Solve : How to delete this system-created backup folder?? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>(XP-SP3 system)<br/>The user (which is not me) has tried to install Vista, and he did something wrong. (not important).<br/>During this procedure, the system made a large backup folder (C:\My Backup --- date time).<br/><br/>Now, I have installed Vista properly in a separate partition thus creating a dual-boot system. This all works fine.<br/>However, we still have this large folder My backup and are not able to delete it as the system tells us that we do not have the proper authorization. <br/>We have tried:<br/>- normal delete<br/>- Command mode (DOS)<br/>- Safe mode as administrator<br/>- From Vista<br/>- With the program FileAssassin<br/>Nothing works. We have also tried to change the authorization, but this is not allowed either.<br/><br/>Has anyone a solution, other than formatting the C-disc and re-installing XP?What are the Attributes of the folder? (R/click folder>Properties)<br/><br/>Read-only (partial). (I did try to change this but that is not possible either)<br/>In advanced only the 2nd box is "on" (indexing service)<br/><br/>you may have to take control of the folder before you can make permissions changes.<br/><br/>go back to the properties and than security and click advanced and open the owner tab. you should be able to take ownership from there....<br/><br/> Quote from: Spoiler on June 12, 2008, 08:50:28 AM</p><blockquote>you may have to take control of the folder before you can make permissions changes.<br/>go back to the properties and than security and click advanced and open the owner tab. you should be able to take ownership from there....<br/></blockquote> <br/>I tried that but it won't allow that either, not even as Administrator in safe mode.<br/>The ownership is with some "S-numbers" account that Vista created in XP during the failed upgrade. I don't <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/know-534065" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about KNOW">KNOW</a> if this will be much help but the other day my friend came to me with a similar problem. He couldn't delete a bunch temporary files beacuse it said he didn't have the right administrative privileges or something like that.<br/>All I did was boot into Safe Mode and I could delete them.

Next, I changed the attributes to give the new owner (me) full control over the folder and its subfolders.<br/>Then, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/finally-461212" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FINALLY">FINALLY</a>, I was able to delete the folder.<br/><br/>Thanks for all support. <br/><br/>Nice Movie!

Solve : Vista questions? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I have the ability to buy Vista Business for $24 for a DVD, or free DL, but I have learned over time to go with a CD/DVD. I have thought about getting it but I would rather have Home Premium/Ultimate because of the media center. I also was going to use 64-bit version. <br/><br/>The questions I have are: is there a real difference between Vista Business/Home Premium/Ultimate and is it better to go with the 64- or 32-bit? Or should I just wait till the next big thing? <br/><br/>I have a Core 2 E6600 with a 780i mobo. The main uses for my <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/computer-243299" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPUTER">COMPUTER</a> are gaming, media (DVD/TV/Movie watching and music) and office <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/work-20377" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORK">WORK</a>.<br/><br/>Thanks.<br/>Well i would say the truly "next big thing" will be windows 7(or is it 2009?) which is supposed to come out late next year...... i wouldnt wait for that. 64-bit recognizes more RAM than the 32-bit.I am aware the 64-bit can access 8 Gb of RAM but what I want to know is does 32-bit software run O.K. or better in 64-bit (I doubt it)? Or will I still be able to play some older games in Vista 64?As far as i know, some programs(like antiviruses) will not run on the 64-bit. Thats all i really know of that wont work, but thats the only one i have had to download on a 64-bit system. So i guess in short, no, 64 bit wont run all that 32 bit will.First I would say that if you are able to get this for $24.00 something is wrong.<br/><br/>Next...AVG puts out a security center program that is 64 bit and it has anti virus software with it.<br/><br/>Last all 64 bit windows can run about 95 % of the 32 bit software. The real problems you will run into is getting drivers for your hardware. If your "got to have it" hardware doesn't have 64 bit drivers you may not ever get it to work.<br/><br/>The Vista Business for $24 is from my university. Our university has a partnership with MS so we can get discounted software. I could have bought Word 07 Ultimate for $50 as well as other software. It is not pirated and it is perfectly legal. As far as my hardware is concerned, I have looked up most of the drivers and all seem to have Vista 64-bit drivers. Quote</p><blockquote>32-bit software run O.K. or better in 64-bit (I doubt it)?</blockquote> It pretty much runs the same.<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>Or should I just wait till the next big thing? </blockquote> Peronally, I would go for 'the next big thing', A.K.A. Windows 7.<br/><br/>What are you planning on doing on this new Vista? Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on June 17, 2008, 07:50:16 AM<blockquote> Quote<blockquote>What are you planning on doing on this new Vista?<br/></blockquote> <br/>If you mean Windows 7 then the same thing as my first post, mainly gaming, media, and office work. In that order of importance. I mainly wanted to up grade from XP for Direct X 10, the ability to use my 64-bit hardware as 64-bit, and for security. Plus Aero looks cool.</blockquote> Vista X64 can run almost all 32 bit software, and any software specifically made for X64 will run faster too.<br/>It can recognize more RAM than the X86 versions too which is good for upgradeability.<br/>I will however say that not all hardware will work, if you don't have a signed driver then <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/forget-457969" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FORGET">FORGET</a> it if you install SP1 as it will never install. Just make 100% sure.<br/>Some games will also run faster under 64-bit - personally I would go for the X64 version, but I know many will disagree.<br/>I would also say however that if you're satisfied with XP personally I would stick with it. But then again, I am a Vista-basher - one with reasons however, not just mindless I-hate-MS stuff.The price is right...<br/>If you have located EVERY driver for your system then i see no <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/aeuroereason-239555" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REASON">REASON</a> not to go for it.<br/>How much and what <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/type-238192" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TYPE">TYPE</a> memory do you have ? ?...that may need to be boosted.<br/>Other than that there is a list of compatible software <a href="http://www.iexbeta.com/wiki/index.php/Windows_Vista_Software_Compatibility_List">Compiled Here...</a>I have 4 Gb of OCZ DDR2 PC8500 1066 MHz with 5-5-5-15 timings.Then you're ready...Is there a big difference between Home Premium/Business/Ultimate or are they pretty much the same with minor differences?I found this. Pretty interesting.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_02.asp">http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_02.asp</a><br/>(scroll down until you see the tables)Thanks, I'm leaning toward Business, but I would like Movie Maker. According to <a href="http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_02.asp">http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_02.asp</a> Movie Maker is only on Basic, Premium and Ultimate but according to Wikipedia Movie MAker 2.6 is on every Vista edition. <br/><br/>Is that true? <br/><br/>I don't need HD and I don't want to pay for better movie makers because I don't use it enough.</body></html> | |

