I have a sansa clip mp3 which keeps all my music on it. I don't want to put the music onto my computer hard drive because I don't want to USE up the space. So when I listen to music whilst I'm on my laptop I plug in the mp3 player via usb and play the songs through windows media player.

This works but not how I would like it to.

If I open up windows media player with the device connected, I can view the device is connected on the left hand pane where it says Library, music, videos, pictures it also says Sansa clip. I can click on the device and it opens up and I can browse through the music as if it was an ordinary library on wmp but I can't play any of the songs. I can see the songs but when I click to play them, nothing happens.

Up until know, I've been opening the mp3 USING autoplay and play using windows media player. In this case I get all the songs in the right pane under the play tab of the play/burn/sync categories and I can browse the songs under this playlist but this is not ideal for searching songs. I want the songs to be playable in the main middle pane.

I hope I have been CLEAR.
Thanks.After years of using Windows, I have given up on Windows Media Player.
My choice is classic WINAMP. Free, and it asks if you want to do the library. Just say no. You can play all the songs on your MP3 player with WinAmp.

Do not buy anything. Do not use the add-ons. Ignore the free other stuff. Just download the free WinAmp player. Works good .

. I want the songs to be playable in the main middle pane.

So I've never posted on here before, but my dad has spoke highly of these forums so I thought I'd toss an interesting problem at you. First of all my computer info as detailed as I can get is as followed:

I'm running Windows 7 Professional with files on two 74.5gb WD Raptor drives, but the boot sector is actually on a 500gb Toshiba drive. I'm using an ASUS Striker II Extreme motherboard with an e8400+ core 2 duo processor and 8gb of ram (so yes, it's 64-bit windows). I assume the video card and the power supply etc aren't going to be useful, but they're sufficient. I run RAID0 between the Raptors through the BIOS for a quicker gaming drive to put the more speed intensive data on, while storing the more general stuff on the larger 500gb spindisk.

The problem: Ever since I got Windows 7 64-bit installed on the Raptors there have been space problems. It seems like Windows is really confused and treats it more like a RAID1 configuration, but yet says that I've got 138.5gb instead of 74.5gb. It's hard to explain, but the more information I get on the drive, the more information is "HIDDEN" from me. I can go into my folder settings and set to show everything including things like the virtual memory file and hibernation etc, but selecting everything on the Raptors will only show 74.5gb of data, yet when i right click on it and go to properties it shows that almost the full 138.5 has been used. It wasn't such a problem until I ran into the space limitation, now I'm looking to cash in my other 74.5gb.

Can anyone explain to me why Windows seems to be confusing the size of my RAID configuration? Everything before windows seems to be set up correct, and it SEEMS correct until looking closely. When I go to disk manager under Windows there's only one drive listed for the RAIDs, so it seems to be keeping windows in the dark about there even being a RAID, which is what I prefer, but for some reason all of these problems are emerging. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any leads!Quote

Thanks Alan, But I use Orignal CD of Acer Laptop and it WORKS FINE in other computer, also I TRIED other several CDs which works in other types of compuer, but in this machine oh my god.No need for a duplicate post...

Topic Closed.

Just like the ad says "you got this nice camcorder but you find out you can't send anything over 25mb." Can you zip it and send that way? and if so I don't see how to zip a file. I see there are several programs for sending large files but they want money. I'm using Win 7. Thx!Sending large files can be done for free with file hosting sites such as http://www.sendspace.com.


You can also use HFS(HttpFileServer) to use your computer to share files, so when you give your friends the link, they will be downloading the file straight off your hard drive.
http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/
How large is the file you are trying to send? zipping a file will not make large size decreases...zip compression on vid files will not make them MUCH smaller...
Use a hosting site as suggested above...or there are file-splitter apps...but both people would have to have them installed.You can use zip or rar archivers to make split archives where each portion can be less than a size limit. They can be sent one at a time and the file extracted once they have all arrived.


The problem in trying to zip a video file is that most are already compressed (unless it is in RAW format) so you are trying to compressed an already compressed file.Quote from: rthompson80819 on October 10, 2011, 03:19:24 PM

You are missing the point.

The OP wanted to zip video files.

you find out you can't send anything over 25mb." Can you zip it and send that way?

Disable ALL of them, unless you use norton AV
If you use norton AV, then leave the symantec + norton ones.

I use yahoo for searches. Also disable realplayer? How would I be able to save and watch videos?

So if I disable yahoo toolbar and yahoo toolbar helper, I can still use yahoo for a search engine?

Also, enable all the other add-ons like Symantec and Norton because I use Norton. RealPlayer is ok though? I dont have to disable that, right?

Yes, you could make Yahoo your default search engine. Here's a reference on how to make such a change: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-set-google-as-default-search-engine-in-internet-explorer-9/ The reference talks about changing to Google, so just substitute Yahoo for Google in your case.
I may just do that. Actually it says disable the toolbar not yahoo search engine in general. I should have realized that.

