So no matter what browser I am using (IE, Chrome, Firefox) I can't click on certain links on certain websites. Normally I can browse the internet just fine clicking on whatever I want. My computer recently started doing this but I'm not sure exactly when, and if anything was downloaded onto my computer (I don't really download anything, so I'm not sure if that is RELATED). Anyway, I first discovered it when I tried to click on a page number on a website and nothing happened. My CURSOR turns into a pointing finger, but absolutely nothing happens when I try to click certain links. This is maddening and frustrating, and I haven't been able to figure out any solution. I tried uninstalling Java and re-installing it. I've tried clearing my cache and COOKIES and all that. I know that it's not a pop up blocker, because ctrl-clicking doesn't do anything either. It's as if my computer doesn't even recognize that some links work? I dont know, I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to knowing the technical stuff about computers. Please HELP me!I believe this will answer your question: http://bloodycomputer.blogspot.com/2008/01/keyboard-shortcut-of-week-so-what-is.html.  It does the same thing as right clicking your MOUSE; it brings up the same menu. It's not right clicking that's the problem. It's just the left click

Hello
i installed windows ultimate and an Asus EEE pc 1001pxd. The netbook has one 1gb of memory installed but as i finished installation it initially took about ten mins to boot. After a few days it will not boot anymore. it shows the windows boot choices and i used "start windows normal". But after several mins it gives me options
1. Restore
2. startup repair
3.memory diagnostic
4. Command prompt (i am just summarizing the names of the 4 choices that it gave me)
i chose startup repair but after almost an hour it can't boot.What OS did the netbook originally ship with? To get your netbook working first you may want to FOLLOW these instructions to access your Recovery Partition to get it working again:

If you want to stress-test your system to check for hardware errors you might want to USE the following programs:
IntelBurnTest for your CPU: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/IntelBurnTest.shtml RUN it on Standard, 1024MB, for 10 passes. If your system gets unstable in the process it will tell you.
MemTest86+ for your RAM: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/Memtest86-plus.shtml Run it for 10 passes. It will INDICATE if there is a read/write error if your RAM is faulty.

when I try to stack,CASCADE or side by side ETC, the pages don't do this.

how to FIX thisThe pages should not be collapsed and then right-click on your taskbar and CHOOSE your PREFERENCE from there. Is that how you do it?

All My DOCUMENTS and folders as well all desktop folders and documents can't  open. But if i change the USER and RETURN to the same user i can find the documents which i try to open opened.

pls help me, i'm using WIN 7

Remove one of your AV programs for starters (see your AV thread).

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

2) When the cpu spikes, which process does task manager show is using the cycles?

Hi Guys

I have the FOLLOWING pc which I have just installed windows 7 on.

http://uk.ts.fujitsu.com/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/professionalpc/Scenic/ScenicP/scenicP.htm

Problem I have is that I cannot connect to the internet as its says I've no Ethernet adapter. I had no internet problems running XP but now because I cant get online I cant update my drivers! (I do however have an laptop for downloading purposes)

I do have a yello ! in device manager.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.The drivers need to COME from the Manuf. site,,,although since it's older i doubt it may have Win7 drivers available...

The link doesn't go anywhere from the internal links however...are they still in business ? ?You also need to install the chipset driverYes I believe so..

http://www.fujitsu.com/uk

sorry my knowledge is pretty limited.OK...it'll be under Support...enter your Model # and the OS...Win7 in this case and select Downloads/Drivers...
Chipset drivers should go 1st...then re-boot and add all others. Quote from: patio on January 12, 2012, 12:34:25 PM

Hi!

A few days ago, my keyboard got disconnected to my pc while it was turned on.
The keyboard was reconnected, but just didn't work.
When I restarted the PC my keyboard once again WORKED, with ONE exeption: All characters appearing through typing Alt Gr + 2 and so on are still unavailible.
My system is a triple BOOT one, and when I boot into Linux my keyboard work just fine.

A few days ago I was going to play Star Trek Online, but as soon as I'd typed in my password and username and pressed "Submit", the client crashed.
I thought this was a internal GAME error and posted a support ticket. The support team couldn't give me an answer.
Today I ran that same install of STO under wine in linux and everything went great. (Ignoring the fact that the patch BUTTON won't work later on.  )

It suddenly crossed my mind that this might not be a coincidense, but that it could actually be a windows error.
Could someone please help me to solve the keyboard error, and maybe that'll solve my STO client prob.

Of course if you know what this is all about, please post that answer

Thx!

Worth saying: Eclipse and the android SDK got installed around that period of time.Forgot to say OS. This problem is windows vista.

This is on a new laptop I bought to use programming car computers. It will never be USED on the internet or a network. No antivirus/firewall needs to be installed. I remember doing this temporarily on my PC running Vista a few YEARS ago but I don't remember how I did it. Is the proceedure the same in Windows 7?
Thanks for any help!
MikeAbout doing this previously, I MAY be thinking of turning on net user administrator via command prompt. I researched my post history and found out how to do that. Works the same for Windows 7 as it does for Vista (although I won't post the proceedure for the novice users sake).
But the instructions included with my programming software list "Turn Off User Account Control". I must do this in order to run the '.exe' installation files for my software.

Hi I am operating WIN 7 64bit

I want to hibernate my PC by executing a SINGLE file.

I tried creating shortcut but that didnt work for some reason.DONT know why.
Code: [Select]    C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState 0,1,0

I was WONDERING if .bat file can be a solution?

I dont know how to code batch file.

