Solve : I accidentally deleted important files? |
|
Answer» A couple months ago I tried to free up some space and CLEAN up my computer. I deleted all the temp files etc., but I also went through and deleted a lot of programs that I didn't need, WANT, or use. Soon after i realized I could not play DVDs (I didn't even have a DVD icon in the my computer folder), I had no sound controlls or speaker button on the taskbar, I had no calculator, and I can't find any sound recorder. There may be other issues, but that is all I know of so far. A buddy took me through regedit and my DVD now works. I downloaded a new calculator, it works fine. deleted a lot of programs Just wondering what ''delete'' means - did you use ''add/remove'' thru control panel - or just delete stuff from Win explorer? Are you saying "volume control" is missing? That should not be affected normally by removing non Windows software or temp files. Just MHO but if doing a mass clean up - space freeing ... it is wise to do one at a time and reboot after each change. Then it is easier to spot if something is missing that shouldn't be.I hope you didn't go into C:\Program Files and delete anything....Borrow a Windows CD of the same version and SERVICE Packs you have installed...in other words if this is XP Pro with SP2 installed you need an XP Pro CD w/SP2. Go to Start/Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter... Have the CD handy it will ASK for it. When finished remove the CD and re-boot. NOTE: This will not work with your Dell CD...Try going through Device manager, right-clicking on your computer name and scanning for hardware changes. Sometimes the stuff may pop up and you should be able to try and re-install it, you may have to go download the drivers for some equipment. If that doesn't work, try restoring your system to an earlier time. It shoud break it down by time and what you did meaning when you started deleting things. Hopefully this shed a little bit of light on the situation. Good luckI don't doubt Patio's idea is the best. But it might be worth trying one of the free programs on the link below? http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.htmlSorry I have been away from the computer. I still haven't had a chance to do anything. But to answer a couple Q's I did go to control panel and use the add/remove programs feature. Another Q if I use system restore what, if anything, do I need to save or backup? Will this delete all the files I have saved since the restore point date? One of the threads spoke of- (Try going through Device manager, right-clicking on your computer name and scanning for hardware changes. Sometimes the stuff may pop up and you should be able to try and re-install it, you may have to go download the drivers for some equipment. ) If I do this and can find deleted material should I just reinstall everything? Thank you for the input. Tatorps When you say go through the device manager... How do I find the device manager. and do I need to do this if I didn't change any hardware? I only cleaned out software. TatorYou've deleted system files needed for Windows to operate correctly. If you follow the steps i outlined it will repair/replace those files. Until then i predict you will continue to have issues... P.S. Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager.if Add/remove programs was used- the sound driver may have been uninstalled from that LOCATION. How the DVD drive dissapeared... who knows. |

Solve : I would like to change to vista? |
|
Answer» Hello,I was thinking of MAKING the move to vista. What I would like to know is weather I should go 32 or 64 bit Hardware Information Depending on which flavor of Vista you decide on Home/Business/Ultimate etc. make sure to check out your options...i got Vista Ultimate that came with both 32 and 64 bit versions included...won't tell you what i paid for it however. http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx You can get Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 upgrade for $64.95 via above link if you have a .edu email address. It's a steal! Quote from: mcxeb52! on November 11, 2008, 12:32:54 PM That's Office Ultimate 2007, not Windows Vista Ultimate. Quote from: soybean on November 11, 2008, 12:46:30 PM Quote from: mcxeb52! on November 11, 2008, 12:32:54 PMThat's Office Ultimate 2007, not Windows Vista Ultimate. The main PRODUCT is Microsoft is offering at a steal is Microsoft office, as it's main page says BUT if you go to left menu and hover over "Additional Products", you see that Windows Ultimate Upgrade w/ SP1 for $64.95 is there. I believe you can still do full version install with the upgrade if you wanted by making a clean install |

Solve : partition magic error? |
|
Answer» I tried to use partition magic to merge 2 partitions on my windows PC, but every time I click the merge button, an error shows up: the first partition (C: system) requires 433250KB of data to be freed to PERFORM the merge. The weird thing is, I did delete some files and programs from the harddisk to FREE some space, but that seemed to even worsen the requirement.. It started at about 233000KB, which has increased to 433250 now :S. I guess I'm doing something WRONG, but I can't find out what's the problem. |

