Good news everyone!
True Image by Acronis is now COMPATIBLE with Windows 7!
Not shure if I need true image or not... Have anyone ALREADY tried to USE it or any other backup software whith win7?I've been an Acronis True Image fan for years....

A couple of months a go i bought a Compaq CQ70 it's a very capable machine for what i need but with a 17" screen a little too big!

So i'm THINKING of buying a little netbook, i understand that they're to SMALL to run VISTA but will they run Windows 7. Should i wait till i can buy a netbook pre-loaded with windows 7? Is it that different to xp? I'd appreciate any advice.

 Thanks.The Win7 OS has ACTUALLY been built for netbooks along with being a full featured OS for desktop machines...
I think you would be making a solid choice...

Which model are you leaning towards ? ?Thanks Patio, as i usually only use the laptop to entertain me when working away from home i want to keep the budget small!

I was thinking about the ASUS Eee 1005HA which is currently offered with XP. Although i'll look at a few machines yet before i decide.Let me know because there are a few better netbooks out there...

My KEYBOARD has a key that has 3 icons on it...one icon above one below and one to the RIGHT. I can press shift for the icon above but how do I access the icon to the right on that key.If you're thinking of the key to the left of 1, the third character can be ACCESSED by holding down Alt Gr (the key to the right of the space bar).  If this is on a laptop, that Alt Gr may be absent.

sir
what should be the page file size for a healty running of system.
is it RELATED to size of ram INSTALLED or the HDD CAPACITY?

regards..

namsleave it alone. "System Managed" is just fine.Agreed.

you tube videos just stop playing? Any ideas? try reinstalling adobe flashDo they stop with a BUFFERING CIRCLE in the middle of the screen? As in they play then the screen freezes and a small circle starts to animate in the centre.

try reinstalling adobe flash

Actually, installing the latest version of Flash is a good idea.

Hi, I'm trying to play Fallout New VEGAS, and when trying to launch it (from Steam), it comes up with a dialogue saying "Performing first time setup... Installing: Microsoft VC Redist Package (step 1 of 1). Then windows installer pops up saying:

"The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other REMOVABLE disk that is not available. Insert the 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17 disk and CLICK OK.

The same dialogue pops up when trying to repair or uninstall Visual C++ from an installer. I'm running Windows Home Premium 64 bit.

Any ideas what's causing this? I've posted on other forums and haven't received an answer that works yet!

Thanks for reading

I have a desktop with windows 7. My xbox 360, playstation 3, and my iPod touch can use the wireless just fine. But 2 weeks ago my computer decided it was not going to connect. When I go into the network settings it says everything is working and that I'm connected. But when I try to launch google chrome it says it crashed and cannot connect. Online games won't connect to servers. I can't even get an update for norton 360. Iv scanned several times and I don't have any viruses. I need this fixed to finish an online class for high school. I'm 2 weeks behind. I'm usually good with computers but I could not get this to work. Plz help me!Forgot to add computer specs.  I'm running the professional version of 7,  4 gigs of ram. I use a 1.5 TB hard drive. it was built from purchased parts from newegg.comPlease download MiniToolBox and run it.

hey guys, im having a problem...
im getting automatic restarts and freezes (no blue screen!), when...im not sure when...mostly when im watching something over stream or windows media player, when im leaving the computer alone (downloading something overnight) or when im installing something what is taking long (games).
I guess i have no virus/malware or anything...i had, but i removed them. I thought they were the troublemakers and at first i used avira, spybot and windows firewall...then i switched to eset smart security and now im with bitdefender and windows firewall again...no matches of any virus or maleware so far.
I also have the latest graphicdrivers (http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-64bit), but i didnt download any motherboard or sound drivers, because i red that windows 7 is downloading them automatically (my driverdisk is not working anyway, because it says: not compatible with os).

Sadly i couldnt post a minidumpfile, because I have no idea where my minidump folder is (it should be in C:\Windows\%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP right? i have no %SystemRoot% lol)...advice for finding it would be nice

But at least the event viewer is giving me some information:
there are always three kinds of errors in i a specific order and frequency (i can post the XML-View too if u like)

The Peer Name Resolution Protocol service terminated with the following error:
%%-2140993535
The Peer Networking Grouping service depends on the Peer Name Resolution Protocol service which failed to start because of the following error:
%%-2140993535
The Peer Name Resolution Protocol cloud did not start because the creation of the default identity failed with error code: 0x80630801.

my pc is around a month old and im having the problem since then (build it together on my own).
mostly i use him for playing games, i can play the newest games (battlefield bad COMPANY 2) on highest settings all day long without having an issue, but when it comes down to the things said above its like im having a 10 year old machine

im so hoping you guys can help and understand (im german) me

thanks in advancesolved it by myself i think, i had to delete the file idstore.sst

its located in:

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming

you have to turn on the locate hidden files and folders to get there, just type hidden in Start->Search and you will get the OPTION to turn it onYou rock man! I was having the same problem. I'm a Linux guru but terrible with Windows.

I have W7 and LIVEMAIL. Suddenly, though I can receive email I cannot send it. I have tried Restore point and I have deleted Livemail and RESTORED it but it still won't send. Any ideas gratefully receivedLive MAIL as in the online version or accessed VIA an email client?
I assume you are accessing it via an email client-if so have not configured the SMTP settings properly or your ISP might be BLOCKING port 25.There is one thing that nobody ever thinks about, with either Outlook Express 6, Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail.

