You try to do a clean install of incorrectly. You can not
Windows, if you are infected with one
virus.

The way to do it is to boot from the Windows installation disc. First
Enter the BIOS Setup program to make sure that your DVD/CD drive is
defined as the first boot device. Then insert the disc in the drive and
Reboot the computer.

Follow the prompts for a clean install. He will begin by
formatting the drive for you.

  • When I go to rip a cd I get message saying that windows is not able to accomplish this task.

    When I go to rip a message from windows cd is that it is not able to accomplish this task. also when I go to change where I whant recorded music it is empty and I'm not able to open to choose where to save it. Windows Media will play music, but that's all

    Hello from the McCanns,

    Thank you for the question!

    I'm sorry to know that have problems you with the ripping. As I understand it impossible to rip a disc and get a message that unable to accomplish this task.

    I need to ask you some questions to help you best.

    Method 1:- You may be able to complete the rip by turning on error correction.

    In Windows Media Player -> click Tools-> Options -> peripheral, click the CD burner, choose > Advanced and set the error correction on it.

    Method 2:- There are two ways to change the rip while settings in the Player library. You can insert a CD into your CD-ROM drive and clickRip settings, or you can click on the Rip music tab in theOptions dialog box. The music tab Rip in the Options dialog box offers additional options that are not available in the Rip settings menu.

    To extract music from a CD, follow these steps:

    a: For best results, make sure that you are connected to the Internet before you begin.

    When your computer is connected to the Internet, the Player attempts to retrieve information from press about the tracks being ripped from an online database. The player then adds the information to the files during extraction.

    Note that you can rip a CD when your computer is not connected to the Internet. However, the player will not be able to identify the name of the CD, the artist who created it, or the names of the songs until you go online.

    b: insert an audio CD into the CD drive.

    c: (Optional) If you want to select another format (for example, MP3 instead of WMA) or bit rate (for example, 192 Kbps instead of 128 Kbps) for files created during extraction, in the Player library, click the Rip settings menu and then click on Format or the quality of the Audio.

    d: (Optional) If you do not want to extract from each song, in the Player library, clear the check boxes next to the songs you don't want to extract.

    e: Click the current playback orRip CD CD Rip button in the library of the player to begin extraction.

    For more information, visit the following link: -.

    Meet us if you encounter problems during extraction or any other problem of Windows, and I'd be happy to help you again and try to correct the problem as soon as possible.

    Good day!

    Hope this information helps.

    No, it is not AFAIK. You can try back LR 6 and then buy the subscription of photographers. You will need to contact Adobe about this.

    I installed Windows 7 Pro to Vista Home Prem Edition.  Back up my HARD drive with the included HP software.  Now I can't get my info on the HARD drive.  When I try to open the computer file backup says msvcr71.dll is missing.  How to install and where?

    Hi dezertdawg,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Msvcr71.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the msvcr71 DLL file. In some cases, the msvcr71.dll errors might indicate a
    problem of registry, a virus or malware problem, or even a hardware failure.

    You can use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to ensure that the system files are intact and replace the file. Follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
