I have a process that has only recently appeared (I haven't installed anything) which is name bixfshw.exe, the description is Domptai and its product name is 'filet'? Does anyone know what this process is, or how to stop it starting up. I have also ended the process, and nothing happens to my computer, and it all still runs fine.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have been doing this for years in XP and Server 2003, but recently I have been installing Vista x64 Edition for some specific needs. This code is part of a workstation startup script that pulls the description from AD and makes it the local description on the computer. This does not work in Vista x64 or Server 2008 x64 and I have found no explanation on the Internet as of yet. I have not tested in x86 installs of the same OS. Yes, I am running it as administrator while testing, if I do not, I receive Access Denied.

For Each x In Obj
x.Description = "This is the computer description."

The object is being created just fine. I can use other methods on the object successfully like GetText_. I have found no documentation that says Put_ shouldn't work.
that is an accurate description of my computer. my computer crashes, hangs, restarts without warning, games stop working while playing them(this includes freecell and inkball, different sections if vista stop working and restart. 37 of my problem reports are windows related and none have a solution and the ones that it says have a solution don't make difference(i have 3 of these)and relate to graphics card. i would of least thought that a year after it was released there would be only small or minor problems by now. yes i have all updates of all my computer components including optional updates.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been running Vista for about a year. At various times I will open something and it seems that there are "boxes" with red x's and a description. I imagine it is a security thing. Is there someway to shut it off or am I better off leaving it alone. As an example, if I hit the start button and then "help and support" I will get these x's.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi have only just signed up, so not sure if this is the 100% correct place to post but here goes. I think someone has gained remote access of some kind to my computer, and retrieved a file. Originally based on what i heard through the very thin floor of my room. I.e. i think my housemates got at it and i would like to know for definite as it contains rather sensitive and personal information.
I am not an expert with IT but i will try to explain a little, and will try to answer any further questions to get to the bottom of it. Around 2 months back i noticed a small brown or red icon on my toolbar at the bottom of the screen (perhaps someone might be able to recognise a method from this scrappy description?), this read something along the lines of "connected to -PC",? being the name of a housemate. I terminated the link and confronted them but they deny this. Secondly i have noticed that windows remote access has been enabled, and after some reading up i have found that this is not enabled by default, and as i know very little about software, and know i havent touched it, then this cant be me?
Thirdly i have been looking through the event log, and within the WLAN-Autoconfig i found an Event ID 11004 which reads:Adapter Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter
DeviceGuid {B4FD2D99-F15B-4BAC-A591-180E23218228}.............

I had bought an HP 2133 when I was in Bahrain. When I first started up the computer, Vista Business started installing, probably from the Recovery partition. Anyway, I am in Turkey now and I upgraded mh harddisk and wanted to install Vista Business on the new harddisk. Underneath my computer there is an original Microsoft sticker for the product Key. During the Vista installation I typed this key but received an error message that the key cannot be validated. The key starts with J4CQ3- What might be the reason? What is the solution? I want to use my original Vista Product Key.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy daughter has a dell laptop with Windows Vista installed by Dell. She has had the computer for 9 months. Today while trying to startup her computer, she got a message that her VISTA product key is invalid. Of course the recommendations involve getting on line with the computer which will not open windows. The other resolutoin suggested is to type in the product key on the computer. I am reluctant to do that since it says that if VISTA does not start up then Windows will be lost and the computer may not work at all.
