New computer.Keyboard not typing properly.DELL disabled background programs, side bar and upper horizontal icons on monday. 1 mth free Mcafee came with computer. Today I checked SECURITY CENTRE and it says: Warning,the security centre has not recorded an antivirus product.Cause: either its not installed or not recognized. solution: verify that its installed. Disabling programs DOESNT delete them does it? i'm sure i saw Mcafee in the files somewhere. How do i confirm for myself its still installed? and how do i verify to security centre that its installed. there were no options to click on.
Ok this is not the same problem as the security centre cant be started issue. I can start thee service by going into services setting it to automatic stat up and clicking start service.
My problem is it after i click ok and go out of the properties box the security center start up gets set to disabled again. No matter what i do i cant set it to automatic/automatic(delayed start) and every time i start the pc i have to go into services and enable it manually. its highly irritating.
Windows Security Alerts tells me that "AVG anti virus free reports that it is turned off." Whereas AVG reports "All security features are working correctly and are up to date" although I have inward and outward email checking turned off. Have found and downloaded a fix "reset_access_avg8_en.exe" from the AVG website but the notification icon persists.
I m running Windows Vista Home Basice Off of a Compaq presario CQ40 Notebook PC 32-bit OS. I was using my comp on wireless internet, turned it off and when i came back to it my firewall all of a sudden was busted. I have gone into Windows Security Centre and it comes up with the four options, Firewall, Automatic Updating, Malware Protection and Other Security Options. Now Firewall says Off. Automatic updating says Off. Malware protection says Check Settings, and Other is OK!. Now I click on the option under firewall to turn it on and it comes up saying Security Centre can't turn on windows firewall. Now underneath that it says turn it on manually, so i click that and i get another screen with a warning box saying "Windows Firewall is not using the recomended settings to protect your computer.
To the right of that there is an update settings now button, i click that and im sent to a Windows needs your permission to continue screen where i select continue. Now i get a screen saying Windows firewall was unable to make the requested updates. Also since this has happened my Optus wireless internet wont connect which means no internet access on that notebook, and now my iphone is not detected by itunes............
i have avg free antivirus on my computer and it updates and checks every time i turn my computer on but windows security centre is saying i don't have an anti virus. also is says windows defender is turned off but i can't work out how to turn it on.
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 won't let you register. Therfore unable to update virus definitions, and unable to schedule auto scan. This is the boxed retail version. Not the one downloaded from McAfee's website. When it tries to update I get messsage I get message that I need to register this software, I choose Ok. But a blank window pops up titled McAfee Security but window is blank where your suppose to enter your registration information. Just incase I'm unable to find replies in this newsgroup
Every time I turn on my computer it tells me that the Windows Security Centre is at risk. I have Nortons IS installed as my Anti Virus program, and I know this overrides the WSC, but how do I stop the Windows icon from showing my computer is at risk when I start up. I read that the Windows SC is only a warning, it does not save you from viruses, is that correct?
I am currently using Vista Home Premium. I had a problem with one of the current updates and had to use system restore. After the restore everything worked fine except that Mc Afee Security would no longer function, with the exception of the Firewall. Mc Afee indicated that the secuerity center was more than 30 days out of date. My system restore was set for less than 24 hours. Is this a normal situation and is there any way to prevent it in the future?
I am having difficulty registering FLVSplitter.ax I copied this file to windpws/system32. I clicked the.ax file, selected Properties, then clicked Change. Browsed to System32, selected regsvr32.exe, clicked Open, then OK. I then clicked on the ax file to register it. I got the message: "module c:windowssystem32FLVSplitter.ax was loaded, but call to DLLRegister Server Failed Error Code: 0x80070005"
Last night it was fine, turned it off and went to bed, got up thismorning and turned it on, windows can't find any networks. I click "diagnose why..." and it says that my laptop doesn't have a wireless NIC or the drivers are out of date! but nothing changed, and it's not the router it's working fine.
Hp dv 9000 17" btw there have been a few other issues for about a month, quick play doesn't work and WMP won't play audio tracks (dvds still work, oddly enough) when that started happening I got messages at start up, they are:
Hp quickplay was stopped working cvlcap module (or somthing close to that, I forgot the first part, I know it ends in cap but it might be cvcl or something) has stopped working and occasionally it would say the disk defraggmentor was stopped working even when I'm just browsing the internet and it's not even open.
those aren't that big a deal, but I really need my NIC working again, I'm running an Avast! virus scan right now but I don't think that it the problem.
on a side note, what do ye nerds think of Avast!? being free seems to good to be true, but I've seen store baught antivirus that is obvisously much worse (defender pro comes to mind.)
