Unable to cast OBJECT of type 'System.Boolean' to type 'System.String'.

I get this message when I turn on my laptop.
What does it mean ? How should I FIX it ?

Dell Inspiron 1545, Windows 7http://forums.techguy.org/windows-7/1084910-solved-unable-cast-object-type.html

Use restore point to SET computer back in time to an earlier working state in which this does not occur and then perform security updates etc seems to be the fix according to this. However one person stated that with Event Logging service turned off, that also fixed this ISSUE if a restore point is not available to go back to.

There are a lot of Freebasic users, Geek. And Autoit users for that matter.

AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language DESIGNED for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting.

Autoit users? OK, you must be one. Who is the other one?
I would like to know both of you.

At the time of this writing, the AutoIt Forum has over 500 users online, with over 55,000 Members total. That's about 80% of the size of this Forum, which I think we can agree has a substantial Memberbase.

Now, for comparison, I couldn't find any QBASIC forums with more than a few hundred members. Where is this large community you spoke of, anyway?

God, do they still have Basic?

hi everyone. Can ANYONE PLEASE tell me that from where can i get windows 7 snipping tool. I thought its windows own tool but i am not ABLE to FIND it.It's under Programs/Accessories...You can hit the Windows key and when the start menu appears the "Search programs and files" box has focus, (there is a blinking text cursor) and you can just type "SNIP" and Snipping Tool is shown for you to select. That is what I do. This is a very useful feature for finding programs.

If its Windows 7 Starter, the tool is not included as only Premium and above editions is supported.i found it thank guys.

I'm not quite sure if I should post this in the hardware forum instead, so please forgive me if this topic is miscategorized.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 15 with an Intel(R) HD 4000 graphics CARD. I use a hardware emulator on my computer to play old arcade games, and I want to use an old cathode ray television as my A/V output device. I got an HDMI-to-composite converter for this purpose, and it mostly works but I still have one major problem, which is that the picture appearing on the old TV looks distorted because my laptop screen has an aspect ratio of 16:9 while the old TV has an aspect ratio of 4:3.

I wish to make the image on my TV look undistorted. It would be great if I could just FIT the picture to the TV vertically and "chop off" the left and right ends. I wouldn't lose any important parts of the picture that WAY, since the games are automatically pillarboxed on my laptop's widescreen display. If that's not practical, then I would SETTLE for displaying a letterboxed (and, in effect, windowboxed) image on my TV. Any tips?right-click on desktop to bring up menu and select screen resolution
select advanced settings
Select Intel(R) Graphics and Media Control Panel which should be there with the Intel GPU
on scaling use drop down to CUSTOMIZE aspect ratio
You now will have sliders for horizontal and verticle to make 4:3 which might be 100:75
click apply and your laptop display will change to 100:75 which should be the same as 4:3 and it will send this ratio to tv

*If 100:75 is the combination that works for your TV, your laptop will then show it not fitting well. You may have to play with the values to get it to something other than 100:75 to work. But I believe your system with the Intel 4000 will have the same interface as I see on this new desktop with Intel HD Graphics running Windows 7 Pro

Also I hope the HDMI to composite converter works well as for I have tried other converters such as years ago when I made my first HTPC and converted from DVI to Composite with a digital to analog converter and the quality was not sharp, but kind of fuzzy. I ended up resolving this by upgrading to a TV with S-video and got a video card with S-video and that made for far better picture quality on the CRT 27" TV

Hi guys. I desperately need help 
When I went to turn on my Packard BELL laptop (HP windows 7) it wouldn’t accept the password I was giving, even though I knew it was correct. It was saying ‘The user profile service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded’. After trying numerous times, I got in through safe mode. I looked up a youtube tutorial and followed steps like going in to registry editor as far as changing the .BAK etc. , When I RESTARTED my laptop it was like when I bought it new. All my folders, files, pictures etc. are all missing and Recuva can't find anything. Please someone help. All my COLLEGE documents are gone. What can I do?
It sounds to me like the NTUSER.DAT registry file was corrupted. If you restore a backup of the registry, it will revert a lot of your settings to their defaults, but it should not delete any documents. The only case that your documents are also gone, is that part of hard drive was corrupted, which I don't think is the case. You'll probably find those documents if you search heavily through your C:\users folder.

Main Goal: gain access to my files so I can save them without doing anything that would damage or erase my files because the files are what's important to me, I don't mind if I have to

reformat as long as I can save the files first.



Hello everyone, this is my first post on here and I would greatly appreciate any help.

I want to give as much information as possible so you have a more accurate picture and you don't have to drag information out of me but at the same time I just experienced, over the last

few days, a slew of problems with my laptop and have been recovering little by little over the last 3 days. So I want to just address the Subject (Can't Boot Into Safe Mode or Open

msconfig) I entered first instead of writing a novel about how after my laptop powered down:

(1)CHKDSK started after a restart, did a bunch of crazy stuff including "Replacing invalid security id with default security id for file XXXX." Did this on nearly 400,000 files.
(2)Then windows wouldn't boot so I did a boot repair that didn't work.
(3)Then tried to do a system restore but the first one didn't work and was "damaged or deleted" in the process. I thought the second one didn't work either and tried it twice since I
didn't get the "damaged" message on this restore point and then gave up for the night (the "novel" will include the error messages I received each time).
(4)Then when I turned on my computer this morning it miraculously booted to the desktop but then said that Windows was not genuine (it is genuine). I think the 2 and 1/2 hours that the

computer was trying to use the 2nd restore point ended up restoring enough that I could get my system running somewhat as this was the first time for me to restart it after the 2nd restore

point failed both times. I thought "oh well, I can see files on my desktop and that's all I care about, saving my files." Well, when I tried to copy them from my desktop to an external

hard drive I received a prompt that said I didn't have access to C:\ (which is what 80% of my data is on along with Windows and all other programs). Went to Windows Explorer and when I

clicked on OS (C:) I was denied access (this has NTFS by it when I go to my Computer, I've seen people talking about that before but I don't know what it means but figured it could be

important to know exactly what type I have). I tried to change ownership and permission and still can't get into it (It worked on an individual folder on my desktop and by "worked" I mean

it changed ownership and permission but I still couldn't move the folder. When I tried to change the ownership and permission on the C drive it didn't work at all, it failed). I can't

even access individual files that I can actually see on my desktop. I have another drive that I can access, DATAPART1 (D:). Both the C: and D: have 500GB. I can also access the external

hard drive that's plugged in.

