How To Stop Windows 7 From Nagging Me Redundantly-Ref UAC
Jul 14, 2012
M$ has stripped-down Win 7 so much, it's nearly impossible use it effectively. Many features which used to allow users control over their own system have been removed.I want to know how to stop Windows 7 from displaying its irritating "User Account Control" pop-up redundantly, every time I click on a program listed in my "Start" list. The only way M$ offers users to stop the nag dialog is to lower the "User Account Control Settings" to a lower ("not recommended") setting, FOR ALL PROGRAMS!It does NOT require me to answer any question when I click on the icon in the Taskbar for the exact same program! I'm referring, for example, when I want to run either Windows Explorer 32-bit or Windows Explorer 64-bit. And, I have 1/2-dozen other programs in my list that I use many times daily. Many of them won't open without M$ asking me "if I want to open it!" Of course I do! I installed it/them so I could use it/them regularly -- any time I want to!!If possible, how can I configure this OS to stop nagging me redundantly when I want to run (my) installed programs which I use on a regular basis? My system:
* OS: Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
* M$ stuck me with its beta IE 9 browser (both 64-bit and 32-bit), although I didn't want it! Now, I can't get rid of it. Typical M$.

I'm running Windows7 RC1 64bit. Most internet pages want me to download Adobe Flash Player. I suppose no one has told Adobe that they don't have a 64bit player. So, whether I say yes, download it or no, don't download it, the nagging continues.
Any suggestions for stopping it?

Is there some way to stop Windows telling me that the performance is slow?
I get this message: "Windows has detected that your computer's performance is slow", with the option to change to basic theme, or keep the existing. But even when i select to keep it, it still keeps nagging me. What's even more frustrating, is that the computer runs perfectly fine.
This happens in two cases:
1. I view video in VLC on my secondary monitor (uses 3% CPU, 3GB RAM free...)
2. I run a virtual PC via VMWare (uses 2GB RAM and some CPU, but PC still runs perfectly).
There must be some way to disable this nagging? It's obviously not working like intended (since performance is not slow at all).

My laptop won't stop trying to do a backup (it's the first backup ever on this laptop) - for the last couple days the little flag in the system tray keeps coming up, after a minute or so of starting up my laptop, saying it's doing a backup (which is slowing it down incredibly). But when click on the backup message and try to open it, it opens up the box which only comes up with the title "backup and restore" and nothing else appears so I can't stop it that way. Even when I go into control panel to try and open it that way, it's the same.I've also gone into services and disabled it that way, but this hasn't worked either. I've also tried the "SFC /Scannow" method but it also doesn't work - the black command box flashes up for a second and disappears immediately every time I've tried it.

My main problem is I have a BD movie player that keeps reacting badly to windows updates. Yes I turned it completely off and did not have it connected to the net but somehow it found 1 rouge update that when I had no choice but turn it off it installed it. I have always hated updates but never has it caused me this much grief.

I have recently purchased an i7 Ivybridge, Corsair Vengeance 8GB and Asus Z68 to upgrade my home built PC. Today, after assembling the parts, the usual splash screens show up all the way up to the windows logo. After windows finishes loading, a STOP: 0x0000007B error prevents me from going further. I have attempted to restore to 2 days previously with no effect and startup repair cannot solve the issue. When using my old motherboard, windows starts normally. Diagnosis and repair details state the Root cause as 'Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem'.
EDIT: Switched ACHI to IDE in BIOS. This allows me to reach the login screen but I am unable to use mouse & keyboard.

Recently, I've been getting a lot of BSODs and I've been trying to find what may cause them. I used the Device Manager and disabled a couple of devices. I've probably disabled a necessary device, and now when I'm booting my PC, it's getting to the point when it shows the Windows 7 logo, and then restarts, and so it gets into an endless restart loop.I then pressed F8 to try get into Safe Mode, but Safe Mode is not working as well. So I then pressed F8 when starting Windows again and chose "Disable automatic restart on system failure" to see what error code is being thrown. It shows the following: Code: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (...) Unfortunately I don't think I can get dump file because Windows is not working at all, but I have a very good assumption that I disabled a critical device in the Device Manager. Here is the list of devices that I've disabled: Code: Acronis Backup Archive Explorer Floppy disk drive (don't have any floppy disk drive)Standard floppy disk controller (same thing as above)High Definition Audio Device PCI bus (*I think the problem is here and is related to the on-board graphics card. I think It's an Intel graphics or something like this.) My question is: is there any way to somehow enable this PCI bus device from anywhere?