I have Vista Home Basic running an E Machine 32 bit. I recently took a full factory restart. I then deleted McAfee because I wanted to run Norton. I have since deleted Norton and am now using Avast. When I went to Windows Security Center - Malware protection and clicked on "show me the antivirus programs" it showed both McAfee and Avast were both running. I can not get rid of McAfee. Since I deleted it by using the uninstall or change panel McAfee is not listed but it is still running. How do I get rid of McAfee?
I have had a few dramas, have had a factory reset, warranty issues you name it. have loaded all back in again, have had some Malware issues, all has been solved. Finally I think my computer is working properly again, happy days.Wanted to whack on some random tunes from Media Centre and found that it no longer exists on computer. I have looked at Microsoft site and can't sem to find a download for Windows Vista Media Player.
When running media centre and listening to music there an option to run a slideshow. How can i control where it gets it's pictures from? I'm tired of looking at various buttons and banners from assorted software apps, visited websites etc and maps of europe from my tomtom backup. I tried changing the stetting in the Library option to no avail - even with no directories set to watch, it still pulls in picture files from random locations - is there any way of controlling where media centre gets it's pictures from. I have a single directory with all my photos - how can i get it just to use this directory?
When I try to access Media Centre's online section I get the message that i need an internet connection. I have anup to 8Mb broadband connection which gets used every day with no problem by IE7, Outlook and several other packages with no problem. I have tried switching off Virus checkers, firewall and spyware checkers but this makes no difference.
how do I turn on macaffee in vista home premium? It was working last nite until I put it into sleep mode. Today macaffe is disabled in the taskbar and am wondering how to turn it back on,
I just bought a new puter with Vista Home Prem 64bit. Mcafee suite was installed with 2 years of free service. I used the virtual technician to indicate if everything was working properly. To my surprise there is one error "Process not working". It indicated that C:programfiles (X86)mcafee|virusscan|Mcshield.exe was not working. Is this inidcation just a misdiagnosis from the Virtual Technician because it is set for 32bit? If this indication is correct, do I have real time virus scan protection? Customer support was of no help. I have reinstalled and the same error shows.
After a 'friend' installed McAfee on my laptop, it has caused Vista to crash after about 30 seconds of starting up, you are able to do nothing. I need to re-install Vista, but do not have a CD/DVD to do it. I have a valid licence key. need to know a way to either get McAfee uninstalled.
I am using AVG 8.0 free antivirus on my Vista laptop...When I went to the Vista Security center, it said that McAfee antivirus was on...I uninstalled it when I 1st got my laptop so I could use AVG free(it was version 7.5) then....how can McAfee antivirus be on if it's not installed on my laptop??? I check the add/remove programs, and it didn't show up...just wondering...doesn't seem like a big deal, but just making sure..
I have an 10/100 wired connection through a linksys router to an XBOX 360 and am running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. I've had ZERO succuss in playing MCE content - ie MP3s and viewing JPGs - on the XBox.
The Media Center menus on the Xbox are intolerably slow, taking 5-30 seconds to respond. Eventually if I have the patience to wait until the XBOX Media center accesses the files located on the Vista machine it takes upwards of 2 minutes just to load one jpg. When I run the tune network tool in WMC I get a message saying that:
"Your network may not have enough bandwidth for consistent performance on your extender device."
When I view the performance graph in the tool my bandwith barely registers on the graph.
Other things I have tried to no avail: - turned off all firewalls - unitstalled anti-virus software - port forwarded the following ports in the router, TCP2869, TCP10243, UDP1900, UDP10280 to UDP10284 - played with the flow control settings - tried selecting all possible "speed & duplex" settings
Support from Microsoft sucks:mad:. The XBox people have pawned me off on the Vista support people. I wouldn't let the Vista support people hand me back to the XBox people...although they tried pretty hard. The Vista support people are saying they need to recreate the problem in their lab and get back to me.