So those are the CliffsNotes of the novel. If I need to I can write the novel with a whole lot more about every different avenue I have taken so far to get where I am. But I have seen in

several places where people had the same problem but were able to gain access and copy their files while in Safe Mode. Unfortunately I've had problems the last year or so USING F8 to get

to Safe Mode so I always had to use msconfig and then restart it but now that's not working.

In regards to booting in Safe Mode these are the steps I've done so far:
(1) Pressed F8 repeatedly before Windows started
(2) Held down F8 before Windows started.
(3) Pressed F8 + Fn (Function key) repeatedly before Windows started
(4) Held down F8 + Fn (Function key) before Windows started.
(5) Went to Start>Search programs and files, typed in msconfig and nothing happens, no results
(6) Went to Start>Search programs and files, typed in cmd and nothing happens, no results
(7) Went to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Run, then typed in msconfig and prompted with "Windows cannot access C:\Windows\system32\msconfig.exe"
(8) Went to Start>Search programs and files, typed in System Configuration and nothing happens, no results
(9) Went to Run again and typed something in suggested online but I can't remember what the line was but it kind of seems like it might have been "C:\Windows\system32\msconfig.exe" I

tried to look at the dropdown next to the Open field but didn't see that previous entry I made so I'm not 100% sure that's what I entered.

I read somewhere msconfig is saved on the C:\ drive. I'm not sure but maybe that's why I can't access it because I can't access that drive. However, I would think if that was the case

then I couldn't get on Internet Explorer like I am now since it's also on the C:\. I find that some programs and parts of the system work and some don't.

I did find that if I go to Run and type in cmd that the Command Prompt does pop up if that helps any.

So to wrap things up I just need as many alternative ways to get to the Safe Mode without damaging or deleting my files so I can see if I can save them in that boot mode. I don't care

about the system, if I can get my files off I will just wipe the whole thing off and start from scratch (or use the Dell DataSafe Local Backup that I did when I first got the laptop). So I

beg of you please don't confuse me with any suggestions that will save the system but will delete my files because that would be devastating. I only care about my files that I cannot

replace. If I can get the files saved then maybe after two nights of not being able to sleep I can finally get a good night's rest.

If I still can't access Safe Mode or if it still doesn't work in Safe Mode then I'll come back on here and either start a new topic or add back onto this one with a full explanation (my

novel) of what has happened over the last 3 days (Actually some guidance on whether I should continue with this thread or start a new topic would help too).

I do well with directions that are very specific, step-by-step, and that don't assume I know what I'm doing...because I don't, I'm not that computer savvy.

Rest assured, after this I will be the best good-little-boy ever about backing up my files.

THANK YOU for any help I get! It's a great thing that you people do on this site!
(sorry to be redundant, I don't care about the system, only the files)



System:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Don't know what Service Packs I have
C:\ - main drive that I can't access
D:\ - alternate drive that I can access (already moved files off of it)
Dell Studio 1749
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz 2.40GHz
(RAM) 8:00 GB
64-bit Operating SystemThere are two ways to do this that I can think of.
First way - do you have either a desktop PC you could hook the drive up to, or another PC of any description with a USB to SATA converter? If so, you could hook the drive up that way, and copy your files off.
Second way - do you have a Windows 7 install disk? Not a restore disk, but a full install disk? If so, you can install Windows back onto the C: drive, and your OLD install will be saved into a folder named windows.old. Your files will still be there, so you will be able to copy them off and then delete the windows.old folder afterwards.

Oh, bonus way - if you can download and burn a Linux LiveCD, you could boot from that, and try to copy your files from there. Puppy Linux is what I usually use as it's quite easy to use, and has enough tools to be useful without being overwhelming for a Linux novice like myself.

Regardless of the method you use, I'd be inclined to do a format and clean install of the laptop after you have your files safely stored away, sounds like something's gone really haywire there and even if you could get it up and running normally, I wouldn't trust it myself because you never know what else may be lurking.

Hope this makes sense, if there's anything you're unsure about just ask, oh and welcome to the forums!Thanks for your reply Calum.

I thought about doing something like using an adapter but the thought of taking my hard drive out myself scares me a bit. I've been thinking I would probably rather take it to the Geek Squad and let a professional do it for $150. I'm kind of considering it as a one-time insurance policy to make sure that I get my data backed up before I start getting too creative with fixing this thing. The last time I took something out of a laptop (my last laptop) I took out a COOLING fan/heatsink/cpu from it so I could replace it and whatever attached it to the motherboard was sort of ruined when I did it because it was melted on and I haven't been able to find that exact part to replace it. So I've had a bad experience.

Unfortunately Dell didn't send an install disk. I guess I figured that if you needed it that you could just go to the Microsoft website, download it, and then enter your Product Key. But I guess I was wrong. Looking back through the box it came in all I find is the Product Key for Office and another piece of paper saying, "Your computer does not ship with the Operating System disc. It is recommended that you create a system recovery media as soon as you set up Microsoft Windows." It suggested to use Dell DataSafe Local Backup and I did do that when I first got it and I put it on a USB key. I've just been afraid if I try to use the backup that it would wipe my files.

