I just installed Windows 7 on a brand new DIY build. It works great except EVERYTIME I start up the computer I get a small window in the middle of the screen that has this at the top: Msg, and a sentence in the window that reads "Your version is the latest version." I then press "OK" and it disappears.How do I get this to quit appearing on start up?"
There is a windows message coming up on the middle of the screen every 5 minutes or so, warning that the "Dell Support Centre" has stopped working and that it will look for a solution.So what can I do to disable this annoyance or even all the "Not working" warnings since they are useless to me anyway
I ran across away to disable SChannel from logging an error message in event viewerI there a way to get PrintService to do the same? Everytime I print I get an error in event viewerThe document Microsoft Word - 2012-2, owned by XXX, failed to print on printer HP LaserJet 1020. Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.the printer prints fine and I am tried of getting these and if I can can just disable this from logging then I want to do it. Below is how to do it for SChannel, does anyone know how to do it for PrintService? I searched the registry for PrintService and nothing showed up.[CODE]
Is there a registry setting or option to turn off the message "other users are logged on" you get when you try to turn off or restart/ Windows 7, vista, xp etc? Whats a "quite command"?I guess I'm looking for no warning even if other users are logged on and multi RDP.Also where are the settings to turn on or off the various windows warning messages and notices? (I'm NOT referring to the "action center" messages).I'm doing a lot of virtual testing and multi RDP etc.Also how do you go through 2 subnets, where one is a virtual VMWare subnet Real PC -> Physical router (ADSL Modem Internet gateway) 1 -> Physical sub router 2 -> VMware subnet router -> VMWare workstation.
I have disabled the search indexing service, & would like to know is it possible to disable the message bar that pops up every time I use advanced search."Your searches might be slow because the index is not running. Click to turn on the index.
So I recently assembled my new pc. I watched and read lots of tutorials, followed guides word to word and the system booted on the first time. Everything was GREAT until I got my Intel SSD a week later... I installed a fresh copy of win7 64-bit on the SSD, formatted the hard drive I was using before and assigned it to a special folder to keep my movies/games/music.
And then the freezes started. It's unlike any kind of freezing up I've ever seen. I can NEVER recover from them. If I'm doing something CPU-demanding, installing a game/copying lots of files/etc, that specific application just freezes up and whatever program I try to use afterward freezes up too! This is my first time using win7 and it's not turning out to be an enjoyable experience... I remember on XP if some program froze, I would just alt-tab to another one and continue my work until the lag is gone, and that on a low-budget system too. But when I get these lags, EVERYTHING stops working. For the first few times, I thought it was just your everyday windows fail, but this keeps on happening and starting to be annoying because I can't save anything and the only option I have to get around these freezes is to push the reset button.
I haven't tested my system yet for stability (installed the SSD yesterday) but planning on running memtest86+ over the night and super-pi maybe and see if it shows anything (although I have a feeling it's not gonna show anything). So far I've only installed basic programs (nod32, MS office, itunes, spybot, daemon tools, msn, hardware drivers...) and the system is up-to-date.
I strongly believe that these lags are somehow related to the SSD installation because I haven't had this kind of lag when I had my OS on the hard drive and these freezes often occur when I install things in the folder I assigned the HD to. But they also happen on random occasions, like when I try to open a program from the taskbar...
Here are my components:
i5 CPU XFX 5850 GPU Intel X-25M Postville 80gb SSD 2x2gb g.skill gbrh ddr3-1333 (changed the timings to 7-7-7-21 in bios as instructed) RAM WD caviar black 640gb HD MSI P55-GD80 MOBO Samsung sh-s223b DVD writer Antec cp-850 PSU Antec p183 CASE Win7 ultimate 64-bit OS
As you can see this rig SHOULD be able to run most demanding applications, although I have only worked with XP in the past so I don't know how much the OS affects this. I already played CoD: MW2 on this and it was flawless so I have a hard time believing that my system is just too "weak" for my purposes... and so I turn to you guys. I think this is all the info I can provide, let me know if you need more.
I've just installed Windows 7 SP1. When I open up and use any USB I get a bubble warning:"This USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi-Speed USB port. For a list of available ports click here."There is a box to tick that is supposed to stop this annoying pop-up but it does not seem to work.
At exactly the stroke of every hour my computer clock plays a sound. And it is getting really annoying. can anybody tell me how to stop it from playing that sound every hour. It has been going on for a week at first I ignored it and now its driving me up the walls
Everytime I open IE 8 I get this sound that is so annoying and I have had a hard time explaining the sound so I recorded it.I am not sure if it is IE 8 or the sites I go to but I open by default to Google. If I go to Apple's website the sound repeats over and over again but on most it only happens when I open my browser.
For some reason, I am getting an annoying ALERT sound every few seconds without any popups or anything to explain why.What is it?I tried to look up a Fault Log to see what program might be triggering the sound but I can't find a Fault Log in Windows 7.I am using the full retail release of Windows 7 Ultimate. Purchased with cold hard cash
I have 3 computers on a network and 1 printer and all work great , access the internet etc.The win 7 computer has a Windows Security pop up box asking for a Network username and password.I did not set a password and do not care to have one . I just want to stop the box from coming up.So far I have changed all the security selections that I can find pertaining to the network and nothing changes.
