Whenever I try to open any browser except IE (Mozilla/Chrome/Opera) or even any Windows System Tools like msconfig, cmd, system information or even System Restore, an alert box is popped up saying :
'The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program'
I have tried all the antivirus and malware removal tools available and the problem remains. I don't want to reinstall my windows!
Neither FF, Opera or Chrome open on my Sony Vaio 64bit system. I know I have Internet access as Avast updates every day. When the relevant icons are pressed the Blue loading ring appears for a few seconds then disappears. When I try to access Task manager by ctr/alt/del the screen appears asking which service I require but when I select Task manager the Blue ring appears and again disappears and nothing happens. I regularly run anti virus scans and everything else seems to work okay. I've heard a rumour that the Bonjour service could be the problem. I I did uninstall it but maybe there is something left behind.
Working with a Toshiba Satellite L650 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.All of my browsers have suddenly stopped working (IE, Firefox and Chrome).I click on the icon, the "loading" mouse pointer shows up and then nothing happens.I've tried restarting my computer, checking for updates and doing a virus scan... nothing is working.I am now writing from another computer because I'm not able to access any webpage from the one that's having problems.My Avast antivirus says my computer is clean and I have no way of downloading any other software since browsers are not opening.
I'm using windows 7 32bit version and I've been having a lot of pc crashes lately and its getting a blue screen and an error related to irql_not_less_or_equal. i really dont know what it is but i manage to get a minidump file. i dont know how to read this error report but from what i read it tracks down the cause of the problem. i'm hoping to find the answer and fix it. the minidump files are attached, 3 reports all in all
Can anyone tell how or if its possible to change the system font to a smaller size than is available at: Control panel / Appearance and Personalization / display..I got a big new monitor where Windows 7 windows now display with a larger font than I need for visibility.I've set the radio button for small and even under Custom DPI setting.It will not let me set anything under 100%.It now shows: 9 point Segoe UI at 96 pixels per inch.I'd probably like 8 point or even 7 point.So, is there anyway to make the fonts smaller beyond those settings
I have a problem with my uncle`s computer.. Recently, he was watching Netflix, and lost his internet connection, he said that his computer`s performance was slower than usual. I came over and checked his computer`s status, ran MalewareBytes, I found two items.. However, don`t think that this is the cause of the problem. It`s seems as if he cannot access parts of his computer, such as: Microsoft Management Counsel, Microsoft System Restore, etc. I cannot access the C: drive, or D: drive. They`re currently blank and do not allow access when clicked on. I would be more than happy to restore, but I can not use this option since there isn`t access to it. I cannot install Anti-Virus software, or uninstall programs, since there is no access to C.
I updated my computer last night with this update [KB2744842]. This morning I tried to open windows 7, but it gets stuck in the opening animation. I went into safe mode and try to do system restore, but all the restore points disappeared.... Finally, I tried "Advanced startup options" and chose Last Known Good Configuration (advanced). With this I was finally be able to boot into Windows 7 64-bit, but now my internet would not work either Ethernet or wifi.
I have tried: netsh winsock rest catalog netsh int ip reset reset.log Nothing works...
I have just purchased a new 3XS system from SCAN computers (Vengence). The system has a 120GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. The SSD is used for the OS and programs and the HDD is supposed to be data. The SSD seems to be working fine and Windows 7 agrees. The same can be said for the HDD, however when opening the HDD folder in Explorer and clicking properties, the system reports that there is only 300MB or so on the drive.I have enabled, intialised and assigned a letter to the drive myself, after it was not detected by the OS. I did so in device manager/disk drives by right clicking the drive. When in Properties/Volumes and populating the data, the HDD is recognised as 1TB. It just seems to be the (E folder in Explorer that the device is shown as 300MB. I have tried to drag and drop a 15GB program folder into the Device folder, but it informs me that there is not enough space on the disk to do so.
I would like to know if there are any tools that can be used to slipstream windows 7. The windows 7 consumes around 8 to 10gb in full installation and i am unable to create a test environment because it takes around 45 minutes for a fresh installation.
My Tungsten e2 has no desktop software working in Win7. I'm at a loss.Also, before I upgraded from XP Home, my address database failed repeatedly to sync. I finally diagnosed it as erroneous record ends in the database. I am not sure how to get Win7 compatible software tools to fix this.
I can't get the Safari developer tools to work. I have enabled the "Develop" menu option, but none of the tools display.I added the "Web Inspector" button to my toolbar, but the "Web Inspector" does not display.If I right-click on a page element and choose "Inspect Element" nothing happens.I have uninstalled, and reinstalled Safari and rebooted yet none of the developer tools will display.I checked and Javascript is enabled and popups are allowed.
I know there is a tool available to test my computer to see if it's capable of running Windows 7. My question is this: Is there a tool available that I can run on the server that will test all machines on my network? With the free Windows Upgrade Advisor, I must visit each computer. Just looking for a way to do this without visiting each computer.
