  1. You know I've never really had a problem with MSE and it seems to run ok, But after seeing the news about the so called Flame Virus I was just wondering with the latest updates to MSE if Microsoft had addressed that issue...not that i think any "Cyber-Spys" are interested in my laptop! Yours curiously, Cannich View this thread
  2. I slipstream SP1 with office 2010, but after installing office, SP1 does not install at the same time, and I end by installing it manually! I did the same thing with office 2007 in the past and I did not have any problem. The only difference is that with office 2007, the Updates folder was empty to begin with, but here in office 2010 this folder is not empty. Should I first make it empty and then add the extracted files of SP1? Can anybody help? I am using Windows 7 Home Premium just in case. View this thread

  9. Hi. In application events I'm getting messages like these: Log Name:Application, Source:Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2, Event ID:257, Level:Error, Keywords:Classic, User:N/A, Description: The Cryptographic Services service failed to initialize the Catalog Database. The ESENT error was: -583. Log Name:Application, Source:SceCli, Event ID:1005, Level:Error, Keywords:Classic, User:N/A, Description: Some JET database is corrupt. Run esentutl /g to check the integrity of the security database %%windir%%securityDatabasesecedit.sdb. If it is corrupt, attempt a soft recovery first by running esentutl /r in the %%windir%%security directory. If soft recovery fails, attempt a repair with esentutl /p on %%windir%%securityDatabasesecedit.sdb. Then delete the log files in %%windir%%security. Ошибка при открытии баз данных безопасности, таких, как %windir%securitydatabasesecedit.sdb. But when I was tried to run commands: esentutl /g %windir%securityDatabasesecedit.sdb esentutl /r %windir%security esentutl /p %windir%securityDatabasesecedit.sdb All of them are reporting the "Operation terminated with error -583 (JET_errSectorSizeNotSupported, The physical sector size reported by the disk subsystem, is unsupported by ESE for a specific file type.)" error. Question is - how to fix it? It looks esentutl tool cannot do anything in this case because always report the same error (-583). :-( View the thread
  10. I got a phone call from a representative of this company saying that they were contracted by windows to do support and my computer was at risk. He said he had my license key to my computer from windows and wanted remote access to clean up the threats on my machine. I refused to provide access, but would like to know what the status of this comnpany is. Do they do work for microsoft? Are they legitimate? He asked questions about how the computer was used and what my antivirus program was. He gave me an address in Albany New York and a phone number to call back on, but I won't deal with someone calling me out of the blue without more information. Thanks View this thread

  14. I am trying to delete a "Live OneCare Backup" from my external hard drive. The file was created by a PC using XP Media Center 2005, SP2, or possibly SP3. I am accessing that external hard drive using my laptop with Win 7 Pro (64 bit). Everytime I try removing the file, an "Access Denied" error appears. Alternatively, I get a message that says "You need Administrator Priveleges, etc." I have tried: 1) changing the file permissions. I get no error message, but the file still won't delete. 2) I have tried the instructions in MS Article ID: 943904 "How to delete a Windows Live OneCare Backup file," and that didn't work. Below, is a copy of the command-line window after my last attempt at using the "Iacls" command: G:>Icacls G:"Windows OneCare Backup" /t G:Windows OneCare Backup BUILTINAdministrators:(OI)(CI)(F) Terry-HPTerry:(OI)(CI)(F) Terry-HPHomeUsers:(OI)(CI)(F) G:Windows OneCare BackupYOUR-45C550F850: Access is denied.

  17. My computer used to be configured for RAID 1. Since this was constant resynching, I removed the RAID feature and used the second drive as a backup drive instead (a backup is actually more suited to my needs). The problem is, when I start up my machine, the bootloader still gives me the option for "Windows 7 - Secondary Plex", even though there isn't one. How can I remove this without harming my primary disk? View the thread

  21. My security essentials was not running today. After checking this forum, I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it. After a few hours, I got a message that said I needed to reboot to complete "a clean". Tried to reboot, and windows wouldn't start. Finally did a system restore to an earlier time today and now Security Essentials won't start NOR will it let me reinstall it (says it is already installed) or remove it (says that files are missing). any help would be greatly appreciated.

  22. I want to do a clean install of Windows XP on what appears to be a homebuilt computer. The computer came with a product key, but no Windows XP disc. Is there a way for me to make a Windows XP disc from the files on the computer, or put it back to its original state some other way without saving the previous owner's stuff? The restore points only seem to go back three months, and most of the stuff I want to get rid of is way older than that. Thanks very much! :) View this thread