As far as installing another operating system I am a little scared to do that too. The first time I attempted to switch out an operating system was in high school (this was a little different because I was trying to replace the OS instead of adding a secondary one). The computer came with Linux and my dad asked me to put Windows on it. When I tried to do that I apparently messed up the partitions and the computer never worked again. The second time I did it was on my old laptop. It had crashed and I planned on just reformatting it and installing Windows back on it. But somehow I ended up just installing a second operating system on it which I guess turned out to be a blessing because when it did that I could get on the second operating system, go into Windows Explorer and CLICK through several folders and get access to my old files like going through the back way. The only other experience I've had reformatting and putting an operating system on it was an old family desktop that we gave to someone else. I reformatted that one and installed a new OS several times successfully. However, I don't recall any part of that process giving me a chance to choose to just add a second OS without replacing the one that was already on there. Even if it did, that desktop came with an install disk and I don't know if the Dell DataSafe Local Backup would prompt me with the same options. But I guess I could do Linux or some other open source OS to do it but I don't know exactly what partitioning is and if I'm supposed to do, not supposed to do it, or even how to do it. Or, for that matter, how to make sure that when I put Linux on it that I don't wipe out the Windows. I guess overall at this point I'm sort of leaning towards just letting the Geek Squad ease my mind and do it for $150 so that I know my data is safe before I start trying to do anything else because I just don't think I have enough knowledge about computers to make sure I don't end up wiping out my data. I'm also hoping once that's done that if I use the Dell DataSafe Local Backup that it will be just as good as if I had the install disk when I am ready to start working on restoring the system.

Any suggestions?

I personally wouldn't pay $150 for Geek Squad to do something like that. Removing the HDD is a lot easier than removing the heatsink, where things do have the potential to go wrong, but equally if you're not comfortable with it then that's fair enough.

As for the OS, I wasn't suggesting installing Linux - a LiveCD is a bootable disk, that loads Linux entirely from the CD, without touching the HDD. It's then a self contained operating system, which will let you access the HDD and the files on it, which may help you get around the whole permissions/corrupted files problem.
As for installing Windows 7, all you would need to do is not delete the partitions when it asks you where to install - you would just select the partition Windows 7 is already installed on, and it goes ahead and installs there, moving the entirety of the old install into the windows.old folder.

I'm not sure how the Dell backup system works, never had occasion to use it, so perhaps someone else may chime in with some more info on how useful, or not, it may be in this case.

Hopefully in the next few hours or so, I'll be doing the Dell DataSafe Local Backup. In case one day someone stumbles upon this thread and has similar questions I'll make sure to get back on and describe my experience with this backup. Then I'll mark it Topic Solved.

Hi,
I have a little PROBLEM with sorting files and folders in Explorer or TC.. For 5 years i GOT system of sorting by date and type (folder or file). That means when I for example downloaded file to my download folder it was the first in list. So from top sorted by date files first and then folders (also by date) under the files. I just needed to FIND one file by size and now i couldnt retrieve my previous settings. Any help?

Win7 64bitShould be able to select View with Details. Then click on the Date Modified tab, top of column of files and it will sort ascending (oldest to newest) or decending (newest to oldest) with each click of the Date Modified Tab.I have tried this already, but folders are STILL prefered instead of files.. With this solution folders come first then files.. I need it other way. Files sorted by date and then (after all files sorted by date) sort all folders by date (bellow the files)..That order can't be changed that i know of...it's always folders 1st...Im afraid it is SOMEHOW possible, because it was like that in default (and im not reinstalling whole pc just because of this).. anyway thx for trying help me SOLVED!! right click-> properties -> adjust (or whats the name of the last tab)-> optimalize this folder for: common items (again not sure if it is best translation)

After 2yrs of successful operation of my Sony VAIO VPCF13Z0E, running Windows 7(64) it has started showing the above error when writing to DVD's of different type and manufacture.

Hi,

I have an OLDER (pre-silver unibody) White MacBook (probably several years old at least) that I loaded Windows 7 on to VIA Boot Camp. It ran fine for a while, and then recently has been crashing on me. It has yet to crash in FRONT of me, but I tend to leave it on pretty much all the time and every so often in the past couple of week I'd COME back to my computer (which is connected to an external monitor, mouse and keyboard) and find that it had "died" - I haven't been as careful in keeping track of how it died, but the most recent time it was simply powered off. When I powered it back on, it went through the start-up options (because it apparently knew it hadn't shut down correctly), and upon booting into Win7 it told me the system had recovered from a serious error and gave me this information:

Some suggestions in this link to that error... driver related or AVG antivirus, I am leaning towards a driver possibly.

I had my laptop stacked away in my closet for about a month after I moved. I finally took it out, but when I pressed the power button, the laptop started, got to the hp splash SCREEN, stayed on it for a while (5 seconds) and then the display went blank and ended up with a CURSOR appearing at the top left of the lcd. Thought it was the hard drive, that the OS has gotten corrupt, so I took out the hard drive and swapped it with a good booting hard drive from another hp laptop. But still the same thing happened. after starting I get the splash screen for five seconds and then the display ends up with a blinking cursor at the top left. By the way, when I tried the original hard drive of the non BOOTABLE laptop in my other hp, it booted up without problem. So it wasnt the hard drive.

Next I took the hard drive out of the non booting laptop. and started the laptop without a hard drive. Same thing happened, splashed screen followed by blinking cursor. So the laptop never got AROUND to reading the hard drive, and it was apparent the problem was with the hardware.

Is this something that can be fixed and in any case what could be causing this behaviorFirst unplug the battery from the laptop and let the laptop sit for 10 min. Then reintroduce the battery to the laptop and see if it boots further.

Also remove and reseat the RAM stick(s) CAREFULLY, with battery removed. Then reconnect battery and try it out.

I'd look in the BIOS if you can get into it and see if it actually detects the hard drive or not. This will tell us if the HDD controller is good and the drive is seen or that the HDD controller is bad.

Lastly you can try to boot off a USB flash drive that has a linux distro on it that is proven a good bootable flash stick by testing on other computer that it will be created from.

