[SOLVED] Trying to start Windows Firewall

Hi again xilolee, OK, first a big thanks for coming back to me. On the Device Manager, you are correct - there are more choices here than when going through the 'services'. It is currently set to "Automatic", but other settings are available (Boot, Demand, System and Disabled). I will have a...

[SOLVED] Trying to start Windows Firewall

Hi xilolee, The underlying symptom I am suffering is a sudden slowdown in PC performance which I am trying to resolve. One contender (apparently - but I have my doubts) is AVG. So I do want to uninstall it. However, I don't want a) my system to be left exposed indefinitely and b) I am not keen...

[SOLVED] Trying to start Windows Firewall

[SOLVED] Trying to start Windows Firewall

Hi xiloee, Thanks for the pointer, but that article, whilst quite useful didn't do the trick. I have been through the malware checks (with support from Corrine) - with an all clear (on my wider PC performance issue), method two returns the 0x8007042c error and method 3 and 4 both return the...

BSOD & Severe PC performance degredation

*bump* - just to confirm the underlying PC performance is unresolved, regardless of the BSOD issue (which hasn't re-occurred) Grateful if anyone can advise on the issue, or where the PC performance/latency issue is best posted.

Hello I have a sound pops and clipping. I really need help fixing this problem

There seems to be a lot of people suffering similar problems, but so far I haven't seen any published solution. I am getting horrible latency issues, making my machine nigh on unusable (other than a simple word processor and very light surfing like this post). A thread in Malware has confirmed I...

BSOD & Severe PC performance degredation

During the 24 hour window of the Driver Verifier, the machine did crash again. Being a bit of a numpty in the BOD space, I ran BlueScreenView to see if it shed any light (was it related to the Driver Verifier or not). I have attached an example screenshot. It looks like the crash may be...

BSOD & Severe PC performance degredation

I have initiated driver verification (using the cmd route as in the posting guidance), rebooted but see noting happening. Is this normal? I know the post also says to allow 24 hours to complete, but don't want to wait 24 hours and then find the job hasn't started or something like that? Any...