I've reinstalled my Windows 7 because of a hard drive curruption/blue screen of death. When I reinstalled Windows I realized that I didn't have my Gateway Tools installed. I needed the Gateway updater to update my Gateway drivers and I also realized the Gateway logo isn't shown anymore on the Windows 7 properties. My Microsoft Speed Score is lower than before for some odd reason (4.9 - 3.6 with the latest Intel driver) and I my computer's fan is louder and is heating up faster than before. Is there something that I can do to download the tools or to fix my computerBelow are the specs of my computer.Manufacture: Gateway SX2800-01rProcessor: Intel Core QuadVideo: Intel GMA X4500 IntegratedMemory: 4GB DDR3Hard Disk: 640GBOperating System: Windows 7 Home Premium
I am a new user of Windows 7 and so far I am fairly impressed. However, I am now having problems trying to do something that just seems natural for Windows to be doing.
I have some digital images that I want to post on another forum. That forum has a size limitation. My images are too large.
Does Windows 7 provide me the tools to resize those images and save them back into either their source folder or to another location.
I recently bought a new Kingston 32MB USB flash drive, but it became write protected somehow early on and I now cannot access it or send or receive data, or format it.
we have recently bought a new desktop, using wireless, and when the computer is left idle for a short while it goes offlines, the pop up to go back on line comes up, click on it but it is still off line, have to keep restarting the computer! Some forums have said click on tools, then select "work offline" and untick it - I can't find this option in tools.
I tried to re-letter one of my DVD drives by opening admin tools and then going to computer storage and then computer management only to find both were missing. When I go to Control Panel>Administrative tools all I get is something that says "Server Extensions Administrator".
Today some maintenance personnel were working on my bathroom in my apartment. I stepped out to take care of some errands while they worked. I put my computer into sleep mode (NOT hibernation - Actually sleep mode). When I got home, I realized that all of the clocks were flashing "12:00" and my computer was powered off.When I talked to the maintenance crew, they said that they had encountered a problem in the bathroom and caused a short. This, in turn, tripped the breaker that my computer room was on, which they then reset. This means that my computer, at minimum, experienced a hard power loss while running. It may or may not have experienced a surge (!), though it is on a surge protector. And the surge protector did not have its safety lights lit to indicate a surge.
Unfortunately, since using the computer I'm noticing a lot of oddities. I played some TF2 to unwind, and for the first time ever it crashed. My Video Card got stuck in "uplocked/3D" mode. Web browsing was slower than I'm used to, and overall it seemed like the computer picked up a lot of 'chugging' where it hadn't before.Is there some method to diagnose the general health and well being of my computer in windows? Are there tools beyond CHKDSK that I can run to locate problems that may have occurred as a result of a power surge? I'm concerned that the power loss damaged my components significantly, and I'm not sure how to diagnose the problem or determine if it's all in my head.
Here are my specs, if that's important:
Windows 7 Pro x64 i7 core 920 CPU eVGA x58 mobo eVGA GTX 275 Video Card (197.13 drivers) Corsair 850 W PSU 6 GB RAM
Before upgrading to Windows 7, Hardware Diagnostic Tools was removed. Now I am trying to reinstall - Operating on 64bit - having trouble - only 32 comes up.
I'm probably using the worst browser, Internet Explorer. I used to use Firefox, but I was concerned with privacy issues once they teamed up with Google so I went back to Explorer. Two weeks ago I updated to version 9 of Internet Explorer and I'm constantly getting connection issues which I've never had before.What are the better browsers when it comes to both privacy and security?
i bought my laptop about a month ago, its an acer aspire 4739. my specs should be available for you guys to see (atleast, that's what i was told when i signed up).about a couple of weeks ago, i started noticing frequent browser crashes. my default browser is firefox, and it had worked perfectly on windows 7 on my previous laptop. on this one however, it started crashing quite frequently, most often when i had multiple tabs open. sometimes, even sites like google would take 2 minutes to load, and then crash abruptly.
i tried using chrome and ie, and they ended up crashing as well. however, i am currently using ie with add-ons disabled, and it has been working perfectly fine. also of note is that it tells me when i go to Internet using the disabled ie that "you need to upgrade your adobe flash player to watch this video. download it from adobe. (version 11.1.102.55)...but other than that, it works like how a browser should: crash free, no matter how many tabs are open.i tried numerous help suggestions, including uninstalling ff and reinstalling with an upgraded version, doing a clean boot, but both were to no avail. if it helps, the window that pops up says "firefox is not responding" and my choices are "close this program" or "check online" the common thing between all of the firefox crashes have been stackhash errors as faults. for example:
problem signature: problem event name: appcrash application name: firefox.exe application version: 8.0.1.4341 application timestamp: 4ec9a124
I am getting message that IE has stopped working. Also same message for Firefox and Chrome. I ran mcafee full scan and Malwarebytes full scan and had no viruses or spyware. I am unable to open any of the three, and can't connect to the internet.