Do need RealPlayer? I've lived without it for a few years now. I rarely encounter a website with content requiring RealPlayer.
b]Well RealPlayer makes me able to download and play videos. I KIND of need it and Im not sure how to install Windows Media Player. [/b]

Hi all, really hoping you guys can shine some light and lead me out of this dark tunnel.
Basically I cannot get my desktop to connect to internet using WIRED connection.
Here are specifics and steps I have already taken. (Apologize now for LENGTH but been trying for a WHILE now)

Specs:
Intel Core 2 duo
Asus P5n-E SLI mother board
4GB Ram
80GB SATA HD
Windows 7 Home Premium
NiC Card Realteck TRL8139

Problem:
A few weeks ago could go on line no problem, then a day later couldn't connect. (got no connectivity warning)
Figured it might have been an update that caused an issue, but first I reset modem (Verizon FIOS) and switched Cat5 cables and ports, no avail.
Tried a system restore... no good
Tried installing new drivers for NiC card... no good
Disabled NiC card (as it was onboard MB) and installed a new PCI one.. also no good
Tried ipconfig /release /renew received error, I did not have a valid IP address
Finally decided to just wipe computer since I wanted to go to 64bit Win7 anyways hoping a new install would help.
Got new OS loaded. Still no connection
I tried a static IP,... no good
I unchecked the TCP/IV6 protocol (since I read on another forum that had been causing problems)
I reset the TCP/IPv4 back to automatic
I reset the WINSOCK and TCP/IP stack and still no connection
I do however now have a IP address, but still cannot connect to internet.

Any help or suggestions would be great, as I am on the verge of shooting this thing with a sh** gun

Thanks all
Hi I'll try and help here.

For one thing, you always have an IP address no matter what. .

For second, is there a reason why your warning is saying (no connectivity)?


Also try this:

1. try resetting the modem, disconnect the cables, let it sit for 2 mins, then retry. Tried unplugging everything. Even took it from my dads to my house (both of us have fios.
And when I hit ipconfig it didn't show anything for an ip address. Now it does after doing all the THINGS I've listed. no connection warning was down on task bar, and when I open the network sharing center it shows and says no connection.
Did I answer question or just made more confusion? Anything you want me to try our specs want me to post I will.
Thank you very much for taking time
Dear All Here solution of this error.
BROADBAND connection uses dialer to connect to the Internet. This dialer uses Authentication when connection, either by post paid or prepaid. You need username and password when connection using Windows 7. Good thing about Windows 7, it has it's own driver to detect broadband modem when it's plugged in.
When connecting to the Internet and an error 651 pop-up, then there is something wrong with the network. The driver for RAS PPOE file "rasppoe.sys" located on c:\windowssystem32drivers folder is the cause of the problem.

First of all sorry for my English I'm not an English native speaker but I will give it try to explain myself. Second Thanks for this forum and Third I hope you can help me...
Problem: for about a month my laptop started to get slow by watching videos on-line (like in youtube)
I also use lovefilm (paid movie website to order DVDs an also watch on-line movies) that was not a problem before but now I can't watch anything
I used to use grooveshark also without any problem but to this point it also takes a lot of time to hear music on-line
Then I realize to open websites was also slower than what it used to be and now it seems my computer is also slowing.
I open the Program files an realize I had something I didn't install (I know I should have written the name but did not, sorry for that) and search a bit it was a malware and people in other forums recommended to remove it with antimalware free tool (which is also already uninstall and no I was to silly and don't have the name). But my laptop keeps running slowly and slower. I got to the internet options a erased all the cache content, that didn't help.
Second Problem is I have no antivirus. I used to have norton but that expired since a good while. I would like to buy the new norton but not really know if that is gonna Help or make it worse, I used to like norton and would like to use again but if you really think it is not good enough I guess I will have to think about it.
I am not very good at technology, I I live in Germany (Laptop is all in German) and my native language is Spanish and hope you help me or say me I should be CALLING a professional and pay for it.
I already thank you.

Here some facts about my laptop:
Windows - Edition
Windows 7 Home Premium
Copyright 2009 Microsoft Corporation
Service PACK 1

System:
Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard
Model: Presario CQ56 Notebook PC
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II P320 Dual-Core Processor 2.10GHz.
RAM: 4,00GB (3,47 GB useable)
Systemtype: 64 Bit Operating System
Harddrives: (2): Local Storage (C:) 160 GB free of 215 GB; Recovery (D:) 2,43 GB free of 16,8 GB

I have not any P2P program but before I started using lovefilm watched movies on-line in different sites (but do not used it since 10 months I believe and also not on a regular basis) and my boyfriend used watch the "Bundesliga" on-line on those sites where a lot of poker advertisements is shown but also not on any regular basis I can count with my two hands still.
Sorry if I write too much...
In hope we can solve this,

!st thing you should do is get an anti-virus app on there...
Avast and AVG are both free downloads...choose Avast.

Then update it and run a full scan...this may take some time since it's been awhile so be patient and do NOT interrupt the scan.
Let it fix all it finds and re-boot.

Next you need to DLoad and install Service Pack 3 for XP...this will also be time consuming so again be patient.
It may need to re-boot itself a few times...this is normal.

After all this is done run diskclean and defrag from the Syaty/Accessories/Tools menu...
Again be patient.

Let us know when this is completed how the system is now...hi thanxs for your answer
I will download de antivirus you said
But I don't have XP so I cannot download the SP 3
My notebooks has Windows 7 system and there is only the SP 1 which I already have.
What else can I do thanksSorry...i misread your Post...disregard the Service Pack ADVICE...but follow the other steps thru to conclusion and let us know...

patio.OK I downloaded the Avast Free Antivirus install it and made a full system scan, after one hour it said: Scan Complete No Threat Found, but the Internet is even slower than before so I will do the next steps and keep informed.
The only thing I didn't really understand was the defrag or what specifically do I have to do, but I guess it is going to take a while until I come there, Thanks!Start/Accessories/Syatem Tools/Defrag ...
And the same for Disk Cleanup.