That is, that every email folder has to load into RAM memory in order to open.  If a folder gets too large to fit into ram, like the Sent Items folder, a failure to function will occur.
I had one customer who could receive mail but not send mail.  I had set up her email client myself so I knew it was done right and worked perfect when it was set up.
But one day she could not send mail.  Her ISP tech support was no help at all, so she called me.
To make the story shorter, I found that her "Sent Items" folder had never been cleaned out in several years.  It was so large that it could not be loaded into her available RAM.
I emptied that folder and everything was working again.
Now she knows, to empty her sent items folder as well as her Deleted Items folder on a regular schedule.

Also, sometimes an ISP will change things like email ports, without notifying their customers.

First, check with the email provider to make sure all port settings, etc., are set properly.

Good Luck,

Hello, im currently deployed, and my friends and i, are playing warcraft 3 frozen throne and rainbow 6 vegas.
When we set up a ad hoc connection, we are total of 6 players, all of us can connect to the ad hoc, but when we go to local or lan game, and try to find the game or connect, i can't connect to the game or even find the game why is that?

When i connect to the ad hoc, 3/5 times it will connect, and say no internet access but i do have lan acces, but then even when i try to find the game that they created im the only one who cannot see it why is that. we all have the same version of the game.

And also a lot of times i cannot even connect to the ad hoc, i have a bran new Dell laptop, theres no issues with that, but i have no idea how to fix the issue that im currently having.

You could help me out, i would really appreciate that.

 Sincerly ThomasThese games are very network picky. Warcraft 3 for example does not reassociate a network connection if the connection breaks and then comes back right away without exiting the game and then restarting the network peer to peer type gaming. These games were intended originally for stable lan cable connections and dial-up where disconnects were infrequent. WIRELESS networks are not as dedicated of a connection as a real PHYSICAL cable and games that require persistant handshaking can have issues with them.

First to try would be disable the RJ-45 ethernet adapter so that the only network option is WIFI adapter. Some games pick the first from the list no matter if a network is available or not, so disabling the RJ45 Network adapter will make the wifi #1 and the games will use that INSTEAD of an idle enabled and unconnected NIC.

Easy fix would be a network switch and some cables to play the games as they were intended to be originally networked.

Or you can change to a different channel than that of other neighboring wifi, so that cross network channel RF doesnt occur and maximizes your wifi connection to not listen to other networks on the same channel that needs to be as dedicated as possible to your game with its tight handshaking requirements. If you have 2 or more wifi networks on the same channel performance degrades as all the wifi devices have to pick their traffic out of the NOISE as well as answer to incoming packet requests etc. This causes latency and spotty persistant network connectivity which can make these games unhappy.

I have a user that gets an error when he logs into his system the error reads "Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again."

Now this is the setup he has:  (new system, 7 days old)
·         Intel Core i5-2400 Processor
·         Genuine Microsoft Windows® 7 Professional 64-bit
·         4GB PC3-10600 1333 MHZ DDR3 UDIMM (1 DIMM)
·         Intel® vPro™ technology
·         500GB 8MB cache 7200 RPM SATA II

When looking at the system you see that win 7 Recognizes the 4gb of ram but can only use 3.something of it.
I have no idea what is wrong with it, i have tried everything from re-seating the RAM to running memtests on it. Nothing will* comeback with a failure code or resolution.


 
     Review the settings for that MBoard and adjust accordingly...
I do not think it's a Windows issue...
Is the RAM the proper style for the board and on the approved vendor list ? ?
And if i'm reading right is that 1 stik of 4G RAM ? ?  If so was the OS installed in this condition and how long did you let MemTest run ? ?

Also if you get a chance Post the MBoard info...i don't see that above.I will try and get the BOIS settings for the RAM/Mobo and also I will be looking at the virtual memory WITHIN Win7
I do not have the specs on the mobo.
We bought the lenovo ThinkCenter M91p, for our company deployment, and had Win7 imaged on them before they shipped from China.
So yes the RAM is proper for that mobo.
And yes you are...1 stick of 4gb :P I let the mem test run for a day with no errors

Will keep you updated on the info i find

 
Have you checked to see if the System Properties? See if windows is managing the memory or if your user played with the settings.

Everest Home...System Info for Windows...and/or Speccy will provide the MBoard details...

Did i mention they are all Free ? ?I have found the issue. Its not the windows system or the hardware at all.
It is an outlook issue. The new systems that are deployed were installed with PST timezone so when we updated them outlook freaked out and tried to update but in the process of updating it ran out of RAM that outlook allocates for itself thus resulting in the "out of memory" error.

My laptop configuration is
PROCESSOR: Intel Celeron 900 2.2 GHz
Ram: 1 GB
Brand : Acer Extensa 4230
Operating system: Windows 7 Enterprise, Service pack 1

When I switch on the laptop “Press F2 for setup” screen appears and I had to press any key in keyboard then the windows continue to load. Before I don’t need to press any key and the system was working properly. Now I am experiencing the problem and the system is SLOW. Please advice me to rectify the fault
What is new or different since the LAST time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, VIRUS, error, etc)?

I've been handed my mother in laws laptop to fix, as I normally do the small fixes, virus's etc.

This ones completely ruined to my knowledge THOUGH. When booted up it will come up saying about bootmgr not found. So I'm guessing all the system files have been wiped with a format from cmd prompt. (Not by me) This laptop only had 1 drive on it, no recovery drive, and no recovery CD.

It was however a legitimate windows 7 version laptop, so I downloaded an ISO of windows 7 and burnt that to a DVD. Putting in the windows 7 disc and booting it from disc, I can get the windows to load up, select country etc as normal. Then it'll load up to "Setup is starting" Freeze on this part for about 2 - 2.5 hours. And load up the section to select which drive. It'll again freeze for about 2 - 2.5 hours before letting me select the drive. (There are 2 listed there, one called system with 5gb taken up, and the main drive - I don't understand why as whenever I was using this laptop there was only one drive in the computer)   Then when I select the drive, baring in mind it's taken about 5 hours to get this far. It'll go to the installing windows section, say "Copying files 0%.." This was on 0% for 2 hours before I fell asleep last night, woke up 4 hours later to be told:
"Windows Could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred while preparing te partition selecte for installation, Error Code 0x80070057"

This was very close to, if not the same error I got when I tried to format the HDD from the part where you select drive in the windows installation.

