A few days ago an annoying window appears both in firefox and Internet explorer as soon as they are opened. As it jazzes up and down in a most annoying way, it is telling me that I am today's winner of an Iphone. Clicking on the x button or the "no" button doesn't close the window, instead it tries to take you to a site called "prizegivaway.org" which fortunately my security program blocks. How can I get rid of this? Where does the initializing software reside?

I need to automatically add a key to the rooteneum subkey.I need to install a driver for an external device, it is not automatically detected by the system, because it is not inside of my pc.I am automating the installproccess of the device using cmdinf eg files.The driver will not install because it cannot find the hardware id, usually located at HKLMSYS TEMCurrentControlSetEnumRootImmageXXXX were XXXX are nubers.I tried devcon but it seems it lost it's function to add hardwarekeys when not pressent.
I just got my M14x back from the dell repair center and I just booted it up and did the first time setup and all (OS was formatted) and I noticed that AlienFX and all Alienware applications are missing infact.
I just bought an Alienware with Blu-Ray player but when I tried watching Green Lantern Blu-Ray disc, I was getting a Windows Media Player error. Was assuming that sicen I have the Blu Ray reader option installed, Wndows would also have the appropriate drivers to watch a BluRay movie. What can I install/use to watch my BluRay movies in my Alien-ware laptop?
I am attempting to uninstall (and then reinstall) Office 2010 Prof Plus. I am not able to remove it from Add/Remove programs, have read through some help info and attempted to use the Windows Fixit, Revo & Ripoutoffice2007, none of which have removed it (Revo didn't take it out and then pulled up a million 'left over' files, none of which I deleted).
Does anyone know how to remove the "safely remove hardware" icon in the taskbar? I do not mean hide it. I have my icons always show in the notification area because I don't like the arrow icon either.
I have a laptop HP PAVILION tx2550er. After installing AMD AHCI driver in the system tray shows the Safely Remove Hardware icon (my hard drive). How to remove (not hide!) the icon?
Alright. So I finally got my new computer and slapped Windows 7 Pro x64 on it. Since my case has a slot to plug in an external drive, I used AHCI-mode to support hot-swapping. (And yes, I actually will use it)
Unfortunately, this has caused the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon to appear continuously in the system tray - giving me the option to eject my system drive. Being the minimalist I am, this useless icon annoys me to no end. Is there any way to tell windows not to add the HDD to the safely remove hardware menu (and thus make the menu disappear when there's no other devices)? I've been looking around and can't find any solutions.
I am NOT looking to disable the safely remove hardware entirely - I still want it to show up for other devices, just not the system drive. Also, I don't want to just hide it with the expand/collapse menu - call me picky.
How can i remove JUST the program from the list, without actually uninstalling it?Ive tried going toHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall but i cannot find the program i want to do this to.
i use internet explorer now cause someone told me its the best one, but i get a lot of annoying ads in general, whenever i browse Internet, facebook. how do i remove ads, what browser shall i use, what programs shall i download for the browser, what settings.
I am wanting to remove programs that have already been uninstalled from my add/remove programs list. I have tried uninstalling them in safe mode. I have tried to restore to an earlier time(which just compounded the problem). It used to give me the option of removing programs with a message like "error occured during uninstall would you like to remove program anyway?" but now I just get install.log not found over and over again. My program list is super huge and 80%(approx) is not even there. It is driving me insane.
I need to remove xp from my C: i installed XP in C: (primary partition) and Win7 in D:I need to remove the XP. I cant format that drive...what should i do to remove that?In Run->msconfig->Boot tab it shows 1ly win7...i cant delete xp....
Since I intalled Win 7 on my computer, I have nouse for the partion that came with the computeroriginally. I have already deleted all the files inthe partition, so there is nothing I have to worryabout.What I want to know is what is the correct wayto remove the partition safely so I can recoverthat space.
When Microsoft first allowed a peek at Windows 8, I created a 50gb partition on my C: drive so I could take a look at it. Now, after reading about some horror stories about Microsoft's removal of support for several functions I find quite useful in Windows 7 especially its downgrading of support for DVDs, I would like to remove the partition I allocated to Windows 8 and reclaim the space on my C: drive for Windows 7. Can this be done easily without reformatting? I think I'll hang around with Windows 7 until I know more about Microsoft's intentions.
My computer is telling me that there are two users on my system, but I'm the only one using the computer. It also shows that the second user ID is the same as mine. How do I remove one of these to eliminate the conflict?
Just installed windows 7. On setup I gave the computer a name. e.g. My-PC "my-PC" was part of a homegroup which I thought I had to set up.I already had a network called homenet that I thought this might allow me to join. Instead, homegroup became a new network. I removed the home group and all was OK.Under "network" in windows explorer, all XP computers, NAS box, and attched printers showed up, along with the new win7 pc, "My-pc" so all seems to be OK.I did not like "My-PC" as the name of the win 7 computer so I renamed it. e.g. "My-New-PC".I rebooted and when the network list came up, both "My-PC" and "My-New-PC" BOTH showed up in the list, but "My-PC" in not accessible.Since it no longer exists withthat name, how can I remove the name from the network? So to summarizing this I have a renamed computer where the old name AND the new name for the same computer exisits on the network, but the old name is unaccessible and I want to remove it fromthe network(list).
IE has a system pop-up that tells the user that disabling toolbars will speed up IE. It appears at the bottom of the window. I want to know how to disable this from IE9.lsewhere in these forums are the instructions for using the Group Policy Editor to do this; but� gpedit.msc is not available in Windows 7 HomePremium edition. The post I saw says that HomePremium users have to edit the registry manually.I'm happy to do a registry edit but which entries do I have to edit and what values do I have to use, please?Other forums suggest setting the time delay to some seconds but this merely affects the time it takes for the pop-up to appear.
One thingthats just killing me with Windows 7 is the rights issues. I supposedly have full admin rights and this is my home PC and the only other account is guest. I have run that reg file that gives you the take control option on the right click menu. But there is just no end to prompts telling me i can't do this or that or shouldn't etc etc.
I downloaded a program that I don't want. I don't think it downloaded properly, and it's empty on the add/remove column. but, I can't remove it from the list with add/remove. Also, i cannot open the program. It's just on the list.
My fn button is broken so i always used 'sound volume hotkeys' program to change the volume by using the win button + up/down arrow key to change the volume on my laptop with xp. But now when i click the win + arrow button it just minimises/maximises whatever window im looking at.
In a perfect world id like to remove the windows hotkeys so i can get that program to work, so just wondering if its possible.