In the meantime visit SpeedTest.net...it may be your connection.

At least you have an A/V app now...Sorry I didn't have much time yesterday to post. So I did Disk cleanup and free 355 MB and then did Defrag and yesterday the laptop was slow on the internet and on opening programs, BUT today is much better and I gave it a try to watch videos and movies and IT WORKS. And also did the speed test and everything was accordding to what I pay....Thanks a lot for your Help and your Time... should I change the antivirus or that's OK now? and should I do the Disk cleanup and defrag periodically in order to avoid that this problem HAPPENS again? Thanks a lot!That A/V is fine and will serve you well...
Run the checks reglarly depending on how often you use the PC...i defrag weekly but others may say thats overkill.

You may also want to add MBAM and SuperantiSpyware to your protection arsenal....both Free.

Good Luck down the road...

The use of registry cleaners will harm my PC?YesQuote from: Allan on September 16, 2011, 08:06:25 AM

Yes

WHY?

the same reason that drinking drano would harm your digestive system.

Whatever may be the situation these incorrect records accumulate inside the registry and they corrupt it. As a result computer slows down, shows errors, system alerts and even crashes. It also becomes evident that you've got problems with your registry when your computer boots slower than before.

I have Windows Vista which I have used with an HP 1210 psc. Recently it would not print and I cannot remove 1 document pending. It just says "deleting".
I have TRIED using another HP 1215 psc and it has the same problem.
Can you help please?
It sounds as if you may need to reinstall the printer driver. When you do so click "change my update preferences" on the window that pops up while trying to load the printer. When you do that, you will SEE options to change it to 'automatic', or to 'download only if'.

Set it to automatic, remove my failed INSTALL from the printer control SCREEN and replug it. It will take about 2-3 minutes but it will search and find a bunch more STUFF and install them. Printed a page to test it.

If you still have trouble go here for a more detailed explanation.

elken how are you tryimg to remove this document ? ? Do you mean to say when you attempt to use the printer it is still struggling with this doc ? ?

I am trying in vain to access my restore partition on the above machine. I have followed the mfrs directions explicitly first f2 then f9 etc. but when i get to the part were I am supposed to reinstall windows, my regular version just boots up instead.
Some background:
I am not sure of the HISTORY of this computer. It has Win 7 home premium on it and I see that on the store ads, it is listed with win7 starter. So does this mean that it was upgraded and did that goof something up to the recovery partition?
Also the boot booster does not show in the BIOS.
I would like to create a boot usb or something to save all the driver data and the OS in case of disaster,such as a complete HD crash, as the ASUS does not come with a recovery disc. Any ideas on how to do this without losing the upgraded OS?Image the entire drive with Macrium Reflect.Quote from: Computer_Commando on September 18, 2011, 01:17:34 PM

Image the entire drive with Macrium Reflect.
[/quote

Then what? what if it is already corrupted or infected? would I copy the hidden partition also? and could I restore it bare metal with a brand new hard drive installed? Remember, I have no DVD on this commputer, It is a netbook.

...From what I read, there is a hidden place on the HD that the bios reads to help Win7 to load faster which is a bios controlled function. ...

...I have no disc for the Home Premium but it DOES show it is registered and legit...

Hello, can somebody please tell me how to rename a sheet in an EXCEL workbook. Are there MANY ways to rename them , what are they? THANK youhttp://www.ehow.com/how_11798_rename-excel-worksheet.html
This MIGHT help.Double-click the sheet name (at the bottom).Anyone smell homework or is it just me?Yes. SOUND like a homework question to me.
The clue is how the question is worded, i.e. "...Are there many ways to rename them , what are they?..."
Sounds like an instructor's, not a user's question.

I have a dell inspiron running windows 7. I have it connected to an external monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse. What I want to change is the fact that when I don't use the laptop for a short while the external screen turns off. I know I can change this setting in power management but I want the DISPLAY to stay on when it is showing on the external monitor but have it TURN off after a short while when I am using the laptops own screen.

So basically I don't want the display to turn off when the display is on the external monitor, but when I am using the laptops own display, without an external monitor then the display can turn off to save battery. Is this possible?

Thanks.You will need to adjust the time of turning display off whenever you switch display from your Power options. When on external, the option for turn off the display(on battery and plugged in) should be Never. While on the laptop screen is specify the time to turn off display and then save changes. In short, there is only one setting for both and then changing that option manually when switching display.Thanks for your help. I was hoping there would be some sort of automatic solution, where the laptop KNOWS that there is an external monitor connected and it stays on. But thank you.If you only use the external monitor at times when the laptop is on AC power, you could specify that there is no screen BLANKING when on AC power, and your previous blanking setting when on battery power.

hi,
I have an HP pavilion a6040n. It has Vista. This morning it worked fine, I left it on for a few hours. When I came back it was frozen. The mouse arrow would not move. Tried CTRL/ALT/DEL and nothing happened so I shut it down with the power BUTTON. When I tried to turn it back on it keeps getting stuck on the very first screen which is black and lists the video card info (I think) it says VERTO GEforce...etc. Nothing I do will start it.

I tried running my RECOVERY disc and my "bootable system HARDWARE disc" but nothing. I think it is that windows will not start right? What can I do?