Solve : Outlook '07: Suddenly getting "Could not install the custom actions" error msg.? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hey, y'all.<br/><br/>This just started, and I don't know what the problem is--hopefully one of you does.<br/><br/>Whenever I try to do just about anything in Outlook, either with mail or the calendar, I get an error box that says, "Could not install the custom actions". Once I click the "OK" button, the process that was interrupted by the error message, e.g., maximizing a message from the preview <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/pane-1145994" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PANE">PANE</a>, adding a calendar item, etc., resumes as if nothing had gone wrong.<br/><br/>I've never instructed (or tried to instruct) Outlook to install any custom actions, so I'm really confused here. And I haven't done anything unusual with the laptop lately, save to have the cable internet tech hook me up to my new internet provider three days ago. Oh, I also ran a registry cleaner (RegSupreme) a few days ago, too. Could either of these have messed up my Outlook?<br/><br/>I'd appreciate any help that y'all could offer, even if the solution ultimately consists of either restoring my registry to a point prior to these strange occurrences or, the universe <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/forbid-457959" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FORBID">FORBID</a>, backing up all of my Outlook stuff and then uninstalling and reinstalling the program.<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/><br/>--yitzad<br/><br/>P.S.--In <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/case-240222" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CASE">CASE</a> this information helps, I'm working on a Dell Inspiron 1420, with Windows Vista.Read the last thread on the following URL:<br/><br/><a href="http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=618096">http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=618096</a><br/><br/>It's talking about "frmcache.dat" ....to stay on the safe side, don't delete the file...just rename it to .old or what ever just in case so you could rename it back if this will not fix your issue.<br/><br/>CheersThank you so, so <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/much-249971" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MUCH">MUCH</a>, piaaz! <br/><br/>The funniest thing happened in between my posting and your response.

Solve : computer can't recognze ethernet cable? |

After getting my Charter services back, it appears my computer can't recognize the ethernet cable and won't connect to the internet. I know it is not a problem with the cable itself because I am using it on my old computer right now.<br/><br/>I have tried unplugging the modem while <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/restarting-7326524" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RESTARTING">RESTARTING</a> the computer, disabling the ethernet and reenabling it, and resetting the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ip-14828" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IP">IP</a> address. None of this has helped. <br/><br/><br/>I have Windows Vista, by the way.I hate to tell you this, but a surge suppressor can't protect you from a direct lightning strike...only power surges...up to a certain point. Depends on the rating of the surge suppressor.<br/><br/>Anyway...<br/><br/>I'd recommend you turn everything off...unplug everything...and open the computer <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/case-240222" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CASE">CASE</a> to check for any fried components...<br/><br/>If the computer starts up fine...and you're able to use it...but still can't connect...it's possible the modem took the hit and may need to be replaced.<br/><br/>You also said the suppressor sparked...that may need to be reset or replaced, as well.The computer starts up fine and everything works. It's not the modem. I don't know how to open up the computer itself.<br/><br/>I just bought the thing last month at best buy and was going to take it to them if all else fails. They're obligated to do something within the first 90 days, right?

Solve : System won't start up?? |

I have tried to start in safe mode and go to an <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/earlier-963550" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EARLIER">EARLIER</a> date but this doesn't work either. Hello!<br/>What kind of clean up program did you use. <br/>Also, we need more info. >> Read this<br/><br/>I am kid of at a disadvantage as it's my sisters system and I cannot get into the system to find out all the information <br/>needed that your requesting and she doesn't know where the paperwork is. <br/>I know it was just recently purchase about one year ago, Windows Vista. I am not that familiar with PC's as I use a Mac, <br/>but I was trying to see if we could find out why this is happening. She just went to some kind of system program<br/>that allows you to clean up and free up disk space, and once it told her she could free up 1.3 gb of space, she selected<br/>it and when the system went to restart is wouldn't. <br/>The following error message is on the screen right now:<br/>"A <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/problem-25530" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROBLEM">PROBLEM</a> HAS BEEN DETECTED AND WINDOWS HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN TO PREVENT DAMAGES TO YOUR SYSTEM"<br/>"IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE SEEN THIS ERROR (WHICH IT WAS) RESTART YOUR COMPUTER, (WHICH SHE DID).

