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.
Every 5 minutes, C:Windowssystem32 would pop up automatically. The folder would just pop up automatically while I'm doing a task such as browsing the web. I have use avast and malwarebytes to search for antimalware activities and I have found nothing. Does anyone else have a solution for this? The folder browser does not pop-up on start-up but rather a couple minutes after. The timing for when it pops up is random. It sometimes doesn't do it for over an hour and sometimes it only takes 5 minutes.
These type of advertisments I find really irritating in the extreme - posted another "general" comment in another topic
However how do I STOP these -- the popup blocker does a passable job but these little boxes that popup randomly just over the bit you are reading ARE REALLY IRRITATING.
The people who write this type of code must really have bird size brains if they think ANY PRODUCT will be sold via this type of commercial - in fact it would PUT ME OFF BUYING that product for all time.
A lot more sites are beginning to use this insidious method of advertising as a way to get round traditional "pop-up" blockers.
Well this has happened twice, a program asks for admin privileges and then everything I open requests it. for example, steam did it earlier and then my screencap program and others. I log off and log back on and its fixed, whats wrong? Is it just a glitch?
I was wondering if there is a generic way to take permissions away from a program that will pop up and take me out of full screen(like when playing a game). I would like to block all programs from being able to do this except perhaps my anti-virus. I don't care if a download finished, while I'm in a game.
The current offending program is Download Accelerator Plus. If it is a case-by-case basis, does anyone know how to disable it in DAP?
I have this issue resolved but I still wonder why it always resets to the wrong way.I always have to click on the set mode to "What you see is what you get".This wan't true until a few months ago.This isn't a big issue now that I know what to do (it drove my crazy for a while) but I'm curious as to whether there is a way to set the default to "What you see is what you get".
I using MS Word Office 7 - while typing, the caps key is locked now when striking letters. When hitting "4" key on top row, changes to $ sign and back just fine.
I am currently running Windows 7 with Gmail via Google Chrome & Windows Live Mail 2011. In both email systems when I select "attachment" the window will open but has no menu bar where I can select the appropriate drive or folder of the file I wish to attach. Thought it was a Gmail issue, but discovered that Live Mail does the same thing. Wondering if there is a way to get the menu bar back?
Every once in a while I keep getting a flashing pop up at the bottom of my screen saying a Java update is available wanting me to click it. In the past I have done that and got a virus from it. (Bleeping computers helped me get rid of it)I run a scan with avast and malwarebytes that I have installed but they never find a virus. I am just asking if I can trust it or is it a virus thats hidden so well that it cant be detected by avast or maywarebytes?
I waited for weeks in Micosoft Technet for a solution but all that was offered was to kill all non-microsoft processes using msconfig and then ShellExView and it didn't help. No other possible solution/ troubleshooting tips were offered. [code] 98-100% of the time for example, if I try to change my volume, adjust/change the network from the taskbar, the popup window disappears when I attempt to move the mouse away from the right side of the taskbar where these icons live.Another example of the behavior is that I cannot use the Calender dropdown in Outlook 2010. I can still input the date myself, just that the dropdown loses or never gains focus.If I uninstall nvidia and use Win 7 64bit vanilla vga the problem still exists unless I also uninstall the vanilla drivers and NOT reboot. For this short window of opportunity, I can use dropdowns and popups.I have bought new mouse and keyboard to attempt to eliminate them as culprits, but all have been USB types so would still be using the same drivers, I believe, and I have not installed special drivers for them.Have uninstalled video drivers and Clean Sweep(ed) numerous times.
all of a sudden pop ups / menus / flyouts (or whatever they're called) are now coming up on the left side of the mouse cursor, not the normal right side.
For example, on the Desktop of you right click on an icon to view properties, the menu is on the left (the top right of the menu is at the cursor point). If you go to a sub-menu, such as 'Send To,' it flies out even further to the left instead of on the right.
Is this maybe some sort of Left Hand/Right Hand setting or the like?
I am trying to join multiple pc's to the same workgroup and would like to know if its possible to set up to have one master pc control that can change all passwords in workgroup to mirror its changes without making it a domain?
They run Windows 7 at my school and every time I log on to a new machine I am bombarded with the Internet Explorer 8 initial setup screen questions about default search, and accelerators, and additional notifications about new versions of Java and Flash, etc. how to tell them to set up the machines so that IE comes already set up and Java and Flash and doesn't pop up messages about new versions that we can't install anyway because we are not administrators?
I used to be able to right-click buttons in the Task Bar and get a popup that listed the last documents/links/etc. that I had opened with that app along with other shortcuts for the app. A while back (beyond my earliest restore point), that changed.I still get the popups but no more listings of the last resources used and other things that are missing in those popups. Has anyone experienced this bizarre behavior? I have no clue what caused it or, more importantl
We recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium after having issues w/a yearly upgraded antiviral software that suddenly wouldn't work w/Vista. No problems, then one evening while in an open live video chat forum it crashed, never had a problem with this before. Have gotten the BSOD since then. Currently only works in safe mode. Ran repair, ran restore previous, nothing works. When he loaded Windows 7, he got updates but I don't think he checked for updates with the drivers. Also, he was in the slow process of pulling off alot of family pics as they are taking up too much space.
Can someone explain the Windows Build 7601 program to me.I've asked the guy that built this computer for me and he says it's just from an update I installed update 971033 to be more precise and that I could not get rid of.However he did not offer me the product key the program is requesting or any other fix for that matter.The only problems I'm noticing with it are that I cannot hold a desktop background and the constant popups stating that my Windows 7 may not be genuine or may be counterfeit.

I have a different setup in that I have two Windows 7 Pro machines in a workgroup. One machine RDP�s into the other. I need to block IE access on both PC�s still allowing RDP access. I know I can rename the executable and I think there may be a way to block port 80 in the windows firewall but is there anything else that I can do?
I'm looking to block a specific network both wired and wirelessly and wondering if there is a way to do this. I spend to much time on the internet when at home. I can now lock the computers so that during specific times I can't access the home network. HOWEVER I would like to configure one laptop computer so that it can't hook up to the home network at all. Not being able to connect with the network either hard wire or wirelessly. I want to be able to take that computer to other locations though and be able to hook up wirelessly to them. So in other words I couldn't connect to the home network but can connect to other networks.