THANKS for any ideas
MicheleClear the CMOS - Small silver battery inside on the MOBO, remove it for a min or so. Then replace and turn on the machine. Any difference?I took out and replaced the only thing that resembled a battery and then when I turned it on it went to blue HP screen and system recovery was at the bottom=f11 so I pressed that and now it is running some kind of test. OK it finished...and it passed
after the test it ASKED for the recovery disc and it restarted, it says "windows is loading files" FIXED!! Do you know what happened in the first place?
thank you so much!Just a slight problem in the BIOS, I get it with my old Sony VAIO all the time.

Can someone give me suggestions of how to regain control and removing this individual from my account? All help is greatly appreciated.

Wow! I never thought that physical security to your computer could cause so much damage. Someone could change my Yahoo password and that's it, I no longer have access. I can always talk to my bank if there are problems online but with email service, or free email service, that's it. They only know a few facts about you and no really personal identifiable info. ...or that anyone can get paying some money for online.

Not sure why your chiming in with this ...do you have a security issue ? ?
If so start a new Topic.

Hey all, new guy here.

I have a four year old machine that I built. Originally had XP sp3 but I obtained a Vista Business x86 SP1 disc from work (Dell OEM disc that came with a new computer, we still use XP at work). Replaced XP with Vista ~ eight months to 1 year ago, no problems. However, earlier this week Vista suddenly wouldn't boot up (guessing because my son has recently discovered that you can download crap from the internet), so I wanted to do a clean install.

I downloaded Ubuntu 11.04 to use as a live cd to transfer some files out of my Windows partition, which went well. I booted Vista from the CD, re-formatted the partition, and installed. Something appeared to go wrong with the install as afterwards Vista would boot from my HDD showing the splashscreen and then hang on a dark screen. I tried to reinstall, but now I get a "press any key to boot from cd" and I mash my keyboard without any response, and it continues to boot the inoperative Vista on HDD. I should note that when I have booted from discs in the past, it hasn't prompted me to "push any key...", it will just auto-boot from that device. I have a USB keyboard but I have it attached to a PS2 adaptor and I've tried it both as a USB and PS2 device. I set my boot sequence to either of my DVD drives, disabling all other devices, and that doesn't help. I unplugged my HDD and it just errors looking for Windows startup after going through the same procedure. I have thrown in the old XP disc and a ACER OEM Windows 7 disc that came with my older kid's laptop, still the same. I inserted the motherboard utility disc and it recognizes that it is a different disc ("press any key to boot Xpressrecovery tools" or something similar) but the result is the same. Finally, I threw in the Ubuntu disc and...it boots Ubuntu without a prompt to press any key?!?

I used Ubuntu again as a live cd to reformat the partion that I want to install Vista, hoping that would delete whatever's causing my problem (bad MBR?), but it's still the same when I try to boot from the Vista or other Windows discs. I've reached my knowledge limit, can anyone OFFER me some advise?

Thx in advance. If the machine is not the Dell from the CD it ain't gonna work...it'll be blocked.

You can borrow any MS CD to re-install as long as you have a valid activation # to facilitate an install...as long as the versions match.It already worked when I originally installed it ~ 1 yr ago. I do have the activation # from the computer it came from as my work reinstalls their own build of XP on our work machines, therefore the activation code is not used.

Whether it would work or not, it should still boot from CD, which is my problem.Using a Vista OEM disk from your employer (and as far as I can see, an OEM activation code) to install Vista on a home computer owned by you would be a clear breach of the OEM licence under which your employer obtained the Vista disk which is tied (legally if not digitally) to one workstation at your employer's premises. OEM disks are only sold and licensed to accompany a piece of hardware (in this case, a Dell PC.) Using Acer OEM install disks likewise. You can call this nit-picking if you like, but in regard to breaching license terms and EULAs, we pick nits. Therefore, I feel our advice must be "pay for a valid license".

You may be wrongly blaming your son. I suspect a hardware failure - CD/DVD-ROM drive, hard drive, or something on the motherboard. I would be interested to know if the boot order in the BIOS is set to boot first from the CD-ROM device.


OK, I obviously haven't expalined this clearly (and in reviewing my original post, I can see that I didn't). I bought the computer which the disc is tied from my work (when we do upgrades, we give employees the chance to buy our older machines). The OEM disk was still in plastic. I used the computer for parts to upgrade some aspects on my existing build and the remainder lies in my basement. As such, I owned the computer and the OEM disc. Sorry for the confusion.

How would a hardware failure allow BOOTING of a linux disc and nothing ELSE? As explained in my first post, boot order was set to the DVD drive (the actual manufacturer's name appears in the boot sequence) and second and third devices were disabled.Quote

How would a hardware failure allow booting of a linux disc and nothing else?

How would a hardware failure allow booting of a linux disc and nothing else?

It won't...as i stated the CD is probably not tied to the machine...even though you may think so.

I can imagine a gradually deteriorating read laser in the CD/DVD drive could be causing problems with some disks and not others, but you wrote "either of my DVD drives" - you get the same set of symptoms with each one? Do the problem disks work OK in another computer?

My Laptop wont start due to registry corruption. when I turn it on the loading bar comes up and then just before it comes up to the login screen it just stops and wont go any further and I can leave it for hours and still wont do anything. I have tried the system restore and it says that there is no restore points when I know for a fact there was restore points before I had this problem. I have tried a recovery disc and it says that a file is missing and wont continue. I have tried a full system restore and it still says that there is a file missing.


P.S. I am using windows vista

Please Help

Jmdutchy1) What do you mean it won't start due to registry corruption?