It keeps going back to this same message and safemode will not start?<br/>So, we are at a loss?<br/>I think you used the Disk Cleanup program and you've experienced what they call BSOD (or Blue Screen of Death)<br/>Have you done anything before this, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/asidebrbr-2445230" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ASIDE">ASIDE</a> from Diskcleanup?<br/>Have you installed anything, hardware/software?<br/><br/>Dont worry, there are many cool guys out here that can assist you with your problems. <br/><br/>Just keep us posted. Do you have the Vista OS disk?Yes, she did use the disk cleanup. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/nothing-581732" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NOTHING">NOTHING</a> was done before this. No new software was installed? So what should she do now as she lives in a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere...ha, Susanville, Ca. Oh and the warranty just expired 5 days ago too. She was calling Acer for help but missed the deadline.<br/>ThanksShe said the computer didn't come with any disks? It looks like her only option is to call her computer maker, and request Recovery DVDs. In most cases, they should send them to her free of charge.Okay. so after she receives these recovery disk and with the system in its current state, how does she install the restore? Will the system see the disk when she puts them in the drive? Those are bootable disks. If it won't boot from DVD, you have to check boot order in BIOS.I'm not that familiar with PC's, so excuse me for asking, but in case it doesn't boot, how do I "check boot order in BIOS"?You may want to let her know also that after she runs those Recovery CD's it will revert the system back to Day One status and all her data and any programs she has installed will be gone...<br/>If she has stuff she needs from there Post back and we'll instruct further.... Quote</p><blockquote>how do I "check boot order in BIOS"?</blockquote> When computer starts, you'll briefly see at the bottom of black screen something like:<br/><em>Press "some key" to enter setup</em><br/>Pressing "some key" will bring you to BIOS.<br/>Make sure, the boot order is set to:<br/>- floppy (if floppy drive is present)<br/>- CD drive<br/>- hard driveOkay, Once I get the disk I will see how it goes. I will also let her know about losing all the programs too. I'm sure we can re-install those. BUt if she needs to save I will check back. ThanksGood luck</body></html> | |

Solve : Help! My new customized computer won't boot up!? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I just received a customized computer and at first it worked fine. Then, after I copied my files from my old computer from an external hard drive onto the new one, it crashed. Now, it won't boot at all. I can only get it to power up by using the on/off switch on the back and it'll run about 2 seconds and die. Nothing. Here are some of the specs:<br/>ECS GeForce 7050SM-M V2.0 Motherboard, AMD Phenom 9850 AM2+Quad-Core CPU, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/4-238406" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 4">4</a> GB 667 MHz DDR2 PC300 Dual-Channel RAM Memory, 500 GB 7200RPM SATA2 Hard drive, 2 DVD drives, 1 floppy disk, nVidia GeForce 8600GT 1 BG DDR2 PCI Express Video Card. OS is Windows XP Home Edition. I've tried running it with the Windows installation disk in the CD-Rom drive and I went to the Microsoft website and downloaded onto floppy disk their bootup program. Nothing worked. Help!! Thanks. Did you just buy it...or was it given to you?<br/><br/>Curious...for warranty purposes, that is.What kind of files did you copy? <br/><br/>Did you try to copy a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/second-238031" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SECOND">SECOND</a> copy of an operating system onto the new computer?Some programs like Photoshop 3 and other software.

Nothing.</blockquote> <br/>Now if you bought it...and it's still under warranty...why not take it back to where you purchased it from...or call them and explain the situation.<br/><br/>It appears you have done nothing wrong...as far as I can tell. Sounds like a hardware failure.<br/><br/>Is it still under warranty? Quote<blockquote>I don't know how to copy a second copy of an operating system onto it because it won't boot. How do I do that?</blockquote> <br/>My apologies. You do not want to put another copy of an operating system on an external drive! I didn't mean to make you think that.

You'll nee to re-install the program - just the way you did on your old computer.<br/><br/>Good luck!By the looks of it could be a power supply problem</body></html> | |

If it's already FAT32 you may not have to...but for something that's gonna take 10 seconds and assure a clean slate i would do it...I borrowed my friend's windows anytime upgrade cd and it had repair tool.