It also wont let me create a new partition.

Specs are:
Advent Roma 2001
Intel Celeron T3100
3072MB DDR2 RAM
320GB Hdd

As I can't load anything at all in it, apartfrom the windows Disc and Bios, I have no idea of any other specs.

Can anyone help at all? I've tried updating Bios to try and look in there, but can't FIND which one I should be using. Google doesn't seem to like the Advent 2001. Just to add. I've just managed to do the Startup Repair thing in Windows disc repair mode.

This is the result:

"Startup repair can not repair this computer automatically"

Microsoft’s partner Digital River is providing the direct high speed download links for the Windows 7 all editions, The download links are available in English,French,German,Spanish languages.

The installation ISO files of Windows 7 are hosted on the server msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net owned by Digital River, one of the delivery partners for Windows 7.

All you need is legal the Product key for a Windows 7 Edition that you want to install using these ISO images.

You can burn these images using any standard burner like ImgBurn

Hey everyone

I’m currently having issues with my laptop and really hope someone out there may have some insight into how to fix the problem!

The main issue is that my laptop freezes when it is logging off, so that it goes from the shut down screen to a logging off screen but will not move from this screen unless I manually turn the power off. Other times (possibly when I have had the COMPUTER on for a shorter period) the logging off function works normally. I’ve done a google search online and it appears that the problem is quite common, but there's no suggestions about what is likely to be useful for my system

Computer descrption

• I have a dell inspirion 1545 (just over 1 year old)
  Pentium Dual Core CPU, 4GB Ram
  193 GB of 283 GB of hard drive memory is unused
  Running Windows 7Hone Premium
  I've run virus scans with McAfee and they've come up clean

• The computer is also freezing  in internet explorer and microsoft computer  every DAY or so
  My computer often displays a “dde error” message when I open adobe pdf file
   In the last two days it has also stopped reading any portable memory devices I am trying to use
   when I TRY to open some of my music files I get  a “system call failed” error message
   when I move files in the folders on my desktop these are not immediately  displayed on the screen. Changes only appear when I hit the refresh button.

I’ve done a google search online and it appears that the problem is quite common, but there's no suggestions about what is likely to be useful for my system

i have a sony viaoTravel to Sony's site and enter your MODEL # and the OS you are running under the support/downloads TAB...And why do you NEED to UPDATE the DRIVERS?

I have watched/read a bunch of tutorials regarding this one, and they keep REFERRING me to RealTek Stereo Mix, I have downloaded the required driver and had it installed but NOTHING HAPPENS.. What should I do?Please list the EQUIPMENT you have (hardware and software) and what are you TRYING to do.

Hi There my grand kids have been messing with my PC and now when I switch it on it starts to load then stops with the message SZQHP is compressed press Ctrl+Alt+Del but when I do it goes back to the beginning over and over again. can this be fixedWhen do you see that message (after Windows starts to load or before)? And are you sure that's the correct spelling?
Can you boot to safe mode?This is the second weird bootloader spelling we have seen, we had PDWKI just recently.

jillyg, have you tried asking them what they did?



Have you done or attempted a Linux install on this machine ? ?
i searched for SZQHP and it came up with this below ( Sample Crawler Trap ) could mean something or nothing

theres about another 4 links with information if you search szqhp

Ok, so here is the story.  I have a home build computer less than a year old.  I have been running windows 7 and a nvidia 9600 graphics card.  Today, I decided to upgrade to a radeon HD 6850 card.  I put the card in and went through all the install steps and the graphics were wacky.  After the install i restarted and after the message "windows is starting" i got the black screen of DEATH followed a few secs later by windows attempting to restart, and at the same POINT it went to the black screen.  SO it removed the new card and put the old one back in and attempted to restart, Same thing, Windows is loading then black.

Next I loaded the comp in my car and drove to the geek squad.  After an hour of pokeing around, the "geek" could not figure out what the problem was and wanted me to leave it there for 4-5 DAYS and a big fee for them to "test it further".  Oh! before i left home, I had taken the hard drive out and put it in a working comp and I got the same result, so I had a feeling it might be the drive.  The "geek" suggested I try a new drive and fresh instal of win 7.  That was the cheaper option so i bought a new barracuda 7200rpm 1TB drive (same one i had before), went home and attempted to put win 7 on the new drive with the new graphic card in the comp.  Aside from wacko graphics, win 7 went through the instal process and when i was prompted to name the computer and set a user name and password, I declined it.  When the comp restarted it poped up a password screen.... I had not set one, and now I cant access it.  I EVEN tried reinstalling it AGAIN and AGAIN, it asked for a password when I never put one in.

So as you can see I have a BIG mess, any help or insight would be great!  IM very frustrated  Ok, I guess I stumped yall lol.  So after alot of searching I was able to find out how to unlock the super admin windows 7 auto installs and I got admin that way, so that part is fixed. YAY    NOW...the graphics card instal is still the issue.  When I put the new card in (radeon 6850) and the driver disk it came with, the graphics are absolutly haywire (everything is huge and blurr)  I tell it to install and it all seems to work fine until it asks me to restart.  I do, and it crashes, I get a message saying "catalyst failed to load detection driver".