2) What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?

3) How did you try system restore?

4) How did you try a "full system restore"?when I mean it wont start due to registry corruption I get an error message that when I Google-ed it it said that it was a registry corruption preventing it from starting.

well I don't know what has changed as I just turned it off and the next day that I WENT to use it it just wouldn't start.

I started the computer then continuously tapped the F key that you press for system repair and then tried to restore it to a previous time and it said there was no restore points.

I then tried to restore using the same method as above but with the factory restore setting. What is the EXACT error message you get and when do you get it?0X80071126

and

0x7385764a

and also

0x80000003I don't know what those numbers are. I asked for the EXACT error MESSAGES ( COMPLETE MESSAGE ) and when you get it. I want to know if there are any FILES mentioned. 0X80071126 when I tried to factory reset my laptop also the error 0x7385764a came after I clicked ok

then the 0x80000003 when I tried the recovery discQuote

Yeah, I think I may need the new card. It was half a year old already when I BOUGHT the computer. Thanks for the help! If installing a new card does not solve the problem, I guess it PROBABLY will, but if for for some strange REASON it doesn't, I'll be BACK! Thanks again!The existing FAN card can be easily replaced if that is in fact the issue...take it to a PC store and match up the fan.

1) Im not sure if my printer is working. Is there anyway I know for sure if my printer is working. I do have to buy some ink. I havent used it in a while and Im not sure how it is after the eRecovery thing.


2) Somehow my Adobe Reader isnt working. I have Adobe Reader 7 and I know its out of date but I cant upgrade the Adobe Reader. Do you think its better if I just download the thing that I downloaded when my notepad wasnt working? I dont know the name off the top of my head.

3) Is there anyway I can get rid of my Acer Tool? Everytime I get on the computer, automatically, my Acer Tool pops up and its very annoying. I have to get a better description of what the Acer Tool is but its very annoying.

4) I think this is the question I wanted to ask and its a minor one. Is there anyway I can get my thumbnails back? Would I have to upgrade from IE 7, which I have now, to IE 9? Also, and this sounds like a broken record, if I do upgrade to IE 9, will I lose my browsing history?The first question I ASKED about the printer is fine. I got the ink and installed the printer USING the CD I got when I BOUGHT the printer. Quote from: Jack Catalano on October 15, 2011, 11:36:12 PM

2) Somehow my Adobe Reader isnt working. I have Adobe Reader 7 and I know its out of date but I cant upgrade the Adobe Reader. Do you think its better if I just download the thing that I downloaded when my notepad wasnt working? I dont know the name off the top of my head.

3) Is there anyway I can get rid of my Acer Tool?

4) I think this is the question I wanted to ask and its a minor one. Is there anyway I can get my thumbnails back? Would I have to upgrade from IE 7, which I have now, to IE 9? Also, and this sounds like a broken record, if I do upgrade to IE 9, will I lose my browsing history?

"... the thing ..."? How we supposed to know what you mean if you don't clearly explain what you're talking about.

Based on what you've said, I have no clue why you can't upgrade Adobe Reader. Again, we need clear explanations.

A good alternative to Adobe Reader is Foxit Reader.

"I have Adobe Reader 7 and I believe its out of date. I did have some trouble downloading the latest Adobe Reader. Thats why I was asking for an alternative to Adobe Reader. I had Foxit Reader before I lost all my information and just didnt remember what it was that I had before.

Have you looked for it in Programs and Features? If it's there, as it should be, then you can uninstall it.
Its called Acer Tool something but it automatically pops up when I log in to my computer. That never happened before in the 4 yrs. I've had this computer.
Again, some info seems to be missing. What's the thumbnails issue?
My thumbnails dont work and they should. I move my mouse near one of the webpages that Im on and theres no thumbnail. Will they work if I upgrade to IE 9?

If you upgrade, you will not lose your Favorites. I'm not sure about browsing history; I suspect you may lose it.

So I might lose the browsing history? If theres someway I can upgrade to IE 9 w/o losing the browsing history that would be good.

I GET this message numerous times daily. Thing is, it hasn't really stopped working and there's never been a solution offered. why is this message appearing and what can I do to stop it? Many thanks.Windows Error Reporting can be buggy, check the files that it sends?I had a problem updating a version of IE once and I would get the same message. And I eventually did get a solution from MS that worked. But it takes some time if I remember.If it's very technical, I'd be afraid to attempt. I did download IE9, but that was at least 3 months ago ~ and this just started in the last 2-3 weeks. Thanks, though.Try RESETTING Internet Explorer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737I haven't done it yet, but have bookmarked the page. Thanks much. The last time I had this problem occuring RECENTLY on my IE8 browser was not resolved by any Windows checking solution. However without any changes or reinstalling/resetting IE, the stop error did not appear as of this time. The PC was on the same time installing critical or recommended updates which were installed successfully and now fully patch. I was also making a weekly clearing of cache or junk files by using Ccleaner and scanning with an updated Superantispyware for tracking cookies. Frequently do I scan by MALWAREBYTES but I update it ANYWAY.

Thank you for having a LOOK at my problem today.

I have a friend (yeah I know, very unlikely isn't it) who's Lenovo "S10e" ideapad, notebook, was working fine for the past 2 years, however, now it comes up with "BOOTMGR" is missing?? and will not start at all.

I dont know much of the history, other than to say, I am told it that it has Windows Vista? or 7 as the O/S. Although LOOKING at the labels I think it may be XP.

