can not get the system restore to work
tried to get the system restore back to an earlier time. says I need to get rid of the useless programs.did who. I have also some icons for files, tools or downloads
In addition to what has been mentioned, consider the following:
First of all, what is the last time that the restoration of the system worked?
Check your system restore settings:
- Click Start
- Right click on my computer
- Click on Properties.
- Click on System Restore
- If system restore is enabled, the column status of a player will show surveillance.
- If not, you can delete ""disable the system restore on all drives ' and then click on OK to activate "
Is both as soon as you try to restore to the most recent available? If so, unless you have specific reasons to keep the previous restore points, clean the rest, so that you have the most recent restore point on the left.
To do this:
1. run Disk Cleanup
2. click on more Options
3. under system restore, click cleaning of
4. click on OK
This will free up the space. System restore needs a minimum of 200 MB of space to work.

Tried to run the system restore, but it will not restore.
Hey AnnEdelstein,
Because you can't get the system restore to work, perform a clean boot on your Windows XP system. The guide to that is here. Which follow, and then try again to Outlook. If it works to the minimum, then boot in the boot, analyse the whole system with your Antivirus and other security you have.Also make sure you have the drivers for the keyboard. Search for the manufacturing of the keyboard, and they should have the drivers on their support site. I hope this has been helpful! -

Browser crash, restart on its own, can not do the system restore. Help!
OK, so I tried EVERYTHING I know how to do, and some things I did research.
Whenever my computer restarts itself, I get an error message saying that there is a faulty driver.
I checked my drivers with the audit tool, nothing.
I uninstalled all unnecessary programs I could find (nothing critical, just programs like Glary Utilities, Acrobat, Flash etc..).
Eventually I got to a point where everything I did was to get worse, and my computer told me that Windows did not start upward. I rebooted in safe mode and tried to do a system restore. Cannot restore point to restore I get an error indicating that the system restore was not successful. I tried FOUR different restore points.
I'm at my wits end!
I don't have my Windows XP cd, or one of the disks with the computer came. This used to be my computer at work, but let me keep as part of my departure, so all the disks are in the old company.
Please help :(
Computer: Dell
Intel Core 2 Duo 2 G of RAM, Windows XP Professional(For some reason, the police in your post is a very light gray!)
Please transmit the full text of the error message.
You used the phrase "everything I've done." In addition to uninstall unused programs, what else do you have?
If your company gave you this PC, they should have you good discs too. Fortunately, Dell XP Pro installation CD are ubiquitous and interchangeable. First of all, contact Dell to see if they can issue you a. Otherwise, see if anyone you know has one.
A number of security (for example, Norton and Zone Alarm) programs interfere with the restoration of the system. If you identify your security programs, we can tell you how you can get the system restore to work. For now, these pages can help:

Compaq nc6400 upgraded xp to win 7 can not get the fingerprint reader to work
I have upgraded xp to win 7, as we will have to do, but can't get the fingerprint reader to work. It appears in the devices that there is one on the machine. I downloaded the drivers for Vista, but they got nowhere. Read in many places as Vista drivers will work but I seem to need more than that. Any clue? Thank you!!!
Hello:
Yes, for Vista fingerprint reader driver is the only one available, but you must install the software HP protect Manager security tools for Windows 7 from the model which succeeded the nc6400, who was the 6910p.
You must also use the W7 driver quick launch buttons.
If your computer laptop bluetooth, you need the W7 bluetooth software and driver...
And you can use the version of W7 HP wireless assistant software.
You can also read the manual tools security protect manager, so you can understand how to use the fingerprint reader.

Can not access the system restore.
After the removal of a virus, no visible icons on desktop except Mcafee on the toolbar at the bottom. Was able to access the internet by clicking on Mcafee and then update. When you click Start the only visible program is Mcafee. Cannot see the control panel or Windows help/support or anything else. "Run" is not available.
Someone suggested that if I run the system restore, it could solve the problem. But the problem is that I can't access it in the usual way.
Hi Oishi Kuranosuke,
· Are you able to access the system restore in safe mode?
· You get the error message?
System Restore can bring back the virus.

can not get the upgraded gpu to work
Hi, I was caught at the lasso by helping a friend. They recently bought a hp pavilion p6-2371ea
Are the specifications of the HP Pavilion p6 2371ea desktop computer and its card mother H-Joshua-H61-Μatx (Joshua). According to this information, this model uses a UEFI BIOS and provided with Windows 8, installed at the factory. Change some of the settings of the BIOSto get the video work. You need to ENABLE 'Secure Boot' and 'Legacy Support' in the BIOS. You will also need to save these changes and will have to acknowledge these changes, if you are prompted.

Can not get the contact form to work
Hey DW'ers.
I have a (non-commercial) staff page and want to add a form accessible only via a tab "Contact us" in the navigation bar, which means there is no contact info anywhere link elsewhere on the site. I have the main contact page (the one they want when they click on the tab 'Contact us' in the navigation bar) registered under contact.html. Am I supposed to save only one page under contact.php?
I don't expect a ton of emails since this is a hobby/personal site so maybe I'm trying to 'cheat' a little by adding the code pre-made. Is this a bad idea? I should just form join us DW tool? I love this design simple http://www.html-form-guide.com/contact-form/creating-a-contact-form.ht ml but it doesn't seem to be an html form, it seems to be PHP. I contacted my host and they support php - they said to put the php script in my public_html folder I did, but that didn't work. What is the best way (even once, I don't expect much emails) to add a contact form?
Thank you.
Chris
Let's break things down a bit.
(1) HTML forms do nothing. They're just a form with fields and a "submit" button.
(2) in order to collect data and send them to your e-mail address requires a script (PHP).
(3) the script can be integrated into your form HTML and SavedAs page contact.php.
(4) or you can use contact.html and point the action attribute of the form to a separate PHP file.
action="path-to-form-on-server/form-to-email-script.php" >. " Any script that you use, make sure it's safe and has spam prevention & other safeguards built in. Sites the same hobby can be exploited by hackers, bots and spammers.
