how to get rid of win32.small.ca
by Guest georgekotsiris- 0 replies
- 144 views
Happy New Year to everyone, I tried loading Trend Micro Maximum Security 2012 on to my computer but the machine keeps shutting down and restarting. After doing the Microsoft report thing, I followed the link and said something called win32.small virus is responsible. The weird part is I have run the Microsoft tool to get rid of it, updated Windows XP, used Trend Micros's house call service, used a program from PC Tools to hunt it down and another one from Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from Antimalwarebytes Corporation. Also used Kapersky Trial Software too to no avail. Anything else I can try? kindly yours G Continue reading...

Windows 7 Logon Background - How to minimize it, so it doesn't stretch across the entire screen
by Guest dpoole46- 0 replies
- 202 views
We are upgrading all Windows XP SP3 to WIndows 7 Enterprise. I created a Master Image to use with WDS for deployment purposes. The Master Image is set up exactly how I need it to be, WITH THE EXCEPTION of the Logon Screen Logo. We use a .JPG file of our Corporate Logo. In Windows XP, it could be configured to be small and centered on the screen, with Windows 7, it stretches across the entire screen (Image *doesn't* look good at all). Is there a way to do this in Windows 7? Thanks in advance for all your assistance! Continue reading...

Anyone tried deleting a registry key in Windows 7? Got "access denied" or "Error while deleting key"? The usual response is, "You need to run regedit as an administrator". but I *AM* logged in as Administrator, and running regedit as administrator, trying to assign administrator full permissions on that registry key in order to delete it!! Am I mistaken, or isn't Administrator supposed to be able to administer and control all the settings on the computer, in order to set it up for the "Average Joe" user? So, under the permissions menu of that key, go to advanced, change the owner from System to Administrator, and try again. It's no longer saying "access denied", b…
