Is there any problem if I remove the ' protection driver ' from my computer. Will that cause any harm to the computer? It's actually blocking me from opening a game which I had just installed. Should I get it removed or should I update the driver?
Again got a problem. The other day when I installed "Blazing Angels" into my laptop with Win 7 an error massage comes as " Star Force Protection driver is not compatible without a patch ". I never had this problem before when I was using the same game in Win XP. From where can I get the patch and how do I fix this problem.
I just downloaded asterix at the olympics on a torrent site and can't get it to run without downloading tages protection driver. Is it okay to download tages driver or will I get in trouble for downloading a game and not paying for it?
I am constantly getting a message that starforce driver is blocked and when I try to run my commission streamer software I receive this message ClientUIWPFOutlookNavApp1 how can I solve this.
When uninstalling a driver you now get a delete option as it uninstalls , what a god send this is I have lost count of the amount of times in vista I have uninstalled a graphics driver only to have it put it back in when it reboots ! Not anymore !
I Have an ALL N ONE HP Printer, Win 7 64 Bit. Due to a Scanner Failure error, I have tried to remove and install the S/W several times . I have deleated everything associated with my HP all in one printer, in Registery, all Temp files, & Add / Rm programs. All thats remaining is a Digital Imaging, Bin file HPSLPSVC64.DLL and action states it cannot be deleted because it is open in HP Network Devices Support. Also after all this when i go into my Network the Printer is still there with no delete option, but under Divicies and Printers it's gone. Can anyone offer any assistance on a CLEAN DELETE of these printer files.
I was wondering is it safe to delete the driver files installed in the program folders such as USB, GPU, and sound drivers? I know you can delete the downloaded folder package which you need to begin installing them, but can you delete the folders it creates afterwards?
I need to replace a W2K computer on a domain with a Windows 7 computer(laptop), but I want to keep the same computer name.I need the ip, username, profile to stay the same. Can I delete the computer from the domain and name the new computer that name I deleted and still keep the users profile on the new machine, as if it was the old one?
I've unistalled Amd Driver from Device Manager, Unistalled Catalyst software and ran Driver Sweeper. There is only 3 registeries that the Driver Sweeper CAN'T delete and these are under SYSTEM folder. I've tried to change user privilegies but this far I've not succeeded.
I had information on an SD Card that was used to transfer information from a PC to a Mac. Now that I try to reuse it on my PC, it says that it is write protected.
I have a WLW essentials 4 gb USB which needs to be formatted - only I get a message telling me it's write-protected. How do I remove this? Bill McKenzie has chosen the best answer to his/her question.Click here to view the answer that was selected.
How does write protection work in Windows 7? Does it alter any of the protected files, or does it simply tell some part of the operating system to leave the files alone?
in order to restore my system . In fact when i open the system properties i realise that System Protection tab was missing. Launching the tab by its executable, SystemProtectionProperties.exe, did not launch the tab, either.
I tried to search in the registry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTSystemRestoreDisableSR
I didn't find the SystemRestore Folder. I only found the Windows File Protection folder and Terminal Services folder
I am unable to move files onto external devices. Windows gives me a message to the effect "the drive is write-protected. Remove write protection or try another device" I've seen a lot of advice directed at fixing USBs but I think my computer is the problem because more than one device is affected.(both external hard drive and USB stick).
I just recently had my hard drive fail. I've had it replaced under warranty but it seems this may have been this trigger. The replacement hard drive is of a lower speed as they had run out of stock so I'll be replacing it yet again in a few days when the stock arrives.
I'm running Windows7 Ultimate 64-bit. I went in to the control panel/System Protection to turn on Protection on the drive that contain my documents so I could use the "Restore Previous versions". When I attempted to do so I got an error stating "Could not apply settings for the following reason: THe Filename, directory name, or valume label syntax is incorrect"
I recently had a power outage while Windows 7 (x64) was loading. System booted up fine. I went to do a system restore, but could not. When I go to select a restore point is says, "System Protection is turned off". I never turned it off and it will not let me turn it on. The C: clearly shows protection is turned on, but when I select system restore it says it is turned off.
I think I read most of the posts here on this issue, but no go. What I have tried:Manually create restore point- Works fine. Repeated many times. . Turned System Protection Off and then back On- No difference Ran WMI.bet- No change Deleted all restore points- No change Ran VSS List Shadows- Got hits even though I had deleted all restore points Verified VSS is on- I have seen posts to say set to manual and set to auto. I have done both. No difference. SFC /SCANNOW- Found no integrity violations Tried to do a Repair Install- Cannot. I am running SP1. Comes back saying it cannot be done.
I have a 2GB EMTEC U3 Smart Drive USB Device (PEN DRIVE). It is write protected, I want to remove write protection. Please tell me how to do it. I have tried to look for it on the internet but nothing seems to be working I tried changing registry but that too didn't work. Can't make any changes to the drive.Can't format it cant copy or paste.
I get a router as an "added layer of protection". Currently I have a dell XPS i7 running norton 2012 that is directly connected via ethernet cable to a motorola SB5120 (using comcast high speed).My question is would adding a router actually add any protection to my PC? Comcast will provide me with a netgear WNR1000v2 wireless router, my friend looked that particular model up and said it has most of the features needed and should do the trick.Also, when I went down to comcast and looked at the router the person there showed me a feature on it that allowed the user to turn off/disable the wireless. If the wireless feature is turned off/disabled on the wireless router then no wireless signals are being transmitted correct?
i have a wifi connection without any protection. now these days i cannot work on it. it tells me that,there is not any access on internet. earlier i could work on it. but the line is always without any protection.
My school laptop seems to be bringing baddies with my school flash drive. I've installed MSE on my school laptop and I run Kaspersky at home. Kaspersky seems to be removing the threats but every time I plug my USB into my school laptop and plug it back into my PC, it brings back unwanted guests.
MSE has detected 5 threats and removed them although I'm not so sure because. well, I'm still getting threats! (School computer)
Anyways, to the point. What's a good security application that I can install onto my flash drive so that this doesn't happen again?

I have been using a 4GB Toshiba USB flash drive on my computer. All of a sudden the drive has started appearing write protected and I cannot add or delete any files on the drive. This is very surprising as I havent found any answer as to how can I remove the write protect thing and use my drive normally. The other thing is that the drive has no write protection switch to control it.