Solve : 32 bit and 64 bit dual boot? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>i currently have vista ultimate 32 bit (x86). i am hoping to get a 64 bit (x64) version of vista installed on a different partition. i am about to upgrade my RAM to 4gb and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/want-1448756" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WANT">WANT</a> to actually be able to use it, however, i want to be able to keep the 32 bit version in case it goes wrong, and also so that i can transfer the files from the 32 bit version to a laptop, then from the laptop to the 64 bit OS.<br/>will this work? i have a new partition which is 27gb big (i can easily make it bigger if needed) which i think should be able to have the 64 bit version installed on.<br/>i also need to be able to basically revert back to how my pc is now (which is the idea of dual boot, so it shouldnt effect my other installation)<br/>please ask me if you need any more information... <br/>thanksYou can install the X64 OS on the other partition and it should work with no problems.<br/>I currently triple-boot.<br/>You won't see much more RAM with X64 than 32-bit by the way, as the X64 programming actually uses more RAM. Plus, Vista X64 requires signed drivers, this now cannot be disabled with SP1 so if you have any hardware using unsigned drivers they will NOT install.<br/>Also, files can be transferred directly from one OS to the other.i am just about to install SP1...<br/>i read about only signed drivers, thats why what i want to do is the dual boot and just see if it works, and then possibly use it only for specific applications... or if it works well i'd use it more and possibly remove the 32 bit version...<br/>is there any hack for the signed drivers? i'm guessing theres not but its worth a try...<br/>good to hear i can directly transfer files... does that mean i can access all my other hard drive files but i would have to install all the programs again on the 64 bit version?<br/><br/> Quote from: Calum on May 31, 2008, 08:25:27 AM</p><blockquote> Vista X64 requires signed drivers, this now cannot be disabled with SP1 so if you have any hardware using unsigned drivers they will NOT install. </blockquote> SP1 wouldnt automatically be installed for x64 i'm guessing, or i could possibly <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/uninstall-7273166" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about UNINSTALL">UNINSTALL</a> it.. if you mean there that SP1 disables it but it works if you dont have SP1?There are no hacks, trust me. I've been trying for a while to get Rivatuner to work, and there's no way round it.<br/>You'll be able to access both partitions with either OS, all you'll need to do to access, say, My Documents on the 32-bit version from the 64-bit version would be to go to the correct folder.<br/>Programs will need installing on the new OS, yes. And look out for 64-bit versions, they can offer better performance. 7-Zip especially showed a big boost for me.Actually if you have the option to select the boot HDD i'd highly suggest seperate HDD's for this setup...<br/>For some reason 64bit hated the fact it's smaller cousin was around when i did it on seperate partitions but is happy as Larry <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/since-644476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SINCE">SINCE</a> i re-did it on seperate drives...<br/>Just an idea.thanks, i'll report back possibly later tonight (its almost 4pm english time) after it's installed (i hope)...<br/>got some work to do, i'll install SP1 after that, then vista x64...<br/>should give my PC and hard drive a lovely workout...<br/><br/>and patio, i'm installing it on my faster SATA drive (over my small and puny IDE which currently has 32 bit) would that be ok?Certainly.<br/>I started out with a 160G Seagate IDE that had Vista 32...<br/>Then bought a larger SATA for the Vista Ultimate 64 Bit.<br/>I'm replacing the IDE with the same SATA and cloning the IDE to it.<br/>This <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/build-403683" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BUILD">BUILD</a> has been a work in progress with a few hiccups along the way but i couldn't be happier at this point.<br/>It drove me batty doing it a little at a time because i found out that Brand New un-assembled components sitting in your room will talk to you and harass your sleep functions in the middle of the night.<br/>The more expensive they are the louder they get...<br/><br/> i had exactly your problem... home built pc...<br/>i was just too budget to buy a new PSU... i tried to use a 200w to power a SLI machine... it blew up and buggered my Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe mobo and my AMD 5000+ CPU... and my GPU at the time (i had 7600GT in SLI) now i only have one 8600GT cause i cant afford to pay for any more stuff yet...<br/>i still only have 1gb RAM though... must upgrade!!! aero is bloody slow with 1gb :|I had everything but the mobo set up on my desk, waiting for the replacement to arrive.<br/>That 8800GT sure was shouting loud, but the kicker was that it looked all there, monitor and all. It was only when I caught myself pressing the power button longingly that I got a grip.<br/>Well . . . not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/quite-1175131" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about QUITE">QUITE</a> that far, hehe. Apart from the sentence about the power button it's true.lol<br/>btw, SP1 just installed fine <br/>i think the start up screen has changed... do 64 bit editions of windows give any advantage? One problem I see is the lack of 64 bit drivers although I heard there was 32 bit program compatibility somewhere for the porgrams and software.64 bit programs on a 64 bit OS will run faster than 32-bit programs. Also, 64-bit operating systems can access far more RAM than 32-bit versions.<br/>Almost all 32-bit programs will work on a 64-bit OS, but drivers must be specifically written for a 64 bit OS so they can be hard to find for some hardware.<br/>Almost all modern hardware will have 64-bit drivers available.To be completely honest i really had no interest in the 64Bit version...however in order to be able to stay on top of things i had to do it ...<br/>I resisted as long as i could but i must say that other than fighting to find proper drivers i am pleasantly suprised...<br/>There were a few drivers that OEM's insisted were written for 64Bit but this simply was not true. They would not run and i'm not about to mention names...<br/><br/>What people need to understand in this process is MS is not the villian when it comes to new OS's...they released the code for Vista 32 and 64 to OEM's back when it was still Longhorn. If the manuf. didn't get busy and write proper drivers then it's ultimately their fault...<br/><br/>As i said i'll not mention names.<br/>I plan on doing a full review once the beast is finished on what is good and not so good about Vista 64.<br/><br/>Stay Tuned.<br/>so that means that it's not big use using 64 bit windows then. and Magic 64-Bit Vista Wonderland seems to have been a good program that allows one to use 64 windows without the compatibility/driver issues. <br/><br/>If that is the case, then I'd use 64 bit windows any day. My AMD athlon64 3500+ would be happier If 32Bit Windows won't boot on it i doubt 64Bit would be any better...<br/>What happened that got you to that point ? ?<br/>Start a new thread with the details and someone will be along shortly...</body></html> | |

Solve : Corrupted File - Computer Crashed.? |

It came with Vista, but I had put XP back on it. It's been working alright, minus crashing a couple times for a few days - apparently overheating and the such.<br/><br/>The computer is an Emachines T5088, all the standard things minus an upgrade to the RAM and graphics card.

