  • cannot find the folder "program data".

    original title: New Data - Program for Windows 7

    I just bought a new computer with windows 7.  I am trying to install programs, for example, installing a program to C:\program data\Quantum.  I go to 'my computer' and can not find the folder "program data".  Is it possible that windows is hide it?

    Sandy

    Hi Sandy

    The program data file replaced the all users in previous versions of Windows.

    Open Windows Explorer. Click on organize / folders and Search Options / View tab.

    Select the option Show hidden files, folders and drives, and then click apply/OK.

    Navigate to C:\Users. In this folder, you will see a folder named all users with a shortcut arrow or the layering of padlock. It is a symlink pointing to the ProgramData folder. Right-click on the folder and select properties to see this data.

    Your programs are not currently installed just for the ProgramData folder. This folder is used to allow any user (for all users) access to an installed program that allows any user to operate this program.

    Many times, when you install a program, you will see an option to install the program for the current user only, or to install for all users.

    Another way, you can see it is to click on the Start button, right-click on all programs, and select open all users. This will open Windows Explorer to the

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Lately, photo gallery began by telling me that it cannot find a file.  The message box does not disappear, and I can not close the program.  He wants to find a location that is removable, and I can't seem to find something on my computer.  It started to happen just after Christmas 2011 and to appear more often over time.  The strange thing is, I often work with images on an external hard drive and I get the same message, and I need to drag the image to my desktop before photo library will 'find' and open it.

    Video files that are imported into iTunes can be presented in movies > Home Videos. If you can locate them here then you can change the media type. Is there a reason that iTunes does not like the format of the files, then there will be no error message when you try to import them. Falls copies in the automatically add to iTunes folder. Everything that iTunes rejects will be moved into a folder that is not added. You will not know the reason, but you will know at least for some iTunes is rejecting the media rather than ignorant.

    Thanks for the reply

    Hello

    Seems that drive HARD recovery does not work.
    Perhaps something has changed on the recovery of HARD drive partition or recovery files has been deleted

    Usually it s always advisable to create a recovery disk in a first time. This should be done at the beginning and this recovery disk is always useful if something would go wrong with drive recovery HARD or with HARD drive

    Now, you can't get the phone because you don t have this drive and the HARD drive does not work

    What to do?
    Well, I think that you would need new control disc.

    I had to reinstall clean Windows 7 64-bit because of the failure of the RAID 1. I have a picture of my original installation system, but I can't restore it; everything I try, I get the message "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).  I work through a number of possible solutions, without success so far.

    According to the kb/951002 (that is for Vista but I can't find an alternative for Win 7) I made sure that the SYSTEM account has read permission for the backup folders and subfolders.  However, the file structure of the specified in the above article backup folder is different from my image file structure.  Specifically, article specified a structure of 'N.zip' file for the backup files but mine are a mixture of XML documents and VHD - i.e. no "zip" files Also, my GlobalCatalog file does not what kind of file, for example, it wouldn't ".wbcat" required file type specified in the article.

  • Photosmart C4780 installation fails at the "system cannot find the file specified."

    My problem began simply with your printer, a HP Photosmart C4780, who has always had a wireless connection and would not print.  Initially, the checked network connection fine control panel of the printer.  I ran a Microsoft printer troubleshooting, which found a block in line print and authorized.  The first test page print, but did print the "internal test page.  I did not understand what it meant, so I looked for help on the HP site.

    I ran the HP print and Scan Doctorand he suggested I have reinstall the driver.  I have downloaded and saved the current HP (PS_AIO_06_C4700_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175.exe) and then uninstalled the existing driver.  When I tried to install a new, a window pops up saying "the system cannot find the file specified," with only a single box for click that simply says "OK".  The installation went through 'examining installation options', after entering "check updates, download updates, install updates" and then it was all in "audit system", who jumped out of the window "file not found" upwards, and when I clicked 'OK', the installation window as well as the error message box simply disappeared.  Which I suppose is the path to the file is under the window, but it didn't fit so he showed not the end.  What I read was "C:\Users\... \Local\Temp\7zS588E\Setup\.\Setup\hpzpnp40...»

    I found a topic on the same printer model for the same problem in the forum, which offered this hotfix:

    You must first complete a level 3 of the software uninstallation. I've included the steps below to do this.

