Availability Of 'Libraries' In Windows 7 Home Premium

Jul 6, 2010

I just brought home my new Tosh PC with Win7HomePremium. I've done nothing to it whatsoever but Libraries does not work. If I right click on LIBRARIES and click new, the box is greyed out with (empty) in it. If I click, say a photo folder, click include in library, select pictures library, absolutely nothing happens. Double clicking ANY library does absolutely nothing. I can slect a photo folder, click Include in Libray, create new library; behold, I get a new library with the name od the folder selected BUT, you guessed it, clicking it does absolutely nothing.Now I've read the thread and seen a particular post by BRINK; I've done no 7 - remove and restore library, as suggested, to no avail. Now, I'm not dying to get my hands on Libraries but what bugs me most is why I do not have it with a new delivery and why it seems so complex to get it to work or not get it to work? I really believed Windows 7 was MS's really complete OS.

McAfee Can't Seem To Clean It Off

Feb 2, 2012

Just had to reinstall win7 starter on my netbook after Comodo made mess there. I ran the Acer eRecovery and replaced the entire operating system, but Acer added all the "free" crap including Macafee.Mostly I got rid of all the fluff, but MCAgent.exe still persists and I can't get rid of it or the folders it is in.I installed "Take Ownership," but still can't remove the remnants. The Macafee icon shows up in the Notifications Customize list too.

McAfee Uninstall Causes Crash?

Nov 11, 2012

I have a dell xps8300. It came with Mcafee av. I wanted to install Norton 360. When I uninstalled Mcafee the system would blue screen on startup. Restore would work to make it operational again. When Mcafee was removed it would work in safe mode but only without networking. Using the Mcafee removal toll did not help.Reinstalling or updating Mcafee and trying to uninstall has not helped.

McAfee Firewall Keeps Switching Off?

Nov 24, 2012

My apologies for reposting this but the main forum has been swamped by rugby spam and I think my post (which, uniquely for me on this forum, has not had a response) has disappeared beneath the radar.I have Windows 7 with pre-installed McAfee anti-virus. A few days ago it started warning that my computer was at risk and that I needed to switch on the firewall; I haven't timed it very accurately, but it seems to switch to off again in anything between 30 minutes and 1 3/4 hours.Have tried to find solution on internet but generally couldn't understand the suggestions as they were too technical for me. I have, however, performed a full scan with McAfee, Malwarebytes and Eset. What little that was found and removed has not sorted it. I also failed to find Windows Firewall.A supplementary question if nobody can answer the main one, as a temporary fix, would it make sense to install free ZoneAlarm firewall or will this cause conflicts?

What To Do After Windows 7 90 Days Trial

May 3, 2011

I have 2 questions, I have a windows 7 enterprise in 90 days trial that's about to expire in 3 weeks, I'm not really sure what's best to do next as this is my first time to have a trial period with an OS. now my questions are:

1. should I install a new windows 7 version (home, professional, or whatever) and if I do that do will I still have my files, settings etc. on my computer?

2. is there an easy way to just continue with my windows 7 enterprise like I'll just enter a product key or something or do I really need to purchase a new one?

McAfee And Windows 7 64bit Crash?

