2951.	Solve : OS Installing and Hard Disk Problems?
Answer» BASICALLY, my windows xp malfunctioned today when i got home from school. I started it up normally and the login screen froze and hanged. I rebooted and a blue screen appeared listing an error. After searching I saw that the error had to do with boot volumes. After managing to get my computer to boot from a cd i DECIDED to use the windows vista cd i had. I formatted my hard drive and tried to use it to install. An error came up saying Failed to create a new partition on the selected unused space. After reading more I used diskpart to clean my hard disk. It changed the hard disk to Unallocated Space. I tried to create a new partition and it wouldnt create it. Right now I'm doing the diskpart clean all (which i HEARD takes awhile). This all happened after I installed PANDA Global Protection 2009. I read something about partition tables being destroyed and I needed a manufacture cd. Is this the case or is there another solution.You need to boot to the Vista CD to manage PARTITIONS and then install the OS - you cannot start the process from within Windows. Is that what you are doing (it doesn't sound like it).I'm starting from boot.

2954.	Solve : Need permission?
Answer» I have a PROGRAM called WINRAR. I believe it is a compression and archive program. Every time I click on it my virus protector: TREND MICRO says beware it has a trojan virus. So I went to the control panel to delete the program. It did so but it is still in my program files. When I try and delete it there it says I need permission to rename, or REMOVE the program. How do I GET permission? Thanks, Peter Take ownership: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/ BTW, Winrar is not malware - just add it to Trend Micro's trusted apps (I ASSUME Trend has such an option)

2955.	Solve : W7 & Outlook Express.?
Answer» I have just built the wife a new computer, the old one is running XP Home. She uses Outlook Express for her e-mail. I have one of the pre-order W7 disks to PUT on her new computer (when it comes), but can I back up OE and transfer all her e-mails to whatever program W7 uses for e-mail. Or can I save all her e-mails and put them into something like Thunderbird. Also what is the best way to save OE mail for transfer. I'm not familiar with Microsoft's eMail programs, but if you run out of ideas, you can forward all eMails you want to save to a web based eMail account like YAHOO, or GMAIL, then all eMail will be saved on a yahoo/gmail SERVER... If you don't have a yahoo/gmail account just set one up and forward all your eMailThanks I had not thought of that.You are most certainly welcome.......Or of course, as Count Dracula would put it, you're Velcome

2957.	Solve : HP Mini Netbook (110-1030CA) Start Up Help?
Answer» So we won this computer fresh out of the box, took it home, started it up and went through the set up, DONE that, it restarted, then before everything loaded up again, it went through some hp software updating, but then when it was doing that, we had to go, so my friend just shut it down while it was updating, when we got home, we tried to start it up it said before everything could start up NORMALLY, a black screen popped up, and I don't REMEMBER what it said but it said something like this, its missing some file and needs to be repaired by inserting the Windows XP cd and going to the "REPAIR my computer" option and it needs the boot/cd file (something like that). I would be able to do that but the thing is is that there's no place to put a cd in because its a notebook mini. So I don't know what to do now? Take it in to a computer repair shop and let them WORK there magic somehow? Here's what it looks like http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10125195&catid=28597&logon=&langid=EN# EDIT: Might of found a solution to my problem http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01681915&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3979284Shutting it down while it was updating was probably a bad idea...

2958.	Solve : Cancelling windows "remembered" password??
Answer» I would like help to cancel an existing password that windows has “remembered”for access to an IP The “Do you want Windows to remember this password” or some such box, pops up sometimes when using a new application etc. I have previously used it to facilitate entry into the “members facility” of my IP provider. However since my IP changed some numbers in the IP address, the username required to open it has changed. I have no problems there as I have the new username, but every time I enter the “Username” in the “Members Facility” of the site, windows pops up with the old “Username.” There is no PROBLEM with this, as I just ignore it, and type in the new.. APART from that is the fact that it is a rather long Username and it would be much easier if I could get rid of the old one from Windows and insert the new one, it would only require me to enter the first digits in the Username slot, the pop up to appear, click on it and hey presto the username and password are inserted. My query, “How do I get to change the username and password that Windows has “remembered”? I have been in through, Control Panel”, “User Accounts” but there are no stored passwords there. I am running Vista Home Premium SP2. I have also exhausted the “Search” sections of Vista. Any advice appreciated, but if any forthcoming, I am a computer numty, so advise in computer “baby talk” please. IE - Tools - Interent Options - Content TAB - Auto Complete Settings - Uncheck "Ask me before saving passwords". In the future, please just state your question WITHOUT the long explanation - it makes it easier to figure out what it is you want to KNOW Thanks and wilco You're welcome.