Two issues: yesterday I could not open Norton 360 and could not access internet with IE - don't know why/how that HAPPENED - chatted with Norton tech and he fixed the N360 problem - but he had no idea why I could not open IE. Symptom: clicking the IE icon merely produces a very BRIEF flash of what might be the internet, but then disappears. Right now, I'm using Chrome to get on the internet, but sense that something is wrong if I cannot access the 'net via IE. I went to the Microsoft site, described the flash phenom, received a reply with directions I'm unable to understand. I wonder why the two problems appeared at the same time. I have done a full N360 scan and a full Malwarebytes scan. Still cannot get to the 'net via IE. Any insights are greatly appreciated.Quote

==================================================

Hi, welcome to the forums

This problem can be caused by several things. Firstly, try DOWNLOADING the latest graphics drivers and see if that helps the situation at all.

If not, I would suspect faulty memory, as the integrated graphics use system RAM rather than their own. Download Memtest, burn it to a disk, boot from it and let it run, preferably overnight. Any errors will mean you have a faulty stick of RAM, which would need replacing.

Hope this makes SENSE, and helps

Has your problem been solved? I see no evidence that it has.

Why not use WordPad? I'm familiar with AbiWord and I'm not aware of any significant advantage of AbiWord over WordPad. Word 97 *might* install OK but it's a very old version to be using with Windows 7. Again, why not WordPad?

Has your problem been solved? I see no evidence that it has.

got a message in my mail from Howard K but do not find it on here

I recently updated my computer I'm running windows 7, and after I UPDATE and log back on my background is completely red and no PROGRAMS or files will open not even taks manager. Luckily I can restore my computer to before the update but that doesn't really fix the problem. I hope I can get some good news hereYou did the right thug.
Everybody should have a backup plan. Besides the restore feature of windows, it is a good IDEA to make a FULL backup from time to time.

As to your problem, make SURE you have a backup, wait a few days and do the next update next week. Assume it was something that either got fixed or it was a glitch in the download.

A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system. It is often used to describe a transient fault that corrects itself, and is therefore difficult to troubleshoot.

Do not know if my message GOT through to Soybean , thus the new topic

Soybean, I apologize for being so late as so many computer problems. Been through 4 computers in THREE weeks as problems with laptop geting warm even if use COOLING PAD. For two days have had a Sony with Windows Vista and same problem. The other computers had been Windows 7 - HP, Gateway and cannot remember other. Never before had problems with warm laptop, PLUS having problems recovering from the cancer surgery, Plus cursor keeps jumping as it had on others. Probaly will take this back too.

Again, my apologies.

I set my computer to go to sleep after 4 hrs about 4 months ago and it would wake up when I would click the mouse but for the past 2 weeks it wont wake up and I have to cut the power to turn it off and restart it and it brings up the starting options window and I restart it. I dont know if this is an OS problem or what. All help is appreciatedFirst of all, you should tell the forum what sort of compute it is.
If it is only four months old, you should have sent it back to the vendor.Quote from: Geek-9pm on February 03, 2012, 09:31:33 PM

garybear, thanks for the tip. Maybe that will work for the OP.

The craft site I use gives useful TUTORIALS from you tube. My Samsung laptop(only a few months old) will not play them. Samsung have given various SUGGESTIONS. Check with ISP, carry out basic recovery, up date flashplayer etc. I have updated flashplayer. I am not keen to carry out recovery or ISP (BT) until I have checked with CH.
I have checked with my old computer and the problems is the same.
I am on windows 7 64bitWhat happens when you try to play a video? Does it simply do nothing or does it start to play and then stop to buffer more content into memory, and then start, stop, start, etc.?

Visit speedtest.net and run a speed test. Let's see how fast your Internet connection is working.Thank you Soybean for replying. I have run the speed test and the outcome is - download 0.25mbps and upload0.72mbps. Unfortunately this doesn't mean anything to me. I have never carried out that test before. I don't play videos apart from INSTRUCTIONAL videos to do with my electronic organ, and they play alright. It seems you tube is the problem, because when I have been on another organ site, the same problem arises. Sometimes it stops and starts, somtimes doesn't play at all. Thanks again, for taking the trouble to try and sort this out. Look forward to hearing from you. EdnaQuote from: dinkie on February 27, 2013, 04:12:53 AM

I know I have been posting a lot here, but it's because my windows 7 PC is really breaking down. Bought it about one and a HALF year ago, and now it's fan is going loud, problem opening FILES, and nothing was right...maybe because I lend them to my buds a lot. Well now it started to freeze. When I open my browser, 65% of times it's fine. But sometimes when I open my browser, it tarts to load my homepage(Google), and it loads for a few sec, and the browser just freezes(for a long long time, maybe FOREVER), so i try to close it, I cant. so I go ctrl+alt+del. Try to load task manager...then the whole thing freeze solid.

Any HELP is APPRECIATED

Well here is the most EMBARRASSING moment of my career as a young computer builder. I was so excited to install a SSD, that after I cloned my HDD to my SSD I had two drives with the same data on them. What I shouldve done was move C to X then boot from X to change D to C and just boot from C. What I actuallu did was boot from D, said hey its working and delted C. Npw Windows 7 boots to the login screen, then it prepares desktop says build is not genuine and I can not click any buttons and can only load things from task manager... D:widnows/etc. I am certain if I change d to c and load from c all will be fine... i cannot change boot partition however... what do I do?Can contact the manufacturer of the PC and buy a system restore set for less than $40 usually. A friend of mine made a similar mistake cloning a drive once and cloned the empty drive over the drive with the system data. HP sent him a USB thumb drive with the OS on it for a small fee. I think he said it was $35.I am the manufacturer .... You should have the original Windows 7 DVD then with KEY to rebuild it from scratch then ... right?I have the case... with activation code. Disk is MIA... I dunno how.. or why its not where its supposed to be.Firsts rule of DUY is to remember whee you put stuff. If you have a friend with a same Windows 7 DVD, you can use theirs to build your system and activate it using your key to be legal. Otherwise its either find the disc or buy a new one unfortunately.