Answer» For example, cell C9, I will type "sally" and I WANT it to automatically appear under FEMALE on the right hand side (cell O9). nothing in c9. just a name "sally"How is he dissatisfied? What does he not like about the way your formula works? Quote from: CARBON Dudeoxide on August 07, 2009, 06:28:30 AM I believe you're going to want to make the names and gender a table and use the VLOOKUP command along with the IF statement. Thanks, I couldnt remember an had to learn that Quote from: soybean on August 07, 2009, 06:42:29 AM How is he dissatisfied? What does he not like about the way your formula works? because it doesn't work... Quote from: BC_Programmer on August 11, 2009, 07:55:33 PM because it doesn't work...She didn't say it doesn't work. She said she figured out a way but he was still not satisfied. Quote from: And 1 on August 05, 2009, 07:24:40 PM nothing in c9. just a name "sally"Knowing why he was not satisfied with it would help clarify the requirements. Hmm, looking at the requisites, that would satisfy them... (assuming the same is done for the "male" column. Additional information as to why it was not satisfactory would definitely help. You just need a VLOOKUP statement: If the names you have are in A1:B3 A B 1 James 2 John 3 Sally and you type in D1 eg James Target cell say F1 needs =VLOOKUP(D1,A1:B3,2,FALSE) D1 is the source A1:B3 is the table of names 2 is the column to look into A1:B3 FALSE says look at exact matches only. Hope this helps |

Solve : MS Publisher crashes on Save -Help!? |
|
Answer» Hello - I'm new to the forum, and looking for help with MS Publisher. Each time I try to save, Pub crashes. I had installed the update, then I tried a clean install, saw somewhere that too many fonts on one's computer could be the problem, so I deleted hundreds of fonts (what a waste of time, that didn't work either). Did not have the Office SP2, so I installed it, then all Office updates, no help there. I have been combing the web for a solution to this problem, and have found nothing as yet. Does anyone else have an idea for a solution? I really need this program to work!!!!! Do you have both versions installed on the same computer? Are both versions of Publisher part of the full MS Office package?Hello - Thanks for responding, sorry about the lack of info- OS - XP SP2 Anti virus - AVG SP2 for Office & Pub security updates - installed as an attempt to fix the problem - didn't work Had 2003, worked then, upgraded to 2007 Didn't use it for a year (Publisher), when I did attempt to use it, the problem presented - Word works perfectly Tried a clean install, after removing the upgrade version Tried a clean install of 2003 after removing the 2007 clean install - 2003 has the same problem Disabled AVG Removed hundreds of fonts (including some I needed, by accident... i.e Nokie Brush HMK which I cannot find online Have no idea what/how many programs I have loaded in the past year... Have NOT tried Safe Mode - Don't know how Thanks, Debi Where do you stand now? What version of Office is installed? Is your Office 2007 CD an upgrade version? If so, how did you do a clean install of Office 2007?I am in the same boat. Used a friend's full V of 2007, which is what's on the computer now. OK, so you current installation is illegal, since you are not the owner of it. I would remove it. Then, I would download and run CCleaner. To get it, go to http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds and get the Slim version, which is the last version listed there. Athough you will see a solictation for a donation to CCleaner, it is not required. After installing CCleaner, run it's Windows scan and delete all the items found. Then, run it's Registry scan. After the scan finishes, click the Fix button. When CCleaner asks whether you want to backup the registry before proceeding, do so. Then, proceed with FIXING all items. Repeat the Registry scan, since it may find additional items UPON a second, and even a third, scan. You do not need to repeat the registry backup at this time. However, if you use CCleaner in the FUTURE, then do a registry backup again during any session in which you use the Registry scan. Now, install Office 2007 from your CD, not your friends, so that it's legal. To do a clean install of Office 2007, you may able to start the installation without having first installed Office 2003 and see whether Office 2007 stops when it has searched for an older version of Office but found none. I believe it may, at that point (without canceling the installation window), allow you to remove the Office 2007 CD and install your Office 2003 CD just so that Office 2007 can verify you are a qualified owner of an upgrade version of Office 2007. At least, this procedure for a clean installation from an upgrade CD worked with certain versions of Windows and older versions of Office. If it does not work with Office 2007, then you'll need install your Office 2003, then install the upgrade to Office 2007. I can't guarantee this will solve the problem but it is a step I would take to try to resolve this.Thank you, soybean, but this did not solve the problem. Do you have any other ideas? Thanks so much.Sorry, I'm out of ideas. Anyone else?Just a reach here... But what is the capacity and the amount of free space on your drive ? ? Where are you saving the files to ? ?I am saving to the C drive, 225 gig capacity - 100 gigs free. I lost my Nokie Brush HMK font in this mess, and was amazed to discover I can't find it online - I used it on my website. Anyone have any idea where I can go to get that back? LOL Thanks, patio. |