Solve : Freezing on new build? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I built a new computer (my specs are below). I installed Vista 64-bit and once I loaded up windows the screen would freeze up while trying to perform a task. I was trying to download windows updates but the screen would just freeze. Sometimes it would only be for 3-4 minutes other times I would have to reboot. Since this is a new machine I'm not sure what would be the problem...is it in Windows?<br/><br/><br/>My system:<br/>MOBO: Asus M2n-SLI Deluxe<br/>GRAPHICS: EVGA eGe-Force 9600 GT<br/>PROCESSOR: AMD Athlon 64 X2 <br/>MEMORY: 2 2 GB A-Data DDR2 800<br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/hard-1015537" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HARD">HARD</a> DRIVE: 120 GB Seagate SATADid you happen to re-use an existing PSU ? ?<br/>If not the first suspect on the list would be the build itself...<br/>Was Thermal compound applied correctly ? ?<br/>Does the RAM match the MBoard specs ?<br/><br/>I'm not quite familiar with the brand of RAM.<br/>You may want to DLoad and run MemTest on it to seee if you got a bad module.Everything is brand new.

Is it This Build ? ?<br/><br/>I formatted the drive and re-installed Vista and it seems to be running smoothly now. Thanks for your help.You're welcome if you need anything else just ask.Had a feeling it was an os problemHI <br/><br/>Question:<br/>Windows freezes or stops responding frequently.<br/><br/>Cause:<br/>This issue could be caused by any of the below possibilities.<br/><br/>Software related issue. <br/>Driver related issue. <br/>Operating system related issue. <br/>Heat related issue. <br/>Hardware issue. <br/>Serious issue with Windows <br/>Hardware failure. <br/>Answer:<br/>This document contains recommendations on what to do if the computer frequently freezes or completely halts. An easy way to determine if your computer is in this situation is by pressing the Num Lock button on the keyboard and watching the Num Lock led to see if it turns off and/or on.<br/><br/>If you're able to get the light to turn off an on, press CTRL + ALT + <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/del-947443" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DEL">DEL</a> and attempt to end task the program. Additional information about this can be found on document CHTSR. Otherwise continue reading this document.<br/><br/>Software related issue<br/>A computer locking up or freezing is often is caused by a software related issue. If you're encountering lockups when the computer is opening a particular program, make sure you have all the latest updates for that program. You can find the latest updates for your software through the software developer or publisher.<br/><br/>Driver related issue<br/>A computer lock up can also be caused by drivers. For example, if there is an issue that exists with your video drivers a computer could lock up while playing a game or displaying any other type of video. Make sure you have the latest drivers for all major devices in your computer (video, sound, modem, and network). A listing of driver related pages as well as driver related help can be found on our drivers page.<br/><br/>Operating system related issue<br/>Make sure your operating system has all of the latest updates installed on it. Additional information about updating Windows can be found on document CH000545.<br/><br/>Heat related issue<br/>If the computer processor is getting too hot it can cause the computer to freeze. If you have heard any abnormal noises coming from your computer recently such as a high squealing, this could indicate a fan may be failing in your computer.<br/><br/>You can first start by verifying the fan on the power supply is working by examining the back of the computer and seeing if the fan is moving and moving smoothly. For all other fans in the computer you will need to either open the computer and make sure the fan are working (processor fan and case fan) and/or if your BIOS monitors the RPM of the fans, enter BIOS and make sure the BIOS does not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/report-25448" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REPORT">REPORT</a> any errors.<br/><br/>Users may also be able to determine how hot their computer is by onboard thermal sensors. If your computer comes equipped with these sensors, make sure your CPU is not running too hot. Additional information about how hot your CPU should be running can be found on document CH000687.<br/><br/>Hardware issue<br/>In addition to software, hardware can also cause a computer to lock. If you have recently added any new hardware into the computer, try temporarily removing it to make sure it is not the cause of your issue. <br/><br/>Before attempting to remove any hardware, make sure you are not encountering this issue because of hardware conflicts by viewing Device Manager for errors. Additional information about Device Manager can be found on our Device Manager page.<br/><br/>If you have not recently installed any new hardware into the computer, the next best solution to determining if this is a hardware issue would be remove any hardware on the computer that is not needed. For example, remove your modem, network card, sound card, and any other expansion cards that are not needed for the computer to operate. Run the computer without these cards to see if they are the cause of your issue.<br/><br/>Note: When opening the computer, make sure you are aware of ESD and its potential dangers. See our ESD page for additional information.<br/><br/>Serious issue with Windows<br/>If you have tried all the above recommendations and the computer continues to frequently lock up, its possible that Windows may be seriously corrupt. Try running through the basic troubleshooting steps for your version of Windows on our basic troubleshooting page. If these additional steps do not resolve your issue, we suggest you backup all information and erase and reinstall Windows on your computer. Additional information about how to do this can be found on document CH000186.<br/><br/>Hardware failure<br/>If after reinstalling your operating system, or during the installation of your operating system, your computer turns off abnormally, it is very likely that other hardware is failing in the computer. Often this is RAM, CPU, Motherboard, and/or Power Supply (in that order). <br/><br/>If you have extra available parts or have a friend or co-worker with a similar configuration that is willing to allow you to test their hardware in your computer, try swapping these parts to determine if they are at <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/fault-25551" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FAULT">FAULT</a>.