I have recently put in a larger HD in my Dell Vostro 1000.  After partitioning the new drive with the same size Dell driver partition,  Vista recovery partition, and larger Vista partition, I made a Ubuntu Linux partition and then several NTFS storage partitions. I then copied the MBR and Dell driver partition to the new drive with dd from Ubuntu live. Next I used Ubuntu's ntfscopy command to copy the the TWO Vista partitions and used ntfsresize to expand the Vista partition to the new size. Then I installed Ubuntu in the Ubuntu partition. It did not recognize the Vista partition and called it a Vista recovery program, so I adjusted the config and then the boot menu comes up correctly but the boot to Vista does nothing but a black screen.  I have a Vista recovery disk but the repair programs have not worked. I have read about BCDEDIT.EXE but don't have enough information to use it. Can someone help me?You cannot simply copy an OS to a HDD and expect it to work....this is by design.
Don't you have a Vista CD ? ?It came installed and partitioned so I could add other OS's.  Dell built the recovery partition in the HD and did not see a reason to provide a CD. That still doesn't change what i posted above...
Travel to the Dell site for info on using the hidden recovery partition....

NOTE using it will wipe all your data and take the machine back to Day One status.Thanks for your time. Dell and MS  make it so difficult to upgrade a simple HD.  If they don't trust their customers why should we trust them? Quote from: jims424 on February 18, 2011, 09:42:17 PM

Hi There.  I am new to this forum, so I hope this is the correct place to post this question.  If not, I apologize.   

I have had some recent "ISSUES" with my laptop, some that will definitely belong in other forums on this site, but this is one I think belongs here and couldn't find any other information doing a "search".

As the subject states, if I open up Windows Task Manager, and click on Processes; in the lower left hand corner, it seems to currently go from showing that 94 or 95 (actually, right now it has changed to 91 and I have done nothing different since starting this thread) processes are running while I only count 32 or 33 (it changes as I look at the SCREEN) listed in the window that lists them all.  I do not really understand computers, and have to wonder if these 90+ processes are slowing things down, and would love to know what I can permanently turn off from automatically running to help boost performance.  I am going to "snip" a shot of the Task Manager window showing this so you can see what I mean.  Or at least I am going to try to since there is a button that says "Insert Image".    Now, it says 97 processes are running, just from selecting the "snipping" tool.  See, I really don't know what I am doing.

And now I see that clicking the "insert image" button just puts img in brackets with the cursor blinking in between so I have no idea how to attach the image, sorry.

With all this said, if someone can tell me how to attach the screen shot so that I can be told what can and can't be turned off, I would appreciate it.

Thanks, and have a great holiday weekend..........for those of us in the USA.

If it helps any, my computer is an HP Pavillion dv7-1267cl Laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit with 4gb Ram, 500gb HDD, and Blu-Ray DVD Player/DVD Burner.

All i can say is you can go bonkers staring at Task Manager and trying to figure out what's what...

2 Things you can do...DLoad and install Process Explorer...gives a much clearer pictuire of what's happening...

And DLoad and install StartupCPL from Mike Lin...use it to get your startup items under control...

NOTE: Do NOT disable anything if you do not know what it does...

Best of Luck. Quote from: patio on September 03, 2010, 10:50:49 AM

yes I agree there is a process that will crash your computer instantly if you end it. Ive done that once.

Gee, thanks.

have you tries showing all processes using the "show processes from all users" button? Because it's not enabled in the screenshot.

Hi,

I am fairly new and in search of some help here on the forums. I have RECENTLY bought a computer from a friend (2nd hand). I ran msinfo32.exe in the run box and it shoot out the system INFORMATION. On there I notice that the MANUFACTURE was incorrect and so it the model number. The desktop is a dell and the model is Inspiron 570 MT. I wanted to change it back to these vales but was unable to.

I tried using regedit searching under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\system\BIOS to change data under the name Base Board Manufacturer, system family, system Manufacture and system product name. I've successfully replaced it with the correct manufacture and product name but as I recheck msinfo32.exe it was still unchanged. I tried RESTARTING it hoping that it would refresh the msinfo32.exe but all it did was restoring all the data that I edited.

Is there a way where I can change it back to the correct information?

Thanks,

Msinfo30

I have forgotten my admin password to access to computer.  I never set up back up disc, and the only admin user registered on the computer is the one with forgotten password.  Any one have any ideas?The members of CH like to HELP people.
We expect you to understand that we need some information to help you.
What is the make and model of your computer?
How LONG have you had it?
Did you register it with the original manufacture?
Which OS does it have and is it the original?

The answer we GIVE depends on this information.


http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/The make is Toshiba.
Model : SateliteL675
I have had it about 2 weeks.
Windows7     Original

None of that is important.

I have a machine with a user account that is encrypted....LITTLE padlock NEAR it when I open the "C" drive. How do I reverse that so it is not encrypted?

I am a admin and its win 7 home

Thanks!
You get the password from the user.

You need the encryption certificate / keyThis reference should HELP: HTTP://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee424315(WS.10).aspxthanks everyone....user is a friend and the account has no password. Should be a cake walk.

I will read over the link and give it a shot.

Thanks again.

HP Media Center Desktop PC M8400F I would give other spec's but I'm almost 100% positive none of them are going to assist in a solution to my problem.

1.) Bought System Recovery disc's from HP...

2.) Backed up all files on external 500 GB Seagate FreeAgent Desktop hard drive

3.) Popped in disc 1 switched boot priorities to boot from CD drive

4.) followed steps...reformatted windows installation partition

5.) let it do it's thing...formatting and reinstalling original files

6.) at end says you should do these things after you get back into windows etc etc update SECURITY stuff etc I click Finish system reboots.