His school tech said, the best thing to do with it, is to wipe it and start again.

The label on the front says it was designed for XP, and has an Intel sticker with "ATOM" on it also.
On the rear it has the Product key code for windows on the authenticity sticker.

It does not have a CD drive but has 2 USB ports available and an internet connection port.

The lad may have loaned it to someone else when it all went belly up, but I am uncertain as to how it all came about.

Is there something that can be done to fix this little computer and how might I be able to help him with this problem?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.Wipe it and start again? Not when you have important data on it...
Would it be possible to take the hard drive out, slave it to a desktop computer, and make a backup of the data first? This is a Vista/7 computer-this "BOOTMGR" error only occurs on Vista/7.
This is how to fix your error:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fixing-bootmgr-is-missing-error-while-trying-to-boot-windows-vista/
You can convert an ISO of a Windows Vista/7 install DVD to USB bootable format like this:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/installing-windows-7-on-a-netbook
http://www.techmixer.com/install-windows-vista-from-bootable-usb-flash-memory-drive/
It would be ideal if you could ascertain whether Vista or 7 is installed.Thank you for your reply Transfusion. I really don't want to do a lot on it.. Its not mine and I don't want to "accidentally destroy it".
I'll wipe it and put the O/S from the disk I was given,( it might be an XP disc, but hey, that's what I was given.) but also I don't think there is a lot of info on it that is wanted at this point. Just some games and so on. It is the end of the year, so no school work.

Just how might I go about finding this part out , it doesn't go past "boot manager is missing."

Is it in the F2 setup somewhere?

The recommended sites are much the same, Transfusion. They all assume that you can enter the computer and run it as normal and have the windows 7 CD or similar.

My laptop had been open to the internet and iTunes for a while. When I went to type a new website in the screen completely FROZE. Task manager wouldn't work, so I powered off. When I turned it back on, it scanned a disk and SAID it was OK after a while. So my laptop restarted and it seemed fine, but when I went to the internet, after a minute it would freeze. Again, nothing worked, my mouse froze, task manager wouldn't come up so I was forced to shut down. When I restarted it scanned disks again, but the same thing keeps happening.
I have windows vista, and internet explorer 7This sounds like a virus, maybe downloaded thru iTunes? Check your antivirus software, maybe it will find something.Usually when I have a virus, I start in safemode with networking, update malwarbytes and let it fix the problem. Now I can't start in safemode, it keeps stopping on crcdisk.sys
Any ideas?

Is that the ONLY thing you've tried ?? No Anti-virus scan, Malwarebytes in normal mode etc etc

Maybe you should start a new topic in the Virus section !!

Hello to everyone on the forum.

I have a windows vista computer that does not like me, lol. It is a insperon model, with an intel dual core processor. I am trying to reformat it while funning off of the boot cd, but when i type in the "Format c:" commad, it replies with "type the current volume lable". I am unsure of what this is, and what should i do to find this information??

Thank you in advance for your help. It wants the name of the drive. If you haven't assigned one, either just press enter or type c: again. But why are you doing it that way? I assume you have a Vista CD. Just boot to the Vista cd and select the option to format before installingThis is just what you see in Computer, such as Local Disk (C:) - the drive label is just "Local Disk"The format command ASKS for the volume label to make sure you really mean to format the volume.

Type DIR and press Enter. Look at the first line of the output. In this example, the volume label is Win07

Volume in drive C is Win07
Volume Serial Number is E4DB-A92A

Directory of C:\

01/05/2011 19:39 <DIR> $RECYCLE.BIN
01/05/2011 15:34 33,446 1920x1080-black.jpg
12/06/2011 14:44 57,368 1920x1080-grey1.jpg
29/04/2010 21:07 <DIR> ATI
06/02/2011 21:55 <DIR> AV

But what kind of boot disk are you using? If it's a DOS boot disk, you're only going to be able to use FAT.

You can ignore this post.

I have tried all, "c:" and "local disk". Both of these did not work for me.

And i am using the "Windows Vista Reinstall Disk" the one that says that it is for distribution with new pc and that software is alredy installed on computer.

I tried to just re-install the windows, but i feel that removing all previous contant will help it.

I like to create several custom taskbar toolbars by:

right clicking on the taskbar->toolbars->new toolbar...

After unchecking "Lock the taskbar" I want to move this toolbar to the left side of the taskbar next to the start BUTTON, however it seems ANYTIME I move a custom toolbar and lock the taskbar, it will not shrink all the way (a small portion of one of the links within the toolbar will show). I do USE the handles to shrink it down as small as possible.

This doesn't happen in WINDOWS XP, but Windows Vista and 7 seem to do this.

Any ADVICE would be appreciated.Looks like the only solution I can see as of this point is disabling the visual styles. This corrects the issue on Vista and 7. A bit annoying....

At one time I had a "TOOL" for changing magnification in the bottom right-hand corner of my screen, near the time/date. It's DISAPPEARED and I'd really like to have it back as I'm unable to see some of the smaller print on some websites. How to I retrieve this, please? Thank you. KDo you have Intel GRAPHICS Accelerator video driver? Best way I know to test is press Ctrl+Alt+F12 to pull up control panel. If yes, Start > Run and type "igfxtray.exe" to ACTIVATE the Intel Graphics Accelerator Tray Icon Service.Go to Start - All Programs - Accessories folder - Ease of Access folder - Then LOOK for Magnifier Icon. Right-click icon and choose Pin to Taskbar. Thank yall for your help. For some reason, the "zoom" icon reappeared on its own. Go figure, huh?

