  • Cannot restore to factory settings - Pavilion a1767c Media Center

    My computer has a "C++ Runtime error' when trying to restore to factory settings with"restore disks. What would cause this?

    Details:

    My system works with Vista. It's an older model but I had no problems with it until it started to freeze at startup and when using Vista (BIOS outdated?). I got the HARD drive tested and it seems to be operational. "However, when I try to use my restore disks from" he published a "Miscrosoft C++ Runtime Error' after that selection of the restore process - close this window of error leads to restore failed.

    The HARD drive has been formatted before restoring, I don't remember. Could this have damaged the recovery section, as everything I have in the recovery partition is an empty folder of recovery and a pcdr.ini file? Please notify.

    WMC, welcome to the forum.

    Here's a guide to help in the recovery process.  There is a video, too.

    It could be a failure of the power supply unit (PSU) the origin of freezing problems.  Here is a guide to help you solve the problem.  The power supply can cause problems that seem not to be related.  It may be related to the problem of recovery you encounter, as well.

  • Unable to access Windows Update HP Pavilion dm4 Windows 7 64 bit

    My setting for Windows Update has always been - automatic.  When I realized that the update had done nothing since April, I tried an update manually and repeatedly getting the message: ' Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. "  You may have to restart your computer", I restarted, tried MS 'FixIt' - no change.   64-bit HP Pavilion dm4 window 7

    Paul - the link was not one I wanted to try. I found this fix on the Forum of MS response:

    Go to Control Panel > click on Windows Update

    Click change settings (upper-left)

    under updates, click on the drop down arrow

    Click never check updates

    Press OK

    Close the Control Panel window

    Then the closing session and Re-start Windows fresh.

    When you're ready, go back into the Control Panel > click on Windows Update

    Click on change settings (upper-left)

    under updates, click on the drop down arrow

    Now make the choice you need for automatic updates

    Press OK when done

    Close the Control Panel window

    Then make a fresh visit to Windows Update.

    If you have already tried the fixes that didn't work, the foregoing can at least get a point better, "but with update errors then you can do a system restore.  I did mine to the last point of "automatic system restore" which was 31/05/12.

    It worked for me and I spent 2.5 hours installing all missed updates.  My computer works better when it is new!

    Hello

    The first thing I would check is that the disk you created will start in another machine - just to rule out a problem with the drive itself.

    If the disc seems to be Ok, try rather to create a bootable ISO repair flash drive - an example of the kind of utility, you need is on the following link.

  • Satellite P200 - 17 c - I want that back factory settings

    Things have been fine with my p200 until recently when vista went a little weird after the hard disk is nearly full. Now I want to go back to its original state. However, I can't find or remember to have a vista disk. My friend suggested is perhaps already on my drive hard, but I can't. As you can see I'm pretty useless with computers, so I throw myself at your mercy.
    Help, please

    If this model of laptop comes with the recovery image on the HARD drive, you can find it on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery. I don't know what is happening with the second partition, but you can try to follow:
    -start your laptop and press F8 to display the advanced startup options
    -Enter repair my computer option is available
    -When you enter repair Vista if console control Toshiba Recovery option is available

    If you will not be able to enter these options or if this Toshiba Recovery option is not available there is nothing you can do, except to order the new recovery media.
    You can do so under the https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    Bye and good luck!