2959.	Solve : Dual boot Windows Vista and windows 7?
Answer» I currently have a pc with two 500GB HDD's on it. One is in use with 32 bit Windows Vista and the other is blank. When Windows 7 ARRIVES in the UK(in the UK we are getting a clean start version RATHER than an upgrade version) in around 4 weeks time, how do I install windows 7 on the second drive such that I can dual boot the computer to work with either "Vista" or "7" and how do I set up the PC to have the dual boot option. Also since all of my settings, files, etc are on the Windows Vista DISK, will I have to copy these across to the second disk RUNNING Windows 7. Any HELP would be appreciated.Yes to the second question. To install a second OS just boot to the Windows 7 disk and when the install routine begins you'll be asked where you want to install. Just choose the second disk. The bootloader will recognize there is another OS and from then on you'll have the option of booting to Vista or 7.ADG thanks for a very quick responseSure.

2960.	Solve : inport outlook express emails and address book into office outlook in vista?
Answer» Runing Microsoft OFFICE 2007 in Vista can you IMPORT OUTLOOK express EMAILS into office outlook and be able to read emails and access outlook express address book as well. Yes. OUTLOOK - FILE - IMPORT / EXPORT - IMPORT FROM ANOTHER PROGRAM OR FILE - OUTLOOK EXPRESS BTW - I've never tried it (I don't use Outlook Express). You can also TRY Exporting from Express and Importing to Outlook, though I'd guess the above method will work.

2961.	Solve : Is superAntispyware working correctly??
Answer» I am using Vista Home Basic on an E Machine 32 bit. For security I have: Malwarebyte ANTIMALWARE SuperAntispyware - Professional avast Antivirus I usually use these about once a month for the last several months to scam my computer. Everything is fine except the SuperAntiMalware. When I use the SuperAntiMalware it scans the memory items (594) and the resistory items (5822) and never gets any threats. When I ran the last SCAN the file items started out with 24 threats and later had 104 threats and later finished with 156 threats. All the threats were "Adware tracking cookie". It got rid of them OK. My question is this: I thought the program would get rid of threats as soon as a threats appeared. If this is not true then does this mean the threat is in my computer until I run a scan? Am I CONCERNED about something that is not important? Thanks for your time. BobTracking cookies aren't threats, or even "malware" as such. There's really no reason for real time intervention for them.ADG - Thanks for your reply. I guess I was concerned about something that is not a problem. Bob

Answer» Hi! I've got a WIndows Vista Laptop. I've had it for a while, and until now it has been working fine. A couple of days ago, I encountered a problem.

I don't need the computer fixed (although if anyone could help me with that, it WOULD be GREAT). All I acutually want is to retrieve the INFO from my laptop and put it onto another computer, if there is anything to save. I was told that my info was still in the computer somewhere, and has a chance of being saved. Thanks in advance for any help! Are you able to get to Safe Mode, or Safe Mode with Command Prompt? POWER on the computer and tap F8 until you come to Advanced Options... Select Safe Mode and see if it will let you in... If not, TRY Safe Mode with Command Prompt... Double Post.

Did you do the chkdsk/r function which does the chkdsk check as you already know BUT also attempts to fix problems if it can.