Can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance


Try it in a batch file. All you need is what you posted.

sorry i thought its a programming thing

does anyone know a GOOD e-note and DOCUMENT DOWNLOAD SIGHT.

How can i manually restore my windows 7 to an earlier TIME if the system did not create any restore point to roll BACK my actions. It looks like manual restore points can only be create for the present time?You can't. The BEST you can do is take your back to "system shipped" status if it has a recovery partition or disc.

This is why I strongly recommend that EVERYONE should use disc imaging software. Systems restore is great - when it works. Disc Images always WORK.

For Vista.  As up to now I have used one PROFILE to do everything and want to start using a standard profile to browse the web.  When in user profiles I cannot select the profile I want to copy-the copy box is faded and cannot be selected.  So, I CREATED another administrator profile because I read you cannot copy the profile you are using.  When logged into an administrator ACCOUNT, and this is not the one I want to copy, and I select the account in user profile the copy box is still faded.  The two new profiles I have just created both, both standard and admin, the copy to box can be selected for both.  But, still not the one I have always been using that I want to copy.Did you already see any of these?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XILxb8dEdfY

http://familyinternet.about.com/od/projects/ss/adduservista.htmI'm OK with creating profiles but want to copy one.  The one I want to copy is what I use all the time and have always used but when I try and copy it the "delete" and "copy" boxes are faded.  I'm THINKING I can just FIND the favorites folder and just copy that to the new profile and just set it up the way I like it.

Last night I used Acronis True Image Home 2012. What I did I wanted to clone my HDD. So I set PROGRAM to run and went to bed. This MORNING when I woke up I noticed some error on the screen:  NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart. So I did a restart one time, second time and again and still same error. Then I tried to start up Windows thru my bootable flash drive with Win7 installation disk (DVD drive is broken on this computer, can't open it up). That still didn't solve the problem.

Googling for my problem I read somewhere that one of some steps to resolve this issue is to disable QUICK Boot Option in BIOS. I can't see such option in BIOS of my computer. Really.

Just very lately I notice that I'm not even able to boot from my flash drive >:(YES, I checked in BIOS that settings are correct to boot from flash drive). Like I MENTION above, I was able to boot flash drive in the morning, now - not even that. Instead of that I get Windows Boot Manager info. Among other things it says there:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.

Moreover, I read on some sites that an error "NTLDR is missing" doesn't apply to Win7. Like this error can't happen in Win7. What's the heck ? I'm using Win7 on this computer
I'm pretty frustrated with this problem.

Some piece of advice, please

EDIT: I'd like also to add that no any external hard drive, flash drive, floppy disk or CD/DVD has been inserted since I notice the problem. Only one OS has been used on this computer (Win7).
EDIT2: All this problem concerns my second computer.
HP Slimline
Win7 Ultimate 64bit
Intel QuadCore
RAM (if I remember) 4 GB

I had my computer built several months ago and it has worked amazingly well until recently. It has started to randomly restart without warning. It does not freeze or turn off completely - just restarts. I get no blue screen nor error messages. I only get the black screen that tells me windows was not shut down properly and the option to start normally or in Safe Mode. If I tell it to run normally, it will boot up again just fine. Sometimes when it restarts though, it will loop. It will try and boot windows and fail and want to do a repair. I will allow it to do a repair and it will then boot windows once its finished. It has looped indefinitely before and I've had to reinstall windows. I reinstalled windows two days ago and its still restarting, but always manages to reboot or repair and reboot.
   I have noticed it to restart when I play games (Star Wars: The Old Republic) and it has restarted twice when I alt tabbed and windowed the game to look up something online. However, it has also restarted on me while I was watching a DVD and while I was just surfing the internet without any other programs running.
   I have run eventviewer and only found kernel-power error with bugcheckCodes as 0s. I have also run MEMTEST and my RAM seemed to pass. I've also noticed my speakers make a short static sound when I turn on my computer (like someone brushing over a mircophone). My sound also seems a little off sometimes when I play video games. We recently installed a new dvd drive Blu-ray/dvd burner. The sound issue is a bit more new and do not know if the two symptoms are from the same issue. I've checked my drivers but see no explanation marks and drivers seem to be up to date. This is driving me crazy as well as my much more tech-savvy friends. I will be running more tests, but until then.. help!!

Edit: I've also watched my temperatures and even while running the game, nothing went above 51 Celsius. It has restarted on me while looking for a solution online and nothing was higher than 41 Celsius! Sometimes it reboots after several hours of use, other times it will reboot after only being on for a few minutes.

My specs:

Windows 7 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor 3.68 GHZ
8 GB RAM (Corsair brand)
AMD Radeon HD 6950 Graphics card
Sabertooth 990FX Motherboard
600-Watt Power Supply (Corsair)
2 TB Hard Drive

And um I dont know what else you'd need. so PLEASE ask lol. I greatly appreciate any input!!I THOUGHT the stock speed for the 965 was 3.4 GHz., so that means you are running an overclocked CPU. (Did you know this?) Have you tried running the CPU at its stock speed and voltage settings? Sure sounds like some kind of CPU / RAM instability issues. When you overclock, you are going outside your hardware specifications and you can run into all kinds of issues to do with e.g. CPU & RAM voltages and RAM type, timings etc. You might get more focussed and savvy help on one of the AMD overclockers forums. I see you had this system built for you. Have you tried asking the person who built it for advice? Have you done the obvious things like making sure the RAM is seated?
I never noticed that before, but you are right. I still have the original box and it says it is a 3.40 GHz, but if I look it up on my computer it says it is a 3.68 GHz

