I installed Microsoft Live Family Safety program but it never worked correctly, often blocking us from the internet all together no matter what my setting are. I have to disable the entire program before I can open the internet at all. I have tried several times to unistall the program from the control panel add/remove programs and get message that says I cannot uninstall. I am logged on as the admin and it is Windows XP. I was wondering if I could try booting up in safe mode and uninstalling

I recently installed Windows Live One Care on my computer. After installing it, I attempted to open it but had no success. An error message pops up and says "Windows Live One Care has encountered a problem and needs to close." It gives me the option to Send Error Report or to Not Send Error Report. This happens constantly everyime i try to open it. I can not reinstall this program because it is not listed in my Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs. Also, I tried using their (Microsoft's) uninstaller and i get this message.
How get rid of Microsoft Live Messenger? We have Windows XP & it seems to have been part of automatic Microsoft Uodate last night. I want to uninstall Microsoft Live Messenger.
Windows live suite seems to be missing in my pc. Every time I attempt to install windows live messenger, I get an error message reading: "Catastrophic failiure. Windows live suite wasn't found (or something very similar to that)". I've checked around microsoft web page for some type of Live Suite installer, but no luck.
I'm presently running a weekly scan with Defenders from Windows, Windows OneCare Safety Scanner and then I run Avira AntiVir Personal. I've also enabled Windows Firewall but wonder if its sufficient. Am I duplicating my efforts between the three and is Win Firewall enough
Everytime I boot up my computer I get a message that my computer had shut down for a safety reason, power failure, inproper shut down etc, so I am given theses options:
1.Start Normally 2.Start at last working configuration (setting that my cpu last worked properly) 3.Safe mode 3.safe mode with networking 4.safe mode & something else (sorry I forget exactly)
Currently, I have to disable the other computer so I can get online with this one, so I may not be exactly wording the messages given.........
I really hope someone can help me with this one. I don't know what's going on. I never had any problems installing MSN Live before and now, it's a real pain. I just got my PC back from the tech guy. He formated my computer and reinstalled Windows XP including the Updates, I'm trying to install Windows Live Messenger (MSN) and it's not working. It's giving me errors like, to check that I have enough hard disk space (I have 176 GB free space), If my computer has a firewall , and that I make sure that my computer meets the system requirements I do meet the requirements
I am servicing computers everyday for both business and home users and the vast amount of computers are infected with this whole family of viruses by names like Personal Security, Window Anti-virus, Antivirus7, Security Guard etc.I see these ransom-ware infections getting past everything from the free Anti-virus programs to the most expensive anti-virus programs, especially with home computers that are use for Entertainment Purposes and always because the users were browsing the Internet and are tricked into clicking on a fake warning of infection or security risk. Once they are tricked into that initial click, life goes downhill rapidly as the infection installs itself and then takes deeper root as the user clicks on subsequent fake screens. If they don't register the fake program, it will proceed to convince them to register by progressively turning off more and more Windows features.My question to the knowledgeable users of this forum is:Does anyone know of an antivirus/spyware program or combination of programs that can catch these infections as they initially try to install from that first ill-fated click while browsing the Internet?I have tried all the Big names to varying degrees of disappointing success.Would registered versions of MalWarebytes or Super AntiSpyware be effective?
I download, installed and restarted XP after installing SP2 fine. I then logged back onto windows update to install remaining updates.they were downloaded and installing when I left. I expected the computer to need to be rebooted and would be fine when updates have finished. Got a text message later this evening from sister saying that all the computer does now is having a black screen? What has gone wrong? How can I solve it? We are running xp home edition on a machines PC.
I have just got a phone plug in my room so I do not have to use my USB adaptor for my wireless broadband as it keeps losing the signal. I now have the router in my room using the Ethernet hole on my new MSI K8T Neo2-F V2.0 Motherboard, but every time I try and download a file it is corrupted. I have tried many different file just in case it was that. This did not work so I tried using my USB adopter and every thing downloads fine again. The driver for it is Realtek rtl8169/8110 family GIGABIT ETHERNET NIC and this is the web site for the motherboard nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3318077&CatId=15
When I click on desktop and select properties to change the desktop wallpaper I have a list of family photographs!I still have the desktop wallpaper folder in windows web folder but how do I put it back into the desktop and remove the ones that are mysteriously there.
i have windows XP home edition service pack 3. and i use Microsoft office 2003, and well recently it began to pop up and say microsoft office word has not been installed for current user. please run setup utility. Well i only have one user, never had another user created until recently (temporary fix) is there anything i can do, the main user is called the owner, it says its the computer admin, but i guess there is still an admin user, i cant get to that. the only way i can get ms office to work was to create a new user, open all the office programs, export the office registry, and import it to my main user, thats the only thing that works, for a little bit.
Quote :NEW YORK (Reuters) -- A U.S. federal jury found that Microsoft Corp. infringed audio patents held by Alcatel-Lucent and should pay $1.52 billion in damages, the No. 1 software maker said Thursday.
Microsoft said it plans to first ask the trial judge to knock down the ruling and will appeal if necessary. It said the verdict is unsupported by the law and that it had already licensed the technology in question from Germany's Fraunhofer.
Alcatel-Lucent had accused the world's biggest software maker of infringing patents related to standards used for playing MP3 digital music files.
What equipment and software do I need to place multiple live cameras in a house I plan to renovate and have the ability to view the screens from my residence in an adjoining county? I have a Dell 8300, 2.6ghz clock speed, 1 gig RAM, 80 gig hard drive. There are two lesser machines in my residence connected through a home network; cable modem, router, hub, then PC's.
Updates, OE 6.x, Live OneCare. Nothing works. Nothing updates. For many years this HP PC with XP home worked perfect. But this week after the latest MS Updates 3 things have broke. Updates will not update. The MS Windows Updates pages hangs and will not DL the updates. OE 6.x will not DL the webbased email from: myname@msn.com MS Live OneCare will not update. Now this HP PC will not restart, reboot. It just hangs forever. And ever. All 4 things broke at the same time on the same day after DL'ing the MS Updates

My daughter is having problems with a Intel web cam cs630 w/the XP drivers loaded. She is trying to use Win Live Messenger.When she tries to open the messenger, even without the camera on, her system slows down or completely stops. Is Win Live Messenger compatible with XP? Is the old Intel cs630 web cam compatible (even with the drivers for XP)? It does tell her to have service pack 2 or above and she has service pack 3 installed.
I'm getting ready to do a format/reinstall XP on a friend's Acer laptop that we've been fighting viruses other malware problems- when he finds his disk, that is. I've done several reinstalls before, and I usually just go in and save the Outlook Express mail & address book folders to a USB drive. This time it's Windows Live Mail, which I've never used before. How is the e-mail & address book saved?

Windows XP will not boot. After the first "Dell" screen, a blinking underscore appears on a blank page. The hard drive and all hardware are fine, as confirmed by friend computer wizards. This is without doubt a software problem.
I burned SLAX (a linux derivative) to a live CD and set my BIOS to boot from CD. SLAX is fantastic, but I wonder if I can restore windows to a previous point or investigate my boot sequence using SLAX's file manager There is a high likelihood that I have a trojan.
Side question: Would you recommend trend micro antivirus over norton? is there another antivirus option you'd recommend more highly than both of these?