2970.	Solve : Vista Poll?
Answer» My purpose for this POLL is for users to get a feel for what others consider useful in Windows Vista, and maybe learn something. It would help also, if you specified if you consider yourself a computer tech., network admin., security/malware specialist, hobbyist, gamer, average user, whatever... The votes are permanently locked in so think careful Although I haven't been employed in the industry much, I think I fall into the computer tech. category and generally use DEVICE Manager, disk defrag., Disk Management, configuration utility (msconfig), disk clean up, add/remove programs wizard, Internet Options, and Task Manager I read your post about the Vista poll in the off-topic , would have loved to vote but I use WIN XP. I think majority of people use XP. Let's see...thanks CH Queen ...give the word and I shall bring your chariot Anyway, I'm actually more CURIOUS about Vista at the moment... There are three items on the list that I've never use and I would like to know if anyone else ever uses them. I added the last option a few minutes AGO... There is one or two third party utilities I use on occasion and I know others prefer third party as well...

2971.	Solve : Need Help Retrieving Memory?
Answer» Hi! I've got a Window Vista Laptop, and it was working fine until a couple of days ago. It can turn on, but it doesn't start like it should. It keeps telling me there is a problem with the kernel. I don't need it fixed (ALTHOUGH if anyone knows of any ways that would be great). What I actually need to do is retrieve the info from my laptop and put it onto another computer, if it's possible (Mainly documents, software, music, and images). Thanks in advance for any help! Grab one of these... Laptop 2.5" to IDE CONVERTER...'bout 8 Bucks from any PC STORE... This will allow you to hook up the drive to any working desktop machine to grab your data... NOTE: Windows does not need to be working on the laptop drive to do this... Best of Luck.Many laptops use a 2.5 inch Hard drive. If you can remove the hard drive, it can be connected to a USB adapter that will let you use another computer to read the drive contents. oops.! Patio ALREADY mentioned the IDE adapter for a desktop. This is a better choice. But if your second computer is another laptop. you would use the USB adapter. Here is a link the explains what they are: http://www.newertech.com/products/usb2_adaptv2.php When it comes to data retrieval i prefer IDE connection over USB...much more reliable... Thanks a lot to all of you for the advice! (sorry for double posting) I'll get back to you with the results when I get the chance. Thanks again !

Answer» can a master be set to a slave? i changed the jumper to slave but it seems it wants to read it as a master loading windows xp when im running windows vista A bit more info on how this is set up would be helpful...heck you may even wind up with a solution...I took the hard drive out of an old HP(Windows XP). When I took it out it looked like a double hard drive,or there were 2 of them within a bracket. So i think there was a master and a slave? So I CRACKED my NEW HP (Windows vista) open and connected just the slave(from the old HP) so that i could get some pics from it.It worked just fine.i felt like a genius. then i went to connect just the master(from the old HP) but first switch the jumper to the slave setting.but this time it didnt work.it wanted to load windows xp.or reading the hard drive as primary(am i Making any sense?)so i panicked and turn the computer off now im trying to figure it out. why did it work the first time?is it because the slave was already a slave and has no PROBLEM going from one computer to the next.or maybe you cant make master an instant slave. this screen pops up first.http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t166/dennisromero408/DSC03367.jpg thanks for all your helpSometimes the BIOS GETS confused when swapping/adding HDD's... try a few cold boots with it set as slave and see if it works...

2975.	Solve : Event viewer shows PEB Corruption on Dell Inspiron 531 with Vista SP2?
Answer» All,evilfantasy told me this problem was probably not malware related. I wish I were experienced enough to know how to read event viewer entries and MATCH them with what is going on. I have two entries relating to this appearing in WINDOWS Vista Problem reports as well as in the event viewer/customer views/adminstrative view. I have had printer problems off and on since March 2009, and had the addition of spooling problems while dealing with the problems that caused me to post for help with malware. The printer problems include (1)printing alignment test page ontop of the page being printed,(2) refusing to print more than one page at a time,(3) refusing to print at all. I do not know if PEB corruption has anything to do with PRINTERS or the need to return to Last known good configuration.The printer driver was reinstalled in March 2009 after printer refused to completely print a Adobe ACROBAT pdf online and the BIOS was updated at same time by a friend present at time the problem occurred. He is a electrical engineer who builds computers. I have at once time shut down something I did not(and do not understand still) and apparently it is related to the printer COMMUNICATIONS---quite some time ago, I should add. Here is the entry: Product PEB_CORRUPTION Problem Driver host process disconnect Date 8/29/2009 10:26 PM Status Report Sent Description The Windows User-Mode Driver Framework detected that a driver host-process disconnected unexpectedly.