If you copy the programs onto a flash drive and then copy them to the new installed OS, most of them will not work because they would have to be installed. files and downloads would be ok though yes?<br/>windows should seriously make it easier to move things without re installing etc. Yes, all your files will be safe <em>as long as you <strong>back them up</strong> somewhere <strong>other </strong>than the hard drive you are reformatting</em>lol... so if i install it on my 320gb drive i can leave all my files on the 160gb which currently has vista on it? or possibly on a different partition on the same HDD?Heh, this is getting confusing...<br/><br/>If you reinstall Windows on Hard Drive A, it will remove <em>everything</em>.<br/>If you copy program files to B and then copy it back to A after the install of Windows, it will not work.<br/><br/>Is this what you are asking?now im confused lol<br/>you wouldnt believe i managed to build a pc for myself lol.<br/>if i REINSTALL in the same location, EVERYTHING on Hard Drive A is lost? true or false?<br/>i know copying installations doesnt work (i've tried it before )<br/>however, i plan to install windows in a different location on my pc. i have one *censored* of a lot of media (200gb+) on a separate partition on the same HD. this wouldnt be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/effected-7299939" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EFFECTED">EFFECTED</a> by the install? Quote</p><blockquote>if i REINSTALL in the same location, EVERYTHING on Hard Drive A is lost? true or false?</blockquote> True<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>however, i plan to install windows in a different location on my pc. i have one *censored* of a lot of media (200gb+) on a separate partition on the same HD. this wouldnt be effected by the install?</blockquote> If you install Windows on the other partition, the <em>other </em>one won't be affected. It's unclear still what you want to accomplish here...think about it for awhile, consider the info given and Post back with what your goal is...thanks carbon, i think i understand it all now lol.<br/>i'll back up everything on my current windows install drive and then have an empty one for the new install. Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on May 24, 2008, 09:11:43 AM<blockquote> know that if you install an Operating System over another one it will format the previous one, getting rid of all trace of it.</blockquote> <br/>Really? That's news to me, because I installed Win 98 over 95, 98 SE over that, and XP over that. It's called an "upgrade install". I used full install media, not specifically upgrade. <br/><br/>Microsoft says:<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>You can upgrade in-place, which means you can install Windows Vista and retain your applications, files, and settings as they were in your previous edition of Windows.</blockquote> <br/>If you can see the image below, you will see what upgrade paths are possible.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></body></html> | |

Solve : Vista SP1? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Just for your information : My system - Vista home basic ... I received the SP1 update on March 28, My system locked up. It would get to the 3 of 3 100% than reboot .. and POW!! locked up at windows start screen (with no letters at bottom of screen) Tried 4 times ..each time with the same result. Got in contact with Microsoft - spent 4 hours on the phone with thire tech people and the system still LOCKED UP. There tech <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/person-25481" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PERSON">PERSON</a> told me that they were having problems with many systems (guess he should 'nt have told me that). I received a call April 11 to set up a retry of SP1 from tech support in the USA. I just Can not wait to lock up again.... Is anyone having a similar problem? <strong></strong>Good Day all; Just an update on the original post. Microsoft called April 15 and ran SP1 again ... guess what! locked up again. They are sending me a Vista install CD for clean install .. They also ran a system check (you know registry etc.) on the system .. found NO PROBLEMS!! The saga continues .... Robit [b/b]Good to hear they are being proactive with the situation and willing to get involved...<br/>Just <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/curious-411585" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CURIOUS">CURIOUS</a> do you have an nVidia vid <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/card-769007" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CARD">CARD</a> in that system ? ?<br/><br/>Good Luck with the re-install and maybe leave SP1 out for a bit to see if they release a revision.Thanx Patio; Actually I have to call them before I install ..I think they want to view the event. I had a ECS8800GTX but the driver was a mess (169.44) you know that Video driver not responding thing. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/since-644476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SINCE">SINCE</a> then I have the XFX9800 Gx2 with the 174.74 driver (not the driver which came with it) and I am impressed with the performance. Thanx again, I'll keep all informed as to the out come ... RobitAgain - Good Day to all! The update goes like this ... Haven't heard a word from Microsoft for a week now ... was to send a CD .... didn't get CD ... sent email ... no response ... this is not good ... my system has been acting rather poorly since there last try SP1 install ... THE SAGA CONTINUES .....<strong></strong>Keep us posted.I'd wait a week or two longer for microsoft to send you the cd. It may have already been sent out or microsoft's kind of busy. But if you don't receive it within a month, then I'd suggest you go the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and complain that Microsoft ripped you off and did not send you cd as promised!This will be the last update, I hope - I received the Vista home basic CD on April 21 ... This is the full Version with SP1 included ... Went to install and found that the "keep files and settings was disabled" ... Why? I don't know! went ahead and backed up the system (which I do anyway) ... All appears well, but no noticeable performance increase ... I would like to note that I did have some issues with the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/new-1114486" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NEW">NEW</a> 500gb drive, Vista didn'T want to move some apps over to it. It was "*censored*" resetting all my settings. Thanx to all that were interested in the "SAGA". By the way, Microsoft totaly disappeared - I mean I couldn't contact them and they never responded to my emails....Whatever!!!Unreal.<br/>It's a shame you had to struggle so much just to update your machine....<br/>I'm also dissappointed in there sudden lack of interest.<br/>For what it's worth i've had nothing but good success when dealing with the Mothership.<br/><br/>Anyways glad to hear you are back up and running...that's the important thing.<br/>And thanx for letting us know !Hi! Patio, can't understand it myself ... most of my dealings with MS were good ... well maybe one person had a bad day. By the way - I loaded the last of my programs today ... system is back to live action again ... Thanx for your interest ... Robit</p></body></html> | |

