General Computer Support / Re: gpedit.msc

Windows 7 Home premium doesn't have gpedit.msc.
You can only find gpedit.msc in the Ultimate, Professional (old Business) and Enterprise editions, and not in the Home Premium or Basic editions.

« on: March 17, 2013, 11:38:12 pm »

QUESTION:
What program is there that tells you what files in your computer are what size?

For example.....I want to know what the largest files in my computer are. How do I get a list of this?

Do you mean program like this?

What kind of error do you get then you try to start IE? What does it say in Event Viewer?

Can you start Internet Explorer with all add-ons disabled? (Click the Start button Picture of the Start button, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).)


Here is a "Auto Repair Internet Explorer" program: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/10/14/auto-repair-internet-explorer-with-fix-ie-utility/


And here is also a program that had helped people with IE "IEFix - General purpose fix for Internet Explorer" http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm

General Computer Support / Re: error code

« on: February 03, 2013, 12:36:01 am »

On Microsoft community forum I found this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_cp-winapps/cannot-install-windows-8-apps-error-0x80073cf9/97e793dc-4d46-44ab-a7ec-ec4a2b435304
 
The problem is that the folder AUInstallAgent is missing from the Windows folder.....
"Create the AUInstallAgent folder in the %windir% folder. Reboot after you make it."
I had this problem, recreated the folder and low and behold all is working fine.
Now what I want to know is why the folder disappeared in the first place, because I didn't delete it, and looking around the web I'm not alone....
 
Also this solution seems to help some people too:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-winapps/this-app-wasnt-installed-error-0x80073cf9/92ec7c44-51ef-4c6a-9331-22958e01b4ec?page=3

"i had the same problem. I think it has to do with the Windows refresh/restore function.
   1. Go to c:\Program Files\
   2. Create folder "WindowsApps"
   3. Restart."

Do you have a laptop or a desktop computer and which Windows version do you have?

Is there is no CD/DVD drive listed in BIOS?

Did you check the master/slave jumpers?

Does the drive show up in Device Manager?

Security Center
Windows Update

I think that Microsoft Security Essentials is designed to disable Windows Defender in win 7, but that doesn't explain why it doesn't work.

Have you search for virus or malware?

Have you tried step 1, 2 and 3 in Windows repair?

It happens as often as before, but it's only the first time I start the computer I get the error.

I will try run RB normal in Task Scheduler, have to wait couple of days to see what happens.

I have got the error two times now, it's then I start the computer. I see nowhere in Win XP where I can delay the start of Registry Backup in Task Scheduler, so I can try that.

Does RB crashes because it uses Task Scheduler as hidden or does it crash because it uses Task scheduler as hidden and at the same time use "auto delete old backups"?

Tomas_Sweden, how goes the program so far on the crashing?

I will go to my brother tomorrow and check.

When you guys have it run through the Task Scheduler do you have the program set to be hidden, minimized or showing and with what account?

I have it set to be hidden!

Ok I have tried the new version now on my brothers xp computer, so far so good! 

First I had "Auto Delete Old Backups" set to delete 7 days and keep 7 backups, but it didn't delete any backups so I changed the settings and restarted several times, now I have it set to "delete" 1 days and keep 0 backups, I will try this for some time so I know that it all works.

If you are using Win Vista or Win 7 (I dont know about Win 8) you can use "System Restore Explorer" to browse and select individual system restore points and delete them, very useful tool!

« on: December 08, 2012, 05:01:21 am »

If I look at my Win 7 computer I don't have this entry in the registry, but I do have IE 9.
 
It should be enought with "per-user setting" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
but I'm not sure, I haven't had this problem myself.

Before you try this do a backup(export) the registry key of Internet Settings.
In regedit go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings 
Then click on "File" and Export, name the file to what you want and for example save it to the desktop, if anything goes wrong then you just double-click on it.

I think you should add 32-bit DWORD, "value name": BypassSSLNoCacheCheck and "value data": 1 with Base Hexadecimal.