2989.	Solve : Error installing software - multiple users logged on??
Answer» I have Vista Home Premium on my HP Laptop. I'm trying to install software, but keep getting an error that multiple users are logged onto the machine. The problem is, I only have one user created on the machine, the Administrator. I do not have the guest account enabled. Anyone know what might be causing this error? Could it be the fast switch user FUNCTION even though I don't have any other user accounts? TI would definately SUGGEST disabling the Fast User Switching service, if you will be the only one using this laptop. Can you post a screen shot of the error that you are getting?I gave up on this for a while, but am trying again. I've removed fast user switching (by adding a dword key SOMETHING to the registry). But I STILL get the attached error when trying to install software. Anyone know why this might be happening? [attachment DELETED by admin]Go into your services and check to see if Fast User Switching is running or not.

2992.	Solve : C Drive running low.?
Answer» It looks like you have a 500 GB hard drive, partitioned into three. That is still quite a big drive for a laptop. It would be asy for a computer service/repair place to re arrange those partitions, especially SINCE your D partition is USING 6 GB out of 180 GB. You still have 50 gb free in C drive,which is enough. You just need to take CARE that all your future FILES and installation are done in other drives...

2993.	Solve : Mysterious folder in C drive?
Answer» There is a folder in C drive named read & execute which is PROTECTED. When I double-click on it ,it opens and shows various folders in it,each named as a number(1041,1042,2070,3042...total 26 folders) and another one named graphics. I am unable to access any of those. When I try to access it , it SHOW that I need permission to access this folder and I need to click continue to get access to this folder. When I click continue, it shows that I have been denied. I tried going to properties and set permissions to the folder but that too was fruitless. When I go to the properties, it shows that it has no files or folders in it and it is of 0 bytes. BUT when I scan it with Microsoft security essentials, it does scan some files in the folder. I can post SCREENSHOTS if needed. I have windows 7 HOME Basic. Any help will be appreciated. Those are native Windows folders/files that are part of the permissions features built into Windows.Thanks for the reply. I was just worried that it may be something fishy. Once again,Thanks.NP...

2994.	Solve : Windows 8 issue Desktop vanishes after a few mins loggin in?
Answer» So, I've looked around and COULD not FIND this issue anywhere. After logging in and the desktop loads im fine for about 5 mins anytime I maximize a window either a game/ or browser the desktop disappears and im met with this dark grey screen. my browser is there, I can still access task manager by pressing ctrl alt del but im at a grey screen and I cant get to the start or back to my desktop im forced to restart. Anyone have a idea as to what is going on? here are my specs windows 8 gtx570 hd 16gigs ram acer gd235hz 120hrtz monitor 1tb Seagate hd Asus p6t delux v2 mobo I7 920 cpu x-fi xtream music sound cardGood morning monk3y and welcome to CH If i am understanding your post correctly it sounds like a corrupt / missing driver. I check Asus's web site for drivers on your MoBo and they had drivers all the WAY up to Windows 7 64 bit but not Windows 8 and I also checked Intel's web site for the chipset drivers and they do not have them either. Then I checked MS Windows 8 Compatibility for your MoBo and there is 1 person that said it worked but they were having issues with DVD driver issues. I really do not know where you may get any drivers for your PARTS. Hopefully some one will be by and may have a suggestion. PLEASE let us know how you make out, Mike

2995.	Solve : Deleting an rar archive which has virus?
Answer» I took a PENDRIVE from my FRIEND which CONTAINED linux installation for VMware and a few other virus or trojan generators. but,unfortunately,when I scanned them,they had viruses. I did not have enough time to go through it. So I created an RAR archive of the contents of the pendrive. Now,I dont think I want it, so when I TRIED deleting it...it shows this...(see attachment) I was also not able to move it either. But when I can the archive using MSE, no threats are detected.///any help [year+ old attachment deleted by admin]I am sorry....but ten minutes after posting this I was able to delete it.... Sorry