Edit: No I was not aware that it was overclocked nor did I ask anyone to overclock it for me or do I remember anyone telling me they overclocked it. I will have to ask them and find out. Quote from: Restart on January 22, 2012, 02:47:03 AM

Hi everyone,
when I try to create a restore point. my computer says that it could not create one. it has also been freezing frequently for the past few weeks and sometimes also says that windows outlook is not responding and 'the programme will be closed'. Which it then does and sometimes it will work fine if I restart it and sometimes it doesn't and then I have to shut down the computer and start it again before  it will work. do you think this is a soft ware or a hardware problem? It has me really confused. Thanks for any help that you cah give me.
Wishing you all a Happy and prosperous New Year.
regards,
barb it may be a software one. check for infections and otherwise repair using recovery console with boot cdDoes the computer tell you anything else when it FAILS to create the restore point? It should give you a reason for the failed restore.

Things to do before you try to create a restore point:

    MAKE sure that System Restore is enabled on the drives where you want System Restore enabled.
    Make sure that you have sufficient disk space on all the drives where System Restore is enabled.
    Try create a System Restore point manually and make a note of the Error MESSAGE you get. If you don't get one, check if one has been      created or not.

You can try:

    Open up the Start Menu
    Right-click on Computer
    select Properties
    Click on the Advanced system settings
    Select the System Protection tab
    In System Restore section click Create button
    Give the name if you want and click Create

That should create a restore point.

If your still having ISSUES:

Type eventvwr.msc /s in Start Menu Search Box & hit Enter to open the Event Viewer. Double-click on Applications & Services Logs and see if you are able to evaluate the event description or the CAUSE of problem.

AND/OR

Type Services in Start Menu Search Box, hit Enter. Make sure that the Volume Shadow Copy Service is Running and set on Automatic. If the Status of System Restore Service is not Started, Start it. Also set it on Automatic if it is not. A reboot may be required. Reconfirm again, and now try.

Reply with what you get.

Hope that helps. 



thankyou I will give it a try and get back to you.
thanks,
Barb

I have been looking at versions of windows 7 on ebay and have a few questions. 
1) An OEM version on ebay said it is not as easy to install as a retail version and requires someone with more than average computer knowledge to install.  What does this mean?
2)  I've been wanting to upgrade to a 64 bit OS.  Would I still be able to run 32 bit programs with windows 7-64?
3) What are the known problems so far with installing and operating windows 7?
4)  I usually wait at least a year after an OS comes out to buy one.  Would that be wise concerning windows 7? Quote

1. When they wrap a pretty plastic box around an OEM disc, they call it retail.

an OEM license differs quite significantly from a Retail License.

Well, ONE of my friends has Windows 7, and was recently trying to install GNU Unifont, but to no avail. ( http://unifoundry.com/unifont.html )

I  decided to help, so I have them upload the file to my Linux box,

Code: [Select]$ file uni/unifont-5.1.20080907.ttf
uni/unifont-5.1.20080907.ttf: TrueType font data

Then I download it to this XP box, check it in the font viewer, try installing it, it doesn't install here either.
The MD5 of the file is 01a808b76cc0f50e065bc5ddce539d5d

Anything to try? (XP is not concerned with the font right now, FOCUS should be Windows 7)

What I'm told they tried:
* Copy/paste into font folder
* Manual addition of registry keys
* Logout/Login

What is INTERESTING is that they said they renamed some fonts (I don't KNOW if the renaming was as in the filename or internal name), and Windows didn't seem to notice.

When i try to type at symbol all i get is 2 or "
If you explain what you are trying to achieve and what you are actually doing, someone might be able to help. Your QUESTION is perfectly clear, don't WORRY about the above post. Did this just start or has it always been this way? Does it happen in all applications or just one? Does the same thing happen in safe mode?it just happened . i was about to send an email to a new site and it showed up incorrectly . Have you tried rebooting? Please answer the rest of my questions.i have restarted and still same problem . I worry that it is something that i have stupidly pressed as i am quite an amateur on computers . About 1 hour before the problem arose it was working fine """2222 . Just checking and as you can see the problem still exists .  Quote from: Allan on January 18, 2012, 05:58:13 AM

Your question is perfectly clear, don't worry about the above post. Did this just start or has it always been this way? Does it happen in all applications or just one? Does the same thing happen in safe mode?

Can you post what symbols or keys you want to input? Do you mean key? If yes, then hold the shift key and press 2.

I moved files from an old computer with Windows XP to a new computer with Windows 7 and I can't open those ENDING in “wps.” When I try to open them the Adobe Reader X page opens and shows a window saying:
 
“Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.wps' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged” etc.

The computer, a Dell XPS 8300 has Microsoft Word Starter preloaded on it but no purchased Word programs. Is there a way I can open these files? I am a complete novice.

This is a 'word works' file. If you have 'word' on the win7 computer you can probably open it by downloading the works converter... looking for link... 


BETTER still

I am using Windows Vista Home Basic  32 bits.  I use Yahoo mail and am getting a lot of SPAMS.  Thinking Hotmail might be better I tried to get it.  I found a place to download Hotmail, which I did.  I followed the procedure and it downloaded.  I do not know where it went.  I know I have it someplace because I can send a message to my address in Hotmail and it goes there.   I go to Yahoo mail and search "Hotmail" and there is my message.  My question is where is my Hotmail and how do I delete hotmail as I want to stay with Yahoo mail.  Any help will be appreciated but please keep it as simple as possible as I am not too smart.     Thanks    Bob    Quote from: Bobh on January 17, 2012, 09:46:59 AM

I checked the add/remove and did not find it so I suppose I never had hot mail. 