7.) Loads Hp logo etc ...."Windows Loading Files" with white progress bar on bottom...then motion bar "Microsoft Corporation"

8.) Pops up with a background showing a computer with a CD with binary numbers floating around the CD (01010101) with a wand pointed at the middle hole in the CD...title in the background reads "Flex Build 2.0" "HP Restricted"

9.) There is a cmd window that pops up entitled startnet.cmd I researched a bit found out that I THINK it's in the Window's PE MODE (Preinstallation Environment)

10.) loads some text up onto the cmd ...some things it said were...ModeExecution BuildPartition....calling maestro...Searching for USER partition....

11.)After waiting for a couple of seconds...it changes from that to a completely new screen with a grey background http://www.sunyit.edu/images/scp7.jpg it has two folders and the paper transfer animation and that's it...I had to go to work and left it running for my 4 hour shift thinking it will do what it needs to do by the time I get back I get back it's the same screen...so I thought well I'm screwed at this point...nothing would take 4 hours...not to mention the harddrive activity light didn't even show signs of activity just a steady blink blink blink every 2 seconds...

My goal is to get vista back onto this computer and get it working like normal again...the system recovery discs I only ordered to avoid issues with not having the proper drivers for the computer...seeing as these are formatted differently than say a regular ole Vista 32 bit OEM disc...it might not be doing the same things...so my last solution in my opinion would be to buy a normal vista disc and then obtain all the drivers for the system and upload them via jumpdrive...

But so far I'm lost...any help would be greatly appreciated...if any other info is needed just post...and I'll do what i can do get it on here.


ThanksDid you ever get to PART where you insert disk two?Yep yep i've done that part probably about 6-7 times now..put disc one in disc 2 etc...then reboot
It looks like wrong CD. Call them back. Their support is open 24/7Why did you have to reinstall windows in the first place? Quote from: Broni on March 04, 2009, 10:52:30 PM

Why did you have to reinstall windows in the first place?

two folders and the paper transfer animation and that's it...

Could be a problem with your hard drive.

Would ANYONE know how to make this work on Windows 7? Running the Script with admin rights doesn't work at least not in my testing. Start CMD in admin mode and then ran the vbs file from that CMD windows and it returns not admin. I'm half thinking it has something to do with this line ... Code: [SELECT]Set objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "") But I have no idea how to fix it to work with Windows 7. It does work on XP.

Code: [Select]On Error Resume Next
strTestUser = "TestUser"
strComputer = "."
Set objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "")
'Try to create test account
Set objUser = objComputer.Create("user", strTestUser)
objUser.SetPassword "blahblah"
objUser.SetInfo
'WSCRIPT.Echo Err.Number
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
 WScript.Echo "Not an admin"
Else
 WScript.Echo "Is an admin"
 'Cleanup test account
 objComputer.Delete "user", strTestUser
End IfIf you are using a 64-bit version of windows you cannot use CreateObject() or GetObject() to create or acquire instances of COM objects.

I had a very similar problem.

My solution was to use the 32-bit version of wscript or cscript, found in %systemroot%\syswow64\


Awesome ...

~bows down to your greatness~ Thanks for the HELP.

ok we just did a major switch from SMALL biz server 2003 to server 2008 standard R2.  and now half of the Vista computers are still looking for the OLD server for their files no matter what we change in group polices. if i LOG on to the computers with my account everything works fine the files are pointing to the new server and if i log their accounts into my computer everything is fine but for some reason their accounts keep looking for the old server on their computers. I am lost.  any ideas would be great.   i have RESET all GP's and even did an edit of local Group Polices. turned off offline files and folder redirection. and have checked the users accounts in AD and have found nothing. so it have to be the computer right?  HELP!!!!!

I AM USING WINDOWS 7 AND I CANT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET, I GET MESSAGE SAYING SIM NOT RECOGNISED,WHAT COULD BE A PROBLEM

Hello, I bought a new computer and got a bargain on Windows 7 Home (supreme?) something LIKE that.

OMG- I can't function!  I can't make a folder and put it on my desktop. 

If I put my curser down towards the tray area, the screen goes blank and makes you think you lost
your page.

I'm making a website and I can't even organize my html pages and jpgs into one common folder!

Could anyone direct me where to read or tell me how to re-install my Windows XP version and re-install it
while saving my work I've done the last 4 days on Windows 7

Or can I not re-install Windows XP?

I just want a functioning computer and I don't want to go to college to learn Windows 7!

I was very happy with XP, I want to go back to it even if I've lost money over the deal.

Thanks for any help!   Pennie77 Take it back. Quote from: JJ 3000 on February 10, 2011, 11:39:25 PM

Take it back.

...if you can use XP then you can defiantly use 7

That's not a very accurate, or correct statement.

Why, whats the major differnece in using XP and 7? I know they aredifferent, obviously, but as far as using XP then using 7, i cant see your point!

Then you aren't looking very hard.  The obvious place to start is drivers.

If I put my curser down towards the tray area, the screen goes blank and makes you think you lost your page.

I can't make a folder and put it on my desktop.

my work I've done the last 4 days on Windows 7

Exactly, its a new computer, its faulty, take it back, simple.

Would still like to know why you are not taking it back, if it is new?

A few weeks ago My USB's started to act up. Mainly that every time I PLUGGED in my Ipod it wasn't recognised by the SYSTEM. I also discovered that other USB devices wouldn't work, External hard drive, flash drive cards,phone sync, although my USB printer seemed to CARRY on regardless!
My default fix for software problems is to reformat and reinstall the operating system which I did, only to find the problem still persists!
Can you advise me what to do? or is this more likely to be a hardware problem?

I have a Dell Dimention 4600
Any ERRORS in DEVICE manager?No, all the ports think they are OK.

Greetings.

This morning when I decided to restart my Computer it ran some sort of check/test.(Something about checking a disk for consistency)
Afterwords I was left with a blank screen and a cursor. I waited a bit before growing impatient and restarting it again.(That was probably a mistake.)