This is happening on two computers I use. An HP PRESARIO with VISTA IE9 and an HP laptop Win7 and IE8. I recently bought and INSTALLED the software for a Sony Handicam camcorder. I first NOTICED this last night when I couldn't attach any photo or other file but after trying several times it did attach two pictures but it was like not going smoothly-it attached one file and the other appeared differently. That is it showed one picture and the icon for the other picture. Now today it's back to nothing at all. I've successfully attached many photos in the past to emails. I'll try system restore and MALWAREBYTES. Any other advice? Thanks!

I have a DVDRW drive on my PC using WIN7 and Office 2007
I have a CDRW disk on which I had TEXT that I had deleted and erased the disk. Now, when I try to use it I get the message, “Windows can’t format this type of disk. Insert a DIFFERENT disk and try again. If I try to save MATERIAL to it, I get the same message. Everything else plays without a PROBLEM in this drive using the same type disks.
Thanks,

Your trying to format a CD RW disk ? ?
What app are you using ?

Hi there, I recently installed Win 7 on my PC. I USED to have XP. I have a HDD IDE, the one is running WIN7. I also I have a 2TB sata drive that I use as a slave. Before I installed Win 7. The Sata drive was working fine until I upgraded to Win 7. Now my HDD does no show on MY Computer screen. I have all my important information in that Hard Drive. When I go to the disk manager, it shows the drive, but it says unallocated. What can I do, how can I retrieve all the information. I have in the HDD. I do not want to lose all my data. Thanks!!

[REGAINING space - attachment deleted by admin]As a rule of thumb, I always unplug all unnecessary drives while installing an Operating System to avoid messing up.
1) Before we MAKE any unnecessary modifications to the drive, could you slave that drive to another computer to see if your data is retrievable?
2) Did you accidentally format the partition?
3) You could try http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Testdisk to recover partitions from a corrupted partition table.I did not format the drive.Okay, then have you tried the other options I listed above?

I have an EVEREX lap top that had the reboot problem ASSOCIATED with windows VISTA upgrade, "Upgrade 3-3% complete......". Well I f-10'd on reboot and got the command /NoExecute=Optin /? (something about resetting with a FULL restall to factory Windows) but I didn't write down the string and I got IMPATIENT and stopped it before it completed. Now I get a message "Windows cannot complete the installation. to continue installing Windows restart the computer." on restart it goes to the same message. When I try f-10 again the full string is not there, only the /NoExecute=Optin with a blinking curser. Can you tell me the rest of the string to write in to restart redoing the factory reinstallation?
Thanks RobertI doubt the installation would be completed properly if you forced it to quit... so I'd recommend booting to DVD and doing a repair install. I don't have the CD.
Robertthe "NoExecute=Optin/" is probably part of a bootloader entry which boots to the corrupt Windows Install.
How did you manage to upgrade to Vista without a DVD? Did you download the ISO directly from the Windows website? If you have the ISO you have to somehow get the file to a working computer, and then create a bootable USB flash drive from the ISO.the "NoExecute=Optin/" is probably part of a bootloader entry which boots to the corrupt Windows Install.


Your Right! That's why I Need the command that start's the reinstall.
I was given this computer because it was jamed up from the upgrade message "Upgrede 3 - 3% complete...." and it's continuous reboot cycle. That's what I was TRYING to fix when I messed up and stopped the reinstall. It may have an ISO but I have looked for hours and can't find it.

"NoExecute=Optin/"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff557134(VS.85).aspx


Optin and Optout seem to be modifiers only used in Windows XP and Server 2003. I'm afraid you are stuck in a quagmire-you don't have a functioning operating system, and you can't redo your Windows Vista upgrade because you simply do not have a bootloader entry for the Vista installation. Now you need to get the Vista installation media out of the hard drive onto a functioning computer-this is a laptop, which makes it all the more tedious...


Does your EVEREX computer have an OS recovery partition? How exactly did you upgrade Windows? What is the model of your laptop?Quote

"Upgrade 3-3% complete......"

Try this Microsoft link here and use Method 2 -> Method 2: Start the computer in safe mode, and then use the System Restore feature

I have an acer laptop with NVIDIA geforce 310M cuda 512 MB graphics. Often times the display starts to crumble and then returns to the original display. After that a message comes in that says "the display driver has stopped working and recovered". Does it mean the graphics card or chip is near to its end or failure?Have you tried updating to the latest drivers? I have SEEN a GT 550M laptop have similar issues with the OLDER 197.33 drivers. By "crumbling" do you mean that artifacts appear on the screen? If so, then that means your chip is failing. I have successfully fixed a failing MOBILITY Radeon HD 4350 on an Asus laptop by using a Panasonic 1200W hairdryer on full blast.

Hello,

On a fresh/new windows 7 install (home premium, 64 bit) I am unable to log in as a standard user. More accurately, as soon as I login, Welcome is displayed, followed immediatley by Logging Off.

When I switched the standard user to administrator, it worked fine. When I switched back, no luck . I also tried creating a new standard user, no luck either.

I am not new to registry editting; but this ARTICLE was no help : HTTP://support.microsoft.com/kb/929825/en-us
The KEYS were fine, they required no changing (they were already configured CORRECTLY and pointing towards userinit.exe).