Solve : Accidentally Changed SID?-Computer Messed Up? |
| Answer» <html><body><br/>Hello everyone.<br/><br/>I wasn't sure where to put this so I put it in this section....<br/><br/>Before I start, forgive me if this post is a bit long, but I feel all information is very important in helping to solve an issue, and I tend to go off on tangents, so please stay with me here.<br/><br/>It seems I have run into a bit of an issue that I need help in examining, and hopefully fixing. My hope is that, through advice here I will be able to fix this manually rather than taking it in to some business to get it fixed professional (which also means paying them to fix it).<br/><br/>Now I am not terribly knowledgeable about computers as far as the technical side but I know my way about pretty well compared to the average person of my age. As far as this goes, I know that the more information I can give you guys, the better.<br/><br/>I am a University student and mostly use my computer for: University work, PC Games (quite a bit), and storage of a multitude of things, and basic activities like internet and etc of course.<br/><br/>Lets begin:<br/><br/>Computer: Inspiron 1520 Laptop from Dell<br/><br/>OS: Vista HOME PREMIUM (I also have a 320GB Western Digital external drive connected to it about 95% of the time)<br/><br/>NEWSID<br/><br/><strong>System Specs:</strong> (I attained this from the System option under Control Panel)<br/><br/>Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7300 2.00GHz 1.99 GHz<br/><br/>Memory (RAM): 2046 MB<br/><br/>System type: 32-bit Operating System<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Problem:<br/><br/><br/>Ok, now, lets not get into why, but I ended up trying to use a program that I was told to use called:<br/><br/>NewSid v. 4.10 to change my SID (unsure what that is). In retrospect I probably should have found out before using the program, but I didn't. So basically, I am an idiot, this is my own fault, I never should have meddled with it, but now I have a problem, and I need to get it fixed, so lets move on.<br/><br/>I used it, it showed my original SID, (I wrote it down on a piece of paper, its on one of the tables somewhere in my house if I need to tell you guys it). It also showed a new SID, the one it would be changing my old one to.<br/><br/>So, I start the process.<br/><br/>It says its in the process of changing it for about 5 minutes...I wait 5 more minutes...nothing, I wait 5 more minutes...nothing. At this point, I have the feeling something is wrong. I look up this thing on the internet.<br/><br/>I find out this program changes your computers' SID so as to fix a problem or something like that. However, I also found out that it does not work for Vista, it is meant for XP. I also read a snippet from some conversation I can't really understand stating that changing the SID can have some bad effects potentially.<br/><br/>So, at this point in time, I am more than a little nervous in regards to my situation. I try to wait it out and hope that it resolves itself, but to no avail.<br/><br/>My only option was to shut down my computer, since I couldn't exit out of the app or anything like that. So I crossed my fingers, held down the power button on my laptop and immediately shut it off.<br/><br/>I turn my computer back on. All is fine. So I think "Ok, thank god, I got lucky, I guess it didn't end up changing the SID or whatever". I was planning on reorganizing my computer a bit that night anyway, so I went to doing that. This was around 7pm. Around 11pm (all things are working fine, it seems like zero things are wrong, just as fast, no errors, nothing), I decide to retire to my bedroom to do some casual internet browsing while watching TV before going to bed.<br/><br/>I unplug my Laptop, I unplug my external hard drive. I turn off the computer for the transfer (the normal way, through start menu). I hook them both up in my bedroom and I turn on my computer. I see at the log on screen that there are 2 users on my computer now, instead of just the one, mine.<br/><br/>I am thinking this cannot be good.<br/><br/>The other user is called:<br/><br/>ASP.NET Machine Account<br/><br/>It is to the left of my user picture.<br/><br/>So I think...ok lets see what happens here....<br/><br/>I log in to my user account. What happens? It is stuck on the little changing circle (the loading icon for vista) for about 30 seconds longer than normal, my computer is pretty fast normally. Then, when it should start <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/showing-642926" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SHOWING">SHOWING</a> my desktop and everything, instead, the screen goes completely black. However, my mouse is still there, and I can move it around. I just can't click anything, the screen is 100% black, I can't see anything, ctrl+alt+delete won't work, nor will alt+tab or ESC. <br/><br/>Since I am unable to do anything but move my mouse around, I turn off the computer.<br/><br/>I turn it back on, the screen comes up saying that it didn't shut down right, and I pick the option to run in safemode.<br/><br/>I try and log in to the new user, ASP.NET Machine Account however no passwords will work.<br/><br/>So I back out of that, and I log in to my User account. Thankfully, it works. I have no background, so on and so forth, the regular visual effects of safe mode. All of my icons are there, all of my start menu stuff is fine, all of my files are where they should be, and I can access my 320GB hard drive and all of that just fine.<br/><br/>So I think "Well, thank god, at least I know all of my files and stuff are safe" ...because frankly...I have a lot. I have a 150GB Hard drive on the computer, about 30GB are left, and my 320GB hard drive has 40GB left (I was going to clean this out a bit).<br/><br/>So, I decide to try and use the windows System Restore function. I have limited space apparently set for system restore, so the farthest back I can restore my computer is about 4pm that day, which is about 2 hours or so before I decided to use that SID changing program. It takes awhile to do its thing, and it restarts the computer. I try to enter my user thing (in regular mode, not safe mode of course), and I end up with the same problem. Black screen, but I can see and move my mouse.