This time I was greated with this message:

========== Purity Check ==========
 
 
< End of report >

don't really want to do too much when I'm not sure what exactly it is I'm doing

• Insert USB stick and find the file Fix.txt. Drag the file Fix.txt and drop it under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom.
  
  
  • (The content of Fix.txt should appear in the box)
    
• Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  
• Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  
• Post the log produced (you'll need to transfer it with USB stick)
• Attempt to reboot normally into Windows.

I have a Dell Studio 1555 and it's only about a year and a half old. A few months ago a red X showed up on the battery symbol in the BOTTOM CORNER of the screen and a pop up said I should replace my battery. It lasted about 20 minutes without being plugged in. So I got a new battery in January, which only lasted one hour without being charged and it died again last week. Why do my batteries keep dying? Is there a way to FIX this? Thanks!!!
I know it not a fix, but as you can see from the link, a few people are not happy with this battery, you may be one of the 'unlucky' ones!

http://reviews.dell.com/2341/312-0702/dell-dell-85-whr-9-cell-lithium-ion-battery-for-for-studio-15-1537-1555-laptops-reviews/reviews.htm
I  looked at two sites about your laptop.  One that sells it claimed up to 8 hours of battery life.  Another was PC mag, which reviewed it, and which is usually accurate and one of the advantages they listed was long battery life.

When the laptop was new how long did the battery last?

Can you borrow a charger from someone else and try it?  Since you got a new battery and it only lasts a short time, my first GUESS is that there is a PROBLEM with the charger.

Does anybody know how I can get Adobe Photoshop to work on Windows 7? My version  is pre-Windows 7 and works on XP and Vista. Are there any work arounds?try running Adobe Photoshop in XP or Vista compatibility mode on your win7 MACHINE.

see if it works.There is no reason Photoshop will not run on Win7 and you dont NEED compatibility mode...
I have it installed and its FINE...

Unless it's a pirate copy i cant see this happening.

Hi everyone,

I INSTALLED Excel 2003. Later that day, I turned the PC on. Vista loaded but then a blank black screen appeared. I was able to log in via Safe Mode. I tried Last know Good Config. I couldn't do a System Restore since this hadn't WORKING for months. I did a factory restore. After the restore, the screen said Windows is preparing for first use or something similar. Then a blank black screen appeared. I could not boot via Safe Mode. I cant boot via Safe Mode with Command Prompt. I booted via Bootlog. The last file that loaded before the black screen was crcdisk.sys. I renamed and then deleted this file and some other files(pcmcia.sys, 1394bus.sys). This didn't fix the problem either. And now when I boot via Bootlog, I just get a blank black screen.

I have tried booting any way that I can but nothing has worked. I ran the startup up tool and it runs for like 3 seconds. Ran memory diagnostics. CHECKED my memory. I ran an extended test on my hd and it failed. Mentioned something about 7. I dont have a backup. I don't have a Vista CD. And I don't WANT to buy a new hard drive unless I have to. Please help.

Running  windy 7 I see that one hard drive has the wireless USB icon.
No way does the old PC have a wireless Hard Drive.
So is this a prank? Or does it really mean something?
I don't have a CLUE. The screenwriter attached.



[recovering DISK space - old attachment deleted by ADMIN]Does that drive have an autorun.inf FILE?

Ran a virus scan lately?

Hi,

Thanks in advance for any HELP you can suggest.

I have a HP Compaq laptop using Windows vista 'basic' OS.

The battery pack always has to plugged into the mains otherwise the laptop will run out of battery and turn itself off (not the main problem i need solving).

I had a few programmes running and wasn't aware that the power adaptor had slipped out and the laptop RAN out of battery and shutdown automatically ( not through the PROPER procedure).

Ever since this happened the laptop has been running poorly.

For 1, whenever User Account Control pops up for a programme and I press continue, the screen freezes (in the shaded mode) and I have to exit through ctrl, alt, del.

Secondly the laptop seems to be taking alot longer to boot up than before the forced shutdown.

I have ran full virus scans, and it says everything is fine.

No doubt this has happened to someone and you could help me!

Thanks alot

MattLet's start with the HD: To check the hard drive right-click on a command prompt icon and open as administrator. In the command prompt window type:chkdsk /r  (then press ENTER). You'll be told the disk is in use and ASKED if you want to run checkdisk on the next boot. Say yes, exit the command prompt window, and reboot.Hi Allan,

I,m not sure how or why but after running the disk check, the computer is running alot better!

the start up is running alot quicker and UAC is working.

Just out of interest how/why would this have helped?

Thank you very much!Anomalous shut downs can cause lost clusters and other hd errors. Often these very minor in nature and the user is not effected, but sometimes they can cause problems. Running checkisk with the repair option generally fixes the problems.That makes sense.

Thanks again

MattJust had the same experience on my vaio. Thanks for the clarification!

I recently returned to college with my DESKTOP computer, which has a tv tuner. It worked perfectly last semester. Unfortunately, this semester, it's not... well. It works fine for about 10 minutes, and then I get the BSOD. The error message upon starting up Windows 7 is:

Download, and install SpeedFan: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php
Post your computer TEMPERATURES:



Provide processor info (hold Windows logo key, and hit Pause/Break key to find out).Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00 GHz

Current Temps:

GPU: 51C
Temp1: 49C
Temp2: 43C
Temp3: -8C
CPU: -64C
Internal Temp: 46C
Remote Temp: -64C
Core: 46C

When I run the TV tuner to watch tv i get a core of 70C, GPU goes up to 55, temps 1, 2, and 3 go up to 77C 44C and 68C respectively.

