AAM Updater plants itself in your Task Scheduler and your Startup to maintain this routine.Yet Adobe probably releases an update only every couple of months. If you try to delete those entries, the next time you start an Adobe Application, AAM Updater puts itself back into your Startup and Task scheduler.This stops it.[CODE]
How do I successfully disable autorun in Windows 7 home edition 64 bit? I have read different instructions on how to do this and was needing the right one to do this
I have a SONY vaio vpcea16fg , and a windows 7 professional installed on it. I want to disable windows from auto detecting my built in usb 2.0 camera. I have disabled UPNP and SSDP services, but it doesn't work. I mean when I restart my machine in detects usb camera and install it again!
I want to disable my webcam auto detection, because there is a hardware problem with my built-in webcam and causes a blue screen error. When I move my laptop's lid, windows detect the camera and try to install it automatically, but after two or three times of detection a blue screen is occurred.
Not sure if "focus" is the right term here, but anyway. I use "list" view almost exclusively so this may not be an issue with other views. But one of my beefs with Windows 7 is: if you're viewing a folder that has multiple rows of files or sub folders; then you click on of the the folders that's more to the right of the window and the entire contents of the window reorients itself so what you clicked on is now more towards the left area of the window. Know what I'm saying?
Here's a before and after of what I'm talking about.. Open Window...
Now I click on a file that's slightly out of view and it does this without me touching the slider at all.....
If a window is moved above the screen so that parts are out of view, it is automatically resized to fit in view. Is there a way to disable this?
In Ease of Access Center, I checked "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of screen," but that only stops it from maximizing.
I want to disable all auto play, auto monitor detection, auto audio detection, ect. i want to tell windows that i have X amount of monitors and to always display on them, that i have 7.2 surround and to ALWAYS send audio out via HDMI. if i unplug the hdmi or a monitor i dont want windows to do jack i just want it to sit there and play/display to a component that is not plugged in. all this auto detection crap does is waste my time and cause issues with my day to day computing.
Everytime I visit a site that uses Adobe Flash, it tells me I need to update to the latest version.. I download and re-install, and it works for awhile.. But eventually it asks me to update to the latest version again.. I keep updating to the same version, there is nothing new.. Why does it keep asking me to update, when I have the latest version?
Is there any way to disable the taskbar popup when you hover your mouse over the edge of the screen with auto-hide on? I still want to have it appear when I press the Windows key, but have that hotspot area somehow disabled. I've tried the app by Prisoner, but that disables the whole taskbar, leaving only the orb.I need this for a Tablet PC i'm customising - I find that when I want to press controls near the edged of the screen, I hit that bloody hotspot area and get the taskbar instead of what I've been aming for. Also, disabling the taskbar completely would not work, since I need the notification icons (battery meter etc.). The tablet has a dedicated Windows button... and nothing else in the way of physical controls.
I've looked absolutely everywhere I can think of and I can't find a way to disable auto-joining unknown networks. There has to be a way to do it, otherwise that would be a huge security flaw. When in range of my own router or any other access point I have saved, it's fine. However, When I take my laptop elsewhere, it automatically joins unprotected networks, which I don't want to happen
On a daily bases I get a startup screen wanting me to upgrade.Then follows a screen to read the conditions, which is compulsory.Finally I land on an ftp-like list with lots of files to download.Is this normal?Using Firefox 11 and Windows 7 Ultimate.Getting a bit tired of clicking the msg away every day...

Cant find anyhting wat to do.
I have been trying to Update Adobe Reader for weeks now when asked and kept on getting this error message " Error 1310.Error writing to file:C:\Config.Msi\1658852.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory " ... Someone told me too just un-install Adobe and re-install but when i tried to re-install a similar error message failed in the install.
I am running Windows 7 (32-bit) SP1. IE9 for my browser and my problem is everytime open a new session in the browser I am asked at some point to install Adobe Flash Player all over again. It will install successfully everytime, however, it is very annoying that I must re-install this software every-single time. Additionally, I see that in my 'Services' Adobe Flash Player Update Service is STOPPED and It will not START regardless. Manual, Automatic, Delayed.does not matter the Service will not START.
I download it from their website and instantly "The ordinal 459 could not be located in the dynamic link library urlmon.dll." Google isn't turning anything up, I'd uninstall my current version and try that, but I'm afraid that it still won't work and then I'll be stuck without any Flash Player at all?I've run a registry cleaner already but didn't fix it.
Windows 7 recently updated to Adobe Reader X 10.1.1 from 10.0 and now, every time I try to open a pdf file, the screen flashes,changes from 1368x720 down to 640x320, reduces screen size and open a dialog box stating "There is a problem with your system configuration". It gives options to open in protected mode, protected mode disabled, or always open in protected mode.Now, let me also state that I have also installed the 64bit iFilter suggested by Adobe themselves and have looked for registry changes or missing file components, of which I can find none. I realize Adobe is not truly 64-bit compatible, however, it used to work fine and it will not roll back the driver to 10.0 where it worked flawlessly.I know that McAfee and iolo both can cause system conflicts with this program in Win 7 64 bit, but have never seen anything quite like this. I removed System Mechanic and AVG both, cleared the temp files and registry locations, uninstalled Adobe and re-installed. I also tried removing Silverlight and performing the same procedure, all to no avail.System is a Dell Inspiron i3 processor, 4GB of memory, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Had zero issues until the update.
Still trying to find out why the Ports, Coms, etc don't show anywhere in Device Manager. I noticed an old Post where it said to look in add/Remove Hardware. Where do I find this Add/Remove Hardware option? There was also a Post to check the BIOS for this and to see if PORTS is set to Auto. How to have the Ports show up in Device Manager.
I have installed Windows 7 on my MSI Wind Netbook using a new Seagate 320gb sata drive and every time I power on, Windows Boot Manager loads and I have to select Windows 7 as the OS even though it's the only OS that has been installed. The first time I installed I let Windows 7 create the partitions but I thought that might have been the problem because of the 100mb system drive it created so I deleted everything, made 2 partitions and installed Windows 7 on the active partition but still it boots into Boot Manager. I've been into msconfig and Windows 7 is the only OS and there is no delay set but still it persists. I've also tried EasyBCD but it made no difference either. The ONLY time it doesn't boot to Boot Manager is if I have the external USB DVD drive connected with the Windows 7 disk inserted... then it says press any key to boot from CD/DVD which I ignore and Windows 7 loads normally.
I now have W 7 Home premium. I have windows update set to auto update. As I was checking email and just cruizin the net etc. My pc just shut down and restarted. I discovered that it was the auto update. I want to continue to use auto update, but I don't want my pc to shut down and restart even though it warns me.
My ASUS Notebook was running fine when I went to bed the other night and Windows 7 did an auto update. I logged on the next morning and all the USB, Network Adapter, and Sound drivers were dead. I checked, and it appears that a few of the components of the Windows update did not complete successfully (.Net framework, Silverlight, etc.), so I assume this has something to do with it. I assumed it would be no big deal to fix the drivers, but boy was I wrong. Here's what I've tried (and failed) to fix this.
I have a Logitech Webcam and I don't know why but it wants to update itself via Windows update. Is there a way to disable this, not only hide but disable from appearing in my Windows updates list?
