Early this a.m. I was using my computer and worked on 3 Word doc. I saved these docs on a USB(DataTraveler) and shut down the computer with this USB still in the port. About 20 min later I turned the computer on again and got that Blue Screen. Very shortly a message appeared saying windows could not start the computer then a message that recommended that I start in the Repair mode so I clicked on that. During the time that it was trying to do any repairs I got the message that I should let it start the computer in a previous time but in doing so any new programs would be gone or something similar to that. There is not always time to read all of the message and I did not…

The last few days I have been making some changes to my computer copying files from a desk top to a laptop. I had no issues with my outlook express mail prior to me making some changes. What's interesting is that what I'm experiencing is not happening to my wifes e-mail messags on outlook express or on her iphone. I get e-mails on outlook express, but I can't send my self a message(it doesn't go through). Since this has happened I cannot get any messages on my iphone4. I have windows xp and outlook express 2003 View this thread

So, what was the point again to remove the DVD codecs? We've been told they are expensive, ok, so, they are gone. What's the result? The Windows 8 retail pricing is back to normal. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/pd/productID.266514600 http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/pd/productID.264832100 199$ for pro, 119 for the home version. W7 had the same pricing in case you forgot: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10272259-56.html "Microsoft sets Windows 7 pricing, upgrade programs" "When boxed copies of Windows 7 go on sale on October 22, Microsoft plans to charge $119 for Home Premium, $199 for Professional" I do…

When applying windows update it went into a loop(message: configuring updates 3 of 3, do not turn off your computer) It would then reboot and get the same message over and over. I was able to restore from a point 2 days ago. I have disabled the auto windows update. I currently have 11 critical updates that I am afraid to install as it will problem cause the looping again. There was no way I can determine which update(s) caused the problem WHAT SHOULD I DO ? *** Email address is removed for privacy *** 859 586-1567 View this thread

When I get my automatic updates, I always restart my computer when prompted. It says that they install, but then during the configuration process, the updates fail and my computer has to "revert changes". It's been about 2 months since an update has installed successfully. I always get the error code "800F0826" Some updates that fail include: -Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2779562) -Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2778344) -Update for Kernel-Mode Driver Framework version 1.11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2685811) -Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-b…

Thanks for your prompt response to my earlier question re upgrading to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Per the Windows Upgrade Advisor, my system will take the 32 bit version of Windows Professional 7 with my current RAM. Would I still get faster processing with Windows 7 than I have with my XP 32 bit? Thanks. View this thread

Good Morning. First of all, here are my laptop's technical specifications: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&tmp_geoLoc=true&docname=c03000320 My laptop was purchased about one year ago, and has Windows 7 as the operating system. Everything was going fine until the last Windows updates. Basically, Windows 7 downloads and installs upadates automatically and then asks for reboot.

I'm running Fix-it Utilities Professional 12. The first time I installed it, Win Defender remained on and active. I'm having trouble recently with the CPU running @ Max, 100% continuously. In my search to find what is taxing the CPU so hard, it was suggested I remove and reinstall the Fix-it program. which I did using the downloaded removal tool. After the installation, Win defender appears in the task bar with a warning that it is turned off. I have tried to turn it on. Sometimes it comes on, sometimes I get an error that it timed out, and to try again later. Every time I reboot, it turns off again. Should I just leave it off? Now I have to figure out how to d…

Can I add an additional 1 GB of RAM to upgrade my Windows XP 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

I have a Gateway Windows XP with 2 RAM slots. Originally, there were two 256 MGs of RAM. To increase my RAM, Gateway sent me Kingston 1 GB DDR2 of additional RAM. In order to upgrade to my XP 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, I need an additional 1 GB of RAM. My questions are as follows: (1) Can I just install another 1 GB of RAM in the slot currently containing one of the original 256 MGs of RAM? (2) Do I get a DDR2 module of the 1 GB of RAM? The Kingston instructions say that DDR2 and DDR modules are not interchangeable. Thanks. View this thread
