Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta vs. Windows Defender Offline Beta?
by Guest Paul Durham- 0 replies
- 132 views
I have been using Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta for some time (http://connect.microsoft.com/systemsweeper). I see now that there is Windows Defender Offline Beta (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offline). Neither product page mentions the other, and both pages still exist, so I must assume the products are different. The download & configuration instructions are just about the same for both too. What is Microsoft's explanation for how they differ? Continue reading...

I'm trying to change the "stuff" installed from Office 2010 Pro Plus using the DVD which is Labeled "Backup Disc" and it is not working. I'm running Win7 64bit OS and have installed Office as a 32bit. I've tried using the Change feature from the Control Panel - this will not work. So attempted using Backup disc - this does not work. In both situations the I'm prompted for the Installation DVD, I put it in and direct it to the folder containing the required file and get "Invalid location" then the software does a rollback. What's the problem? Continue reading...

How do I buy an OEM Windows 7 product key for Windows 7 clean installed via upgrade?
by Guest willhotsprings- 0 replies
- 107 views
I performed a clean installation of Windows 7 Upgrade on a brand new PC without installing any other OS. I didn't realize that it was an "upgrade" version. Now, I need a valid Windows 7 product key. Can I purchased an OEM version of Windows 7 at a website like Newegg.com to activate my Windows 7? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986 I just checked and my copy of Windows XP was an upgrade version too! My copy of Vista is an OEM from my old HP laptop. If nothing else works, would it work to install OEM Vista on my new computer and upgrade or is that OEM Vista tied to the original HP laptop?

I've been having a lot of problems with this Script Errors and had been trying using different buttons on my keyboard to slow the script thing from popping up. And using the bar on the bottom of the keyboard, with the Enter key or holding the F5 key seemed to keep it at bay or temporarily make it disappear, then if I'm working on a page especially in Facebook games area or my yahoo e-mails it will jump to a different page or game entirely! I came over here to try and check for errors and wondered about this MAT SVC errors in the Event Error Log! Also there are 2 files missing in the System Information box- iecont.dll and iecontll.dll!
