• Acer Aspire its problems after Win 7 Pro and the new installed HARD drive

  I have an acer aspire 8735 laptop g-6502 which has recently undergone a WD 500 GB drive HARD failure. I replaced that with a 7200 RPM Hitachi 1 TB drive and given that I don't have a Win 7 original used a disk Win 7 Pro with an extra friend.

  Windows 7 Pro and HARD disk installation went smooth. But now when I plug an HDMI cable to watch through my Marantz receiver, comes from the video, but I have to do manually the Marantz the default audio device for sound. When I unplug the HDMI, I must return to the parameters of sound and unenable Marantz and re - activate the Realtek audio.

  Before the drive died HARD, happen all perfectly when you plug the HDMI cable in and the fact to disconnect without any fiddling around with settings.

  I also have a few other questions:
  1. the touch volume control next to the numeric keypad does not control the volume more
  2. the keyboard key used to have a setting to display it. You can use two fingers on a tablet to drag the image to the screen bigger and smaller.

  I looked the site of Acer and also used my drive Application and drivers to reinstall everything that looked related to these issues. When first, I installed Win 7 Pro I let Windows find the appropriate drivers. It worked for some things but not others.

  Any ideas? I have a few scratches on my face and my forehead in frustration pain making me beat me here. Funny, but true, so all ideas are appreciated!

  Here's my screen design Mgr impression - there's an 'unknown' device IDK how to understand what it is.

• I have a dell latitude 610 laptop that I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp pro and it does not have all the internet apps

  When I reinstalled win xp pro it didn't install any help net drivers that I can't get on internet

  If you cannot access to the use of the internet, another computer and save the driver on a CD/DVD/card reader.

  Download network drivers for Internet

  Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model if they have drivers for your version of Windows. Download the driver and then follow the instructions to install.

• How can I keep all emails on the server if my hard drive fails

  My hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  I have lost all emails Windows live program.

  I would recommend to use IMAP instead of POP3, however if it were to be POP3:

  1. file
  2. Options
  3. e-mail accounts
  4. Select your account and click on properties
  5. Hop on the tab advanced
  6. Make sure these options are checked: "leave a copy of messages on the server" and "remove the server after deleting"Deleted items"

• Read only folders and files on external hard drive

  Windows 7 keeps setting the already existing folders and files on my external hard drive for read only. I used the Properties dialog box to remove read-only from the folder and all subfolders and files. This seems to run correctly, but of course, this isn't.

  It is a serious aggravation and wonder if there is a fix that I have not been able to find. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I understand that after saving a file with a different name, her attribute "removes the read-only" you have no problem with again to change. If the problem is related only to files that have been previously registered with Windows XP.

  You can try this: move one of the old files on your desktop > make sure that the read-only attribute is not checked > bring it back to your external drive > check is possible to edit now. If it will work, you can just do this for all your files, simply by copying both.

  ...

  I also wonder what users are listed under security settings: right click on the file > properties > Security tab. It should be rated "everyone" in its own right.

• Within the last week, that all the folders and files on my hard drive were selected 'read only '.

  I unflagged all the folders and files that I share on my home network, however, I am not able to rename them or save them on my PC from my laptop on my wireless network. This has happened since May 12 and I suspect an auto update changed or recover from something.

  Running Vista Home Premium SP2 on PC

  Laptop is Windows 7

  Thanks for getting back to me Mick!

  I did a restore to 5/10 when I had no problem, but the problem persisted.

  I'll have to try Norton support. This may be something they did.

  In the meantime, I managed to change the names of files by connecting to the PC with the account of my wife who as co-owner had equal rights and the sign of the laptop is its ID as well so it worked, but it isn't always fair.

  Once again, thank you...

  Please note that Windows 7 Release Candidate is a preliminary version of Windows and should not have has been used as a release candidate.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• missing Ntoskrnl.exe and other errors when who reinstall windows 7 pro 64-bit

  I had windows installed on a HARD drive and received an SSD and I decided on the SSD HARD drive image, so I wouldn't have to reinstall. As I suspected it might that cause some problems and I decided to simply wipe the SSD drive and attempt to reinstall. I wiped the SSD and started my windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 DVD. It will pass through the first process (Windows loading files) with the screen of levels of grey and the downstairs, but subsequently loading bar, I get an error telling me that the ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged, and I have no option other than to try again to load the disc, or stop. I have another disc of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit I tried to use, and it gave me the same message. There are a few other errors I received, I do not at the moment, but as soon as I get some time and if I get them again once I will update the thread with this info.

  I also ran memtestx86 and there were errors with a specific location, but I just removed the RAM of this niche and I guess it should be OK after that. Am I wrong?

  I am the computer OEM. If I need to provide more information please let me know and I can accommodate.

  Thank you.

  The problem was with RAM. One of my 4GB DIMMS was bad. I removed and changed my poles autour needed and I could boot disk Windows 7 Pro and install correctly.

  A faulty RAM stick was causing the problem.
