PowerShell probably got on my computer as part of an update from Windows. I don't know and don't feel I want to know how to operate it, as I don't see what good it is going to do me. So, since there is no Uninstall link, and it does not appear in Add/Remove Programs, can I just leave it and get on with my life? In other words, is it going to be harmful? View this thread

After installing service pack 3, there is 100 percent demand on the CPU, and system idle is at 99 percent. Uninstalling the service pack, and re-installing service pack 2 resolves the memory leak ?? Computer slows the the equivalent of a pentium 75. This seems to be the norm with some AMD users in different forums around the net. All programs closed, startup programs suspended, and the cpu draw is 100 percent. I even tried a reformat and clean install to resolve possible, software and hardware conflicts, unplugging all but the to be local/ logical drive. This makes it difficult to install Windows 8, and resolving this may end a mass of complaints of install failures many are having to deal with. Including myself. I am running 3000+ MB, AMD 1.8, Ram/ 2 gigs. A basement and old configuration, but this problem is not limited to mine, but duals and quads as well. Anyone have any Ideas???? View this thread

Windows 7 successfully downloads updates OK. Then later, no knowing when, Windows 7 simply re-boots RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WORK -- WHICH IS LOST. It does NOT ask my permission to re-boot, it just re-boots. The re-boots are successful and Windows 7 runs fine thereafter. However, whatever I am working on when this happens is LOST. Where is the setting to make Windows 7 ask my permission BEFORE re-booting for updates ?? thanks, Bob View the thread

I have a retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium, with key. I plan to build an entirely new computer (CPU, MB, case, memory, video card, etc.), but then use my current hard drive (because it's quite new), on which I personally installed Windows 7 about one year ago. I've read various posts on both Microsoft Forums and other sites. But the answers are somewhat contradictory: I'll just need to do a Windows repair I'll need to simply activate my Windows again via phone I'll need to do a complete fresh install and variations of all of these? Can someone give me the real story about what I'll need to do? FYI, I currently back up my data files using Memeo Instant Backup onto a Seagate external drive, and also use Windows 7 backup onto a different external drive. I don't, however, presently have a complete mirror image backup (or whatever it's called), although I could, of course. I'd appreciate some assistance on how I should proceed. Thanks.

I purchased FastAgain PC Booster 3 months ago and have not been able to use it yet. They require you Register & get a key, but this is impossible. They require you Register & get a key, but this is impossible to accomplish. TAlso they guarantee the produce 100%. I tried to get a refund thru PayPal whom I used to process my payment for this junk and it was denied. I cannot use this because I can't get it registered. Can anyone tell me how to contact them directly. This also seems to be impossible. Tnx. Jill View the thread

Recently I updated from IE8 to IE9 and had about a month of trouble-free browsing. Then IE9 started to get very slow loading pages and eventually just became completely unresponsive. I have just uninstalled it and have reverted to IE8 but, after the program opens, it is also unresponsive. What should I do? Uninstall IE8 and then reinstall it? As it happens I also downloaded Google Chrome around the same time I updated to IE9 and actually posted a question about whether Chrome can interfere with Windows in any way. Since then the laptop freezes I was experiencing have completely stopped - thankfully! - and so I don't think Chrome was interfering in any way with Windows (though I wonder if it might have affected Internet Explorer). At the moment Google Chrome is working very well but, after many years using IE, I would still like to be able to browse with it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Kevin. View this thread

My computer, unable to start due to a HP update this morning, had to go through a full factory restore. I backed up my files beforehand on a USB drive, however, when I've opened the USB to restore my files, I am unable to open the restore.exe application. It's telling me that the version of the file isn't compatible with the version of Windows (7) I have. I don't think this is a problem with all .exe files. View the thread

I am using GP user preferences to create shortcuts on my users' desktops. On all my Vista/Win7 machines they are fine and the icons are what I set them to be. on all my Win8 machines the icon is just a blank white square. If I right-click and view the icon, the correct image appears. But when the user is looking at the desktop the image is blank. I have upgraded a couple machines, scratch built one, and purchased an OEM version on a new laptop. All are the same: blank shortcut icons. Surely I'm not the only person testing Win8 in a domain environment, right? View the full article