I had to use search to find them.

I wanna change my DVD drive's letter from E to K to make my hard disk drive's PARTITIONS in alphabetic order. ex: C , D, E ... & at the end my DVD drive "J". But every time i want to do change my DVD Drive's letter (right click on copmuter ICON>MANAGE>Disk Managment> change drive letter) windows shows an error box that says : " Some problems that rely on drive letters might nor run correctly. Do you want to continue? " what should i do ?

My Hard disk drives are : C, D, F, G, H, I, J

My DVD Drive : E

It drives me crazy ! Help me please !First, that's not an "error box" it's a warning and a question. Second, it doesn't say "some problems" it says "some programs". If you are GOING to post a question please try to get all of the information you provide right otherwise the person responding may GIVE you bad information.

If you want to change the drive letter go ahead and click on "yes"tnx allan! your right ! my fault ! I'm not a native speaker, but I try to do my best from now on ! again thank you !You're welcome.

Slow file COPY when there are many files from revo drive to usb 3 drives (several usb 3 flash drives brand new). Why? I recieve about 5MB per second when copying 13,000 files to the drive all different size files and the total size transfered is about 7GB. Why do I get 5MB per second?

I get 180MB/sec average from revo to SSD (same files)
I also get 50MB/sec from revo to USB3 Hard drive (not flash drive) (same files)
LASTLY I get 30-50MB/sec from same flash drives when copying a smaller amount of files.
Is it something to do with FAT32 file system on a flash drive with many files?

[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]try the Tera Copy software and see if it does any better for you.nope still 5MB/sec...aroundI think 5MBps is pretty average for a USB stick. Don't expect anything faster unless you bought a high-end model.It is a high end model. it says its read is 54MB/SEC
It says its Write is 20MB/sec

My ACTUAL write is 5MB/sec with that amount of files. My actual write SPEED with one big file is about 40MB/sec the highest.

Why does the speed lower if I have many files? Quote

It says its Write is 20MB/sec

i have windows vista and i logged into safe mode for 5 minutes logged back out tried to go into normal mode but it kept saying the user profile service failed the log on I tried many online solutions but none seem to work any new ideas?
How long has this been happening?since sunday at 4 am central TIME Quote from: saicumysterious on January 14, 2012, 04:10:26 PM

I tried many online solutions but none seem to work any new ideas?

Well, my desktop computer has been freezing quite often as of late, and I have yet to see the blue screen of death, or any error messages... I searched AROUND the forum but couldn't really find a problem too similar to mine... My general computer knowledge is average at best, so headaches may ensue!

My computer started freezing up about a week ago and other than that it's been fine... I suspect there is a hardware issue, mostly because I've used this computer for about 5 years now, and there have been times I've left it on for over a week...

The screen will randomly freeze, all keyboard and mouse control is lost, and any sound that played at the time of the freeze is repeated like a broken record... I have to hold the power button down until it turns off, then I have to choose whether or not I want to run it in safe mode when I turn it back on... I have not chosen safe mode yet, and I find no error messages or anything like that...

I use Microsoft Security Essentials for protecting my computer, so I updated it and then did a quick scan not long ago... The scan didn't find any problems, and when I attempted a full scan of my computer it froze before the scan could finish... I don't recall visiting any suspicious websites or doing something that might infect my computer when it started freezing, but who knows...

I have also checked Device MANAGER for any red X's or yellow ! signs, and have found no red X's and only one yellow sign... The ! sign is a network adapter and the device status is: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" I doubt that has anything to do with my problem...

The freezing seems to happen more often when I'm running many programs at once, especially games... I have however had it freeze while LEAVING it on with no windows open... The computer is usually quiet with a humming sound, so I assume at least one fan is working fine... I recently cleaned up the outer parts of the computer with a paper towel to remove all of the dust, which I probably don't do often enough...

I should also mention that I personally opened up my computer to install more RAM a few months ago, and everything seemed to work fine... I visited www.crucial.com to scan my computer for the right choice of RAM to buy, then bought it from the same website...

That about sums it up, I'm willing to try just about anything with my computer to solve this problem, so any and all help is appreciated!

Here is some of my computer information:

Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 2
Dell - Inspiron 530
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E4400 2.00GHz
3GB of RAM
32-bit OS

My C: hard drive has 97.3GB free out of 288GB.
I use NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS, version 260.99.
For protection, I use Microsoft Security Essentials.

(I'm not sure if that is enough information so just ask me to post more about something specific if need be.)I've had this issue myself on a number of machines.

Every time, it turned out to be disk problems. Your Mileage May Vary, of course.

1. Start->Run, "cmd"
2. chkdsk C: /r   at the prompt

tell it yes to it's question to unmount, then yes when it says effectively "I can't do it captain" and asks if you want to schedule it when you restart; then reboot.

