When I click the Safely Remove Hardware to disconnect my external USB HD, I do not get the bubble that I got under XP telling me that it was now safe to remove the device.

Have I set up something wrong?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Windows 7 x64 SP1 Pro on a HP Compaq notebook. Since I installed Windows and all those HP apps (some of them apparently required to access BIOS) I got this shortcut on desktop and I cannot remove it. Deleting it manually does not work and the shortcut does not appear in User/Desktop or Public/Desktop folders. Right clicking it does not show the usual menu but this so I cannot get the location of the file. Also, the Remove Icon option does nothing not even in Safe Mode. How to get rid of this? Some suggested to reinstall the app however this also does not work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I want to remove a flash drive, clicking the icon shows all the available devices. When I click to eject the one I want Windows never says that it is now safe to remove.If I have a window to the drive open, I correctly get a message that it is not safe to remove. But I can close all windows and programs, leave the drive unaccessed for a couple of hours and then try to eject. It still doesn't tell me it is safe to remove. I can tell that there is no activity because of the light on the flash drive. Somehow the message is not being displayed.

Need safe Keylogger for Windows 7??I bought a new computer with Win 7 OS. For personal use, I want a safe keylogger for win 7 computer. I know some keyloggers are not compatible with Win 7 OS now, so can anyone tell me where I can find such safe software that will run on windows 7? There is also AVG antivirus on it too. I tried blazing tools personal keylogger but it wont work at all.
I don't want to keep spending money on these programs if they are not going to work.
I've tried setting the Startup selection on the General tab to Normal Startup, and on the Boot tab, I've cleared Safe Boot from the Boot options, have then applied by changes, said ok, rebooted, and we're right back on the Safe Mode screen.

And, eah, though bsod blames on video card driver, the card itself seem to run well - no image artefacts, no overheat, etc.

So far I have tried:
Scan with CCleaner
Scan with Malware Bytes
Scan with Spybot (found lots incl.iminent search which had been a problem - but apparently not THE problem?)
Removed Utorrent, iminent search,1clickdownloader using Program Unistall

View 13 Replies View RelatedI am running Win 7 64 bit and would like to start in Safe Mode to run a security scan. The problem My keyboard is bluetooth so there is no way I can restart and push F8 and get an option for Safe Mode prior to Windows starting up in normal mode.

Worked like a charm. Yes, MalwareBytes and Security Essentials.
I have a new Medion PC with Windows 7.I need to access safe mode. On boot i get the option to press f8 for boot options which gives me exactly that. A list of boot devices and nothing else.Also, is the option to press f11 for recovery which i didn't try as i'm not sure what would happen.Also, how do i enter the Bios menus if i need it in the future.My Vista PC was so easy where this was concerned.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an Asus X72J series running windows 7 64-bit. To make it simple, windows doesn't manage to boot normally, but it works if I start it in safe mode. I would like to know if there is any tutorial which proposes step by step processes in order to locate the source of the problem.I have alreay run startup repair 5 times with restarts between each, and it ended up it could not resolve my problem.
Besides:
- I have not installed any software before having this trouble
- I have not installed any new peripheral or driver
- I checked the memory and HDD and both are fine
- My guess is that there is a driver or hardware compatibility problem somewhere, since the trouble appeared after a long time passed in hibernation (extended stand-by mode) in which I unplug the computer, and this is ot the first time my WIndows has some troubles after this.
this might seem like a really dumb question but i've tried pressing f8 repeatedly on asus screen to try and start windows in safe mode but it never works.