I have had this new HP vista media centre computer for 2 weeks, and can't get Media Centre to play 1/2 the 500 gb worth of movies that my old XP media Centre played without any trouble at all! Some are MPEG-4, others are div-x, some are Dvd format. I have seen others with similar posts in other forums and I have loaded up all the lates codecs (safe one) from Divx, and ffdshow etc... I have to play all my movies with Nero or Media Player, which both have no issues with. I feel like this is a dud, and can't believe that a full hard recovery is worth the trouble.
Originally my intention was to go the whole nine yards with WMC, ie, the dual digital TV tuners/PVR thing etc etc. However, I ended up getting a deal on a Sky+ box, so, long story short, I really just use it to play music and movies. I don't have an extensive picture library and so on, so I just get it to watch the Music and Movie directories. All the others have been removed from the watch-list and now I would like these other folders to die with dignity as far as the main interface is concerned. I don't want to have to go up (to Pictures) then across to Videos. I know this may seem as if I would be interested in hiring someone to do my breathing for me, and maybe I won't lose any sleep over it, but I would like to slim down the primary interface if it can be done.
Did anyone notice that when you have SP1 (finally) installed, and you have 4GBytes of RAM, Vista will actually report 4GB in the Wecome Centre (Computer Details) of Control panel?
I am running Window Vista Home Premium SP1 and have been unable to start WMC using the remote control, shortcuts or by running the ehshell.exe both normally and as administrator. When I try to start WMC using any of the above it looks like the programme trys to start (blue circle appears for a few seconds) then nothing happens.
The last time I tried to open MCE I recieved the following error message: - C:WINDOWSehomeehshell.exe "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." Every few days after restarting the PC an icon appears on the system tray informing me that WMC is downloading guide information from the net for the TV channel listing. When I right click on the icon and select open WMC I get the following error message: - "Unable to start Windows Media Centre"
I have tried setting up a new shortcut, uninstalled and reinstalled SP1 and have installed the latest driver for my video card NVIDIA GeForce 7650 GS driver 7.15.11.7490 and have still been unable to resolve the problem. I have searched the net and Microsoft support and have been unable to find a solution
Tuesday I finally had my system running like I wanted it to. I run Home Premium 64 bit SP1. So I thought I should make a full backup of of all my documents on the internal harddisk and the external harddisk as well. I did this with the built-in backup centre. The backup was made to DVD's. The first attempt failed. My wife was working on her account, while backup was running on my account. It just stopped for an unknown reason.
I started another full backup and got a blue screen when changing DVD's. The Problems and Solutions function did'nt come up with a solution. This happened three times in total. Today I finally finished this backup (it picks up where it left of). My system is running fine otherwise. My harddisk is fine. HDTune doesnt show any bad sectors. I suspect it's a driver problem of sorts, but i'd like to have a definitive answer...........
I've used Windows all the way from Windows 95 up to the latest incarnation, none of the previous versions have been so buggy, unreliable or slow as Vista. I have a brand new PC with 2 gigs of ram and Vista is just out of its depth. Start up takes for ever, it often hangs on shut down, Explorer is constantly re starting, media centre is slow and crashes, side bar is constantly crashing, blocked start up programmes keep restarting even though they've been blocked, the latest problem, after a windows update, my Vista ready printer is now incompatible, the printer support know its a problem and they're rushing to update their drivers. Each time Windows updates I lose my optical drive and have to alter the registry, a known problem with half a fix. System restore won't restore, just like the problem they had in ME.
The people I bought the PC from, a big well known company, said yes they know the issues and are as frustrated as it customers. All in all its a disgrace and I feel I have been taken as a mug by Bill Gates, now to add insult to injury Gates is talking about the next new OS with in the next year or two, as things stand now a PC with a Windows OS is just going to b a liability to any one buying one, the future to me looks PC free. For the record I'm not a Linux freak, I've been down that road, its as bad as the rocky Microsoft road.
When go into security center on Vista, it says I have 2 firewalls enabled. Windows Firewall and McAfee Personal Firewall. I cannot find MPF anywhere! I want to delete/disable it. Anyone got any ideas on how to?
Note: I'm not using McAfee. It came with my computer and I stopped using it after the 30-day trial.
I aquired Trojan.Dropper on my computer. It runs Vista with a 64 processor. My McAfee tries to delete it but every time I restart my computer its there again. I'm not terribly computer savy so I need help. How do I get this off my computer?
I'm not able to receive messages in Windows Mail since installing McAfee - I receive this message. Account: 'Judy', Server: 'shawmail', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Could not read message file', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90