The scan can take a rather long time so make sure you have something else to do for a few hours. Alright, I did the scan... CMD never asked me to unmount anything, it just said "The type of the file system is NTFS. Cannot lock current drive." Then it asked about scanning when I restart... Do you need info about the scan or something?No, not really. just let it run. It will either find issues (and hopefully resolve them) or not. In the former case with any LUCK it will stop freezing on you.Well nothing has really seemed to change, and my computer did freeze again while running many game clients... I've been using safe mode with networking a bit now and it hasn't frozen yet while in safe mode... Also, the last 3 times I tried to update Microsoft Security Essentials, my computer immediately froze during the update... Is there anything else I could try? (By the way, thanks for the help so far!)well, assuming you used /r with chkdsk, all I can think of (and it working fine in safe mode points to it as well) would be drivers, but I can't think of a good way to determine which one... (although if safe mode with networking works we can probably eliminate the network driver...)Yea I typed "chkdsk C: /r" into CMD... Anyways, I left my computer on doing a full security scan in safe mode with networking and it froze, so I guess safe mode isn't as safe as I thought... I might try to do another disk scan, because I tried to update Security Essentials right after the scan and it froze up, so maybe it didn't even get the chance to do anything?

Yes the scan did complete after I rebooted, but my computer only lasted about 5 minutes before freezing again...

The ! sign is a network adapter and the device status is: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

safe mode with networking and it froze

I'm confused.
How many network adapters do you have?
Can you post a screenshot of device manager? Please expand network adapters in the screenshot.

Windows 7, 64-bit. All wireless network.

Fine last night, no reboot, no internet today.

Shows connected in system tray, but with that EXCLAMATION mark. Will not connect to wireless router's IP address in browsers.

The other machine on the network - this one - connects just fine.

Rebooted, got "Windows cannot find 1683526.exe'. Make sure you typed the name CORRECTLY, and then try again."

Did a System restore to yesterday morning, same results.

Can't find "1683526.exe" on the Google.

Suggestions?

Routers are behind and under furniture, so haven't tried a wired connection yet.Given there was no reference to it on Google, assume that it is malware.
Can you boot in sage mode?
Has it ever been on the Internet for long periods? Like overnight?
Do you use WEP on any  wireless routers?
Do your neighbors have wireless routers?
Have you ever used any USB device other that a keyboard or mouse that came with the machine?
Are you thee only person that uses this computer? Do you log in with a password?You may have a corrupted registry due to an infection. Please post the logs needed by following the guidelines in the Viruses and Spyware section.Didn't try safe mode yet - (If I could boot in "sage" mode, I wouldn't need you guys, now, would I?)

Wife and I use computer.

Yes on WEP also router is MAC-restricted.

USB Hard drives and sticks occasionally plugged in, but only I have access to the hard drives, and the sticks I've used have been in my control for months.

Didn't have time for Spybot before POSTING, will try that and Safe and see what happens.

Thanks... Didn't know if anyone had ever seen an .exe like that before.Well it's definetely not a Windows file so some other app is making a call tio the OS for it...most likely you are infected...
Update all your protection apps and run the scans overnite...
Post back with a list of which ones you use currently...AVG and Spybot are the residents; I ran a Kaspersky online scan on Monday or Tuesday (but that doesn't HELP with a Friday infection, I know)...Do them all again after updates...
Then Dload install update and run Malwarebytes...let it FIX whatever it finds.Malwarebytes - that's a new one. Will check it out.

Need to get this done before the Giants game!NOTE: There is a Free and paid ver....the Free should be fine for now...

Basically, I was running windows developer preview and I WANTED to RESTORE my system to an earlier restore point, THEREFORE I started the restore process. However, the restore process was taking too long, so I cancelled the restore process and restarted my PC. When my pc restarted it gave me an error message: Bootim.exe - system error shelll32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Wghat should i do? P.S. - i have no recovery disks and i am not willing to buy any
THIS IS URGENT!

Did you format over your old windows when installing Preview? Quote from: lostcoast on January 22, 2012, 09:31:05 AM

Did you format over your old windows when installing Preview?

and you want to go back to old windows version or what?   if so get restore or install disks for your old version.

what ISO file...you need to be more specific..

I have the Acer Aspire Notebook 5734Z-4725. I have had the black screen with the USB sound going off. I've been getting a pop up saying I can USE a faster port but CLOSE it because I don't know about ports and don't want to screw up my computer and the pop up notice saying the camera is in use. I have deinstalled/reinstalled the driver. I have also done a system restore on the computer which set it back to factory settings that didn't work. As far as I can tell it is the same driver. SOMETIMES it seems to be working fine like the video will work but this is very rare and if I move my computer it puts my webcam back to a black screen. My webcam doesn't work with skype, ooVoo, msn, yahoo nothing.please help i'm so tired of it not working it has been like this over a month i have been on the internet for hours looking for a solution. Do you have a recovery option to reinstall the driver. NOTE : This image is on a Sony Vaio laptop but more likely SIMILAR.

Make sure you choose the similar feature if available and not use the restore to factory default as shown.

Hello all!  This trouble may be in the wrong forum area.  I didn't KNOW where to put it.

Well, BAH!  I HAD a great Dell Insperon Tower UNTIL it crashed and I took it to be fixed

They put in a year 2002 hard drive and left me to CONFIGURE and download needed programs!

Of course Adobe products installed nicely - they have that download manager.

I TRIED downloading a download manager and after 10 tries, got it but it doesn't
help me.

In FACT it downloads the program with the developer's name as one of my users!

I'm desperate to download Paint.Net.  I would even go online to use it but I
can't find an online site that has it.

Oh boy!, I'm begging for help!  Thanks for any clues you have!What DLoad manager is this ? ?
If it does that i would NOT recommend it at all...FireFox browser has a solid DLoad manager built in.

As to Paint.net here is the Link

You will have to install the .net framework it asks for the 1st time you use it...

