivated it and it has run smoothly. It has downloaded new definitions and seached the PC as it should. Problem: The security center tells me that Windows Defender is NOT active (even though it is). I have checked the Help and went to the Defender Setup screen...

When I bought the computer the first thing I did was uninstall MacKfee. I then installed Bit Defender, but that had problems. It would routinely get messages saying "Bit Defendr Stopped Working", with no explanation. So, I uninstall that and to to PC Security Sheild. It worked for 3 days and then also stopped working. Same "Stopped Working" message. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it, froze my...

Apparently my Access VB Code does not have permission to access the "C:\Windows\System32" folder. This code ran perfectly under Windows XP SP2 before upgrading to Windows Vista. When trying to call a function from a dll file using VB for Access 2007 I receive the following error: Run time error '53': File not found: emdaz32.dll Normally the following code accesses the dll file: Declare...

Hello; I have a Gateway desktop running OEM Windows Vista. New out of the box, I could log-in to my ISP email, Hotmail, etc. The computer no longer accepts any passwords and won't log into any websites such as email and home banking. Any ideas what settings have been changed so I can gain access to password required websites? Thank you,

I am trying not to get so mad at this OS that I rip it off of my PC, but these types of deals are driving me nuts. I am in a database class and had a Access database file emailed to me (it was zipped). When I try to extract it on my laptop with Vista, I get the "Windows found that this file is potential harmful" error and can go no further. There is nothing wrong with this file. This is...

Whenever I run something that has the little shield icon on it or a command like MSConfig, the UAC beep sounds and then my screen goes completely black. I cannot see anything. My computer has not locked - if I press Enter, it returns me to wherever I was previously. This has not always happened - just started happening recently. I have not installed any devices, drivers, or apps recently...

I got rid of that useless MacKfee that came with the computer and installed The Sheild Deluxe which works great with Vista. I was advised to disable Windows Defender, as it would conflict with the new virus software. Is this necessary? Thanks

I was changing the security for a permitted user and somehow Vista removed the full control from my user ID for the selected folder. I'm the administrator and own the folder. I tried getting to the folder and reset the permission problem several different ways including setting up a new administrative user. Nothing was successful. The full control box is grayed out, although checked, and...

I must be stupid at following directions but...is there a way i can turn parental control on without making another account?

Good afternoon. I am running Vista Ultimate and am having problems opening some of my folders and files. I am a full administrator of my home computer, yet there are certain files and folders in documents and settings that i am denied access. I have turned off UAC and tried changing the properties of the folders to give me access, yet it will not let me on some folders. On others , I am...

However, after using Remote Desktop I am forced to provide a password of the console after closing my Remote Desktop session. The Vista console is a the login screen waiting for the password of same ID I...