However, I honestly don't believe it's the temperature because my computer gets a sh!t load hotter when I play games, and I dont get the BSOD when that happens (except for a couple games). I think the 1x00000101 error is a CPU timing problem.Yeah, go ahead and melt your CPU (if you didn't cause some damage already).
Your CPU max temp is listed at 62C!

Those BSODs come either form overheating, or from already damaged processor.Broni:

had the same error code and found this forum by google search.
You saved me from buying a new cpu. The cooler was stuck by a cable.

Thanks a lot! Core meltdown prevented - at least in my case -I'm glad to help

Trying to create a system image for my new Windows 7 build and what makes no sense is that it wants to format my DVD-R disc before writing to it. If it were a DVD-RW disc, it would make sense, but my DVD-R's are a 1 time burn type disc. At the END of burning the first disc I get the folloing error complaining about  the media as SHOWN in this screenshot. Do you really need DVD-RW's to create an image using the built in System Image utility???

What stinks also is that my Ghost 2003 can not image this Windows 7 system as well, and I refuse to buy $$$$Enterprise$$$$$ Symantec Ghost to have all the features that 2003 has. Was hoping the built in system image utility of Win 7 would be the free solution....

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]It could just be a problem with the disks.

Have you tried Macrium Reflect? A quick Google search using the words of that error message revealed that many people have had trouble using Windows 7 image backup feature with DVD disks. The "formatting" message can be ignored, but the crapping out part way through a disk seems to be quite common. Especially with some hardware (Dell got mentioned). Some have suggested the problem may be that the burn is done too fast for many disk brand/burner combinations. I use image backup once a week with each of 2 USB external HDDS alternately.
Well update to this is that I ENDED up putting an old external USB 80GB HD to good use and was ABLE to create an image to that drive. At the end of this it gave option to create a bootable DVD disc that can be used with the external drive now and the 11GB image to build the system back from.

My hardware is 2003 model Compaq Presario computer tower case with brand new Biostar motherboard with Athlon II X2 2.5Ghz, 4GB Ram, 550 Watt PSU, 500GB SATA HD, and the burner is a SATA LG Brand 16X DVD-RW Burner. (Skimped on the case for my new computer build, but all guts including PSU are new) * The original single core AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (2.08Ghz) just wasnt fast enough anymore for my needs and was retired after almost 8 good years of operation.

Basically i'm trying to move music from my laptop (XP) to my brothers (windows 7) im doing this via a external hard drive. Whenever i try to save or play or IMPORT this music all I get is messages about how I dont have permission and how i need to contact the administrator, the windows 7 account it an administrator and i've changed all the file type to full permission for everyone and changed the owner to the current account on windows 7 but still i recieve the messages. They now tell me about how I need to contact the account name that i'm ON to save the files even though its TELLING me i own the file, its been a few weeks of GOOGLING and youtube TUTORIALS and i am now at the POINT of destroying and never using again windows 7!
HELP! thanks. You need to take ownership of those files: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/

I have a HP G60 model 549dx  OS system WIN 7 preloaded it have two accounts admin an user my daughter set up both accounts and can't remember the admin password although she can still use it as guest everything document is save on a flash drive i want to reinstall win 7 but don't have a disk since it came preloaded shouldn't it still be on there? and all i would have to do is push f8 or f11 and start a fresh install? not sure so thats why I'm asking can someone help walk me through the STEPS thanksNo idea what your question is. Please use some punctuation - your post is virtually impossible to decipher.He wants a admin password bypass!!!!!!!thanks sage at least someone can read Quote from: jussnice on January 29, 2011, 07:41:22 PM

I have win 7. and was going to get
windows Live mail

Because win 7. does not have OUTLOOK express.

But I have  VERIZON for my internet and e mail account.

I keep seeing things on YouTube about you need a  Win iD  or  Hotmail or Gmail  to use win Live mail.

I don't want to have to get onee more e mail account.

Can I just use window Live without getting a win live iD or Hotmail or Gmail or  MsN mail account?

And just use it with my Verizon account?Yes, you can use WLM with any POP-enabled email account.  You do not need to use a Hotmail or Gmail or MSN account.  I believe you do not need to get a Live ID, but I'm not absolutely sure about that, since it's been awhile since I INSTALLED WLM.  I suggest downloading and installed WLM and see WHETHER you are prodded, during the installation, to enter or create a Win Live ID.  I think it will not be REQUIRED but, again, I'm not absolutely sure about this. Thank you.

I did try  Thunderbird  and did not like it.
I will try  windows Live mail next.

But do you know of another e mail cient prgram that may be good?Why did you not like Thunderbird ? ? Quote from: nymph4 on January 28, 2011, 01:18:34 PM

Having found a thread titled "Re: Advanced System OPTIMIZER 3 - Sasnative64  (problem solved)" I NOTE that reply but I do not have Advanced System Optimiser, nor any other Optimiser. The nearest thing I have is Diskeeper 2010, but as far as my imperfect memory recalls, I had no problem with this boot up error message (Subject Heading) until QUITE some time after Diskeeper was installed.

So far, I just ignore the message but WONDER whether something may come back and bite me on the bum

I had no problem with this boot up error message (Subject Heading) until quite some time after Diskeeper was installed.

Here's my problem I'm having.

I move my internet modem back and FORTH between my computer and my xbox 360, depending on where internet is needed at that point it time.
(I'm poor-ish and cannot afford another ethernet cable or a wireless adapter at the moment)

For a PERIOD of about two weeks, I had just left it in the living ROOM plugged into the xbox. Finally, last night, I decided to skype with a friend of mine. So I moved the modem back in. Once it hooked up and showed a valid internet connection, I opened my default browser (Google Chrome) to facebook for a bit while talking to her.  Immediately, I noticed some issues with my browser. Some pages were only partially loading, or fully loading but giving some gibberish as if it was still partially undecoded. Also, things that normally use Flash 10.1 on my computer to launch (i.e. Youtube, some things on FBOOK, and the like) Were not launching. Almost as if the computer could not detect Adobe Flash on the DRIVE at all. So, I uninstalled it with the intent of reinstalling to fix the problem. When attempting to download it again, I ran into my biggest problem yet. Files will not download from any browser (Chrome, IE, or Firefox) and those very few that do, when the installer begins, gives some kind of registry or exception or validation error and closes down. I completely wiped the partition and reinstalled Windows 7, to no avail.