Recently my computer will reboot on its own, even when it is idle. It doesn't happen a lot, but I am concerned about it. I went to the Event Viewer and it seems to be a Bug Check. I googled the debugging message which I didn't understand. I only learned about how over my head problems with dump files are.     My computer has a i7-2600 CPU, 8 gigs of ram, AMD Radeon HD 6770 1 gig ram video card and running Windows 7 Home Premium.

This is the message from the Event Viewer:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x0000007f (0x0000000000000008, 0x0000000080050031, 0x00000000000406f8, 0xfffff88004ab3ec3). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 010712-16348-01.

I will appreciate any help I can get in locating the problem causing the computer to reboot. By the way the only memory dump I could find in Windows was minidump and it won't let me access it.

One of three types of problems occurred in kernel-mode: (1) Hardware failures. (2) Software problems. (3) A bound trap (i.e., a condition that the kernel is not allowed to have or intercept). Hardware failures are the most common cause (many dozen KB articles exist for this error referencing specific hardware failures) and, of these, memory hardware failures are the most common.

Who else uses this PC ? ?
Someone has been foolin around with readyboost...which is a snake oil approach of using a USB stik to increase performance...
Somehow they have buggered it and it's causing these errors...that is if MemTest gave you a clean bill of health...

ReadyBoot, not ReadyBoost.

What should I do from here? 
DISABLE any and all power management (suspend, hibernate, etc) that you have enabled and see if the problem goes away.

Basically the cause is a badly written driver for a USB DEVICE, usually it's caused by such a driver not being properly written to work with power management events. Another thing you could try is not using some of your USB devices; things like MP3 players, cellphones, etc, or trying to correlate which devices you have plugged in with when you get the bugcheck. It's also possible that you have a hardware problem with your USB hub, but that is quite unlikely and the problem is too localized to one SPECIFIC SOFTWARE cause.When I saw the multiple USB things, I figured it had something to do with that.  From what I can recall, it mostly happens when we plug in an iphone... so there is an issue with avoiding plugging that in, because of syncing and software updates from apple.  Do I need to upade the USB driver?  And if so, where do I go to do that?

I have win7. and SEE a lot of things on the net about if you KEEP it on BASIC Style  or  Clasic Style  it wont use as mutch memory.

But is it Basic  or  Clasic  I FORGET?

I installed Outlook 2003 on my new Windows 7 COMPUTER. 

When I opened it, it asked for me to set up the accounts and I made the mistake of closing out of it before finishing. 

Now I get two boxes that come up-one says Microsoft OFFICE Outlook has stopped working-A problem caused the program to stop....windows will close the program. and also top box says Configuring Outlook Accounts.  but I have to close it.

 I uninstalled, cleaned the cache, restarted computer and reinstalled.  Still no luck.  All other programs on the disc work.  Should I have installed it to the program folder that was not the 64bit?

What do I do?SuzanG, Please provide some more information about your system.  Why did you not FINISH doing the setup as the program requested?

Have you read this?
Windows 7 64 bit & Outlook 2003
If not, please do. You must use compatibly mode.For 2 years I have been running Office 2003 Professional on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit (Access, Powerpoint, Publisher, WORD, Excel, Outlook) and none of them need COMPATIBILITY mode. I have also sucessfully installed Office 2003 Service Pack 3, and I have installed all these without any problems or compatibility issues...

Hello all. This is a friends computer that he has asked me to take a look at. He purchased it at Walmart 13 months ago, and is no longer covered under warranty as I understand it. The problem started a few days after installing Pro Tools. When you started the computer it went through the emachines logo screen, to the windows is starting screen, and right after the first red dot appeared it would freeze. After waiting hours to see if it would move we decided to reformat the drive. That didn't solve anything and was a bad idea in RETROSPECT. So I put the hard drive into my computer and re installed windows 7 using my disc. However, this has not solved the problem and it still occurs in the emachine. I've also tried refitting all the cables and air-dusted around the heatsink and mobo.
If you try to enter in safe mode, use a windows disc, or run Ubuntu off usb it all freezes eventually. So I'm wondering if it's a power issue or perhaps the CPU.

Computer Specs:
eMachines model #EL1850G-42W
Processor: Intel Celeron E3400 2.60GHz
Memory: 2GB DDR3 SDRAM
Hard Drive: 320GB 7200rpm SATA
OP Drive: DVD SuperMulti drive
Graphics: Integrated Intel GMA X4500HD
Power Supply: 220W

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Yes. formatting the hard drive was a bad idea. The version of Windows 7 on that machine was for just that machine.

Please elaborate. Ubuntu can run from the CD or can be installed on the hard drive. Which did you do?

Why did you have to swap the hard drive into your computer to install? Does his not have a CD drive?

Did you get any errors during the install?

Try this:
Boot to the Ubuntu live USB and hold down the shift key as it's starting. This will bring up more boot options. Choose test memory. This will take a very long time to run. Report back if it finds any errors.

Took your advise and ran a diagnostic tool. I used Drive Fitness Test that I found on Hiatchi's website, and it came back with no errors (Disposition Code 0x00).

"Small Form Factor".

The CURSOR line and text line both disappear sometimes while I'm typing.

Hello, I have a slight problem with my new upgraded memory. I upgraded my 4GB RAM laptop to 8GB.

As you can see there, my cached option is using ALL my memory, meaning there is no FREE memory left. This is leaving my laptop running like crap/slow.

I have attached a picture of my task manager, on the performance tab.

Here is my spec:

HP G62 laptop
AMD Turion II P520 Dual-Core processor
8 GB RAM
AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
Windows 7 64bit Home Pre.

