Ok, I have found many examples of this but every solution I have read doesn't work for me, I'll start at the top in what steps I have taken to the current situation. On installing Windows 7 it worked flawlessly, proceeded to install apps etc, that evening I turned off. On login the next day no...

I've just installed the new Windows 7 and am having problems with some .wav files not playing. The ones in question are information announcements (ie that anti-virus protection has updated) that are set up by non-Microsoft programs. The one I noticed first was when the Avast ant-virus protection...

Ccleaner gets recommended a lot and I've used it for quite a while with no problems until now. I was trying a different firewall and returned to the old one and ran the clean portion of Ccleanerof ver 2.23.999 after finishing. My PC is dual boot Vista/ Windows 7. When I booted into Windows 7...

Hi all . I am an avid video gamer & shut down my anti virus when playing online. This is commonly done. With XP , I was able to shut down Avast in task manager. With Windows 7 it gives me message of Access is Denied, but I AM the Administrator. How can I fix this? :frown:

I am having serious lag on my W7. I got a Performance Index of 5+ on my video. I have a Dual Core 2 at 3.0 mhz. I always have VMware and Avast running. It just lag. When I open IE, it lag. Going to VMware, it lag. In Window Explorer, it lag. Anyone have any idea?

A large amount of you folks on here seem to have a supernatural ability to know that the rest of the population can only speculate about. Do any of you well connected folks like drew or reghackr or anyone have an idea of when Microsoft Security Essentials is intended to be made available i've...

Why is that lately, the feature that supports rotating wallpapers disables after reboot? What i mean is, say i got my destination folder set to the root of 'My Pictures', and after reboot, no longer in my right click menu is the option to go to next desktop wallpaper, and at the same time, going...

OK. So this will be a very long story so get ready. I had Win7 dual-booted with Vista Ultimate. Please note that them two operating systems did come with the computer. I had to delete my Vista partition because it had a virus. So now I am left with Win7. But now this has a virus. When my comp...

Hey there. Been running Windows 7 RC x64 for around a week now and so far it's been working great. But today when I started the pc the OS booted normally but when it got to the desktop it hanged. I could move the mouse around but the cursor was the standard "spinning circle" when it was over...

edit: I still hope this helps someone, but the problem is back. Everything was flying after the driver was installed, but after the computer went to sleep, the incredibly frustrating problem is back. Even typing this is causing annoying lags. I have nothing installed except Firefox and Avast...