Solve : 1394 connection no longer detects my external hard drive? |
|
Answer» I ASSUME this is a software problem and not a hardware. I have a Sony Vaio with Vista that's been updated. I have a Maxtor Plus 4 external HD that used to connect through the firewire and all of a sudden the computer stopped detecting the HD. It will connect through the USB THOUGH. The hard drive has two 1394 CONNECTIONS and I've tried both. The computer only has one connection. It's been a while since it stopped WORKING so I don't REMEMBER all the details about what was going on with the computer but it wasn't too long after I had a virus, I think the HD did work after I got rid of the virus but I'm not certain. Any help would be appreciated. ThanksDoes the firewire need drivers? Are they currently installed? Are you familiar with Device Manager under the System tab in Control Panel? What is the status of your firewire connection in Device Manager? (This assumes you run a version of Windows. "Firewire" started on the Apple side of the fence.)I have windows vista. The firewire and drivers came with the computer and are current. The device manager shows that it's working correctly. Should I uninstall and reinstall the driver for it?Should this go in another forum? Quote from: oneminuteofclarity on August 10, 2009, 07:07:47 PM Should this go in another forum?

Solve : Alright So...? |
|
Answer» People may have SEEN i recently had a huge discussion trying to figure out how to fix something on my computer and that got fixed....but obviously theres another problem. I've had my video card for approximetly 3 years. It's a Nvidia Geforce 7300GT. It worked great for a LONG time. But suddenly out of no my computer started acting weird with SCREEN distortion, off colour, and screen flickering. I figured out that when my video card wasn't installed the computer worked fine but as soon as i reinstalled it the problem started it up again. My computer only WORKS now when i have it on for maybe half an hour then turn it off right from the tower and back on then it seems to be alright until i turn it off and leave for a while then i have to repeat the process. So im thinking my video card might just be fried but can someone tell me if im right or help me out if im not please? I don't really see how anybody can tell you ABSOLUTELY, for certain, that your video card is fried and that you need to get another one, because we'd need to actually be there at your house and have a spare video card to swap it with. However, for what it's worth, it sure sounds to me like it's defective. Its sounds like it is overheating. I suppose you have done the usual things such as checking that the fan is turning and not clogged up with dust? |

Solve : Recently purchased a netbook,? |
|
Answer» Wanted to ask, im trying to add some language packs to my NETBOOK and it asks for my windows xp CD, i got one with the netbook the only problem is that there is no cd drive on it... tried to share my main pc's cd drive with the netbook but it doesnt give me acces to it... any suggestions? netbookQuote from: Geek-9pm on August 06, 2009, 06:32:01 PM More information please.its a msi u123 wind netbook, 10.1 inch screen i dont think it has room for a cd drive it has windows xp installed because it cant carry more than 2 gigs of ram there is an office 2007 trial version installed and it keeps asking me for a 25 digit serial number, all i have is the windows cd serial im guessing it is suitable since i already saw couple of netbooks using hebrew mostly need it for word yeaContact the vendor for the Office key...or it should have a sticker on the machine itself or in your documentation. Or you could simply install OPEN Office...Free.That serial key Office asks for is in case you purchase the serial key. You currently have the Office '07 60-day trial installed. It comes with most modern computers. You can skip it to use Office free for 60 days.thanks for the replys =] thought so, open office it is than =] what about the lang pack? is there anyway to use my other unit's cd drive for my netbook? or maybe download it from somewhere?You can use an external CDRom drive...found it after googling up for a while =] apperantly it was on c->windows->I386 (file name _c_10021 something) anyways sorry to bother you and thanks for your time EVERYONE =]No problem at all, come back any time at all. |

Solve : Cant re-install Printer software after problem? |
|
Answer» Hi I have a Fujitsu Siemens laptop & a Canon PixmaMP160 printer. I have USED some compatible ink cartridges that I have topped up using a syringe. Recently I had a problem printing or TRYING to scan items & a message CODE came up. I decided to uninstall the software, when I tried to reinstall the software (OE item that came with the printer), the CD spins & says its installing but although it says the installation is COMPLETE, when I go to control panel it's not installed. I have tried a restart since installing the software but that doesn't make any difference, can someone please help. Thanks Disconnect the printer while installing the software if it's a USB connection.Do as Patio SUGGESTS. Used to be you would install the hardware first, then the software. Now it 's backwards. Uninstall the software, disconnect the printer, reinstall the software. It will tell you when to connect the printer. |

Solve : Picture saved is stretched? |

Answer» I DIDNT say that, I SAID its resized CAUSE everyone see's the image differntly so its sized on the site so it can be viewed fine by everone.For the last TIME, the image is NOT on a website. It is on Malaizai's computer. On his computer, the image is distorted. On other computers, it is fine. ah, would spyware do this? I had the intention that he was getting it from some site, sorry.I think 'malware' would be a better term. It is possible. Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on August 05, 2009, 01:15:41 AM I think 'malware' would be a better term. It is possible....but would be a fairly strange, useless virus.Thx... i try chk it up with anti-malware software. |