I actually need to rebuild my MS Home Server one of these days to different hardware and am missing the disc. If I am lucky its still in the DVD Rom of the system that I built as a MS Home Server 2 years ago that is burried under my desk in the corner.

I went to toss away some old CD-ROMs once and decided to take paperclip to them first to check for discs and it was a good thing I did so, I found my Windows 98 SE CD in one of them and White Zombie Astro Creep 2000 CD in another that was missing for years...LOL
Somebody correct me if I am wrong. Which is too often.
But I think there is some way you can get a download from MS or one of its stores.

If you get the right version, all you need is the product key. I believe I did this once for a my brother-in-law. He lost the restore partition on his laptop. But I was able to download a Windows 7 installer that was equal to his. I used his product key and it worked.

I think that is what happened.
Yes you can download Windows 7 ISO's. Here are all the links. I used one to build a bootable flash drive.

Dont working my cd rom :/

Another odd issue for you guys.

This involves two computers, my home computer which is :
OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Video card GeForce GTX 660
Processor AMD A10 5800K processor
Ram 8GB
Motherboard ASUS F2 A85-M PRO
Power supply Raidmax RX-730SS

And my work computer, which is:

iMac OSX, pretty sure it's Mountain Lion BUT:

It has, on VMWare, Windows XP Professional, which is where the error is occuring.

My external is a 1TB Western Digital My Book drive, I also tested a 500GB drive with same results.

The issue and exact happenings:

I placed some files on my drive from SolidWorks (a program) which I had created at home.

I brought the drive to work and plugged it into the iMac, intending to COPY the files from the external to VMWare (XP).

When I attached the drive, it asked if I wanted to connect to the Mac or to XP (Forgot the exact message) but I chose XP.

It stated "Unknown device" on the taskbar, so I went to the Device manager, sure enough, it said "Unrecognized device". I downloaded the WD Drivers from their site and installed them.

Now the Device Manager recognized it as "MASS Storage Device" but it didn't appear in the My Computer spot, in the Disc management it showed the disc as "Uninitialized" and was not assigned a drive letter. On right click, all the options except "Help" were greyed out.

So I brought the drive back home, and it showed up on my home computer as "Uninitialized". I initialized the disc, had to "Create New Simple Volume" and recopied the files.

Next day, brought it back to work, and same thing happened.

I put some files on it from work, and brought the external home, and my home computer can read the files I placed on it at work.

This is fully reproducible, for the last 4 days, with two external drives.

So, somehow, if I place files on an external on my home computer, then attach the drive to my work computer, it will basically wipe the drive.

Other information, in no particular order:

Attaching an external to my work computer if it had previously been attached to my home computer erases it. This only seems to occur from externals from my home computer to my work computer.

Attempts to recover the files (Used Recurva and Puran File Recovery, no files found) all fail. No files are found to recover, even if I never "Initialize" the disc or "Create New Simple Volume".

Files that are placed to the drive from the work computer are read fine on my home computer, but if I bring those same files back to work, it fails if I had plugged the drive into my home computer.

The work computer DOES recognize flash drives without wiping them, which is how I have been moving the files now.

The work computer DOES recognize files on my externals from other work computers (Also iMacs).

I do not need to reinstall the WD drivers each day, it now recognizes the drive immediately but never assigns it a letter, it treats it as a RAW drive and shows it as RAW format

I did try other WD drivers, with same results (if the drivers worked).

The drive also appears empty if I choose to attach to Mac side instead of VMWare. It doesn't appear in Finder, I am not too experienced in Macs. It did not appear in Disc Utilties but it did appear in the System Profile as unrecognized. I expect this, as it is a NTFS drive.

As stated above, I used both a 1TB and 500MB drive, both formatted to NTFS, which, if I remember right, Macs can read but not write to. This didn't bother me, as I just wanted to copy files from the external to XP on VMWare.

The external IS recognized on my work computer IF I haven't plugged it into my home computer first, so once I plug it into my work computer, the drive is wiped. What I mean is, if the drive is plugged into ANY OTHER COMPUTER, IT IS READ FINE. It is only if it was plugged into my home computer THEN work computer that it wipes.

If I plug it into other computers at work, then my work computer, it functions fine. If I plug it into my home computer, then into ANY other computer at work (tested on 5 other iMacs with Windows XP in VMWare) IT IS FINE. The error ONLY occurs when going from Home > MY work computer. It is driving me insane.

Edited to add
I tried several USB ports on both my home computer and the iMac as well as a third enclosure, and different cords. Both externals are the kind that also plug into a wall socket. I tried alternate power cords.

I tied PLUGGING into the USB ports on the keyboard of the iMac as well as directly into the ports on the back to the same result.



It seems odd, it is just files/drives from my home computer to my work computer that is the issue. I tested the externals using the WD hard drive scanner (Forget the exact name, was one of the first things I did) and it came back with No errors, and No failures.

Ran virus scans on both computers, no issues.

Does anyone have a guess about what it could be? Is it my work computer? My home computer? My externals? VMWare? Where should I go from here? What should I do?

Is this post even in the correct spot? As it involves 7, XP, OSX, and an external, I didn't even know where to start. Will gladly post to more appropriate forum if you ask.

I understand this all sounds confusing, I tried to make it as clear as I could. Tried to research the issue on my own, but couldn't find anything related.

Thanks for any help!



Do you mean that your work computer VMWare XP automatically erases the files or it posts an error message first? Most drivers are generic on usb mass storage AFAIK. Have you tried formatting the drive to FAT32/NTFS before taking it back to the work computer?When the drive is plugged into the work computer, the first time it said it didn't recognize it (I needed to install the drivers). I installed the Western Digital drivers for XP from WDs website, and then it recognized the drive, but it showed up as RAW and was not assigned a letter.

