    Hi!Since februari I have been trying to update the EA game Sims 4. It gave me the same message everytime.I contacted EA before and they couldn't give me a sollution, until today someone said it could be this:The problem you seem to get is about either an antivirus-problem or it could be the firewall. You are using a cleaner app that gives important files as a duplicate and erases them.They gave me two sollutions:1. You van try to reinstall the EA app and run the antivirus. Before that I have to restart the system. So if the file gets blocked it gets deleted.2. If the problem stays you have to

  3. Volume Mute Light won´t change color

    I can´t find anything that addresses my actual problem.I have seen that others have also experienced this problem but I have not found a solution that works. My ProBook was originally Win 7 pro, updated to Win 10 pro but HP won´t update because of its age (for me, brand new-just bought it a few days ago) so I don´t really know what to do. Sure, just a minor glitch but a very irritating one (that orange is just way too bright!) that should be a snap to fix (or not-I don´t know, I think my 4 year old granddaughter has better computer skills than I do!) English is not the default language so many of the commands must be translated-just another hassel to deal with. I finally found the systemconfig. box. Selective start and discovered that ALL the service boxes are checked. Good, bad, doesn´t make a difference: I just don´t know.

    Volume Mute Light won´t change color

    For my model only up to win7 is listed and HP says that it does not provide win 10 upgrades for a laptop my age. Don´t know how to open or use msconfig-my computer skills are very selective and all in all very poor.
