CA Compaq CQ50-228: my windows vista files are corrupted

Hi, I have a lot of problems with my laptop because my previous hard drive mess up my files of the window.

I can't do windows restore, time will change at least once a day, I get strange noises, if I have two or more browsers for too long, the portable computer to blue screen and close and I have other questions. I try to repair my files of the window with a program, but it did not work. My windows vista was preinstalled on my laptop and I've only done a drive recovery 8 years later. My laptop was purchased in 2007. I try to use windows vista that I downloaded from a site but he had problems and the internet couldn't work. I read somewhere that all with windows preinstalled necessary to use the windows of the company that made the labtop. Is it possible that the HP can sell me the same windows vista I have on my labtop? or is it possible that the HP can sell me windows 7 that can work with my labtop? I'm afriad that my labtop explode .  I see that HP has recycling of products and if I can't get the windows recovery disc, I want to get at least $250 for my labtop because I paid $500 something for her. A few months ago, I put in a new hard drive and the fan in laptop which cost about $80 something. Thank you.

Your request for more information then they can give you will be impratical for them to do it for you if you wait more than an older system. You should try is to see if they still have the recovery media for you system to restore your system and if not your only choice is to buy a RETAIL Windows and reinstall site system drivers driver HP to get it back and working. If roll back you to Vista it should match what has been installed not what you want to install, and also there is a chance that your product key is removed for a long time to use as well for any Vista install which is why the recovery media is the best way to go if you can still get...

  • Problems with importing photos using Windows - Photo files are corrupted in the Gallery windows

    I use Windows to import images from my camera (Canon Rebel EOS) to the computer (HP) and display them in the Windows Photo Gallery.  Recently, the photos in the Gallery become corrupt once downloaded, which means they download fine then when I open "Images" to see in the Gallery, they photos each are corrupted with ribbons of various colors, or the image is cut into strips to compensate.  It didn't happen when I uploaded the same photo files to another computer so I know that is not the fault of the camera or individual files.  I scanned for a virus (I use AVAST).  Can I fix this, or is there any other software I should use to download files?  I'm just a MOM ol ' ordinary looking to transfer the zillions of photos that I take my children.  Help!

  • Right click in Windows vista file is not open after the restoration.

    I want to talk about problem laptop from my brother. One day her laptop stopped working suddenly, after only a few minutes the Vista operating system restored the system to a previous state (4 months ago).

He (my brother) is unable to click any file, click function right does not.

  • Cannot reinstall Windows Vista because the Windows.old file is corrupted.

    I hope someone can help! I'm about to pull out my hair! :)

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720, under Windows Vista Home Premium, with 3 GB of ram. SP2

    I had problems with error messages

    Here are some of the messages I was getting.

    "Dell Quickset has stopped working"

    "Windows Management Instrumentation has stopped working"

    "The user profile service has stopped working".

    "Windows Update has stopped working"

    There were a couple more but I do not remember. They are all gave me the ability to check online for a solution I have chosen and the message would go for a while, but not forever.

    I'm tired of dealing with him, so I used my Dell disk to reinstall Vista. I did not choose the repair option first. I chose to do a clean install. When I got to the last step where it says "Complete the Installation", it gave me an error message telling me that the "Windows.old" file is corrupted. I do not have wright the rest of the information down, but he told me to run the check disk utility. (I think it has been shown as chkdsk). I clicked 'OK' and the screen went black and stayed like that for an hour. I turned off the computer and repeat all the steps but always goes to the black screen and stops. I tried to use the fix and it found a problem immediately and that fixed it, but after reboot, same thing. Yesterday I ran again the repair option, and it still works today. All night and nothing. She is still ongoing as I type this message. My question is how to run disk utility to check without an operating system installed? Use the "Diagnostic" option when I boot the disk from Dell? Any ideas on how I can get reinstalled Vista?

    Boot from the Dell cd and run diagnostics

    The issue here is not one of which version of Windows you are using.
    It is one of what you have installed applications.
     
    The answer is Yes, if you have WordPerfect (or some compatible)
    program) installed on Windows Vista. The answer is no, if you do not.

  • The computer says to run chkdsk b/c the program files are corrupted. When I run chkdsk/r, it indicates that the NTFS is locked and I have to restart to run chkdsk. When I reboot, the chkdsk never runs.

    Original title: Program Files gone?

    Recently, I started my computer and noticed that a bunch of files are corrupt, and left most of my shortcuts.  I went into Program Files and discovered the entire file completely empty.  The computer says to run chkdsk b/c the program files are corrupted.  When I run chkdsk/r, it indicates that the NTFS is locked and I have to restart to run chkdsk.  When I reboot, the chkdsk never runs.

    My wife has all of its graduates work on the computer, I backed up since then, but I try to avoid doing a restore of the entire system.  Can you help me?

    I am running Microsoft XP.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your XP system.  For XP support please visit the link below
    http://www.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?DG=Microsoft.public.WindowsXP.General

    Also, try to start the computer in Mode safe.
    When the computer is switched on 1, start pressing F8 until you get a menu of Windows startup, choose Safe Mode.

    Sounds like something important happened (corruption).  If you have important data there (for example, your wives, diploma work), I would strongly suggest taking the computer to a qualified technician so that they can recover data out of there before the drive goes down or the o/s is too damaged.

    Good luck

    Hello

     
     
    1. What is the full/exact error message?
    2. When you receive this error message?
     
     
    Follow the steps.
     
     
    Method 1
    Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.
     
     
    Step 1
    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. Please click the below mentioned link.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
     
     
    Step 2
    Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: After you have performed the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 7 the link to start the computer to a Normal startup mode.
     
     
    Perform the virus scan and make sure that your computer is virus-free.

     
    Method 2:
    Run Microsoft Online Scanner.
    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
    Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data can be lost.
     
    Also, make sure that you have the latest update of the software antivirus installed on your computer, so that it works correctly.