The second and each time since then, it states "Mass Storage Device" yet the drive doesn't appear in explorer, in Device manager it states Mass Storage Device, but in Disc Management it states the drive is "RAW" and Uninitialized. It is also not assigned a letter.

If I choose to "initialize" the drive, it appears as "Unallocated".

Basically, the XP acts as if I have plugged in a fresh, never used drive.

There is no error message when I plug in the drive to XP. It recognizes the drive, as far as I can TELL, what it seems to be doing is formatting the drive when I plug it in. But I can't understand why it only does it for drives from my computer (Or why it does it at all).

If I recall correctly, a 1TB drive Can't be formatted to FAT32? I have it currently formatted to NTFS.

Other NTFS drives DO work in the XP computer, IF they haven't been plugged into my home computer first.

Flash drives DO work from my home computer to my work computer.

Thanks!

The VMware community such as this thread might help you. A worth trial and error procedure is to format the NTFS WD drive back to FAT32. I've read there is a software for WD drives that are 1 TB more or less in capacity could convert them for certain purposes. Make sure to backup your documents before proceeding with this method.

How to Format a WD external drive?Thank you Jason2074, I will try looking around the VMWare forums before posting there, maybe they do have a solution.

Just as an aside, formatting to FAT32 didn't help either. The drive is still showing up as "Uninitilized" and "Unallocated" when being plugged into my work computer.

At this point, I am simply using a flash drive instead, so this issue has become moot, just one of those quirks I will need to work around.

Not quite solved, but thanks for all the help! See if this WOULD help. For VMWare Fusion http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1021853First, thank you very much for you hard work and sharing it with the forum. This information is very valuable. It is important to know not just what does work, but what does not work.
This post is not a solution. Instead this is a workaround. Maybe two.
A. Use flash drives. The OP has already verified that works.
At one retailer., for $24.99 you can get a 32 GB. Five would be about $125 to give you 160GB, It is not likely you need to transfer very large files.
B. Get another computer. Find one that can work between the others . A laptop or very small computer you can cart between home and work. Do file transfer using the Ethernet, not the USB. (That sis, the USB external stays with the laptop.)

The second idea is on the speculation that the issue is using USB on different computers. The problem should disappear if only Ethernet is used for file transfer. You may find some case where you do USB in but Ethernet out. Or the other way.
Just a suggestion. The Western Digital My Book drive has a built in encryption option. Great for security, not good for data recovery. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. You mentioned file recovery software didn't recover anything. Also the fact the drive needed drivers at work seems unusual.

As far as your wireless, does it have a SWITCH somewhere on the sides or in front?
Did you try Function + F2?
Did you make sure it's turned on in the BIOS?
When you checked device manager did you also check to make sure your wireless device was showing up there?

Hey guys.
Long story short, last night around 1am (AEST) my COMPUTER was working fine, I left it on and went to bed, nobody has access to my room, and since I was asleep, the computer would have been kept the way it was. This morning, I woke up, to which no surprise, my pc was still on, just the MONITOR was on standby, again, nothing unusual. I tried moving my mouse as I usually do to get my pc to wake up and become active again, but it didn't, confused, I tried typing, turning the monitor on and off but to no success.

I turned my pc off and tried again, but same issue occured. Take in mind I have an led lit mouse and keyboard and usually when I turn my pc on, they lit up instantly, but they didn't, and neither did my monitor, it ran the standard asus LOAD up screen then said DVI can not be found. So this means that both the motherboard ports that I usually run my mouse, keyboard and webcam through aren't responding to those devices, because I run a card reader through the front usb ports, I tested that on the back, and it worked, and the graphics card dvi slot isn't responding, I tried running my dvi through my motherboard port, but it's still saying that the DVI can not be found.

After opening up my case, nothing seems to be out of place so I don't understand what could be wrong.

Incase you're wondering, my specs are :

ASUS P8Z77-V LX Motherboard
Intel i5-3570k CPU
HIS HD7850 2G GPU
8GB of old DDR3 ram ( not sure of the maker )
WD 3.5" Blue 1TB Sata3 HDD.

Due to being unable to access the bios since my monitor and keyboard don't work, does anyone know any ways of fixing the issue ? Thanks.What is wattage of power supply? Have you tried running computer with integrated video only and video card removed to see if anything changes with symptoms?

* I have had bad luck with HIS brand cards btw. High failure rate in the bunch I bought for graphics department of a company that I supported.

I run a dual-video ASUS ATI AMD 5450HD VGA/DVI combo and only issues I have are if I am running dual-displays and use my KVM to SWITCH my VGA display, my card gets confused with it going from dual-video out to single video out DVI that is CONNECTED directly to the card. When doing this my audio will make the da-dunk sound same as when a USB thumb drive is removed and I lose my VGA out to a black screen until I reboot the computer. But your issue is far worse if you are losing USB ports etc which may be power supply issue when related to video card also not wanting to behave.I've tested numerous things, I decided to get an adapter and run my monitor with VGA through to my laptop, same as my mouse and keyboard, and they're working fine. I think I may have an issue with my motherboard, I've had it for around, 6 months and use it everyday for hours on end.
I think due to the high stress it's been under, it's lost capability and is no longer receiving connectivity from the ports.

The power supply I run is a bronze 600W.
I'll be working towards a new motherboard over the course of the next 2 weeks, if the new motherboard fixes the issue, I'll leave an updated post here for anyone else who may have an issue like this in the future.

OS-windows 7

I got a copy of source project from my coworker. He built it with VC2010 and RAN it at WIN7 and POS-2009 well.
I built it in my Win7 using VC2010 or 2012. Then I ran it successfully at Win7 for either one, but failed to RUN @ POS-2009, which is Win-XP compatible.
Is there any DIFFERENCE I should notice in building program for Win-7 and POS-2009? Anyone helps me? Thanks.See Here...What? Mr. Patio, what did you really mean? Thanks for your REPLY.