Thanks

[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]Have you tired going into your "start" menu and disabling all but the essential PROGRAMS running at start-up? After doing this you can reintroduce them one at a time to determine which program is causing the issue. truenorth Hi TrueNorth. I disabled all start-up programs as I factory restored my laptop, deleted all softwares which I will not use and whatnot. No program is using any memory (programs which are installed that is). After doing all this, the memory was fine, I installed AVG free and still fine.

What I can see from this is that windows updates is killing my memory in svchost.exe. So turned it so it checks but doesnt install updates and the memory seems fine.

Basically, Windows updates is the huge problem.

Now, I have another problem. After running memtest86 for around 5-6 hours, it found around over 1 million errors? I researched this and it seems to be that my motherboard is struggling with the max RAM upgrade. However, my question is that if my motherboard is struggling with the RAM upgrade, will this affect RAM performance?In trying to get a handle on your issue i have read quite a number of reviews on your laptop (well what i assume is your laptop). There seem to be a number of models of the G62. I was not able to find any reference to the option to upgrade the ram to 8gb so i assume that you did determine that it could be done before you did the upgrade. I am wondering what it was that prompted you to go from 4-8gb/ What were your desires for changed performance and based on what deficiency that you had been experiencing with 4. The reason i ask that is because it was a common report in ALL the reviews (regardless of the model) that they all suffered from trying to do intensive tasks such as games. It is in my opinion a good idea to change your windows update to manual from auto for a variety of reasons. In what manner (size and number) are the 8 gb of ram installed in? Is it all being displayed as available (subject of course to the demands of hardware components)?
 Does this statement reflect  the current situation perhaps as a result of acting upon my earlier suggestion ( what i'm wondering here is has the situation improved since your original post)?"I disabled all start-up programs as I factory restored my laptop, deleted all softwares which I will not use and whatnot. No program is using any memory (programs which are installed that is). After doing all this, the memory was fine, I installed AVG free and still fine." truenorthHi Truenorth, its the g62 - A30SA model. Yes, I looked what the max upgrade was on the laptop before buying.

The reason for upgrading is because the amount of work I am doing, I edit photos, websites, listen to music and much more, so multi-tasking is a big thing here. The performance has been increased with no slow down when several softwares are open.

But the only thing which is annoying me is memtest86 is giving me over 1 million errors. These errors are telling me that my motherboard or PSU is either failing or my RAM is to much to handle.

However, figuring out the memory problem was my main issue and now solved. For the memtest86 errors, I will just ignore them because no errors are found in the O/S.

Thanks anyways.Well it's silly to ignore MemTest because if it reports any errors at all you have a bad STIK(s) of RAM...
Your issues will continue until it's replaced.I totally agree with patio's comments.Which by the way was where i was headed when i was inquiring re the size and disbursement of the ram in the computer. That is to say i was going to have you try and determine which one(s) are causing the issue. If a recently installed ram can be found to be at the root of this then if the purchase was recent it ought to be able to be returned and a replacement procured. So  if you want to go further (which i do recommend you should) then if you know what to do then i urge you to do it. If not we can assist you with that--but again i would NOT ignore it. truenorthMemory allocation looks normal for Win7-64
It also says you have 6GB available.  Free memory does no good unless it's being used.

If MemTest is reporting errors, remove the 1 stick & run again.  then swap sticks to see if 1 is bad & not the other.I will do a memtest86 test on each RAM stick, around 5 passes will do.

I did some other tests and surprisingly it passed on the memory side. My personal option is that as the motherboard has maximum RAM inserted, its struggling with the power, meaning errors on the motherboard. The memtest86 does say it tests memory and motherboard, thats why I used several other programs to determine if its the memory or not.
Also, some people are SAYING the PSU isn't strong enough, I believe they are talking about a desktop and not laptop (people never read).

If it is the motherboard struggling, would you think its best to have a 6GB RAM instead of 8GB?Change size of VIRTUAL Memory to System Managed.
Here's my HP notebook for reference.
I suspect the new memory module is not the same specs as the original.

When I bought my computer, it came with Windows Vista and a free upgrade to Windows 7 - the 64-bit version.

I took my computer in to repair a while ago and, EVER since, my computer has SAID that only 3 GB of my ram was usable out of 6 GB. I've just found out that the repair shop REINSTALLED windows 7 but the 32-bit version and that I need to get my 64-bit version back. So, I got my "upgrade kit" and tried to reinstall windows 7 but it only lets me do phase 3 of the upgrade process (which is to restore files). It won't let me get my 64-bit version (phases 1 and 2).

How do I get my 64-bit version of windows 7 back? If I have the code, can I get it online somewhere? I have 2 CDs: a Packard Bell Upgrade Media and a Microsoft Windows Upgrade Media. I understand that I might lose data, but I can reinstall all my games. I just need my ram back to be able to play them...What do you mean it "came with Vista"? Did it have Vista installed and then you ran a Windows 7 upgrade disk? If so, I think you will have to get it back to its first condition before you can run the upgrade. Did you get a recovery disk? If not, you may have to order one from the computer maker. Calling their customer service number would be a good first step. Also you may have a valid complaint against the repair shop.




Erias is right.
You must complaint to repair shop.
Since the shop FORMATTED the hard drive to install windows 7 32-bit and erase the partition that contain Windows Vista 64-bit your out of luck, with the CD's or DVD's you have.

The only way to get it back to Windows 7 64-bit, is to order the full restore CD's or DVD's from manufacture , since the ones that come with the computer are just the drivers and programs, but it doesn't include the Operating System.
From there just upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit.

