I bought my mom this cheap dell for use in her kitchen. She literally does nothing but facebook games, youtube, and email on this computer.
She keeps getting an error about:
api-ms-win-core-com-l1-1-0.dll
The only problem, is that the error message appears and then within a few seconds the entire system just shuts down. So I'm not sure if its missing this .dll, or what specifically the issue is. There is nothing particularly wrong with the computer except that sometimes it just randomly displays this message then shuts down.
Is there an easy fix? Or should I just wipe the drive and reinstall windows?

I just went ahead and installed Ubuntu 12.04 on the system.

I've recently switched to Chrome as my default browser. Ever since, I always get notifications to update flash player, the official adobe installer launches, I hit download, and nothing happens.
What is going on? How do I stop this from happening? How do I get flash updated? When I go to chrome://components/ and click update on Flash I get "component not updated". Any ideas?
I do use Chrome on OS X and also on windows. I don't have any issues on windows, but on mac I always get these update prompt.
I downloaded the uninstaller for flash from here and used it to uninstall from my system. Chrome seems to run its own instance of Flash, so that seemed to work so far.

My network user id keeps getting locked out, but I'm not doing it. I'm positive no one is using it besides me, but it is embedded in various places, for example I have a local IIS instance that is using it. However, my ID was locked over the weekend & I wasn't working. I'm assuming that my id is embedded somewhere else with an old password. How can I find out where?
Scour the Windows Security event logs on the machines where you may have set up scheduled tasks or services to run as you. Or if it's consistently happening, power down a machine and see if you still get locked out, if you do it's not that powered off machine, use the process of elimination that way (if possible).

Once I've run my project, I can't run it again.
I also can't quit Xcode; when I try, it stops responding.
Does anyone know the source of this problem? It's been happening for two days.
Check these things
Restart PC and try again.
Check your process list, for anything related to xcode
If non of these work, I'm stumped xD

I have this problem now for a long time.
It happens that for example I have many Command prompt windows and notepad opened and suddenly I realize the windows are gone but the processes are still in Task manager.
Does anyone know what is going on. Did I press some kind of shortcut for this to happen.
Can I get them back somehow?
I found the culprit.
I started this software which caused the problems:

I can access most of the folders on my mac partition but some I can't.. there is no pattern..
it says "xxxx is not accessible. Element not found."
Also I noticed that in some folders there is an old "snapshot".. the files have already moved but it is not reflected from the windows side... the strange thing is that I can still open some of the files that are actually no longer there (they moved to a subfolder for example).
What is going on? Can I make all my Mac files reliably accessible all the time?
thank you!
david
The solution: I installed MacDrive program in my Win7.. now the Mac partition is reliably readable and I can write to it also..