I do not WANT to reinstall windows, since I already installed all the drivers and the programs I had on the previous system, as well as the user files. In addition, I already configured my SSD/HDD (OS on SSD, User files, Default install location, and User folders on HDD).


Anything have a solution for this? I REALLY dont want to reinstall again

Hey everybody, this is a general question about .bat files that has never come up before for me.

I have an encryption program set up at work that uses the .pgp encryption format. I open these by using a .bat file to de-encrypt them that has instructions and links to my encryption keys. I recently UPGRADED my workstation from an XP system to a Win7 system. I used to be able to double click the .pgp file and the dycryption program would run automatically (in fact there are still XP computers on the network that continue to work this way). On my windows 7 system this no longer works. I tried setting the association of .pgp files to the .bat file I use, but it will just not accept it as a default program for opening. I can still drag and drop the encrypted files into the .bat and it runs LIKE normal which indicates to me that the .bat is fine and working correctly. It's not a huge hassel but i just found it odd that i can no longer do it the old way. Could this just be a win7 quirk or am I not seeing something?

Thanks for any help!
Edgecrusher22Post the .bat file...ok here is the .bat I **** out the password for our system and mel and alice are just server names at this location. I don't see anything wrong and like I said it works fine if you drop the encrypted files into it. I just can't get it to associate with the incoming encrypted files for double-click opening purposes seems more like a windows issue rather than a .bat issue.

I TURN ON THE POWER AND IT SAYS REBOOT AND SELECT PROPER BOOT DEVICE OR INSERT BOOT MEDIA IN SELECTED BOOT DEVICE AND PRESS A KEY
WHAT DO I DO?
dont type in all capital letters for one.

and do you have a windows disk (if one did come with your computer??)Is there an OS installed on your hard drive? Can you boot from USB or DVD? Check all your connections.Did you recently make any CHANGES to your computer's hardware or software?

Did you make any changes in BIOS?

Does the hard drive show up in BIOS?I do not have a windows disk.....I don't know wat you mean by booting from usb or disk..please explain...I didn't change anything recently on my computer...and when that menu comes up in the bios yes there is a harddrive
anything I could try, please explain to me...very thankful for any help...Make SURE you have or make immediate backup of your files prior to the suggestion being given by members or EXPERTS in this forum. If you cannot access files or windows, connect the Hard drive by enclosure or adapter to another working machine. While on BIOS menu, look for Default settings - Save & Exit. If you have external devices attached or CDs, please removed them and reboot.

How many partitions(C:, D:, E: ....) do you have on the hard drive? Where is your operating system installed? Where program files folder is located, that is where your operating system is, and that is where windows updates should also be. Also post your free and used space by following my previous reply. Are you sure you have emptied your RECYCLE BIN?

hi ive been messing round with gparged to GIVE one drive more than the other and once it rebooted i get this error MESSAGE saying "boot0 : Done BOOTMRG is missing and if i try putting in my windows 7 disc back copy not proper one as i carnt find it and it shows up with the same message saying BOOTCD cannot find BOOTMRG help what do i do
From JayYou shouldn't be fooling around with that stuff. Try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392To fix BOOTMGR missing file problem open your antivirus software program and run a FULL scan on your computer.

When the scan is complete DELETE all quarantined and infected files.

Then insert the Windows 7 installation CD into your computer’s drive and restart the computer.

After the reboot open the command prompt and type fixboot.

Then press ‘y’ when a pop up box appears asking you for confirmation.

Then it will automatically solve the boot problem and you should be taken to your desktop.

Hello,

I sincerely apologize if this topic has already been discussed I did do a search and found nothing.

I am buying a new computer that has a dvd drive, and has MS Win 7 Home Prem. 64-bit edition.
My previous computer had MS Win XP Home Ed. 32-bit, with MS Office 2000, I made many backup files which
I have STORED on dvd and cd disks.

Will I need a 3rd party device or software to transfer these BACKED up files on-to my new system
from the disks. Or do you just PLACE the disks in the dvd drive and Win 7 does the rest, I don't
understand if there would be a conflict between WinXP 32-bit and Win 7 64-bit.

Thank you.

All 3 of these if triggered or scheduled in the background will interrupt the screensaver.Also, a drifting mouse cursor will do this. Since this is a desktop HP, without touching the mouse, look at the cursor and see if it's drifting slightly.You may also check power settings for something that says "Turn off BACKLIGHT" or "Turn off screen".

If it would be POSSIBLE to take the hard drive out, plug it into another working PC, save all of your data, that would be great.

I know it is not exactly a super high-tech fix, try pressing F2 rapidly as soon as you press the power button to turn it on, you may be able to access BIOS through that method. Failing that, try F8 for Windows 7 Boot options.

For some TIME now I have been unable to install many THINGS that require .NET framework to RUN as well as install Windows updates. I get error codes after the updates fail to install such as 66A, 64C, 6B2, 2, and 8024200D. When I try to install/remove windows or non windows programs I get an error (See error1.gif ATTACHMENT) I can't help but not get this error. I have done many things to try to fix this problem, like a SFC scan, chkdsk, ms fixit, and sys restore.

I have tried uninstalling .NET framwork with and without the dotnetfx cleanup tool but it does not work. How can I fix this without having to send it in for repair or having to backup/format/reinstall os?

Hi guys. By the grace of God, I restarted my pc and the GUARD ONLINE virus is not popping up at the moment.

I googled how to REMOVE it and did find a 'cure; but the instructions are so deep, I can not follow them.
