View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having issues with a few programs, namely Google Chrome, IE 9, and Windows Media Player, that just plain refuse to run. Every time I try to open any of them, I get the "a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly" message, so I have to hit the "close" link. I have tried fixing this issue with iolo's System Mechanic, but it doesn't work. I always keep all my programs as well as my OS updated, so I don't think that's the issue, and I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Chrome and IE, but to no avail. All other programs work just fine.
Specs:
-Acer Aspire 5515, running 2.0GHz AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
-2GB RAM
-Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Programs I usually have running:
-Comodo Internet Security
-Zemana Antilogger Free
-ExploitShield
-Secunia PSI
Some drivers are not signed and Window 7 will refuse to load them. What to do? Turn on test signing which allows Windows 7 to load unsigned drivers. To enable this you have to open a command prompt as administrator and type the following command: Code: C:>bcdedit -SET TESTSIGN NO
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am part of a large organization that has a large amount of computers on our domain controller. I have Administrative rights to the computers only, and network access rights on our network. I keep a number of computers up to date, including various 3rd-party programs (i.e. java, flash, etc), and I currently manually remotely connect to each computer and install the updates to the programs from a network share, then run Windows update, select all the critical updates (as well as all the applicable optional updates), then disconnect and move on to the next one. Needless to say, time quickly adds up.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have windows 7. I'm getting odd behaviour from my machine. I can only type in search boxes intermittently, other times when I press a letter the shortcut droplist comes on---"F" is find and so on. Only light on my keyboard is Num Lock, so I don't think it's a keyboard issue.When I left click shortcut to open IE(or any program), I get the, "do you want this program to make changes..." message, or I get the shortcut properties box, and if I move a shortcut, it makes a copy---"Computer 2."
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt is a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge with a 500 gigabyte hard drive, 4 gigs of RAM, an Intel i5 processor, and an Intel Graphics Family video card that was bought from the company's online store. A few days ago I took the laptop out and started up as usual. Once logged in and at my desktop the computer refused to run any programs or even open the start menu for 15 minutes. After things begin to respond the computer runs fine but this worries me. It still continues to do this daily. Today a message appeared at the bottom right corner of the screen saying " Windows 7 Not Genuine Error 7601" I believe. The reason I cannot be more clear on that is because that went away. Since then, I, in a total panic, did several internet searches on the problems but was only directed to either one, but never both. I would like avoid contacting a technician so I came here.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having some weird problem - probably caused by a virus or something. Anyway, I have scanned my computer, with 2 different Anti-Trojan applications, both found many infected items and removed it. Now everything seems to be cleaned. Thing is, while trying to load google or bing - both sites wont load - it just hangs. I tried from 3 various browsers. When I put both sites IP addresses in the host file - it works! How can I get rid of this hassle?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAs it stands right now, my Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card will not allow me to plug in my headphones via the front panel of my desktop. (This makes sense, as the onboard audio solution was disabled upon installation of the card.)Thinking that this would only be a minor setback, I purchased a simple Y audio cable that enabled me to plug in both the speakers and the headphones at the same time.Unfortunately, this does *not* work as well as I intended. (It merely reduces the output of each, while simultaneous emitting sound. Nothing is muted.) Furthermore, it seems I can not get my card to actually *detect* the headphones.

I can't understand why I even need them, as I uninstalled net framework. Notice how the update at 8:17 AM., KB2656368, is the same as one of the 4 updates installed at 7:47 PM. Windows wants to install the same four kb files again.How do I stop this?

I have Windows 7 Home Premium installed on my PC. Every morning when I boot up my computer I get a message " Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turn off computer." and on shut off "Installing Update 1 of 12" This repeats every day so it's obvious the system is not taking the upgrade I did a search but can't find this specific problem.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI made a thread a few days ago about not being able to install a specific update. Now I've discovered I cannot install ANY updates. I've tried disableing my anti-virus, firewall, tried manually dling the update from M$, even tried installing the updates on a newly created admin account, and no luck. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem?

It loads to 15% then it says "failure configuring updates, reverting to old setup", or something similar. First I had 8 updates when this started happening but I managed to install the security updates by selecting them exclusively. I have have tried deleting my updates folder and download again but same thing happens. Is there a fix for this? It's annoying when my computer reboots because they can't be installed.These are the updates in question:
View 3 Replies View RelatedTried installing the updates individually and from the Microsoft Download Center. I also ran Microsoft FixIt, but that didn't help. I have been able to install other windows updates with no problems at all, but I can't download them. I believe that there is still a rootkit on this computer so I think that it may be the source of the problem. I have tried to remove the rootkit in the past, but I am not going to buy a whole new version of windows because of the rootkit.
