General Computer Support / Windows 10 Start Menu plus problems

« on: December 05, 2015, 09:19:33 am »

For some unknown reason my Windows 10 Start menu will not open and right click on programs on the task bar do not respond either.   Doubleclicking on shortcuts indicates "do I want to run" and I select YES and the program disappears and is not showing in the Task manager either.  Whenever I reboot it takes a very long time to get started again and that has not been the case before this problem reared it ugly head.

When it is up it appears normal otherwise and I can run some programs without any diffculty as I am doing with the Firefox posting this on the Internet.  In some cases when I can't get the program to run from the shortcut I can go to the actual program exe file on the C drive and run it with no problem but not all will run that way either.

I have run Tweaking latest version in Safe Mode 3 times but doesn't really appear to be doing anything at all.  I have tried all the suggestions I found on the Internet including using the Powershell with "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}" pasted into it but get the message "denied etc". 

So far 2 days of frustration with this as I have not been having any problems with Windows 10 since first installed months ago.

HELP!!! someone.

General Computer Support / Problems with SignaLink USB being muted

« on: November 03, 2015, 10:45:28 am »

I have been using my SignaLink USB external sound card for over a year successfully.  I use it for digital work on both HAM and MARS bands but for some reason this past week Windows 10 started muting the "input" or microphone from it. I take it off mute and within 20 seconds to a few minutes it is muted again by Windows. What I do see is in the Volume Mixer a pop-up labeled Microsoft(C) Register Server that shows as being turned off or muted.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and also changing USB ports to no avail.

I have been using it with Windows 10 since early August with no problem.  I ran Tweaking PRO, it set for all repairs, for over 5 hours; separate runs of SFC /Scannow; McAfee Virus Plus and a Malware program on my setup and nothing has come up with a fix. I read the Q&A files for this device on line and don't find anything that appears to address this problem.  HELP!

General Computer Support / Lenovo Solutions Center installed

« on: August 02, 2015, 10:15:32 am »

I accidentally allowed the Lenovo Solutions Center software to download and install on my Windows 7 Lenovo desktop and now I have tried every thing I can think of to uninstall it.  It no longer appears on the Uninstall list but still shows up in my Devices and I can't find a way to remove it.  I have tried many different sources to no avail.   

Anyone out there have a solution to getting that complete erased from my hard drive/system????

General Computer Support / Getting error 1310 installing Quicken software

« on: July 23, 2015, 11:54:35 am »

  While trying to install/reinstall Quicken software I keep getting Error 1310 and after over an hour with Quicken support they tell me I need to call MS because it is a problem with the MS installer software.  Using Windows 7 64 bits computer.  I tried running Tweaking and then tried again only to get the same error and in the meanwhile ended having to restore my C drive from my backed up image files.  Any suggestions that can help shed light on this would be appreciated.

SOLVED:  Problem solved by running Tweaking with all options selected.  Thanks

General Computer Support / Right click taking long time

« on: February 18, 2013, 09:30:03 am »

When I right click on the icons on the desk top for some reason over the past 2 days it is very slow.  Sometimes ending up with message "explorer.exe not responding" then closes and refreshes the desk top. Several programs started doing the "not responding" message and having to be shut down and restarted only to have the same thing happen.  I have run the AIO latest version with all items checked and it made no different with this problem.

Can't seem to find way to fix SFC reporting msjet40.dll being corrupt in Windows 7 64 bit system.  Problem seems to be related to Mdac and net.framework.
