Add/Remove Hardware Window Won't Go Away

Got it to check for something, but it's been going for TWO HOURS!!! No "X", no button, nada.... my mom is not computer savvy and thinks that shutting down a computer will cause all of her stuff to go (becuase her "calculator does that"...oh boy) anyway to do this without giving my mom a heart attack?

Ctrl+alt+delete and go to the processes tab and shut down explorer.exe then go to the applications tab and press new task and start explorer.exe. the add/remove window should be gone. If not then you should tell your mom to cover her eyes while you restart :)

Hmm that is very interesting. Most likely the only solution is tor restart then. Show this document to your mom http://www.escotal.com/memory.html) and explain to her that anything she puts on the hard drive is there permanently (even if deleted) and that if you restart the computer her files will all still be there.

Rear passenger window goes down with the switch but won,t go up, also from the driver main panel the window won,t go down but will work on the up button

Sounds like you have issue with the push button controls for the window. I really don't think I had to say it. If you remove the door panels and check it out you may find, rust broke wires, bad connection some simple problems which need a better visual look. If a window goes down but not up. It should not be a fuse, relay or power issue unless the connection is a problem.

The 2003 Concorde my mom has won't start right away sometimes after it's turned off not because of anything mechanical but something with the security i was told. Any thoughts on how to turn t

Typically dealers are the only people who can work with the security systems on cars. If it is a factory security system, calling a dealer would be your best option. If it is aftermarket, call the company that installed it. If you have a mechanic you trust, you are free to ask them for advice, but typically mechanics will refer you to a dealer for security system issues.

My drivers side window won't stay on the track when I lower it. It.s NOT powered. Is there something inside that I can't see keeping me from getting this done?

are you talking about the window going crooked when lowering it if so then there is a clip that mounts to the side of the window that keeps it in the track so it won`t do this.they sometimes break and you can buy the part and install it just be careful when installing so the window won`t break.if its the track at the lower edge of the window this is a pressure/glue type fit and the track will need to be cleaned,pushed together a bit and use a window glue and install the window into the track and let it sit for a couple of hours before trying it.

How do I find a fuse diagram for a 2001 Toyota Celica the right front passenger window will not go up or down

Go to a local repair shop that has a Data Base
& have them print what you need

Check all fuses,don't need a diagram for that

If any window works,it won't be the fuse

If the fuse is blown,replacing it won't fix anything
It will blow again,

So,you will need to check switches first,then remove
the door panel to access the window motor or
window regulator.