    1. press the Windows key and the letter R
    2. type %temp%, and then click OK
    3. open the 7z folder (a more recent if there are multiples)
    4 open the util folder
    5 open the folder of the ccc
    6. double-click on the Uninstall_L3

    Once you have completed the Uninstall_L3, delete all of the items listed in the temp folder. Note, you will not be able to remove all the elements, please ignore those that do not. Then please empty the trash and perform a clean boot. I've included the document «How to perform a boot in Windows» If your computer does not request it, restart your computer.

    Once your computer is back, you must reinstall the printer software. You can do this either by using the Setup CD, or by downloading the software.

    I did what was suggested, until he got to the point where it says it was the case recommend not removing any more items if I had intended on using the HP Officejet printer (Yes, I have a second HP printer connected to the network) anytime in the future.  Not really understand how it all works, I decided to stop what I was doing, so unfortunately it has not solved my problem.

    Do I need to uninstall both printers HP before I can reinstall a?  And if I do that, is there a reason that I wouldn't be able to reinstall the two printers?  Looks like I'm asking trouble.  Bottom line... I can not install the driver.

    I tried to install the full versions and the driver base and still get the same result.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 3100t for computer laptop, running Windows 7 Edition Premium, version 6.1.7601 family service pack 1 64-bit.  I have not installed new hardware or software.  This printer has always had a wireless connection.  The router I'm using is a Netgear 54Mbps WGR614 v6 (provided by my cable company) and the network includes not only my laptop and the Photosmart printer, but also desktop ASUS, HP printer, an Officejet 6300 series (used only for printing graphics and photos via a wired to the router) and a chip on Vizio TV.  I use Norton 360 first Edition and disabled the antivirus auto-protect when I downloaded and tried to install the driver.

    Help, please!  And thanks in advance for your time and your attention.

    Oh, Jamieson, it worked!  I can print again!  A massive amount of thanks and congratulations to you.

    I couldn't believe it when he actually passed the point where it normally would stop the installation, but then almost at the end, upward jumped «Fatal error during installation»  My excitement sank into a depression.  He said while the installation was not successful and he needed to collect information in order to diagnose the fault.  I looked at what has been collected, and it was more or less gobblety-* beep * for me.  There was a code of 19714722 error condition, if that means anything.

    Then he placed on my desk, the "Error of Installation HP - Windows 7.hta" file and instructed me to do away with the current window, restart, and then open the file and move forward with these guidelines.  I did and he basically had me to restart the computer once again, and then turn the printer off, unplug the printer, then unplug the router, wait 30 seconds and then plug the TAA - DAA and back in, I'm back in the business of printing.

    Thank you very much for your time and patience.

    All the best to you and yours!

  • Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file. Even after restarting the Printer Spooler service

    I tried all of the suggestions posted and have had no success in restarting my print spooler. Help, please.

    Original title: I tried to restart the print spooler as directed, and he returned the error 2: the system cannot find the specified file. He does that and is it fixable?

    @Winston Microsoft M committed Support Engineer 'expert '.

    I can see your response that you did take the time to reproduce the problem and then try your own ideas to check if the problem persists.

    Here is what I suggest to you, so you can learn how XP actually works:

    Start in the XP Recovery Console or Safe Mode, so Windows File Protection does not run.

    Rename your file c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe you can remember (such as spoolsv.bak).  Now, the file is "absent".

    Restart normally.

    Then try to start the Print Spooler Service and you will see the error.

    So why don't you follow your own advice and run SFC and troubleshooting automated (as you suggested) and check if the problem persists.

    Please report your results.

    When you see that it does help and that SFC does not replace the missing or damaged file (in the system32 folder) and that the automated troubleshooter does not help, will sing it a different song (we hope).

    Don't forget to rename your spoolsv.bak to spoolsv.exe when you're done messing around autour.

    1. have you done any hardware changes or software on your computer before this problem?

    2. Why are you trying to fix the computer?

    It would be possible that the Windows XP installation disc is damaged.

    (a) you can try to do a Windows XP disk which should correspond to the same edition, as it is installed on your machine.

    (b) later, try to repair the installation and check if you are able to boot to the desktop normally.

    Perform a repair Installation


    Note:
    however, you should not have Service Pack 3 installed on the computer before you run repair installation.

    Hope the helps of information.