Speedfan cannot control laptop, I my fan speed is built in the BIOS, but is there some kind of way to take complete control of the fan speed on a laptop? thanksSpeedfan will control PRETTY much any controllable fan, as it will interface with almost all sensors and chips, although some do need setting up.
Notebook Hardware Control and i8kFanGUI are two other possible solutions, though they're unlikely to work if Speedfan doesn't - and if they do work, it's LIKELY Speedfan will, too, with a bit of fiddling.Quote from: Calum on August 20, 2013, 07:40:03 AM

Hacker, sorry. I neglected to mention that it's already going to Spam. I want it to be filtered and go directly to trash and not find it in my Spam folder every day! I feel like I have to check Spam every day just in case something got put in there that shouldn't have been. It's a Yahoo account and they seem to be having trouble with everything these days - hijacking, sign-ins, etc. Thanx.

I start my Windows 7 computer and when it gets to the desktop, after the wifi connects, a blue screen pops up with page_fault_in_nonpaged_area.

I am currently using windows 7 pro and have been on the microsoft website and BOUGHT windows 7 home. I have backed up all my files etc as I thought it WOULD of been a clean install but when I went to install it i got a message saying I had to buy windows 7 product key and something about windows set up.
Microsoft have not been helpful and I am at my wits end I have spent a LOT of time and money on this and have hit the wall ...can someone please explain what I have to do but in real laymans terms please.
Thanks in advance
I use a samsung laptop with my life on it running 64 bit??? (apparently)Not sure why the downgrade from Pro to Home but thats none of my business...
I can tell you however that the Win activation HOTLINE which is an 800 # and toll free works great from all my past experience...If it was a legitimate Windows 7 Home disc, it should have come with a product key on the case. If that's the case and you're still having an issue with activation, you need to ask Microsoft as Patio said.

I am struggling to play some new songs in my library.
The songs in my music FOLDER always opened and STARTED to play on itunes.
There is no problem with itunes as I can play music that is already in the library.
When i go to open a music folder it just gives the ''loading'' icon for a second or two and then nothing happens.
I cannot open previous FILES that have managed to open and play without any problems either.
Any suggestions what could be wrong?
thanks
P.s.....sorry if this is in the wrong section itunes imports your library from wherever you keep your music on your HARD drive, such as C:users/yourname/documents/music but itunes imports it and calls it your itunes library. so if you go into your music folder and rename something, or move it, and itunes hasn't refreshed your library, then it won't play the song because it's been changed or moved.

that would be my guess.thanks for the reply but it's been SORTED now

I have a new computer added to my working network all other computers are working fine The new computer shows the network but when to connect to another computer on the network it ask for a user a name and PASSWORD. None of the other computers pave passwords. All the others connect without a password. What am I doing wrong network settings are all the same on each computer?Windows 7 will default to passwords. But your can change that.
Here is a post something like yours.

Letting CCleaner clear cookies does not affect passwords. If you view the Applications tab in CCleaner, you'll see that Saved Passwords is a specific option. So, un-select that option if it is selected.

I find IE to be the worst or most inconsistent browser with regard to saving passwords. I'm comparing it to Firefox, Opera, and CHROME. Allan -
You suggest stop using CCleaner because it does not do anything. I use it because it gets rid of all cookies which take up room and are not useful. Is there a better way to get rid of unnessary things and keep your memory as small as possible? ThanksCookies take up essentially NO space. Deleting them does not increase performance or space on your hard drive. What do you mean by "keep your memory as small as possible"? Memory is not hard drive space (and cookies have no effect on either). Exactly what do you want to do?Allan -
As you can see I don't know very much. What I try to do is keep my computer as CLEAN (no unnessary files) as possible. CCleaner gets rid of temp files. I seem to end up with a lot of them. The original problem I asked about was the remember me not remembering. I THOUGHT it was fixed but it is back. It is not a big DEAL and I am taking up too much of people's time. Thanks but let US drop the problem. Bobsoybean -
The saved passwords was not checked. I am using IE because it was what I started with and I don't want to learn a new OS. I can get along with what little I need a computer for without trying something new. As I suggested to Allan, let us drop this thread. Thanks for your help. BobThat's what we're here for Bob.

The way I delete my temp files is to daily go into my temp folder and delete them. But if you prefer a 3rd party app like ccleaner that's fine.

I could uninstall it, but I don't have the originall system FILES to replace it.Chris,

Sorry, I'm not a programmer, just a LOWLY computer tech with his own business.

My advice to you would be:

a. back up all your data
b. wipe the drive and start over with a legitimate Windows cd (sounds like you might have to BUY one)
c. get that removable drive bay I recommended + another hard drive (unless you want to use your second drive instead)


Now you can do all the things you want & not have to worry about losing data.

Oh, another thing. Get Acronis True Image (newegg.com). Make an image to some other place as M$ is a real punk when it comes to MULTIPLE installs in a short period of time.

Good luck!

Alan <>< :-)I once tried the Vista Transformation PACK (written by Windows-X).
It was soon after that when I bought a Windows CD to reformat and reinstall Windows.

I have added a new computer to my NETWORK and it is not SHOWING the other computers on the network windows 7? Any ideas how to fix. Ojas Make sure the new computer added is in the same workgroup as the other computers, which may be named workgroup, mshome, home, or ANYTHING else etc. They all need to match, otherwise you will not see the other computers because the other computers are part of a different workgroup which by design will not SHOW them.

