Most recent MSE version?
by Guest OcieHudson- 0 replies
- 116 views
If memory serves, I uninstalled MSE in the last half of 2011 because it was adversely affecting the performance of my computer system. Indeed, the Windows 7 (64-bit) diagnostic fingered MSE as doing that. So I uninstalled it and began using Windows Defender, which has its own deficiencies. MSE is currently offered as "optional" by Windows Update, but it doesn't disclose the version or the date that it was released. As far as I can determine, Microsoft has not updated MSE since July 2011. When does Microsoft expect to release a new version in which the performance issues have been rectified? Maybe I should install Panda antimalware instead. Continue readi…

Virus reporting: blank IE window
by Guest gren- 0 replies
- 225 views
Where should I report an unidentified virus? While browsing the web yesterday, a blank IE window popped up on top of everything else. I identified the Window as an IE9 one, cause when I switched off the internet connection, there was the usual « page cannot be found » screen. This “ghost” window has an icon in the task bar: an old fashioned floppy diskette. The window puts itself in full screen at Windows startup, has no button or title, always stays on top of everything else, including the task manger and start menu, does not react to ALT+TAB, WIN+TAB or ALT+F4, this makes it impossible to operate Windows. CTRL+ALT+DEL would still allow me to shut down or reboot. The Wi…

Hi, I have internet Explorer 9 and I used to be able to type Arabic letters on my browser using my keyboard but recently I have not been able to do so unless through the on-screen keyboard? At the same time, I have no problem using my keyboard in typing Arabic letters into a word document. So, it seems to me like there's some issue with the browser and not the operating system. Please advise. Thanks Continue reading...

Is it legal to use the license for Windows XP that I have installed on my desktop in a virtual machine on that desktop? I checked the EULA for XP, and it doesn't mention Virtual Machines. That's to be expected because VM's weren't as common when XP was released. The very next version of Windows is Vista, and it's EULA specifically says it is okay to use the OS in a virtual environment on the computer it's installed on. "You may use the software installed on the licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system." Continue reading...

Internet Explorer Taking High CPU and Memory Usage on new computer.
by Guest LNatashaCoger- 0 replies
- 373 views
My security program warned me that Internet Explorer is taking high CPU and Memory Usage. This is a new Dell Inspiron One2320, I have used it just one week. A support person from Norton tried to correct the problem by accessing my computer and going through all the steps he could think of for well over an hour. It didn't work, but he says he suspects that there are some errors in the Internet explorer 9. I don't know what to do. I just bought this computer and now I'm afraid that all the memory is going to get eaten up. Please help me. I have windows 7 Home Premium. Continue reading...

I have kind of a strange one. I've seen several of forums similar but not exact to the issue i'm having. let me give you a little background on the issue.

Texas Instrument Drivers
by Guest bubbaalias- 0 replies
- 106 views
When I used XP, I was able to use my Texas Instrument Microlaser Pro 600 because the OS contained the TI printer entry when I used the Add a Printer utility. When I used the utility to add a printer, the OS gave you two choices--Have Disc or choose the Model and Manufacturer from a list. TI was there. Now, with Windows 7, they removed the TI entry and I do not the the driver disc. I hate to buy another printer. Is there any workaround? If we know the location where all the drivers were stored in XP, we can copy the drivers and paste them to the corresponding location in Windows 7. It could work, but I do know the location where all the model information and driver…
