  4. Recently, I had to reinstall Wild Tangent Games app (a had a problem after downloading a new game). At one point the WT support guy told me to remove the program and re-install it (was outdated). Did that, downloaded new setup.exe file. But, when I run it, it fails to install. (The progress bar with "Installing critical files" was displayed, but did not progress. After a few minutes, got the alert, "There was an unexpected error during installation. Please try again. (Error 1-769)". Tried a few more times, but no luck.) Was told by WT support that it is probably not working well with my security/AV/firewall software. I have only MS Security Essentials running. I considered completely disabling MS SE, but then thought better of it, and have decided to post this question. Does anyone have any input? I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) on an HP ProBook 4530s (2.1 GHz, 4GB RAM). Thanks!!! View this thread
  5. I'm running Windows 7 and had Microsoft Security Essentials installed from the start - Jan '11 ish. A couple of months ago MSE stopped working as well as refused to be installed or uninstalled due to not being able to find something related to the Microsoft Security Client. This coincided with downloading some other software from a site that wasn't as reliable as I first thought, hence I think is the work of a virus. I have been using AVG since then but the trial just ran out. AVG didn't find any viruses. I have tried manually uninstalling as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2435760#LetMeFixItMyselfAlways, but this didn't work out. In particular there were no instances of Microsoft Security Essentials in the registry, only Microsoft Security Client. Any ideas? Thanks. Steve View this thread

  7. Posted on [*]First off you’re going to have to grab yourself an ISO image of the Windows 8 Release Preview. You can download the Windows 8 Release Preview from here. [*]Now next up download the Windows 7 USB/DVD tool (yes it works fine with Windows from [url=http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool" target="_blank">here [*]And of course you’ll need a USB (Minimum size of 4GB) Once you’ve got those 2 things, it’s pretty straight forward. Install the Windows 7 USB Tool and then start it up. You’ll then be asked to locate the ISO file you wish to use.

[url=http://www.everything-microsoft.com/2012/06/07/install-windows-8-usb/iso-image/" rel="attachment wp-att-94484">http://cdn10.everything-microsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/iso-image.jpg?9d7bd4 Now in the next step you will be asked to select the device that you wish to use. You can use either a DVD or USB with this tool. Go ahead and select USB Device, you’ll then be asked to choose which drive it is. The tool will format the USB drive so everything that’s saved on it will be removed, so be aware of this.

[url=http://www.everything-microsoft.com/2012/06/07/install-windows-8-usb/completed_thumb1/" rel="attachment wp-att-94486">http://cdn8.everything-microsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Completed_thumb1.png?9d7bd4 Congratulations, now you’ve successfully created a copy of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview on a USB. The next step now is to simply boot your computer with your USB inserted. Most new computers try to boot from USB’s before the hard drive so it should start the process automatically. However this is different on every computer so you may need to configure your boot menu by pressing F8 (varies for different PCs) and choosing to boot from a USB Device. Once you do this, the hard part is over and you just simply install Windows 8 as normal.

  22. All my windows files now are not recognized - as I don't have correct software? I deleted it, trying to clear space on my hardrive - but I in fact needed that software: whereas my computer said I didn't... I think the software was called: windows basic service pack 2003, though I am not sure - and cannot find that download. I have a Windows XP laptop and really need to download that software again so I can read my files. But I don't know what software I need? I have tried downloading some 2007 software from your website - but that did nothing. Please help? View this thread

  24. We have just changed from XP to WIndows 7 and one of our Account Supervisors are finding it different to work with. In Excel in the number format you can't format negative numbers in red and ( ). You can set up a custom but then you have to set it up for all documents. You can set up a Macro which he did but it is an additional step. In Accounting this is a normal practice to you brackets around negative numbers. He has found in Power Point that was created in Office 7 on XP is he embedded a spreadsheet worked on it then came out it would automatically autosize the sheet back to fit the slide on his new machine if he works with the embedded spreadsheet it doesn't resize it's self and leaves the spread sheet showing outside the slide. He has a number of Presentations that he uses from year to year and he is starting to worry that it is going to take a lot of time with his new system. One of the neat things that worked in XP was the ability in the Open screen of any of the suites application that you could create a shortcut to in the left hand side of that screen that would allow a person to open a folder quickly instead of creating a mapped drive. These are a few of the things that only cropped up after we moved from XP to Windows 7. I have never seen an operating system change the way a program runs . I have seen changes on how to open a program but not the internal workings. If you have any ideas on how to correct the problems that I have listed above please let me know. View the thread
  25. I have a a6410t HP PC. I clicked on CONTROL PANEL-PERSONALIZATION-ADJUST FONT SIZE (DPI) - CUSTOM DPI entered 206 ,clicked on APPLY and restarted PC.. But the size of the font increased the window size so much that I can't get to the bottom where the CUSTOM DPI AND apply buttons are so I can make it small again. Also can't use Restore for the same reason., any help will be greatly appreciated and time is critical. View this thread