what this following error code means? I'm guessing it's some kind of hardware failure but I can't figure out what. I bought a new western digital caviar black 1TB hard drive, installed it with Sata cables and installed Windows 7 ultimate on it and it worked fine for a couple of days. All of a sudden today I get this error. I should mention that the reason why I decided to replace the hard drive is because my other hard drive(s) were fine until one of their sata cable broke in half and even tho I replaced the sata cables on those drives they still won't boot and would cause BSOD's. So, I decided to buy a new drive and new cables and try it.
Technical information:***Stop: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFFA8005B3E028, 0X00000000B2000000, 0X000000000004008F)

My laptop has suddenly slowed down considerably. I've run eset online scanner and scanned with my antivirus Trend Micro Titanium and found nothing at all. I've tried running Ccleaner and using the registry cleaner. I've also tried defragmenting my hdd but nothing is working. Overall its is generally slow but alot of the time Windows explorer freezes and stops responding and needs restarting.I have an asus K55VD notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1, quad core i7 processor, 8gb ram, 2gb dedicated graphics and over 200gb of free space on my hdd. If it makes any difference I have windows 8 installed on a separate partition although problems didn't start when I installed it.

if you right click on my documents to the right (properties) through the start menu, and change up the folder, it'll start grouping the documents inside that by location. Even if it's only one location. While the default my documents folder doesn't do that.

use to stop windows 7 from auto installing sound drivers. I have Realteck onboard audio on my Asrock 890 Deluxe Am3 motherboard. And have ATI catalyst for my ATI video Cards (crossfired) . I want to use Realteck as my for default sound, so when I go to device manager and uninstall the ati hd audio drivers they get deleted, but when I reboot my pc windows 7 reinstalls the ati hd drivers. How can I stop windows 7 from reinstalling the ati hd drivers. The reason I don't want two well really three sets of audio drivers because the cards are crossfired windows 7 is installing two sets of ati hd sound drivers one for each video card and the Realteck drivers, is because windows 7 is crashing when gaming and I think the sound drivers are conflicting and causing the crashes

How can I stop Windows from asking whether I want to scan and fix an external drive,whenever I turn on that external drive. It gives me the choice to scan and fix or continue without scanning.The annoyance is that when I turn on the external drive, I may be doing something else and the notification will pop up or rather pop under all the other programs and windows I may have open and won't see the notification until I click on the taskbar and Windows Explorer is waiting for some response

I am using window 7 pro. with MS office 10 and other non Microsoft programs. On Monday while I was updating my iPhone OS using ITunes, ITunes gave me an error message stating that it lost connection with my iPhone. I rebooted the Laptop and too many problems started to pop up since then. For starters, my iPhone was wiped out, where the only way to restore it was by going to the Apple store. Now, ITunes gives me Error 50?! The Apple Store tech avers that ITunes has nothing to do with the problem.
Since then, the majority of my programs are not working those that run require my permission to execute including Windows components such as control panel, security, uninstall, program install, etc. Excel and MS Word are working, but Outlook, Outlook safe mode, OneNote, ITunes, Skype, Adobe, windows troubleshoot, McAfee, Chrome, etc. are not working. They all missing important files or give me an error message. In contrast, I created a new user account without Administrative right. I can run all programs without any problems using this account, except for having to reconfigure everything all over again and having to provide an administrator's permission virtually after every click. I ran chkdsk, desk defragment and McAfee scans from the new user's account and all ran flawlessly and reported that my system is clean with no virus or bad sectors. I have 180 GB of free space. Note: I broke the screen on my lap top, and I used the HD in an exterior HD shell to retrieve some files while I was waiting on my LCD replacement. I had no issues before hand. The ITunes problem started after I reinstalled the HD in the Laptop.