Mar 7, 2010

I have had an ongoing subscription with McAfee for several years and recently bought a new laptop loaded with Windows 7 64-bit. This came with a free 60 day trial version of McAfee antivirus software installed on it which seemed to work fine. When the free trial expired I decided to use my current subscription, (which allowed protection for up to 3 different machines and had used on my old laptop) on my new laptop. When I called McAfee to do this I asked the rep if it was compatible with Windows 7 and I was told that it was. After receiving download instuctions via email I noticed that Windows 7 was not on the list of compatible Operating Systems, just Win 2000,Win XP and Win Vista. I called McAfee back to verify Windows 7 compatibility and again, they assured me that is was fine. So I went ahead with the download. I clicked the RUN button for DMSetup.exe and then RUN for the IE Security warning as per the instuctions from McAfee and the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH appeared for about 2 seconds and my machine shut down! After attemting to restart it went into Windows Error Recovery mode then Launch Start-up Repair and then could not repair problem and shut down again. This sequence repeated every time I tried to restart. I called McAfee back and again I was assued that it was compatible with Windows 7 and they said I should do an online diagnostic on their site. I told them this was impossible as my machine would not start up even in safe mode so I could not even go online at all! They finally said to contact the maker of my machine as that is where they thought the problem was, which I did. The maker told me that the machine would have to be reformatted after several attempts to get it going. 1 Day and $200.00 later with a reformatted machine I called McAfee again and told them of the crash and that I thought their software was the cause. They advised me this was impossible as their Software is compatible with Windows 7 and that there was no problem in trying to install again. Hesitantly I tried the download again. At the same point in the download the exact same thing happens...shut down. This time thankfully, the system recovered after several attempts. I called McAfee AGAIN and told them they had nearly crashed my machine again! They said my operating system must be corrupt. I told them it was reinstalled only 1 hour earlier so how could it be corrupted? I insisted on talking to a technical rep which they agreed to (and didn't charge me the $9.95 per incedent fee thank you very much). I finally got an explaination after 6 hours, 5 phone calls. McAfee does not have a product that is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit yet. It should be ready in a month or so. They then offered to extend my trial version for an extra 30 days! I said "you just told me there is nothing compatible with Windows 7 64-bit" so what good is it to extend my trial version. Besides I was told to uninstall the trial version before installing the new one so it was gone from my machine.

Group Policy Denying Changes To McAfee?

Nov 22, 2012

I've got a comp that used to be connected to a domain where it was locked down pretty tightly. I've got full admin rights on it, but it's still denying me the right to change settings in McAfee (and other programs like Windows Firewall, etc).I cleared out all group policies on the computer, but apparently not.Right now McAfee is the last thing I have to try to get a program working (I think it's stopping it from running), but I can't find any way to shut it down, prevent it from working, or enable specific programs, every single setting is grayed out.So, short of going into safe mode and deleting every McAfee file I can find, do you have any idea how I can completely wipe out all old security settings on this machine, group policies, etc?

Slow System / McAfee Shuts Off?

Aug 10, 2012

I'm having a brand new problem with my machine as of late. I'm freezing all of the time and and when I'm not freezing I am running way too slow. The other interesting issue is that my McAfee software keeps popping up telling me that 'live scanning has been turned off'(automatically) and asks if I want to turn it back on (which I always do). Spybot pulls up the same crap every time

McAfee RTS Keeps Turning Off, No Internet Connection

Nov 2, 2012

I have an hp Pavilion deskdtop Model m9077c, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor, upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 X64 Home Premium (Ver. 6.1.7601). My Internet connection is via at&t Uverse and a 2Wire gateway.

-Recently I downloaded what turned out to be a bogus software (which I have since deleted) and it resulted in a yellow triangle showing up on my wifi icon in the tray, telling me there was no Internet connection. The connection to the router and my home group is fine with strong signal. I also have multiple other desktops, laptops, iDevices and even an EV charger that are connected to the internet throught the same gateway without any problems. Simultaneously, I started to get warning messages from my McAfee that my Real-Time Scanning was turned off. Turning it on manually proved to be ineffective as it would turn off again within seconds everytime.

- Windows Network and Sharing Center shows that my connection to the router is OK, but there is no Internet connection. So I ran Windows Network Diagnostics and the response was: "Issues found, security and firewall settings might be blocking the connection."

- I contacted at&t and they managed to ping and reset my router remotely. In the end, all they could tell me was that the problem was in my computer's setup and that I should get help from Windows or McAfee.

- A suggestion from a McAfee support forum was to uninstall McAfee, restart in Safe mode (which would allow Internet connection), download and reinstall McAfee, and do a full scan to remove any potential virus. Unfortunately, I did not have Internet connection even in Safe mode! So now the problem still persists and I do not have McAfee on my computer either.

Nov 14, 2009

I started the Windows 7 upgrade and ran into a snag. When it was doing the compatibility check, I got the following message and could not procede any further.

The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.

For these items, make the following changes:

Uninstall these programs. Open Control Panel and search for "uninstall a program".

McAfee Personal Firewall Plus

Upgrading Windows will affect the following devices and/or programs:

These programs might not work properly after the upgrade. We recommend uninstalling these programs before upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel, and search for "uninstall a program". (Note: Programs marked as * can be safely reinstalled after the upgrade.)

I don't even have McAfee on this computer anymore. I originally ran the McAfee removal tool. I also checked the remove programs and I could not find any reference to McAfee anywhere. I also searched the entire computer and found nothing. What gives?
