Backup of Windows 7 - cannot specify registration location other than the root of a drive by default on a local drive.

To backup windows 7, is there a way to specify a subfolder on a drive to where the utility will save the backup? Looked everywhere, but it seems to default to the root. Is this by design?

THX.

Windows 7 Edition using Home Premium.

Hi Airforce111,

I'm afraid to say that it is not possible to customize a folder as is the case of the architecture of the operating system.

  • Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

    No Option to install repair - SAD

    Hello

    Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

    I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

    As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

    Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

    "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

    «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

    As Todd, is the answer.

    "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

    Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

  • How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?

    How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?

    For example, a border: a black line with a width of 1, then a transparent line with a width of 5. Inside, it's the content pane.

    In JavaSE, there seems to be for the JFrame paintComponent() method to realize the effect.

    I can't see what you're trying to do now: it's a little trickier. You need stage.initStyle (StageStyle.TRANSPARENT), and I think you have to imitate the transparent part of the border by the presence of a second vessel inside the root container, properly positioned.

    Something like:

    
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.application.Platform;
    import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
    import javafx.event.EventHandler;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;

      AnchorPane root = new AnchorPane();
      root.setStyle("-fx-border-color: black; -fx-border-width: 1px; ");
    
      StackPane mainContainer = new StackPane();
        AnchorPane.setTopAnchor(mainContainer, 5.0);
        AnchorPane.setLeftAnchor(mainContainer, 5.0);
        AnchorPane.setRightAnchor(mainContainer, 5.0);
        AnchorPane.setBottomAnchor(mainContainer, 5.0);
      mainContainer.setStyle("-fx-background-color: aliceblue;");
      root.getChildren().add(mainContainer);

  • HyperBowl will not start in XP SP3 / cannot install Windows update KB924867 (service pack is newer than the update...)

    original title: hyperbowl will not start in XP SP3 / cannot install KB924867

    Hello

    I just reinstalled windows XP and done all the updates. I then reinstalled hyperbowl 3d and it will not open up. Now it used to be that if you ran the update:

    Update for Windows XP (KB924867) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=6446

    It would solve this problem (see http://hyperbowl3d.com/oldsupport.html).

    I downloaded the update, and it says:

    "Setup has detected that the version of Service Pack for this system is newer than the update you are applying"

    So I can't install the update. Is it possible to reinstall this hotfix without remove SP3 or is there another work around, I can use?

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome & thank you for your comments.

  • WINDOWS CANNOT FIND ANY ADDITIONAL NETWORK (DIAL-UP AND VPN) OTHER THAN THE WIRELESS NETWORK

    ehmm I just installed nokia 6600 pc suite on my computer so I can access the internet on my computer through the usb cable. Installation and drivers have been installed correctly. I can access the internet on the handset but when trying to connect to the internet via USB with the computer "I get a message that windows cannot find any additional network." Its really disturbing that I can do to fix this. Can someone help me please.

    Even if a USB device, it does not create a new network connection for you.  I fear also that you use a regular USB cable - those connections often require a crossover cable (but more on that later and I guess it should work it is how it is advertised).  Go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing center / set up a connection or network / and choose the first option (you can also check the main page to see if the connection is listed but I doubt it).  Choose to set up a new connection and follow the instructions - ensuring that you enter the correct settings when it is required.  You should perhaps install device drivers, firmware and or software for the device to work properly - read the installation mode (and call technical assistance from Nokia to help you put in place - they know more about what we do and should be happy to guide you through the process and even to set the settings on your computer until you log - that's what I would do in your before circumstane even of) ask for help here).

    To start / Control Panel / Device Manager and check all the new drivers (double clck on them) to confirm that they say that they do not work properly.  Go to start / Control Panel / Add Haedware and have the system check new hardware devices - if it finds, install them (it is perhaps what is missing in this process).

    I hope this helps.  If nothiing suggested I bring, don't hesitate not to contact Nokia for assistance - I'm sure they'll have you place and operate at any time.  Keep me in the loop.

    Good luck!

  • After installing Windows 7 using MDT, Windows displays the message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running.

    Hi all

    I worked on creating a better system for my business get an OS up-to-date with all the required software, settings, and drivers. I have previously using WDS as autonomous and just syspreping images and pushing them up until he became incoherent and corrupting of the parts of the image. I did a little surfing on the web and discovered that many computing professionals use MDT to produce images of quality with all the customization they need. So that's the problem.

    The image works fine. I'm able to customize the way in which I need to and get most of my successful deployed pilots (problem with trackpad drivers), but the error message I get when I try to run a windows update is "windows that update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running." After I received this message I check my services and it shows the update of Windows running service and long-term as well running services. Tried to restart as suggested and still no results. Undertook research for a possible fix and still nothing.

  • Machine of Windows 7 cannot see itself or other computers on the network.

    I work with a volunteer organization, is attempting to add a new computer to their network. Add the new computer is a laptop running Windows 7 Professional (32-bit, 6.1 build 7601).

    It is one of the three computers that connect via a wireless network, with the remaining three computers connected by Ethernet.
    One of the laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 - bit, 6.1 build 7601) and the laptop rest and three desktop computers running XP Professional (5.1, build 2600).
    The laptop running Home Premium has no problem with connectivity. He can see himself and all the computers on the network (with the exception of the new Windows 7 Professional machine). The XP machines can all be seen and also the machine Windows 7 Home Premium.
    The Windows 7 Professional machine, however, cannot see itself, or one of the machines running on XP. It may, for some reason, see the Windows 7 Home Premium machine.
    I can ping each computer on the network from him and he can ping other computers. I can even connect using his IP address and access the folders and files shared like this, but nothing I have seems to change him will appear.
    I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials, neither of which has an effect any. The computers are all in the same workgroup and network machines Win 7 is set to work on both.
    I can't understand why this new computer should have these problems, I'm not a professional so there is probably something basic, I missed, but if anyone has any ideas I would be much obliged.
    Thank you very much.