On my new PC with Windows 7 I logged in as administrator, created a folder "Portable Programs", installed my portable programs and data into it, set up Synctoy 2.1 to synchronise it with whatever portable device I like to use (sometimes I need a portable harddisk, sometimes a USB stick is more practical).
When I connected my portable device to an XP Home computer (in desperate need of data) the "Portable Programs" folder was there but it looked empty. XP was not able to run chkdsk.
Back home I saw that there was a lock symbol on this folder. I looked into the security settings, saw System and Administrator with limited rights and no other user or guest rights. All files inside the folder looked still disappeared. After changing access rights they were back and fully accessible... but will they still be on any other computer. I'd like to be sure before any next unpleasant surprise.
BTW I get the impression that MS is using Windows 7 in a secret battle against portability. So far none of my thinstalled programs run on Windows 7, Sandboxie is a real struggle.
I just redid my computer that has win 7. I just finished adding music in media player, but some of my album art has these little blue icons that say mp3 or wma. How do I remove these from my album art?
I am running Windows 7, I actually searched through ALL the windows 7 sounds on my LAPTOP to identify the sound, and NADA! So what other type of file extension could play a sound? Perhaps I can search for it, then eradicate it. It would have to have a file extension of some sort, right?
This is a annoying loud continuous beeping sound. This happens after the boot diagnostics, at the point where windows should boot up. There is a cursor in the upper right corner, and that is all it does.This is a HP Pavilion Elite m9040n PC. It came with Windows Vista, and I am upgrading to Windows 7. I stupidly didn't run upgrade advisor, and am now regretting it.When I go to HP to find drivers, no Windows 7 drivers show up for this PC. Stupidly, again, I assumed this meant that they were packaged in with Windows 7.I don't think this is a hardware issue. It happens repeatedly at boot up, but when I put the installation CD in, the PC boots off the CD just fine. This probably doesn't eliminate any hard drive issues, but the PC wasn't showing any signs before, and the installation goes through without a hitch. Is this caused by not having compatible drivers? Are there computers that can't be upgraded? I do meet the minimum requirements. 2.4 Ghz, 3 GB Ram. What may I be missing?
10-27 I reformatted my hard drive. Well, even before then, though, when I'm composing an email the cursor stops and it seems to freeze. I need to wait 8-10 seconds or so for the cursor to reappear. Whatever I have typed prior to it freezing (or whatever) gets typed out once it reappears, but something is not right here.Any advice?
I had audio lagg in battlefield 3 so some guy told me to update my realtek HD audio driver and it will be fine So i did and after installation my speakers started making this weird anoying sound i can't stop it and in my realtek HD audio menager started saying that i've plugged in audio device and after that it says that i have unplugged my audio device but the point is i didn't plugged in anything and goes again and again.
Every time I boot my PC with the speakers on, some annoying 8-bit sounding music plays whenever the login screen opens up, before I entered my password.I've tried running a malwarebytes scan but it didn't find anything. I don't remember installing anything that would cause it, and I haven't rebooted it in a while so I have no clue when it was added to my system.
Lately I have been having an annoying problem with my wireless mouse. For some reason the pointer will lag, and be very sluggish and jumpy. I've had this mouse on this computer for about a year and I've had no problem. Out of nowhere this problem is happening. I've tried re installing drivers with no luck. I tried uninstalling intellipoint and re-installing it, but when I tried I got the BSOD, and then it completely disabled my mouse and keyboard so I had to use wired peripherals to go in to safe mode and do a system restore. Now everything is working again, except my mouse is still jumpy.
I am running Outlook 2010 32bit with Windows 7 Pro 64bit. After installing google outlook sync (and subsequently uninstalling) an annoying popup window continues to appear when I start outlook. It asks me to Choose Profile. I have only one profile named "outlook". When you click "options" you can check a box that says "check as default profile" This does not make the annoying popup go away. It still pops up the next time you start outlook. After searching the web for a fix I found one promising work around. Access control panel then select "mail" here you go in to outlook profiles and check make outlook the default profile. The problem is this doesn't work with Windows 7 64bit and Outlook 32bit. In the control panel "mail" is grayed out and when you click on it nothing happens. Does anyone know how you can access Outlook profiles with this set-up? Oh and there is a very long thread in Google forums with many fixes, all of which I have tried, none of which have worked. it is obviously a problem caused by google outlook sync but google has remained silent.
IE9 AND 8 has been causing problems on my PC with regards to Adobe Flash player.So I now use Chrome and have no problems with flash player, but when I try to view records in family tree maker software it try's to open widows with IE not Chrome, although Chrome is set as default.It then asks to install flash player again. So I wondered if it is possible to disable IE.
I have Windows Virtual PC running Windows XP in windowed (not full-screen) mode.
One of the custom applications that I run in the Virtual PC makes heavy use of F1 key, however every time I press it, in addition to that program's functionality "Windows Virtual PC" help comes up as well!
Is there any way to disable the help or make it so that F1 pressed inside virtual PC does not call it ?