Ideas? Suggestions?

I  usually go to VeeHD to watch movies.  Last week sometime one of the movies would not buffer at all and I noticed that there was a newer version of Divx.  So,  I followed the steps and clicked my way through to installing the Divx plus version (I think that's the version as there are so many different things with Divx like web player, regular player, and DivX Plus Converter, DivX Plus Codec Pack, DivX Plus Web Player
).  After installing and going to a movie site the player will load and I'll get the message buffering but I cannot PRESS the play button.  Then, eventually I get IE is not responding.  I tried removing all of the Divx programs from my program list and reinstalling an OLDER version from http://www.oldversion.com/download_DivX_6.8.4.html, but getting the same problem.  And now, again I'm trying to reinstall the plus version and the setup box that appears when you are installing the program freezes and I have to do TASK manager to close out the program.  I don't know how many versions of this program are on my computer and I don't know what to do.  This is the website I usually goto to watch movies.

http://veehd.com/video/3430838_GONE-BABY-GONE-2007.

Now I just get the buffering and it doesn't freeze or not respond right away, I usually flip between TABS and then it freezes.

Help.  I have Visita with all the latest UPDATES.  If you'll help and need more info - I'll try to provide it.

i have a toshiba laptop (SATELLITE) RUNNING win 7 and i am having trouble closing programs...i try to x them out and it TAKES roughly 10 seconds to close the program...any clues anyone?All programs or just specific programs? What is new or different since the LAST time everything WORKED properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?

I'm trying to download and I get this message. I don't have a clue on what to do to correct the problem I would be appreciative for some help Thank You

                                                                                                    Change the folder PROPERTIES and try again, or try saving in a different location.1. Try saving the PDF directly to desktop. I think you know how to do that? 

2. You might want to try reinstalling the PROGRAM you use to open PDF files.

Hopefully that gets you somewhere, if not ask again 

DLoad and install Foxit Reader.....Free.

See if that does it... Quote from: hardtimes25 on November 29, 2010, 11:35:58 PM

I don't know why, but my computer lowered it's space from 20.1 GB free to 15.1 free in 2 days. I didn't download anything at all, just let my friend play a FPS on my computer (already installed and no patches came out that day) called A.V.A. by Ijji. I know it's a safe game without viruses, so I know it's not the problem. I recently ran defraggler, about 2 weeks ago and it cleared 10 gb off my hard drive, so I was like "alright!" I then installed A.V.A. and ended with with I think about 22 GB free. I ran defraggler again to hopefully get even more space, but it ended up ACTUALLY TAKING up space. After that my hard disk space has randomly gone down.

Additional Details
I have Windows Vista Home Premium and my Malwarebytes said nothing was found and I stopped Nod32 halfway since nothing showed up too and I was tired of waiting.

My computer space after virus scanning is 14.9 GB. It just went down some more.

I system restored my computer to 11/30 and it went to 14.2 GB, then uninstalled a few things to make it 14.8 GB. Now it just randomly dropped to 14.5 GB. What's happening?


Update #1
My space has now gone down to 12.8 GB. What's happening??robles56,
You should already know that we need more information.
What make of PC do you have.
Which OS do you have.
Name all AV software you are using.
Is your PC always on-line?
Are you using lime wire or other P2P?
What is the size of your disk drive?
Why not GIT a BIGGER Drive? No, that is not a joke. Having only 12 GB spare is small  by current standards. Except for a net book.
I suspect below said could be the issue 
*******************************

ISSUE : Hard Disk space is getting reduced on a daily basis in Windows Vista
 
CAUSE: The disk space is used by the System Restore points to store the data.

RESOLUTION:

Disable the System Restore temporarily to get the lost Hard disk space back. On doing that, the System Restore points already created will be lost. To prevent this from happening again, reduce the size of disk space used by the System Restore points. To do that, type the following command at the command prompt:

vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=C: /On=C: /Maxsize=3GB

In the above command, 3GB refers to the size used by the Restore point. We can change it accordingly.

If all goes well you should see a message saying 'Successfully resized the shadow copy storage association". Your System Restore shadow storage has now been resized. This will solve the issue for sure.

"robles56,
You should already know that we need more information.
What make of PC do you have. I don't know what you mean, but my computer is a Vostro 200 by dell
Which OS do you have. Windows Vista
Name all AV software you are using. MBAM (free one), Nod32 2.7 (guy who fixed up my computer last time for a better video card put it for me for free)
Is your PC always on-line? Yes, I always have internet on.
Are you using lime wire or other P2P? No, I download any P2P thing except ONE file, Fraps, a recorder for video games, which my friend also downloaded and has no problems.
What is the size of your disk drive? 74.4 GB
Why not git a bigger Drive? No, that is not a joke. Having only 12 GB spare is small  by current standards. Except for a net book." I'm considering custom building a new pc later, but for now I really need this computer.

Thanks.





I checked that i have used up (checking all my c: files, and added them up) comes up as 50.25 GB used up (my own calculations, clicking on properties on every
folder in C:), and the computer says there are 59.9 GB used. That's about 9.60 GB used that doesn't show up in my calculations, which I'm sure are accurate. Why is this happening? Quote from: Sykes on December 06, 2010, 11:53:04 PM