<br/><br/>I think..well crap. I try it again with the system restore option I have on a program I use called TuneUp Utlities 2008. It does the whole process (faster than the normal Windows one funnily enough) and it says that the System Restore failed.<br/><br/>So...in a last ditch attempt to see if I can get my computer to fix itself, I use a think called System Doctor or something like that on TuneUp Utlities 2008 that checks for errors and the like on your computer. It found no errors.<br/><br/>So...here I am.<br/><br/>My files are apparently safe, all stores and useable on safe mode. But naturally, that doesn't do me all that much good. <br/><br/>Can I fix this manually? Or do I have to take this in to a professional to fix?<br/><br/>I am assuming all of my files will be fine through the process of fixing this issue? Otherwise..I can copy the majority of my personal files (pictures, folders with information, college word documents, job resume, and so on) on to the remaining 40GB of my Hard Drive, although I will have to be somewhat conservative in deciding what to copy and what not to. My games would have to suffer but nothing a simple reinstall of each can't fix. If you think this is a precaution I should take let me know.<br/><br/>I hope we can fix this issue through the knowledge of the people on this forum.<br/><br/>I appreciate any help or advice you can offer.<br/><br/>I also ask that you please try to use lamens terms when directing me on what to do because I won't catch a lot of the tech lingo I am sure.<br/><br/>If you need any other information, feel free to ask and I would be happy to get it for you.<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Unreal030<br/><br/><br/>P.S. - I don't know if this has any relevance to my problem, but as far as I know, I am still on SP1 or whatever it is of Vista. I think they recently came out with SP2 or some other big, main update, the first one for Vista? I, as far as I know, didn't get that.<br/><br/>I am not an expert with Vista, at all, but if you were using a program that was written for WinXP to change your SID (Which stands for Security Identifier), the program attempted to modify your registry.<br/><br/>Two scenarios come to mind, each as likely as the other. The program could have been in the process of changing your registry as if it were the WinXP registry and failed, leaving garbage or invalid entries in your registry under your user or user group (where the SID is stored), which would cause an abnormal boot.<br/><br/>If this is the case, the problem can be fixed by accessing your default Administrator account (if one is present in vista), creating a backup of your My Documents and Desktop folders under your current username, and deleting and recreating your username with the EXACT same password (that is very important). The new 'you' will load properly and your SID will be restored, you will then be able to access the backup copies of your 'desktop' and 'my documents' folders and retreive your documents. (If your default Administrator account is not accessible in vista, you will have to log into your OWN account in safe mode, create an Adminstrator account, and then complete the above steps)<br/><br/>The second scenario is that the WinXP and Vista registries are similar enough that the program either succeeded or partially succeeded in changing your SID before it was terminated by an error or by Vista's security controls. SIDs exist for the purpose of managing user rights to computer resources. When a user requests the ability to execute a program (Lets say, Explorer, or whatever shell is being used), Vista will check the user's SID against what is called an ACL to determine whether or not that user has the priveledge to execute that program. If you have an invalid or corrupt SID, or two different SIDs associated with your user or usergroup, you may not have the priveledges necessary to start many of the processes (or any of the processes) critical to running a user environment. I beleive the method <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/prescribed-1163704" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRESCRIBED">PRESCRIBED</a> above will also fix this problem.<br/><br/>If this method does not work, you will need to seek some way to repair your registry or access the Recovery Console, and you may have to use some third party program (Like Total Commander) to reclaim your data. A format should not be necessary.How did you go with that process Quote from: programming_pat on May 16, 2008, 06:38:27 AM<blockquote>How did you go with that process<br/></blockquote> <br/>What does this bump accomplish ? ?

I just tried, for the [bleep] of it to restore the last good boot or whatever it is called in the advanced boot options. (F8). It seems to have worked. I logged into my user account in regular mode (i.e. not safe mode) and it worked perfectly. Nothing seems to be wrong.<br/><br/>To <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/double-246357" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DOUBLE">DOUBLE</a> check, so I would be sure what happened last time wouldn't happen, I told my computer to restart. Still works fine. So it seems that my computer fixed itself in effect.<br/><br/>However, I was curious if it is alright to leave that other user account there. (the ASP.net Machine account one). Will that cause any problems. I don't really mind the small aesthetic deterrent it causes on my login screen if it won't cause any issues.

Acronis Disk Imager helps ... your computer is basically restored to the exact state it was when you created the image.

Say ... make a small partition in the external drive and just dump files there that you are sure you'd die without?External drives fail also...burning to DVD is the safest bet.</body></html> | |
