I'm not sure why, but about a week ago the sys tray icon just stopped appearing. I checked the Select which icons and notifications appear on the taskbar and the only thing that might apply is the Microsoft Security Client User Interface, which is set to show icon and notifications. No specific option for Security Essentials. I just like to see the green shield at all times so I know I have real time protection. Window 7 Home Premium, SP1 View this thread

I just purchased a HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC with Windows 8. It also came with Norton Anti-Virus that I do not wish to install. But both the Norton and Microsoft Security essentials show they are turned off. It allows me to turn on the Norton if I want, but it won't turn on the Essentials. Is one part of the other?

I was told I would have no problem installing Windows XP Home Edition on a new computer that came pre loaded with Windows 7 Starter. When I load the CD with Windows XP I get the following: Run setup.exe I click on Install Windows XP Program is blocked due to compatibility issues. Setup cannot continue because version on computer is newer than version on CD. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem and install Windows XP? Thanks Don View this thread

I suppose that in part, because I really want the start button to be back on Windows 8 that I am posing this question, but I see a feature here that would be nice and would satisfy me such that I would no longer care about a Start button. I've always liked the taskbar more than the start button but it is missing my favorite feature that was in the Start Menu. And maybe it isn't and that's what this question is about? How do I add an icon to the taskbar that will pull up a drop down of all the Microsoft Office tools (as opposed to putting each one on the taskbar)? R, J View the full article

I was playing Easter Solitaire when my XP screen turned blue with the notice a serious error had occurred. One remedy suggested was removing any software recently installed which was AVG Linkscanner and then use Systems Restore which I tried using two different dates both of which brought the response that Systems Restore could not restore to either date. What would prevent Systems Restore from working? View this thread

Zdravím. Při hraní online hry Battlefield Play4Free, se někdo naboural na můj počítač a začal pohybovat postavou vojáka ve hře, měnit zbraně a dokonce začal psát, tak jako bych to psal já svým spoluhráčům ve hře. Používám Avira free antivirus, ale ten vůbec na to nereagoval. Windows Defender je zaplý, vše mám aktualizováno. Mohl by mi někdo pomoci, jak se těmto útokům bránit? Děkuju Povala View this thread

I have Windows Vista Home Premium &amp use the Media Centre regularly. The Guide tells me I have only 3 days left &amp asks me to download updates which I do. This makes no difference &amp it still only updates to 1/1/2013. Have set up guide listings again but still no success. On the "About Guide Listings" page I note it quotes a start date of 1/1/01 &amp an end date of 1/1/2013. The EPG Version is quoted as 3.00 As a separate &amp continuing issue I find that Channel 5, although listed, does not give any data in the guide but I can still record from this channel using the add recording facility. Can anyone help please View this thread

I clicked on a link that took me to 'Regwork.com' . I did a scan they recommended, which found 1400 (approx) faults/errors that were slowing down my computer. Then I registered and paid Euro 60.00 (about $85 USD) to download the software they recommended. Date was 20th December 2012. I noticed no difference to performance of my PC after paying for, and downloading their software. I don't know if this was a potential scam, or not. I have the records of payments made via my paypal a/c to Clickbank. Would somebody please advise me. Thank you very much, Peter. View this thread

Hi, Have been trying to get an answer to this issue for a couple of months now with no success......hope somebody can point me in the right direction!! The text of my previous (unanswered) post is here at http:// social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprogenerl/thread/889d81b9-86bf-4c84-ad5f-21d852512636/#889d81b9-86bf-4c84-ad5f-21d852512636 this outlines the situation as I understand it! As far as I can tell, the issue has only arisen because of the non standard profile. In earlier versions of Windows paths could easily be reassigned through registry to restore any missing links arising from their default paths. In Windows 8 the addition of the modern UI Apps introduces a new variable for which I have so far been unable to get any information upon their association with registry default paths (if any) and just how they interact with each User Profile. If I had some idea of how to make the UI Apps recognise the non standard profile path (i.e. D:User) I might be able to restore functionality...... In short I wish to achieve the following: 1. Retain the (Primary) user profile location of D:User (NB. NOT C:UsersUser OR D:UsersUser) 2. Sign into Windows 8 with a 'Local' Account 3. Enjoy full functionality of the Metro Apps......especially the Windows Store :) 4. Sign In to the Store FROM my 'Local' Account submitting my 'MS Account' ONLY as and when required to actually 'Sign In' to the Store 5. Keep other (Secondary) user profiles located in D:UsersOthers NOT C:UsersOthers I hope this makes sense and would appreciate any responses which can either suggest a solution or at least explain how the UI Apps interface with the user profile paths so that I can investigate further why this is now working as it should. Many thanks in advance, PC Pilot View the full article

Hi My PC (which is only 5 days old) has had some issues since I first booted it up. It likes to either lock up or completely shut down and restart on its own. It does this at random times, never when I am actively making inputs (like say during a game) but it shut down when I was watching a 6 minute YouTube video. My drivers for my GTX 680 are up to date (310.70), and my Gigabyte X79-UP4 board has its Audio, Chipset, LAN, and USB drivers updated. I have install every update on Windows 8 to date. I also ran tests on my HDD and RAM and those tests showed nothing bad. I don't know what to do to fix this except try to downgrade to Windows 7. If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it, and I'll add additional details as necessary. My specs are: Intel Core i7-3820 Quad-core 3.60GHz Nvidia Geforce GTX 680 2GB Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR3 RAM 2TB SATA-III 6GB/s HDD GIGABYTE X79-UP4 Intel X79 Chipset Quad Channel DDR3 ATX Mainboard View the full article