2996.	Solve : Batch - ECHOJ Help?
Answer» How can to cursor be sent to the echoj line beginning so that the next echoj will overwrite the text? Similar to pressing the {Home} key ... but executed by the batch file.I'm not a big fan of hybrid batch files, but I'm not sure your request can be DONE in pure batch. This little script uses JScript to create a carriage return character which can then be used within the batch code as needed. I find JScript preferable to VBScript by not using an intermediate WORK file. On the downside, JScript is case-sensitive and requires punctuation. Code: [Select]@set @JScript=1/* @echo off :: :: Batch Code Goes here :: setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion For /F "delims=" %%a in ('cscript //nologo /E:JScript "%~dpnx0"') Do Set "CR=%%a" for /L %%i in (1,1,20) do ( <nul set /p "=!date! !time! !CR!" ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 > nul ) goto :eof / // // JScript Goes Here // WScript.Echo (String.fromCharCode(13)); This is set up as a demo. After the JScript code runs, the CR variable contains a carriage return (no line feed). The second for* STATEMENT outputs a timestamp overwriting the previous time stamp. JScript, unlike VBScript, supports block comments which is the key here. When the JScript engine runs, the batch code is invisible and when the batch code runs, the JScript code is invisible. You can replace the second for statement with any batch language you need. The rest of the code is critical for this to work, especially the FIRST line and the paired end of JScript comment line (/). Good luck. PS. EchoJ* and chgColor was a topic of discussion earlier.this year. You might want to check it out.

2998.	Solve : UNKNOWN DOWNLOADS?
Answer» Could any one please advise me as to the reason I have noticed large unknown downloads of up to 200 mbs. I have checked Microsoft AUTO updates etc but can't track down the reason. I don't have wireless connection but could it be possible some one could hack into my computer to use my download . Many thanks. Barry M.Good morning bargun and welcome to CH OK I must say I don't know what you are talking about or referring to, where are you getting the download information from? You getting this from your router, your download folder or ? is the 200 MB that you are talking about is this all at once or is it over a period like a month or so. To answer one of your questions if someone could hack your network yes it can be done. Now you said that you don't have wireless do you mean you don't have wireless on the PC or do you have a wireless router even if you if don't use it on your PC? But I don't know what OS (operating system) you have but there are many windows updates alone that can be 100's mb to almost a 1 gig. Hope to hear from you soon, Mike Hello Mike. Thanks for the welcome and I guess I don't know too much of what I'm talking about either but here goes. I use NetWorx meter to moniter TRAFFIC and the 200 mbs was all at once and no microsoft updates were LISTED . I have a vista 32 bit and it's cable , not a wireless connection . I don't have a wireless router . This has only happened once before , it was about 100 mb, also checked for m'soft updates but none scheduled . I just assumed it was some auto update in my system but this big one concerned me as I only have a 2 gb download allowance per month. Is there any softwear to check on what downloads have occurred ? Thanks for taking the time to reply Mike , I appreciate the help. Cheers for now. Barry. PS. Hope this makes it a little clearer ,bit of a novice at technology.Perhaps this free software application can give you a better handle on what is taking place re these unknown downloads. http://www.softwaregeek.com/download/simple_internet_meter.html truenorthThank you truenorth , I will download the program and give it a try.Will advise after trying. Many thanks for your help. Cheers. Barry.Can you locate as to where this 200 Mb of downloads is?Thank you jason. No , I have tried everything but I can't seem to find any softwear or info that can pin point as to what is happening . I don't think I'm being hacked but would just like to know what and where it was downloaded to. Guess I'll just have to hope it is not GOING to be a regular occurrence . Cheers. Barry.If you are sure about the size of the file, you can use treesize http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/Did you consider the POSSIBILITY that it might be browser updates? They too can eat bandwidth. Often automatic browser update,flash player updates,java update may run up that much tab. However,all at once is very less likely.Thank you again Jason and Rishav. As to the updates you mentioned , Rishev , I do those manually so it's not them but I contacted my ISP . ( Telstra here in Australia ) and he suggested that this can be a normal updating process in the computer , and also happens on startup , as was the case in one instance and up to 200 mb. he didn't see as a great concern. Have not had any recurrence to date but I only reboot a couple of times a week as I keep it in sleep mode for quick startups. I guess I can call the problem resolved so thank you to all who took the time to help me out , much appreciated. Cheers. Barry.