But the easiest way to get it back to Windows 7 64-bit is to get the Full Copy of Windows 7 64-bit from somewhere and just install the drivers and programs you want and your done.I disagree...
The Vista Restore partition (hidden) is probably still on the PC...
He can do the Restore...then re-run the Upgrade pack choosing 64Bit in Setup.

I have win 7. 64 BIT and a Canon FlatBed Scaner that works just with win xp and under.

I can not install my TWAIN DRIVERS onto win 7. so my scanner wont work at all.

I just found ViewScan  and it works with my scanner and scanns good.
But you have to Buy it to GET rid of the watter marks.

But I did not want to buy it it would be almost the same price as a NEW scanner.

Is there any free programs like ViewScan?

I SEE on the net some people just keep ViewScan installed but use another Scanning program.
Is there any other free scanning programs?

I have win 7. and I turned off the Visual Effects in the Advanced Options and all works good and looks good.

I put a check in the last 4. Box and unchecked everything.

But now there is on thing that I lost.

When you put the Mouse over a Dropdown Menu and go down the list every Item that the Mouse did go on in any Menu would be HIGHLIGHTED Blue or whatever color.

How do I just turn this on?I am very sorry I do not think I told everything in the right way in my Post.

I have Win7. Home 64 Bit and 4. GB of RAM and a Dual Core AMD Athlone CPU.

I want to stop some of the Visaul Effects from RUNNING in Win7. because I don't need them.

So I Right click My Computer then click Properties then click Advanced System Settings.

Then I click the Advanced Tab and on this screen were it says Performance I go to the right of it and click Settings Tab.

On this screen I put a Dot in the Box that says Custtom.

Then I Un Check the things I don't need or wont.

I only keep and want the lest 4. Options so I keep the last 4. Box checked.

I click Apply and then Ok then Log Off then Log On.

When I go back into the same place to check the settings it has just the last 2. with a check in the Box.

And this happens even if I pick say the first 3. Options or every other Option.

It wont keep my settings I pick.

I am under an account woith Administrator rights and it sould work. But I wander if I sould be in the Real Administrator Account.

Please HELP

For the past couple days I have not been able to OPEN any explorer windows. For example if I open up my documents the window appears and I can see my desktop through the window but takes up to a half hour to actually open. Then If I click on something the little circle appears as if its loading to open it and sometimes it will open after a fifteen min. and other times it will not open at all.
 I have ran 4 different trojan virus etc. software and came up with a NOTHING. It said my system is clean and I have no idea what to do. If I go to the start menu to do a system restore in my accessories a little magnifying glass just sits on the side of the option and does not allow me to open anything. I opened everything in safe mode to do a system restore but it said the only restore point was from yesterday...I feel like going mad. 

All of my photos and files from 3 years are on my PC and I am fearful to lose them. My internet seems to be working as usual as are programs. I feel at a loss and am trying to move my valuables onto my external hard drive but again the windows are not even opening for me to do so. PLEASE HELP. I don't have a clue what do do NEXT..... thanks in advance Quote

What led up to this (new sw, hw, virus, etc)? These thing don't just happen spontaneously
i just bought my laptop used and it came with all SORTS of problems..this being ONE of them...so i dont know what started it...?

Presently I'm using windows xp media center edition service pack 2. Now I want to install windows 7 on my machine. Can it increase the performance on my machine when comparing to xp ?

My system specifications are....

Acer aspire 4720 notebook

Intel core 2 duo 1.5GHz processor
160 GB HDD
1 GB RAM
Windows 7 is more graphics intensive than Windows XP, so I don't see how INSTALLING it on your laptop will improve the performance of the computer.  Windows 7 will easily install onto your laptop, but I wouldn't expect to see any significant performance IMPROVEMENTS.   

According to this, you just barely meet the REQUIREMENTS for the ram, although these specifications may be just recommended because VISTA would work with only a half a gigabyte, and I've used the beta version of Win7 with only a half a Gigabyte. 
I think the aero interface is what requires the extra half a gigabyte..

Is it easy to migrate softwares from XP to WINDOWS 7 and what is the procedure?
will it effect on the performance
FYI - check the blogs/forums...

Many people ask about migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7, so I thought I would share an excerpt from the Engineering Windows 7 blog:

There's no change here to the plan as has been discussed on many forums.  We REALIZED at the start of this project that the “upgrade” from XP would not be an experience we think would yield the best results. There are simply too many changes in how PCs have been configured (applets, hardware support, driver model, etc.) that having all of that support carry forth to Windows 7 would not be nearly as high quality as a clean install. This is something many of you know and already practice. We do provide support for moving FILES and settings and will prompt at setup time, but applications will need to be reinstalled. We know that for a set of customers this tradeoff seems less than perfect, but we think the upfront time is well worth it.

If you have any questions about the specifics of performing a clean install (also known as a CUSTOM install) or migrating user settings, please ask your questions in a new thread in this forum.

Sincerely,

-Tony Mann
No upgrade path from XP to 7...
You could try the FAST ( files and settings transfer wizard ) but don't take this as a recommendation.Honestly, I'd just do a clean install. There's no upgrade path from Xp to 7.

I recently upgraded vista to seven and even before I was getting a blue screen but was eventually able to boot up all the way. Now I am getting a blue screen like before but am not able to get booted, the closest I COME is getting to the desktop but before it can load COMPLETELY I get the blue screen. This is happening on a Dell 1737 laptop. Below you will find the results from BlueScreenView.