This PROBLEM appeared yesterday:I cannot open any txt files. Any txt files that I creat or created before would not open.
Error message:Windows cannot open the specific path, file or device. You may not have the appropriate permission to access it.
Thanks for any help
Whitebeard1 What happens if you rite clik the file and select "Open with" ? ?I clicked "open with", then "notepad". I still could not open it. That's what I thought the problem might be, but it did not WORK. It mentions permission issues...who else USES the PC ? ?hey guys thx. i FOUND that it was a permission problem(my admin accidentally disabled my files)

I GOT a copy of SOURCE files including VC's project relative files from my coworker. This is a project created by VC 2010. I opened with VC 2010. I built it and failed. The error message is as follow. My coworker environment is on Win7/32bit CPU, and mine is Win7/64bit CPU. The only difference between my coworker's environment and mine is 32-bit vs 64-bit. How come he can build it successfully but I can't.

Hi, I have my laptop Dell 1454, running Vista home premium SP1 and decided to send downloads to the desktop. So a bit of research, and thought I'd set it up correctly.
(and it's not too bad actually).
However now I have a folder on the desktop called "Desktop". Not exactly what I wanted.

I though, (as in the past) the download just goes to the desktop called whatever the download is.. eg. firefox setup. An icon appears on the desktop that says Firefox setup, double click and it will install.

So where it all went wrong was, in the window where you select the folder to send downloads to.

What I have in that menu bar is something like "C:\Users\1440 ImnoGuru\Desktop\Desktop". This STRING now, will not let me change it? (I can change it to another folder but not change the wording of the string.)

I thought to delete the second "desktop" wording, might RESOLVE the folder "desktop" and just have the downloads go to the desktop.

I HOPE I have explained myself properly.

So if someone can offer a solution to my problem I would be most grateful.

Thank you ImnoGuru The way i have mine setup is i created a folder under C: called Downloads and pointed to that in the browser as the DLoad destination...then right clik the DLoads folder and create a shortcut to the Desktop for easy access.
In your case you already have the folder on the Desktop...simply right clik it and RENAME it Downloads...or do the method above.Yep that cured it thanks patio.

I wanted a folder on the desktop. and it was set for downloads before hand. Just for some reason it wouldnt let me change the location after I had finished with the downloads. ( must have been solar flares. Coz it all come good now).

I just wanted to copy a few files to a thumb drive to transfer to another computer.. actually MBAM SAS, so on to get rid of any infections in his computer. I also wanted to test out all the ports on his computer to make sure they all functioned. ((so far so good) 2749 threats OMG)

Ok now I can delete the desktop folder then.
Thanks patio.Those pesky solar flares can be a real pain...

Glad you're all fixed up.

Hello,

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. When I launch more than one of the same program let it be a built in program like notepad, Internet Explorer or a third party program like Microsoft Excel 2010 or Firefox, they always are attached side by side and move as one when dragging to another location in the Taskbar. I need my opened programs to act as separate entities for example, I open two notepads and then I need to be able to grab one of them with my mouse in the taskbar and drag it away from the other notepad to a location next to another program while leaving the other notepad still in its place. I am looking to do this not for a two monitor usage but for the same one monitor. I know the trick to be able to drag let us say a Microsoft Excel 2010 program to the next monitor separate from other Excel sheets already opened is to open a new Microsoft Excel manually and open your file manually. This trick does not work for what I am asking. The next trick everyone seems to post online is right click on your taskbar and choose never combine. This only allows the non stacking of the same program like more than one notepad open and stacked within each other represented by one icon on your taskbar. I need the answer as I am asking it and not an alternative like so many people are posting. Many people are asking my specific question and no one seems to understand, or if they do they don't seem to have an answer. The last best answer I was able to find online was to find a third party program that can do this. How do you even write the question properly in a search engine to even pull up such a program. I have tried and search engines are not getting the concept of what I am asking, so no third party program is coming up in the results that say they can do what I am and others are asking. Can anybody help? Quote from: Torin on August 11, 2013, 01:18:20 AM

I want none of the programs that I open to belong in groups.

If there is away to not group any of the programs to allow free movement, then please let me know.

XP allowed both to have their way, with 7 it is one way or no way.

I found this article on the subject. It recommends an application called "Windows 7 Taskbar Tweaker" which is found here. It seems to provide the specific option required here, Through the "Grouping" option.

But, I could not see how that was accomplished in the Windows 7 Taskbar Tweaker control panel.

Most likelyTo Fed: Thank you the fix was to get rid of E A Updater and the add/remove gets displayed properly. Now i will have to see if that was causeing a problem with new install of vidio card. One can hope it would be that easy!!

thanks again for your help.It seems it's a common problem with program uninstallers failing to remove the actual entry.
If you Goggle for +"add remove programs" +black you will see what I mean.
How did you remove the entry, with ccleaner tools or a registry edit?I would have never thought of doing a search such as that ,very interesting stuff.
Yes i did use the remove entry in CCleanerForgot to mention i was able to install new 7600gs just fine after all that drama, sure am glad i am skeptical of what store techs say, they wanted me to wipe the HD and do a clean install of OP sys.

Thanks again time for Farcry addon levels and modsHave you SEEN the addon level with the swimming sharks?
The best Farcry patch is the nocd patch
I'm on my second run through it, stuck in that Volcano level Do not recall if i have, got a level or mod name for it? I have been through something similar as far as a very vilant and diligent mutants around a VALCANO, you have to drive over a messed up bridge before the action heats up?
I do not have a nocd patch does that mean i do not need to put cd in all the time?
I'll put up a list of the addon levels I've played or LOOKED at later, it has to be one of those.

That's where I'm at, over the bridge, up the hill, jump the lava river and carry on up the next hill on foot.
Those big dudes sure are tough.

I use the nocd patch to avoid using the DISK, I don't consider it piracy because I have the original.
(It's just a replacement exe file)I remember the spot but not the level name, took me some time to get through it.
I like the idea of nocd ,saves time and wear&tear on system.
Here is my list if it will send.One more thing, i need to make a retraction.
Yes useing CCleaner solved the add/remove display problem
BUT
the drivers and card issue was in the registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Enum
PCI
need to right click and CHECK full control in order to install properly.
