    1. Start>Control Panel>Windows Firewall
    2. If it says it is off, turn it on, and click Apply and OK.
    I would at least get Microsoft Security Essentials to protect your PC. I don’t know much on the having someone hacking your computer section, and I am afraid this is as much info that I know on it.

  3. tasm.exe and tlink.exe are old DOS programs that will not run under a 64 bit OS. There is no 64 bit version. You would need to run a virtual machine such as VirtualPC, or a virtual DOS environment such as DosBox.

    Be aware that a factory reset will erase all your persoal files in the process. So if there is anyhthing you wouldn’t like to lose, first copy it to external storage; typically dvd, but an external hard drive too if possible. Label and keep the copies safe. Then when the system is working again properly you can copy those files back. Very useful (wise) to regularly copy personal stuff off a computer, so as to have it all safe etc. in event of problems.

    Also check the copies are fully accessible/readable pn at least one other working system, as well as the one that made them – if possible.

    This is where to find the manual for your Dell. It will include full details on to most things, factory reset included.

    Incidentally, why the need to go for a factory reset? There may be other less drastic options to consider?

    The key to access the boot menu for that model should be F12, pressed when the gateway/acer logo or posting screen is showing. Is that what you’re asking? Your thread title doesn’t match your description. You can’t boot up a new hard drive until it’s got windows installed on it but you should be able to put a USB device as the first boot device and then boot from it–assuming it’s got bootable media in it.

    AppIntegrator.exe is a component of the adware program known as Websearch.

    If the error message appears every time Windows starts, it means the Adware has been removed but a load line is still left in Windows Startup. This line needs to be manually removed.

    Install Ccleaner: http://filehippo.com/download_cclea…

    Open Ccleaner.

    In the left panel, click “Tools”, then click “Startup”.
    Look under the default “Windows” tab.
    Look for a line which contains AppIntegrator.exe

    Highlight that line, then click on the “Delete” button.
    Now restart Windows & the error should no longer appear.
