TiWorker 50% of CPU and Updating doesn't work in any way
I just purchased a copy of Win 8 Pro and I see that there is a process eating up 50% of my CPU. It's called 'Windows module installer worker'/TiWorker.exe. I've tried to run some updates in the hope that it will fix it (although why aren't the updates included in the Win 8 version I just downloaded today, I don't know). I cannot update anything. I am very frustrated as I've wasted 6+ hours of my weekend on this and while I was enthusiastic on switching to Win 8, it turns out it's such a complete waste of time. Incredible and if it wouldn't be midnight, I would be half way through installing Win 7 right now. View this thread

Critical Data - A Safety Net
<a href= I felt like mentioning this cause maybe some Folks aren't realizing it. People might hear about Clouds Services & off-premise data storage to most average users/consumers would mean little, if anything. Some people have more than 1 drive or partition in their machine & may or may not know why or what to do w/ it, in terms of data storage & or backing up files. Some people have external drives & maybe have auto functions doing sensible things @ regular intervals. Notice I said some people... Almost all people have data, files, documents, photos, images, that are important to them. Well, here's a safety net that may not occur to everyone though, it is available to everyone... this one is a bit new on the scene, needs no hardware and doesn't care if your gear does fail, blows up or suffers any catastrophic event... your data will, still, exist. Plus, bonus, it is FREE and offers, if I recall correctly, 250Gigs of storage. SkyDrive. Save or copy stuff to SkyDrive. Heck, I have Data drives in my PC and an External drive and I, still, put certain, high-priority material in SkyDrive. Just thought maybe deserved a mention/reminder.

Missing or corrupt files
I have a Toshiba Satellite, when I turn it on it seems to be fine, but when it goes to boot up Windows XP Home Edition the screen goes blank and after about 5 minutes it displays "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: "<Windows root>system32hal.dll" Please re-install a copy of the above file." Where do I get a copy of this file? and how do I install it if the computer does not go past the initial start-up screen? View this thread

I did try installing it, but everytime I do, I get a message saying that it is not compatible with my computer, when I chose the right options for windows 7 64-bit. View the thread

Will MSE remove Snap Do virus?
My parent's computer has the Snap Do virus. I just uninstalled their Norton and installed MSE and ran the first scan, but it did not detect anything. What is my next step to removing this virus and any other problems that may be associated with it. I understand that it can open a hole through which hackers can gain access to their computer. I'm not sure what other information you need, but I know Snap Do is showing up only in Chrome. Regards, David View this thread

WindowsXPSP3/ MSNDialup NOT WORKING FOR 6 WKS.
WindowsXPSP3/ MSNDialup NOT WORKING FOR 6 WKS. I've been with dialup since it was offered so I understand speed and ETC. Hot Mail (which I don't like) seems to be working. On MSN Email --- Can't send nor do I receive Emails (every once in a while one will arrive...and when I go to Hotmail...22 arrived). Talked with 13 techs, removed all files (alt/shiftF9) 7 times. Just some of the issues: MSN inbox (top left above folders) keeps going to yellow Trangle and says i'm disconnected yet I am on line. Connection errors include: 0x80072efd / 0x0x80191002 / 0x80072eff and others. Deleted trash returns every time. Mark an Email unread and it gets deleted. Tons and tons and tons of other issues. Microsoft Techs seem to be stuck on Alt/Shift/F9 and nothing improves and at times gets worse... like the last time I alt/shif/F9...folders came back but old email not showing. Email window Blank and Empty. Browsing super slow & usually stops and tells me I'm not on line. Micro diagnosis says I am and to contact mfg. One tech admitted a new server came into the issues. But 6weeks and I pay for the service? One tech said it was at my end. Frustrated, I got another PC, downloaded my MSN dialup, and NOW...I HAVE all the same issues on the added computer. The 2 computers are not connected. Stand alones. Phone lines checked. Modems checked. Micro seems to keep secrets. And obviously can't solve my issues. Obviously frustrated spendinging 15 hours on the phone and tired of the Microsoft Music on hold. Should I cancel? Today, even hot mail was acting up. Using Internet Explorer i keep getting ERROR 500 messages or a particular Microsoft web page no longer exists. Can't browse at all using MSN Internet Browser. What in the world is happening to all of us MSN people????? View this thread
